First, sleep with the -3 Flamebait
Second, complain about Mr. Flamebait to +5 Funny
Third,enjoy the look of utter dejection on Mr. Funny's face when you tell him you've met +4 Insightful and are getting married.

+5 Funny will become the new -3 Flamebait and +4 Insightful is now off the market (unless he's double dipping on adult friend finder)

Not to mention their frequent use of (car ...) bombs...

And while I'm on programming jokes, here's some quick 'n' dirty perl code I whipped up:
@it = grep { is_idiotic($_) || is_ineffective($_) } @doj_memos;

Turns out, there's a whole lot of $#it.

I thought this was one of the very basic requirements of democracy. You don't EVER get to sit back and let the thing run itself. It requires constant vigilance on the part of the people to make it work. Maybe things have been too good for too long and people forgot this fact.

There's nothing wrong with a little self-satisfaction when you're able to make your voice heard. The victories show you the system can work. Use it to give you the energy for the next fight.

Seriously.

Germany, I know you were itching for some Lebensraum a few years back. Well, have you seen how much room we have over here? You could stretch your legs from here to eternity! And many of us are of German descent, so you could play that angle too!

He designed it to the same extent that some people design software. But that probably says more about the coders than him...

It's reasonable to hit all the pages at random, but the results should be weighted by the popularity of the page. That would be a better measure of how good crowd-sourcing is at solving these types of problems. Including the low-popularity pages in the results is important to this because it covers another issue with crowd-sourcing--it takes at least three to make a crowd. If wikipedia's breadth gets too large, the crowd sourcing method breaks down since there's nobody looking at most pages. It brings the credibility of many pages into question as a result.

Exactly. Though I didn't make that point explicitly, access to my data on my device by my company would not be acceptable either. The difference is, that would fall under my responsibility. I wouldn't just blindly trust them that they made their apps behave themselves and not look at my data. I would need to make sure they don't have access to anything I don't want them to access. I don't have the will or desire to go to those lengths for the privilege of paying to work from my own device.

Incidentally, I do have this set up for work access on my home computer. I have a clean VM with Windows installed that I use to VPN to my work connection. It provides that sandbox where my company can do whatever it deems necessary for their network security (AV installs, software audits, etc, etc) but have no access to my personal machine. Either of us can decide to remove access with no loss of anything valuable.

As you said, he's a spammer. People in the market for spamming services probably value asshats over nice guys that follow the rules.

My company has this policy, but I won't use it for one very simple reason:
You have to agree to a clause that allows them to remote wipe your device.
If it was truly a work device, this would be fine as it's theirs to do with as they please. It's my responsibility to keep whatever personal information I need backed up in a safe place. I'd probably still have my own personal device for personal photos/email/music/etc.
For a device that I own and pay for, this is not acceptable.

If the work access was appropriately sandboxed such that they could wipe only, for example, an encrypted partition of the SD card where the apps are installed and store their data, then I might be on board. Companies consider their data valuable, but I consider mine valuable too. And just like they won't give me root access to their servers, I won't give them root access to my phone/tablet/pc either.

And for completeness:
Chauffeured limos? Fuck off and die, you neo-con capitalist fascist scum!
