    Comcast Quietly Fired Hundreds in Direct Sales before Christmas

    If he happens to be earning 500k a year, and you eliminated his position entirely, you could give...... what for it.... $625 to each of the 800 employees. WHOOPTEDOO! With the added bonus of the company operations halting.

    Real Life Wolf of Wall Street Calls Cryptocurrency ICOs Biggest Scam

    Paris Plans to Banish All but Electric Cars by 2030

    Nothing say progress like your government telling you "Buy a new car or go to jail." Hippies used to be all groovy, but they're slowly transforming into the totalitarians. What a strange world.

    FCC Wants Mobile Data to Count as Broadband Internet

    This times a million. It costs upwards of $50,000 per plant-mile to lay fiber in a rural environment. In urban areas, the cost can be quadruple that. There is no way for MSOs to recover the cost of deployment in low density, rural, areas. Otherwise they would be there. Wireless tech is the...

    Google Employee's Anti-Diversity Manifesto Goes “Internally Viral”

    You missed the point entirely. I suggest you read the memo, think, then come to your own conclusions rather than regurgitating someone else's summary of the document. Your interpretations of what the document contains would seem to indicate that you haven't even read it.

    I prefer to read for myself and come to my own conclusions rather than being told what to think. Thanks for the link though. ;-)

    Google Employee's Anti-Diversity Manifesto Goes “Internally Viral”

    Huh. I must have missed that when I read the memo.... The word recruit doesn't appear in the memo at all. Please quote the section where he says we should stop recruiting women in the field. Here is the one sentence out of ten pages about empathy.: So evil..... am I right!? God forbid we...

    European Employers Must Warn Job Applicants before Checking Their Social Media

    It costs 10s of thousands of dollars to hire and train new employees. If a potential candidate has pictures of themselves partying, doing drugs, etc wide out in the open on social media (damn right I check,) they are not getting hired. If you want things in your life to remain private, keep...

    As long as I have to use that turd, Origin, to play Ubisoft games, every Ubisoft game is a No-Buy on PC.

    “Dig Once” Bill Could Bring Fiber Internet to Much of the US

    Wired solutions are never going to solve the broadband problem for Rural America. When it costs somewhere around $50-60k/plant-mile to put fiber in the earth, it makes zero fiscal sense to build out to areas with just a handful of passings per mile. You'll never recover the investment. Hell...
