Those things don't happen as a result of professionalism. They happen because some people can be assholes. Assholes don't care if a workplace is "professional" or a fucking free-for-all.

We have a rule in my house. The only bad words are words used to hurt other people. Fuck and shit aren't included in that group...

Yes, it's either too early in the morning and my strong cup of joe hasn't kicked in, or I'm not understanding your post at all.

As has already been mentioned, S3 can indeed serve static websites and has had this capability for at least a year now.

Why not just do an origin-pull via CloudFront? No need to build a static site on S3.

Do you have children? The problems OP complains about with San Fran, won't be made any better if he brings his SF salary here. That's the problem. It's pricing locals out of affordable housing. Rentals here in Sellwood&#x

I'm moving to Portland Except the bourgeois cannot afford to live in Portland anymore either. Rentals are ungodly expensive, water is expensive (in the PNW no less), garbage is expensive, electricity is expensive and last but not le

Here is an entire quote from one of his passages on a reddit thread: Hi guys. First off, big props to thesacred. I went out with him yesterday and he has tons of game. Looking forward to many scandalous nights with him and others in Tokyo.

I would argue that with MANY other publishing platforms available to the public, Kickstarter is NOT a "controlling body". Regardless, I believe wholeheartedly that censorship by the government is utterly and completely wrong, I d

Kickstarter isn't censoring anybody. They don't have a military to enforce the censorship. They didn't refund the money. They made a donation to RAINN instead. The POS still gets to publish his book and the backers still

@creativeembassy - Jesus, are you being deliberately obtuse? The passages WEREN'T there at the height of the controversy (i.e.: they'd been removed). They ARE there now.

And since nobody is mentioning this, women should be very afraid of the 800 or so individuals who purchased this vile piece of crap.

by gregd 13y ago
Oh, my reading comprehension is perfectly okay (even for an old guy). The issue that I have is that when the author claimed to have been taken out of context ("devoid of context" was the term he used), he himself removed the cont

by gregd 13y ago
My question is fair because the author is the one that removed the context. The context which he stated, was taken wrong. You comparing being interviewed by the police without an attorney present and what I said is ludicrous.

by gregd 13y ago
Actually he had. Those passages were not there and clicking on your link led to those passages having been removed at one point at the height of the shit storm.

by gregd 13y ago
The bullshit excuse I keep seeing about " taking quotes out of context " is making me mad. The author himself, removed those specific passages from his Reddit thread when the shit storm started brewing. If he worded what he wante

You're confusing censorship with boycotting. I don't care if his book gets published...just by nobody I do business with.

I was a heavy SO user during it's first year or so, until a user named RichB started harassing me (and others) on the site, to the point where he got put in the penalty box many, many times over the years. I guess I just realized it w

It's not just you and it gets worse on sites like SF where it's horribly elitist. On SO, it definitely depends on the category of your question. I've found that C# questions, which tend to be the most popular category, gene

I'm curious to know what you think is in Rails that isn't in asp.net.

When I worked for Netscape.com (the social news site) and later Propeller.com, we made a conscious decision NOT to ban known TOR IP addresses, even though a metric shit-ton of spammers used it.

Just to be clear, I'm not in favor of Corporate Personhood, by any stretch of the imagination. But if corporations want to apply the Constitution as if they're people, I think it's fair for me to apply the corporate tax code

by gregd 13y ago
You are correct...Corporate Personhood IS absurd. But until the people stand up to this bullshit, I think it's fair to use it in any capacity to highlight it's absurdness.

by gregd 13y ago
Do you think it makes sense to compare personal and corporate taxes? Yes. Corporations themselves want to apply the Constitution to the corporation as if they're a "person", therefore, it makes sense to compare the corpora

It's funny how you call everyone BUT yourself, a moron. Oh wait, no it's not. So the only way to the promised land, is via the path you laid out? I see what you did there.

The problem is that if NONE of the candidates adhere to my principles and I don't vote, SOMEONE wins by default.
