I would suggest you compare the CEO wages in the U.S. with CEO wages in the east, Japan especially.
IIRC, the average is that CEO wage is 24x the wage of your lower worker. In the U.S. it is in the hundreds of times.
The difference in the east and the U.S.: the CEO is considered important but not necessarily above the other workers. In the U.S. they are in an ivory tower. That's a problem and that's what so much of us have a problem with.
If the technology didn't change and people were still reliant on the horse 1920 it would have been exactly correct.
So I don't know what your point is here. Is he right in making a bid to change the status quo or is he wrong? Changing the status quo could change the upcoming calamity just like the introduction of the horseless carriage did.
The big difference is there are a lot more people currently fighting to keep the oil status quo now than there was for horses in 1900.
A few days? Sorry... that isn't good enough. Anyway, right now the problem is that people on 1st level phone support at Google are not authorized to do RMAs and it has to go to 2nd tier.
Their phone support is jammed, and their 2nd tier must be doubly so.
The defect I was referring to is the side of the screen lifting and/or a gap. My problem with charging (the included charger and cable is good and works with my phone) seems to be your normal luck-of-the-draw factory line defect.
Ok.. I don't get it. I got my Nexus 7 preorder on Monday and did not have *one* problem with packaging. As a matter of fact I have liked the packaging of every Nexus product I have bought as well as even thought the graphic design was good. I had no problems breaking the seals and opening the box.
I am much more concerned about the fact that the unit will not charge and the fact that so many people at places like at xda-developers are seeing the same defect time after time and the fact that I am having such a hard time getting an RMA.
Not quite right. It's a pseudo-govermental organization trying to get their way. Or, if you want to look at another angle, it's a group of businesses banding together trying to get their way in a market. In the old days I believe that was called a "trust".
This is one of those areas where you can see what the so-called "free marketeers" really think. If you *really* believe in the free market, IP blocking, region codes, etc. should be right out because when it comes down to brass tacks they are simply artificial price controls on a marketplace that no longer have natural time and space restrictions in place. As usual it isn't about core beliefs, it's about what gets the most money in their fat hands.
If they want the world to be "free market" they need to stop being hypocritical and take the good with the bad. You can't go running to big brother every time it doesn't go your way and the outcome of your philosophy doesn't match up with what your perfect world looks like.
One of my biggest issues with corporate culture is the ending to so many disputes where the misbehaving corporation "admits no fault" for the situation.
They should always have to post a "we did wrong" letter after they get shown the door.
As a user of Dell for Linux before the N Series came out and as a person that still uses an N series laptop and Ubuntu, I can tell you my next laptop, even if the are partnering with Ubuntu, will not be from Dell. Over the years I've felt pretty screwed over as a Linux user and the last re neg of their commitments to Linux users has convinced me to no longer be their customer. My next laptop purchase in on the horizon, and it will be from a vendor like System 76 or someone else that seems committed. Who knows when Dell will decide to defecate on the Linux community again.
The leadership of the tea party (regardless of any anti-corporate grassroots) wants more corporate control. Every person in government with "tea party" ties has deals with corporate buddies.
even though it didn't work for change in that particular case, one of the most enduring images of a person standing up to a government is the man that stopped the tanks in tiananmen square.
It didn't get the government to change, but after that happened there was no doubt about what was really happening in China. Not a shot was fired (in that particular event) either, and it (unfortunately) meant more than the people that we actually killed.
"Emotionally rigged" is a good phrase. Right now a great deal of our populace is basing the voting decisions of 30 second commercials. There are voiceover artists that do nothing but read copy in a tone of voice that connotes evil or threatening overtones. Our elections are supposed to be about real debate, but you can't have them in 30 second corporate crafted soundbites.
When you add on top of it a set of "debates" every presidential cycle that specifically filters out certain questions the corporate media does not want to be discussed it's the formula for some really awful decision making by a populace that is, by and large, lacking on their critical thinking skills.
Ron Paul and today's "libertarians" are not libertarian by the traditional meaning of the world.
We need to call them what they are: corporate anarchists. Traditional libertarians didn't believe in elevating the rights of *any* institution (public or private) to that of the individual because it is dangerous and it would be a concentration of power. These idiots believe more in the rights of corporations than people.

...and have nothing to do with the company's overall success, right?
That is what infuriates me about current corporate thought.

There was a right-wing nutjob on air (the fat one) saying that the character of Bain was calculated to make Romney look bad over the past week.
Just sayin'.
It would of been better if everyone in the audience was armed. There would of been no shooting then... right?
was on slashdot, saw the girl in the ad for "Roadkill T-Shirts," and accidentally did it subliminally. Nothing to see here... it's an accident.

Yeah, I know it is way too much to ask.
Can someone doing work on slashcode please place a trigger that mods any comment with the work "socialist" automatically to -1... please...

In two years, first level support: "What is this Linux? You must reinstall windows 8 and send it back or warranty invalid!"
You need the right accent, too.

But it's not in my cell phone.
This leads one to the question... underpowered for what exactly?
Buy the right hardware for your project. If this doesn't fit then don't buy it. Buy the ODroid-X, which is a quad core 1.4 Ghz if that is better.
PI is giving me a platform to cheaply learn some stuff, so it fits my needs fine.
!we.. *were
uh.. yeah... the video you're describing was shown as fake a mere 1 day after it appeared. Good for you.
*not* Libertarians. Corporate anarchists.

anyone that uses the term "lib" can be ignored with no loss of information.
