"The FBI signed a contract" is not the same as "The FBI got the data". You must be new to government contracting.

It must be true..all of it...

The guy running the torrent site is buying stuff on iTunes?

I'd like to see a Venn diagram of "people who think there is no bias against black people" and "people who think there is bias against programmers who are over 40".

I'm sure every candidate who was interviewed and rejected can make this claim..

Sounds legit...

Could it possibly be that those 45 year olds that got laid off had become complacent and hadn't kept their skills current?

This is heresy on slashdot.

How does one guy placing orders cause a flash crash?

Is it too much to get the basic facts right?

If a 25 year old can do my job and for less $$, why shouldn't the company replace me? We do the same when we buy consumer products..

What happens to his daily rants against code.org?

Waiting for the inevitable "I don't want to learn new technologies because some of us have other responsibilities" and a lot of yelling at the kids to get off their lawn. slashdot used to be a good website. Now it's just a bunch of over the hill powerbuilder programmers who can't be bothered to keep up with the times.

Govt contracts are paid to work, not to deliver products. The more they "work", the more they get paid.

You see that on slashdot all the time. Every story about a cloud outage has a lot of "LOL!! kids and their cloud" comments moderated insightful.

Is there an objective measure for that? Or is that your opinion? Maybe their skills were more relevant.
