This sounds like a great way to end up getting raped.

Somebody else already said a similar thing, I see.. but...

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... That is a good one.

BTW: Another possible explanation for the reason that the Indian government can't be fleeced to the tune of some other nations is for the same reason that you usually can't steal a million dollars from a homeless person.

He would have died eventually in any case though, I suspect.

You say the majority of your day (I assume working) is spent dealing with spam.

So why do you hate the people that essentially make your paycheck?

You can argue macroeconomic stuff, blah, blah, blah.... that has nothing to do with it... at the end of the day (this day) your current bread on the table is coming from spammers (by your account here)... if there wasn't spam, you as a resource would have to be reallocated.. not saying it wouldn't be... but it isn't today (and there is no one holding a gun to your head to work in your current job.. you could work at CostCo). Right now, as it stands, spam helps your personal bottom line.

So, cry me a river.

What is a court faggot? Sounds interesting.

There are numerous other examples. (Symbol, which became Motorola, etm).

The point at which you thought it would be beneficial or worthwhile to respond ot some asshat on Slashdot.

Was Mexico kicked out for not being white enough or something?

Satellite phones predate even Iridium (as mentioned by the other followup).. Iridium was a new way of marketing the technology to be more acceptable (which ultimately failed spectacularly) (and also significantly improving the handset form-factor), but I remember using a suitcase sat phone in the early 90s.

Well now I have to pray about your wicked immoral behavior with your wazoo.

If I were not a ethnically Jewish now secular transhumanist... I would be praying for you.

Any honest "hall-of-shame" for contemporary journalists would be more efficiently represented by a list of who is not on it. (and no kids, it is not necessarily the case that the hall-of-shame and hall-of-fame are complements).

I also like the nice touch of the opacity of the links. I click a link about "Haystack" to get directed to another poorly written snark post light on content with yet another "Haystack" link that will, oh wait, take me back to that same exact page.

Fuck you.

Why is everybody with the surname of Graham that writes on the Internet a self-important self-absorbed douchebag? (And no... I don't consider myself a douchebag, just a crackpot with some severe issues dealing with loss.. thanks). Did Paul Graham witness his wife having anal gangbang with Larry Ellison and Bill Gates? If not, he has no excuse.

Well considering the originator of the video has/had a confirmed presence on greenpeace. I guess that is not too difficult.

No. The point is that one is higher than the other, and therefore of higher priority. Despite what you may believe a PhD/masters classification is not all that valuable and continually becomes less so since it is now pretty much SOP for Indians and Chinese to come here and attain those degrees to increase their chances of staying.

Numerous private American universities in addition to attracting the best and brightest also attract the "have a paycheck" crowd.

You can have a PhD and if you do not get special sponsorship you may still remain on a waitlist forever. EB-1 or other priority categories allow to go to the head of the line so-to-speak.
