"Whatever." --George Costanza, Marine Biologist

Brocade hates her!!

They're entirely different kinds of electric cars, altogether.

That's fine and all, but was there a use or intention behind it?

It's....a gigantic keyboard. For...communicating entirely in emoticons....? I think?

(It's slashdotted, so can't RTFA, but I feel like I'm too old to get this anyway)

"I don't think we've really tried to find answers yet because no one in the private sector has been properly incentivized."

They haven't been properly motivated. We'll help them come around to our way of thinking.

Democratic, adj (Sense 2): pertaining to or characterized by the principle of political or social equality for all http://dictionary.reference.co...

Providing equal access to all to these tools would be a process of 'democratization'. It's just what the term means.

That's the sort of underhanded genius that you need to succeed in business.

Mail a check? That's entirely unnecessary. They are 100% doing that so people will be discouraged from asking for a refund. Somebody over there is very pleased with themselves for coming up with that.

The preferred term is n'er-do-wells.

I thought SAP already had pretty a pretty solid foothold in the Spanish-speaking world.

You always see "Transmitido en Español en SAP" at the beginning of soap operas and game shows and things.

"Siri, Scott is running after me with a bat. How should I defend myself?"

I like the ones where they don't really tell you what the drug is for. You're just supposed to know, I guess.

Yep, frantic bongo music...the rug bunched up behind them. It was a textbook scramble.

Clang: Never Forget.

"We are entering an age when kids have grown up with technology, and don't make half the dumb mistakes their elders did."

We really aren't, though.

I work support for an MSP, and plenty of our clients have plenty of people my age (mid-30s) and younger who do just as many dumb things as their middle-aged supervisors. They're just as bad at explaining what their problem is, just as bad at following directions, and just as bad at not doing the thing again. They're definitely not any better at not falling for obvious scams, and get really pissy when they realize that. They're definitely no more skilled at putting the square connector in the square hole, and the green plug in the green socket. They certainly aren't willing to try and figure something out on their own, or take the initiative to 'try turning it off and then on again' before calling in, just in the off chance that fixes it.

Sadly, the notion that in 30 years when all the so-called 'dumb old people' die off we're going to be a world of enlightened computer geniuses is a fantasy, if my experience in support is any indication. I don't think even those users' younger siblings, who grew up on 'apps' and smartphones and tablets rather than proper computers, are going to be any better as a group when they hit the workforce.
