I mean, I guess I could use Jackson annotations for now, but since this work needs to be done anyway...

He's also a hardware, not a software guy, so it's probably not stuff you'd normally be following that closely.
It's also not what you'd probably think of as a "hardware" company, either, but they make their own electronics, including custom chips, to go into the stuff you would associate with them.

Sigh! my car does not have one. This happens after prolonged-entrepreneurship-syndrome and usually starts with non-maintained vehicles because they are considered non-essential.

Status: Loving the fact that Discourse has stopped marking new topics as "new" because I'm too far behind in reading, thus making it much less likely that I will ever read those topics because it looks like I've already read them. Discologic at its very best. </sarcasm>

Fantastic, there are over 30 of these enormous page count items all of them uploaded in 15 minutes. Now I know why the system has a huge backlog and I got a call about it seemingly being down. Printing 40k+ pages 30 some times locks the machines that do the work meaning I've also got a roughly 3000 item backlog for the to chug through (the machines were locked up for 12 hours before I got called this morning). Today is going to be a long boring day.

Oh, is that why nothing is marked as new and the kuro bar is gone?

This post is deleted!

And it looks like they took away the setting that allowed us to adjust the Kuro-bar. Sorry, you'll just have to read more quickly.

You can donate $50 to not wear any pants to work.
Your co-workers can donate $100 so you have to wear pants again.
That's what the car alarm button on the key fob is for!
I love that this is one of the most common hacks that people don't even realize they're hacking with when they hack.
"This button locks my car. But it makes a noise that I can control at a distance. So I'm using it as a call/response ping mechanism to help my locate my car by sound alone."
STOP  YOUR :car: YOURE STOP IT
But it works. It may not be what it was intended for, but it works perfectly and without detriment to anything else.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it looks like they took away the setting that allowed us to adjust the Kuro-bar.
And yet, we STILL keep upgrading to new versions of Discourse so we can lose features we're using.

Status: Fuck Chase bank.
Seriously. First they broke the connection between fucking quicken and their fucking accounts because security raisins. And now they're repeatedly rejection an Amazon transaction as suspicious. Despite the fact that I have told them via phone 3x now THAT I MADE THE FUCKING PURCHASE.
Best part: It's an amazon branded card.
Amazon has now been instructed to use my Amex. Fuck Chase. Paying this last bill and closing the account. Incompetent fucks.
This type of behavior implies to me that they're keeping mum about a breach.

Fuck those people for being near my car.

I'm suspicious of a homework assignment. That's quite an onerous interview procedure
I had one for my current job. But it was one that you were only supposed to spend (I think) 2hrs on. It was a lead in to the phone screen. And then the 6hrs on site.

Ah shit. THAT'S why Quicken's bitching at me. (I didn't have time to investigate)
Edit: I didn't pick Chase. I picked Home Savings & Loan. Who got bought my Wamu. Who got bought by Chase. And I'm lazy about changing...

I've had similar experience, but with Citi. And with a mortgage, so the only way to switch provider is to refinance, which costs real money, and which still provides no guarantee that it won't happen again.
Refinanced with a bank that is fairly widely disliked, but I've done business with them for over 20 years with no real complaints. They sold the loan to a crappy mortgage company, who turned around and sold it to Citi. I've had multiple bad experiences with Citi, and would never willingly do business with them again. However, I didn't have any choice in the matter.

Awwwww!
Since the forums there are borked right now, I am sorely tempted to just make a thread for it here, even though no on else here is likely to have any idea what I'm talking about. I was thinking of calling it "The Soppy Sentimentality Thread" just because, awwww...
Go. Read it. It won't make sense to you, but read it anyway. Awwww.

Correct. I couldn't pass on the chance to insult a latin-american musical genre on an english speaking forum.

I hadn't seen that until you pointed it out. Needs moar discokerning, less discovisibility and it would be cool if the background was discolor red, but that last one is just me nitpicking.
