What? No! How? Those poor bastards, I thought they were unscathed. Well, at least their heart's in the right place these days.
Cost of Attendance, Undergraduate, Brown University: Full Time Off-Campus. $71,412
Yet, they have billions in investment funds.
I'm 110% in favor of higher education, but not at schools that are run like an exploitation racket. Even state schools, that receive loads of Federal funding, are exploiting students financially. It's insane that it has gotten this bad. Soon, the upper class will be the only ones who will be able to afford an education. In light of everything else, that almost feels intentional.
Apologies for the slight digression here, but institutes of higher education that are overflowing with cash make me see red. You're a school, that's not how any of this is supposed to work.
I believe it was you, and the Irish.
Oh shit, I just realized why they're mentioned. Yield, for they have the high ground, and cannot be sieged.
That dude's going straight home to beat his wife. Statistically.
Idea: Encourage police officers to marry the police union.
Strike, and strike again, deep into the heart of Mordor. Ignore the cries of those who only wish to keep their coffers full.

They only killed a small percentage of the people who purchased them. Please, think of the innocent shareholders.
ETA: Look at the downvotes on this new post. The one on my comment arrived instantly. Not normal on this site.
Possible lodging, no food.
It was quite a few years before I could afford a month's worth of food in one go, and I was too old to join by then. The way they (people my own age) handled telling me that I was too poor to join their club, left a lasting impression.
I'd avoided the exact quote for the reasons in your comment, but it works so well in this context that it's tough to let go of entirely. Glad you didn't just see it as a misquote! Nice work helping to keep the record straight.
Those who trade privacy for security achieve neither.
Reminds me of the Conservation Corps. As much as I support the concept, programs like this are not for people who need money.
That was my first question as well, along with counting the many ways this could have turned out horribly. The article calls it a prank, but this had disastrous potential. Not just for the company; anything that goes wrong in that sector, in the way of IP theft and the like, will be blamed on the prankster first, until proven otherwise.
The casual way it's discussed, and calling it a prank, gets under my skin a little. Am I alone in that?
Think of how much policy will need to be typed up because of this, and again, the potential for disaster, on both sides. I'd be floored if a former employee did this to my team, and I wouldn't care if it was a joke, at all. At the very least, the dude would be trespassed, if for no other reason than to show he's been warned.
I'm just going to imagine that this guy wanted more funding allocated for his buddies in the IT department, and did this as a parting gift.
