Taxes only hurt the poor, regardless of who you think you're punishing.
Well the problem is in making sure that finances don't get hoarded... Hoarding of finances leads to a lot of problems.
The Top of the economy buys things from the bottom of the economy, and hires them to service the rich.
Not the absolute truth. The end result is usually, the poor are pushed to lower their prices. Since most of the rich and most others want to have better returns on their investments, and will not settle for something like 5-10%...
can make a car
Well... Not all things should be equally easy. And we give away those elements to increase our own safety. Would you like to buy a car that could potentially explode at any given time?
You should remember that safety is NOT in the interests of private enterprises, income is...
Your cigars last 2 minutes? Try Habanos... Oh, wait, it's US right?
Being legal does not imply unregulated. Alcohol is regulated, but no one is talking about the recovering alcoholic having a "moment of weakness" in the alcohol store...
All rational people want is regulation over criminalization.
>> Regrettably, currently illegal drugs don't really have lobbies on the same scale that tobacco and alcohol companies have.
Oh, yes they have! Those are called "Anti-drug lobby group" (ironically)... And they, by far, are the biggest lobby group ever!
Imagine the money for writing software for those distillers and brewers that will need to keep their books clean:)
And better, yet - NO TAXES on that money!
You are missing one critical point here.
It's IBM that is offering the SOLUTION. Meaning everything WILL work quite well, and you will even have a list of things that are certified as hot pluggable.
Need be, IBM will even offer you a bunch of hired and trained monkeys from India...
Larry Ellison founder and CEO of Oracle corp(from Wikipedia):
During the 1970s, Ellison worked for Ampex Corporation. One of his projects was a database for the CIA, which he named "Oracle".
Does that constitute proof?
Well... It depends on the country as you say...
In my country, every IP thing I create as part of any contract is by default owned by both parties, unless stated otherwise.
Not absolutelly true.
I work at one of those Fortune 100 companies.
But I did not get in though HR. That is the way in. Go over HR as much as possible, and the degree will not matter.
Hey! Not TRUE!
My personal story starts with breaking into BIG IT in 2006. So there! And I was picked over people with masters degrees. Guess starting programming at 14 helps, since I am 24 now...
As a person that is an application developer and a consultant* and without any university degree, let me say that YES, you can get a job in IT, even a well payed one.
But the problem is that you have to be in the upper 10% in knowledge and talent. If you are mediacore, then you will have hard time to get in. And I am 24 now.
* - Not freelancer and not self employed
Yeah in the beginning of the 1990's.. When USSR collapsed. That was the undisputed time to invade and "cleanup", not 12 years later...
And FYI, the reason was not that he could commit mass murder in his own country, the reason was that he would attack someone else, witch is a lie.
So yeah he had them, 12 years before, but he had them NOT when US decided to attack.
It's like saying, that the whole world should wipe US off the face of the earth just because of the killing of native americans and slavery...
I bet like our brains a whole lot of it is doing nothing else then interpreting feelings. I bet elephants have more than twice the amount of sensors than your average human.
The person asking the original question seems to have the problem that you are stating
it's probably fair to say the more mature applicants will get a more sympathetic hearing from me than they might from most other interviewers for IT roles
Hm... What will happen to Mac OS when they use up all the wild cat names? Will it be Mac OS X 10.* Mixed Breed Domesticated Regular Cat a.k.a Mac OS X 10.* Cat:)
It's not aimed at you, who is not planning new purchase. But at people that ARE planning to purchase new machines.
When I bought my last system, my swing vote was overall energy efficiency - AMD beats Intel, with a big baseball bat in that area.
Actually, AMD CPUs already are competitive on performance/price with Intel's CPUs. Do you know how much those Core 2 Duos cost compared to AMD Athlons?

People are evil or good.
People are greedy en masse.
Same goes for ALCOHOL.
Women even get permanent damage faster then men. And that is ALL women that do too much alcohol.

All rational people want is regulation over criminalization.
So you don't support decriminalization of drugs?

Since when is a taxpayer on either side of the law?

Well to be fair, when IBM gets enough admins and consultants in, the solutions tend to work quite well.

human works in government.
But in that case the person is subject to public scrutiny and applicable laws...

Politics and facts are incompatible. :)
How many felons do you elect as senators?
Almost one during the last 1 year
Then YOU are fired! Surely you are reading this on company time :)
