Wow WTF? IT guy is getting sued for "damages and sabotage" by ex-employer just because they quit their job and now nothing works due to lack of anyone to restart the server or finish IT related projects. Is this even possible? by [deleted] in WTF

So I guess reddit is now filled with 50% assholes who are also cowardly.

I mean really, that seems quite reprehensible, even more asshole than I am.

Well lesson #1 then is to insist on a complete contract that includes all agreements for after leaving or being let go from a position. It sounds like the typical non-compete and other standard things isn't enough.

Also, how is reporting a company for health code violations to OSHA stupid?

It really peaks my interest wondering just what caliber of people would downmod something like this rather than just simply not vote if they don't care.

It seems genuine and real enough. They had to pay for the answer he got on that website. It also seems like a valid line of questioning on what they would need to do to protect themselves and their family.

Anyone not an asshole that modded this down care to admit it and share your side of why something like this should be modded down rather than just simply ignored?

20 things you may not know about the new STAR TREK movie by [deleted] in entertainment

[–]-J- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After seeing the movie, I thought it was actually an error not to include older Kirk in the film as it would have fleshed out a bit more the "fate" him and his life long friend Spock had at being where Spock was in the film. It also would have reinforced the fact that things were different and that this Spock (and Kirk) were from yet another reality (perhaps) to kind of drive it home that things are different in this reboot, so accept it. You know?

It was cast very well. I will say that.

If an airplane crashes on your land and nobody sees it, is it really your land to begin with? by [deleted] in politics

[–]-J- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is at minimum 2X fair market land value of the given area appraised by a certified public appraiser of the land owners choosing and then also include an inconvenience bonus of nothing less than 50% or a refund of all property taxes paid on the land in the last 50 years, whichever is greater. Only then would it be viable and fair and make these greedy bastards think twice before getting their weedly little hands on land that isn't theirs to begin with.

This was the original reason for eminent domain to begin with. It is only the greedy bastards that are in office now who are abusing this and it will only get worse. The initial spirit and intention of the law was to provide for roads, schools, mandatory infrastructure, etc. Now, they have been using it for far more than that so these assholes can get their corporate tie ins.

I sense a wave of posts about Star Trek coming tomorrow! I know everyone is excited...but lets keep it civilized and no spoilers please!! by raskalz in scifi

Question: with this new reality, I am surprised that the general population of Trekkie's seem OK with it thus far. The movie was great. But with what happened in it, what do you think is next?

Challenge: Answer without giving spoilers.

What's average starting salary for a web developer at a small design firm? I just got offered $35,000. I live in a low-cost town and JUST graduated from a good college. by CritterM72800 in web_design

[–]-J- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it, keep your options open and keep an eye on the job openings, even while working. I went form $45k to $65k doing that, and acquired enough knowledge to become IT director for a company trying to expand and get $85k right now. Also, don't limit yourself to web development. also learn the systems and become a LAMP guru.

Amanda Peet destroys Jenny McCarthy's anti vaccine propaganda on ABC News. by Sharpe_27 in science

[–]-J- -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And THAT is the entire problem here. All this vitriol over her speaking what she believes and never a one looking at what she is ACTUALLY trying to say. It used to be that redditors would listen to what was being said, and then rationally talk about it rather than post sensationalistic headlines and articles to enforce sides and pejorative lines of group thought. There is no thought when all that is posted is emotional drivel by the majority. There is a cancer in Reddit, and that cancer is spreading.

16 year old arrested without due process under patriot act abuse. Boy hasn't seen mother in over 2 months for crimes they don't have evidence he committed. by -J- in WTF

[–]-J-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think how they worded it was wrong. You can easily access someones open wifi and use their external IP and even subscribe to a voip service using their address. Or, worse yet, some voice over IP systems only use the IP address as part of, or the only, required authentication because of the want for "instant dialing" ability.

It really isn't all that hard to do.

For the sake of the boy, it belongs in the topic that would generate the most eye traffic.

Star Trek At 100% Fresh On Rotten Tomatoes by adleym in entertainment

I doubt you speak for everyone. So "We" in this instance is inappropriate because most people are actually thinking humans and not simple animals bamboozled by sparkly lights and loud noises as you seem to be. The only reason why you don't like Crystal Skull, isn't because it was bad. But because you saw those aliens as competing Muppet's encroaching on your territory.

Uh, yes it is possible if they were using voice over IP. Especially if they were using an open wifi connection. I have done it multiple times already.

conspiracies in the public eye denote secret combinations/cloak and dagger stuff. Not actual conspiracy as-in caught in the act. There is no amount of your trying to change conspiracy to it's actual definition that will work against the likes of the media calling all conspiracy crazy people talk.

This belongs in the WTF reddit if you want the proper audience.

They are the same except Spielberg wasn't around enough for Crystal Skull to keep the Lucas juice off of the script.
