Where the hell is that where soldiers take that kind of action on a civilian ??? That is not proper procedure.

Mexico! The country where everything is possible!
Robbers help community, politicians cover mafia operations in the public's face, people take justice in their own hands without punishment, people is jailed and prosecuted even when they have proof of NOT commiting crimes, a guy robs 1 kg of barbeque and is jailed for 2 years, while a politician steals 200 million from government treasure and his sentence is forgiven when he returns the money.... it's the upside down world here! 
Latest ones I've heard, a person I know went on a road trip, while in the highway, he is pulled over by a fed, who insists on checking all documentation without him having commited an infraction, after 20 minutes of, supposedly, expecting a bribe, a pickup parks nearby, 2 guys get down with AR-15 and AK-47 rifles and ask the fed to let the guy leave, they even mock at him on what's he doing, throw him to the ground and laugh at him and after the fed is gone, the guys greet this person and promise that there won't be any more trouble ahead as they have cleared the area now...whom I owe the favor? asks, and the guys name a very known crime organization...get up on their truck and leave...

Not that I'm proud of the state fo things around here, but it's a war against crime now. After years of government corruption and reelections from the same political group, now that we finally gave a little step towards democracy with government political alternance, the cloaks that were left uncovered are throwing a lot of sh%t specifically from all those people who were involved with crime and, now that there are new people who is trying to do the right thing, well, the bad guys are not too happy with their business going down....
Its not an easy time here, but at least I'm proud that they are doing the right thing, not just playing dumb and act as if nothing happened.

That's an odd denomination.

We have $20, $50, $100, $200, $500 and $1000 denominations, for bills.
Coins range from 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20

Gotta read the article it wil make you laugh.man stabs marine and "falls off curb"
Yes its Photoshopped from the original article but its still funny as hell.

yeah I had actually looked up the original story. The marine was stabbed but the 4 marines held the guy for cops and he didn't actually have the accidental step off the curb. It would have been so righteous if he had though. Maybe that's why its so funny even though we know its not completely real.

Just wait until JSOP posts his long literary account of what happened, this should be good.

Ok, as many of you know I'm very new to this new career and am working at my first good job doing it. I have been working on an update to existing applications that were written by a self taught programmer. Now he wasn't bad but there are some issues with his style of coding that Ive had to work through. Add to that, he is no longer here or available. there are about 5 comments in 40,000 lines of code, and he seemed to like obscure names for variables, functions and whatnot. Its an ASP.net app that is full of javascript for things that could have been handled perfectly fine with c#'s built in items, and on the list goes.
As you can imagine, its been a tad bit of a headache figuring out what he intended with any particular piece of code.
My first major update went live and so far.. seems to be working as intended and did not break anything else. WHEW! ! looks like I get to keep my job for a bit longer yet
Not to mention it makes me feel a bit more like a real programmer to have successfully completed this update. Now on to the next one ! ! ! !

well now, to be honest it didn't seem to break anything when I went live, but, I refuse to fully discuss the last few days of running the app from a live TEST site I had built....But that's nobodies business but my own

When in trouble, break glass and pull handle.
Never admit fault. Any mistakes were always made by the guy down the hall. Never put your name on the source code and always play stupid.

I hear you...
Last job I was, you could tell who was a senior programmer by the number of times they screwed up with their releases...there were qualifications based on the number of users affected, and top 1 was bringing down the system (I used to work in a SaaS company so you can imagine the impact). I myself won the first place a couple of times just with that last one
Still, code was so obscure and patched all over that they couldn't prove that it was me the one who brought the system down
