True story: Where in the world for carmen sandiego on 5.25in disk stopped working.

My mom called broderbund support and they had her rotate the floppy platter until a fingerprint was visible. They had her fold the disk into a standard envelope and mail it to them. They provided a replacement.

Shit like that just doesn’t happen anymore.

Look at this pathetic lesser troll! He’s been threatening Slashdotters for years but I’ve invited him under the bridge dozens of times and he never shows up!

If you want someone to reel in horror at death threats you need to go to twitter or tumblr. Nobody cares about that here!

This is why you’re such an unpopular troll. Your humor is for you and you alone.
Who is supposed to be the audience for “dear retard”?
Nobody else is in on the joke and it’s not even a joke. More like a joke-like-substamce.

Your humor doesn’t even need to appeal to the majority of Slashdot but it needs to be fresh and funny to at least a few people.

Well the worst executives make a good case that whatever they do can be divided up among their subordinates and a LLM. I had one executive that was so bad we often had to suffer under the weight of mistakes he’d made that were so bad they jeopardized our certification as an organization. We covered for him time and time again to save our own skins. He was rarely on campus and had only the faintest of idea what was happening with the department’s major projects.

He had replaced a guy who basically spent all his time sleeping and measuring the duration of pee breaks. As a CIO, in a midsized national corporation.

I know exactly who I’d swap out in pretty much every leadership position in the department. How do things end up like that? Not sure but basically everyone in charge was a proxy for some other person who was actually doing their job.

Some people are just less than nothing and a lot of them happen to be execs.
