   It will be a cold day in hell before I send a copy of my ID to facebook. WTF are people thinking?!

   Why such an highly annoying video with random, needless panning? Just write an article and display the pictures.

   1% is hardly a collapse. Why so doom & gloom?

   Sounds like 50% of my experience with BT. Of course, that's probably Comcast's fault.

   "I looked him straight in the eye and said, "if you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested." I stopped reading there. Way to be a douche and instigate trouble. Edit: There are far more constructive ways to handle dislike of the policies

   I work at a very large K12 district so some feedback: It's probably not you, it's me (them). Government/schools are notoriously slow and bureaucratic. Even the most simple of purchases takes FOREVER. In my district I can't buy ANYTHING f

   I gave up on umbrellas in Chicago and just got a nice raincoat from Patagonia.

   I take walking breaks around the block as well (downtown Chicago). Definitely helpful. If others question, just remind them of the total time smokers get during the day. No one questions them.

   If I rob someone of $10k I'm going to jail. If I use a botnet to take their site offline, resulting in a loss of revenue or donations of $10k, I should also go to jail. Just because it is easy or common doesn't make it any less of a crime.

    Excellent tradeoff in terms of cost/benefit. More companies should re-evaluate their need for 5 9s and instead look at cases where they can gain efficiencies by doing LESS. Does every single company really need a huge UPS system and backu

    Some K12 schools don't have .edu address. For example, *.k12.il.us for schools in IL. Furthermore, I'm not sure if your target is higher ed or secondary ed, but a lot of k12 schools will block anonymous boards.

    Breckenridge CO is fantastic, as is Vail. Both are expensive.

    All. Of. This. (maybe not the high part) You're actually in an interesting spot, because a year or two of community college, while not exactly like a 4-year school, will help you determine whether or not you really want to put forth the eff

    I left a BigCo job for the same reason. Interestingly enough, I learned in my HR class just last night that stacked systems are disastrous. Any modern HR dept. should not be using them.

    The perks like free lunches, car washes, laundry, etc are less interesting as people get older. These are all designed to keep you in the office longer. Maybe it's cool to have your social life revolve around work when you are 22, fres

    Personal opinion: Google doesn't build great products. They are a technology company That is a great insight few people want to admit. Google creates great technologies and releases them as soon as possible, often half-working and

    As a soon-to-be MBA, jaded from consulting experience, let me give one piece of advice. Screw any "rankings" or "best places" to work lists. Most are completed and submitted by the companies themselves with no checks, vetting, or due dili

    You're kidding? We had this discussion the other day - finance, accounting, HR, recruitment, legal, tax, logistics, supply chain, sales, marketing, enterprise support, etc. There might be more CS/engineers but it still takes a LOT of othe

    That's why there are TWO chambers. House gives you representation based on population while Senate give you equal representation. Checks and balances.

    not 0, which visually exaggerates the differences This is one of the most overused, and INCORRECT, memes on HN. You don't include 0 on a graph where data doesn't naturally include 0!

    This app is certainly controversial, but can be helpful to people in relationships where this type of monitoring can be useful.” WTF does this say about our society? What an awful person.
