"I just don't 'get' the ambiguous sexuality of apple products."

What? Oh, I get it. It's a joke. OK!

Because most other content didn't require the bandwidth; if comcast wants it's customers to be happy, they should make the content their customers want more readily available without extorting the content provider - yes, work with the content provider, but not extort them. But comcast doesn't care about it's customers because it has an effective monopoly on high speed bandwidth in most places it operates.

Happy customers not switching to competitors? Happy customers telling others how great Comcast is? Oh... wait... that only works in a competitive market.

Additionally, as Comcast's customer, I am the one paying for Comcast's infrastructure, and I should be able to use the bandwidth I already paid for the way I see fit - Netflix is not Comcast's customer, I am, and I'm already paying. Comcast is now double dipping.

It's not Neftlix wanting unlimited bandwidth access to Comcast's customers, it's Comcast's customers wanting what they actually paid for already. If Comcast has a problem with me using the service I already pay for to access Netflix, then their problem is with me, not Netflix. I'm the customer. I'm the one paying for bandwidth, and I'm the one choosing to use that bandwidth to access Netflix. I understand they argument they weren't throttling Netflix, that there were other problems, but I would think Comcast would actually want it's customers to be happy... that is, unless they had an effective monopoly on high speed internet service to their customers... which is exactly what they have with the majority of them.

"...when they depreciated OpenSSL..."

I don't think you can claim OpenSSL as a write off on your tax form.

"...they can't touch me?"

Yes, they can. But only from left to right.

'However disgusting, "revenge porn" ought to remain legal...'

It's not about free speech. It's about not respecting someone else's privacy. It's about breaking an implicit trust.

Tell you what, if it's OK to post the pictures I say it should be mandatory that the real name of the person submitting them should be posted right alongside the image, in order that women everywhere could know who to avoid.

'Ah, because the metric for "spherieness" isn't at all subjective.'

That's true. It's not really subjective. Here's a neat little illustration/calculator to help you with the concept.

"...affects your biological health and circadian rhythm"

True, but in a 13 or 17 year cycle who is going to notice an hour?

"the fact that some transmission was not by rats does NOT imply
that no transmission was done by rats."

What it DOES imply is that no matter who does the research or what the conclusion there is going to be disagreement from armchair scientists and contrarians on Slashdot.

They have a word for alternative medicine that works: medicine.

"Don't quit your day job..."

You might want to re-read the summary. His day job is quitting him.

And to the original question asker I'd say go with development because you'll never be good at something you don't like.

Also, when you've landed that good job, reward your girlfriend amply for helping make it all possible. :-)

Yeah, but this is more what came to mind for me:
