Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. I just wonder about the lawsuits when people start leaving the things at work and their employers get after them for not wearing them 24/7.
Actually, the poster you are responding to is correct. Under the Constitution, treaties concluded with foreign powers trump state and local laws. Interpret that as you will.
It sounds to me that HP is trying the Yahoo model, which of course comes from the Google model thanks to CEO Mayer. Whether a stodgy old stalwart like HP is agile enough institutionally to make this work remains to be seen. Who knows, maybe they'll spin off Rational again as they try to deal with the fallout of having their people on site.
I work at a place where it's okay to work from home occasionally, but there isn't enough permanent office space for everyone, so the powers-that-be instituted a "mobile officing" model for those like sales that don't necessarily need a permanent workspace. They built some open cubicles and conference rooms where people can sit for a time and connect to the network and make phone calls. There are lockers available for people to use to put their stuff in. Since everyone is issued a laptop, they carry their work with them and just use a docking station to connect.
Maybe you missed the article a few days ago about how the US is barring critics/dissidents from entering the country?
We've been doing that for years, unfortunately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farley_Mowat comes to mind, as does Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The actor Michael Moriarty, who like Mowat is Canadian, I think was not allowed to return to the U.S. after leaving it when his visa expired (IIUIC) because of his criticisms of U.S. policies.
Not trolling, just adding to what you said above.
Apropos:

Pronoun inflections are the only remnants of oblique cases in English. Indeed, they persist in other languages (such as French) that have dropped case as well.
This has been your pedantic language lesson for the day. You may now return to commenting on/.
You do anyway, even if you have private or employer-provided health insurance. Your premiums to a private insurer help pay for others as well. Some people will consume more health care than others, and the actuaries who compute the premiums and the risk involved in insuring a given applicant take this into account. It's statistics. The larger the pool of insured people, the lower the overall risk and the lower the premiums.
What I don't get is why otherwise smart people don't get this.
Fucking statistics, how do they work?

And Qwest is now part of CenturyLink, from Louisiana. It's our main telecom here in Colorado.

There were also gold certificates issued: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_certificate#Historic_U.S._gold_certificates_.281863.E2.80.931933.29. The United States was on the gold standard after 1900 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard#United_States--scroll down to the post-Civil War section), until 1933.
