Can't wait 'til she discovers the wonders of forced casualisation and then gets super upset when employees choose not to come in for 3 hours at 20-minutes notice. "How dare they tr…

At the very least they've definitely been run through a middle-man at some point. So what they've done is put a microphone in a library, grabbed whatever audio is on it, voice reco…

Surely that should be 'growings-up'? Motion to burn at the stake the author/poster until we reach a conclusion

It's pretty firmly established that Bush lied and had been gunning for Iraq long before WMD became his casus belli and you have a wonderful resource called the world wide web if yo…

A lot of people here seem to have absolutely no issue with saying "I have no problem with the ethical ramifications of a company's actions or choice of representatives or the benef…

I've never used it but I was under the impression that Microsoft had not killed off their Messenger platform, just MSN Messenger? They still run Lync which is the business-oriented…

That's a pretty interesting test, thanks for sharing it. The funny thing is I had to pass over a bunch of words I know from french/latin/italian that I haven't seen used in English…

I moved to Rome and got a job at a small Italian company with just a handful of other people. I'd never studied Italian before (but French and Latin, yes) and just simply turning u…

There's a certain niggling worry I have about googling "how to hide my data from google"

I like that. "Prove you're not a drug dealer and we'll see if there's still money to return." It kind of gives the middle fingers to 3 somewhat-important US rights: the right to no…

Don't bitcoin tumbling services pretty much make it logistically impossible to follow the path of bitcoins if they cycle it enough? Also I wouldn't rely on the governments to do mu…

I think anyone who brands themselves in such a manner -- namely, to purport to be something they're not -- is a duplicitous, deceitful deceiver, and has no place in honest business…

The issue I have with this is that there's no such thing as "by the book" Federal investigations anymore. Snowden showed us that US intelligence agencies are using illicit, warrant…

So you have to send all the techs and teams out twice to dig up the road? The end-of-the-line has always been the most expensive part, that's why it made more economic and technica…

That's not true at all. What newsroom did you work in that had journalists writing their own titles and expecting even a modicum of influence over the final product once it has bee…

I say leave it. Don't reduce your chance of getting paid work just because some smug clown on the internet wanted to score a psuedo-zinger by yelling at his television screen. If a…

That infographic is truly awful and I feel sorry for the poor guy who spent a few hours putting it together and carefully aligning stuff until it's 'just right'. Know when to kill …

I can't find the link but wasn't there an article, either by Ycombinator or about Ycombinator, that directly contradicted this article. The gist of it was that a VC firm isn't real…
