    Think about it this way... You cut off your leg that means you have less body mass to support, meaning you don't have to eat as much or have as big of an impact on the planet. Cutting off your legs is not only a good way to get ahead in athletics but it's GREEN too!!!

    A receipt and/or bill of sale is legally equal to a "deed" And yes, if someone claims you stole their backhoe and the police show up, you'd better damn well have your bill of sale.

    This Legal firm has a documented history of sending these letters out to people who have never even HEARD of the software that they are accused of stealing. This isn't about stealing or not stealing. This is about a legal firm trying to make money for nothing...

    1. Find a crappy software company and become it's legal counsel.
    2. Send scare-tactics settlement letters out to random people.
    3. Don't prosecute the people who refuse to send money in.
    4. PROFIT!

    Ray: Am I reading something wrong? Did Hansen speak with irony in his voice? Did he mis-speak? Or was he saying that You wanted the intellectual elite to run the country?

    You reject the idea that the intellectual elite, which I think is fairly represented here, should not run this country? Too bad transcripts are so ambiguous... So much of our communication has NOTHING to do with the words we use.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Though I'm sure we are all familiar with people who see their arguments and ideas as part of themselves and regard any attack of such as an attack on their person.

    Of such? Their Person? I need some fresh air and to stop reading transcripts of lawyers talking!

    JK. She's now your ex... I'm guessing she found something... sounds like you should say that she was just-the-right-amount-of suspicious, not overly suspicious. That is one of the biggest logical missteps I've seen on /. in a long time. And just a terrible assumption. Did it occur to you that being with someone who doesn't trust you is a miserable existence? Or that there may have been other problems in the relationship not related to fidelity?
  15. Re:Man Up on Disillusioned With IT? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I used to love computer and IT stuff, till I started doing it for WORK. Screw that, the few days a month I do devote to work *see above for explanation* I get my butt in an old beat up service truck and head out to the boonies to dig trenches and work on water wells. Now if only I could find someone to buy my degree...

  16. Re:Thats irrational and selfish. on Disillusioned With IT? · · Score: 1

    Close... But the best parents are always the best spouses, marriage / significant relationship is #1, kids is #2. Otherwise you'll end up having nothing left of a marriage when the kids are not around.

    Also, people just don't need the kind of money that they think. Your kids will not be happy and well adjusted if their father/mother make themselves miserable to bring in more money every year than they actually need. You'll end up either holding a grudge against your own children because it's "their fault" you have to work so hard. Or you'll work your ass to the bone every day and spoil your children to make up for never spending quality time together. I've seen it done so many times that I would put money on it.

    Take a paycut if it means doing something that you enjoy. The stuff that you're able to buy won't mean shit to your kids if they never see you happy. And at the end of it all, all you have is your memories and the people that you've spent time with. MAKE THAT TIME MATTER. I'm a stay-home dad right now to my 18 month old son. I could stick him in daycare and go back to my reasonably paying job, but I'm having too much fun watching him grow up. That's not for everyone, maybe not even for me much longer, my wife is thinking of having another baby and has expressed that she wants to stay home after that one. So I'll get to go back to work again. It takes sacrifice, we have to be careful about what we buy at the grocery store and can't have the kind of cars we want. But that stuff doesn't bring us happiness anyway, an hysterical laughing fit from my son at a funny face I make gives enough joy to get through a whole WEEK. When I had my 4X4, I was only happy when I was off-roading and otherwise I was pissed at the gas mileage or how much maintenance it took.

    Seriously, sit down and take a hard look at your life, can you do something you enjoy and still make ends meet? Is the money you make now worth the price of your happiness and ultimately your child's social development?

    Why do people assume you can't code from prison? I'm assuming if you can obtain a law degree and pass a bar exam while incarcerated... well, you get the idea. I'm not saying it's a for sure thing, but to just assume that he will have nothing to do with it anymore seems obtuse to me.

    Yes, but it is still distillation, which very quickly removes all the impurities you were asking about in your original post. The fact that there's a membrane secondary to the still doesn't negate the effect of the still.
