True enough but we know what scientology believes because of USENET (alt.religion.scientology). The church of scientology literally ran out of lawyers for DMCA takedowns, which don't work on USENET because it is structured like the in

Management is deeply ideological more so than people working. Was in an IT union for over 10 years. I can't speak to how great the union was for worker issues - I was told to my face I "had a religious problem" by a manger

They're probably still using USAS. Written in 1969. In COBOL. Someone at Sabre claimed the booking software had been rewritten in Java. I worked at a place that had over 350 people working in airline booking and saw that product in

I get the idea behind snap, flatpak, and appimage. But what I don't like is: 1.) config file locations end up all over the place depending on which you use. I like taking my .thunderbird data and just dropping it from one system to t

I'm on the federal do-not-call list. Isn't it $500 per call, and $1500 if they don't give a business address when asked? I get at least 6 per day on average. Occasionally I don't get any. I stopped answering my phone

I am a T1 diabetic, and worked for UnitedHealth Group. During that time they decided to stop paying for my insulin with no substitute for it, in spite of several cheaper substitutes existing. Thank god for Canada mail pharmacies. No amoun

Not trusting corporations is possibly the best advice available. I used to work for the largest insurer on Earth, a "health insurance" company. They quit paying for my insulin, which I need to live. They have enough lawyers the

A number of people here are somehow defending CEO behavior, and should not be. Notable in this is that Apple CEO took a pay cut and didn't layoff, and Intel's CEO too a pay cut. I don't think termination of a CEO should be a

If you have a google account, you can use it at bookmarks.google.com. The web interface is primary, but if you have your bookmarks bar visible, you can drag the 'Add Bookmark' link to your toolbar, and it will place a button ther

So I do something perhaps similar to Bush's trail idea and perhaps not. I use google bookmarks to build my own set of links for a number of given topics (tags). I've put the javascript for adding as bookmark into a bookmark item
