Yeah Microsoft should take the risk here, not American citizens.

So let Microsoft pay to restart it.

I guess it the government gives them the loan then the gov’t gets interest payments, which must help inflation over time. Assuming that they make those payments…

I never took him at his word.

How is gender and race at all relevant for this joke?

The story itself isn’t a joke. The linkedin salesman guy wrote a stupid story about an unrealistically obnoxious rich guy who trips over his own racism.

How is that picture appropriate for a professional networking site?

Maybe he’s targeting people who look like that. The [guy who is rude to my target demographic] is quietly pwned by [my target demographic] (Now they will buy my product).

Ask him? His name is on the image.

Does Notepad++ allow rich text?

1. Good!

Now everybody will learn that I’m ugly.

This clearly only applies to situations where the kids have more money than the parents. Generally, family helps out when they can. If you can’t help, then don’t. Obviously you shouldn’t help your parents financially if they’re more wealthy than you.

I’ve never heard this before, and it sounds gross and stupid. If you have the power to help your family then do it. Ignore the psycho who lets his parents wallow in poverty.

Although personally I’m more broke than my parents so it’s not an option.

In order to answer this, I’d need to compare the efficacy of both the for-profit and the non-profit organizations. In some countries you don’t get paid, and I don’t know if that leads to blood shortages.

Bakeapple cheesecake is the real deal.

By “self hosting” do you mean serving apps from your own computer, where that computer is always online so you can access your own apps from the net on a client machine? Even when you’re at work or out in the city?
