I already did idiot, you obviously never have even had a paper-route, let alone run a business in any way.
I treat my 4 employees with respect and I get superior results. Now I prefer to play a lot so I only operate my business part time/seasonal, so the off time I have a job. This job is with a company that also is not ran by idiot duche bags like yourself. Guess what... we slaughter the competition. In the past 4 years, 10 out of 14 competitors all went out of business and bankrupt. We are still here. We are also told that we can tell a customer to fuck themselves. Yes that is right, I can look a customer in his face and say "Fuck you" if the customer is treating us in any manner that is abusive. WE are told to walk off a job site if a customer even raises his voice at us. Because the contract the customer signed says that "abuse of our employees is not tolerated" and they have to sign a line specifically about this. These kinds of companies are rare as hell and are only found in medium business and small business sizes. (we have only 1000 employees)
You on the other hand are such a scumbag you probably would encourage the abuse of any imaginary employee you might have. Your minions in WoW are not employees BTW....
So in closing, I know a shitload more about business and employees than you do. I'm betting I know more about EVERYTHING than you do. But then a Salad bar has been know to outwit you in a argument so that's not that much of an achievement to brag about.
P.S. I have ran my personal business for 4 years now, that's about 4 years more than you have... 2 of my employees are still here from the beginning, returning each year simply because the job is fun and I treat them well.
"It's not the employer's fault. It's the conditions and attitudes in US society."
Yup, fuck the employee is in full force here in the USA.... It's why I cant believe any person trusts their company or their boss. You dont trust them, ever. Because when it comes down to it, they will fry you to save themselves.
and yes it IS the employers fault, they could be honest and educated instead of choosing to be faceless scumbags. I really hate it, but honestly we need strict laws to force companies to act in a civil manner.
the new credit card terminals will have a 30 pin connector, you dock your phone and make your transaction. worries about vandalism of the 30 pin connector on vending machines are dismissed by Steve jobs, "that connector is indestructible! we have never had a failure of one!"
But you don't spend $50. You spend that plus another $12 to $19 for each other part of the game afterwards for "DLC" that is actually part of the game to begin with.
I would stop all tormenting of tv shows if hulu plus had everything I wanted. They do not carry 90% of the BBC shows and many lesser networks AND give me a commercial free option.
":Considering the limitations of Electronic Books; can't give them to friends or family to read, can't resell them, can't return them, can have them pulled without notice, the price is way too high."
Price too high, agree. when a technical book is $59.95 in paperback and the E version is $56.99... they are on drugs.
But the affordables? no problem. I can lend ebooks, you cant resell, that is correct. you cant return them, but most book stores also have that now. Pulled without notice... Only kindle, and my way around that is to crack the DRM. So that is what I do. I crack the drm and convert to epub. you cant pull what you dont have control over.
I can go to Tiffany& Co and buy some nice crystal glassware for $600.00..
Or I can find a local glass artist and buy some glassware direct from the artist for $350.00
I paid a LOT less and got a far better product, in fact I got 4 extra glasses just in case some get broken at that price. How? by not paying a bunch of useless people that did nothing at all in the creation of the product.
Ebooks allow me to buy a book direct from the artist or with as little middlemen taking a cut as possible. Etsy is also doing this for tangible goods as well.
I am loving this revolution, it's cutting the dead weight from society.
Exactly. I know a writer. her books sell for $19.95 on the bookshelf.
She get's $0.50 a book sold. ALL THE REST goes to the middle men. She recently stopped writing dead tree books and started ebooks only after her contract ran out. She sells 1/4 the books now but makes 5X the profit per book, I sent her this article and she is considering testing the waters at the $0.99 price point on amazon.com when her next book comes out, lower the price of the previous ones. even at that price point she will be making close to what her dead tree publisher was giving her.
Who will lose is publishers, the middlemen that do nothing at all for content of the book. and honestly, every writer will say "good riddance"
Wow everyone must have played it different. I found mages useless and utterly destroyed them easily with the rogues. Wynne was strongest of all the mages in the game but even she dies too easy in combat Morrigan does better when you equip her in lots of armor, mages robes = I'm dead in the game.. I preferred the meat grinder with high level runes on killer weapons. I had the one dwarf set up with a warhammer that would kill most with a single hit. Darkspawn were nothing more than goodie bags to trade for gold.
I agree. Mass Effect I was a LOT BETTER and delivered far more wide range of modifications and weapons... MEII came out and dumbed it down drastically. The worlds were far more limited, interaction is more limited... it's more of a "go here do this good boy!" I am afraid they ruined Dragon Age with numbing down of the whole system like they did for Mass Effect.
If you really want to mess with ATC, you can do it far easier than a $30.00 short range jammer.
Go to hobby shop, buy a few large model rockets. build them.
Go to grocery store, buy a roll of aluminum foil.
feed aluminum foil into a crosscut paper shredder to create "chaff". (I can tell you how to do this successfully, but wont to keep the complete idiots from trying it.)
Load the chaff into the ejection chute tube for the model rockets. (again, there is more to this, but idiots will never figure this step out as well.)
Launch. laugh with your buddies and get ready to enjoy your time being anally raped by big bad bubba in a federal prison.
This will screw with ATC in a big BIG way. they will find you, they will taze you about 900 times on the way to the jail, then they will taze you just for fun, and the judge will taze you out of spite in the courtroom, your lawyer will also probably taze you as well, before you go to a big bad prison.
Then my next missile will be a 100KiloTon yield. Jam away at 1000 watts, I'll be close enough to vaporize you.
Remember the answer to a technical foe is by being crude. They have a lot of tech to make your missile miss the target, make the missile big enough to include the target even at the widest miss.
There is no such thing as 100% reflective. and if you do achieve that, dirt will accumulate and transfer heat via conduction. Any person in a suit standing on the surface of mercury that is in the light will cook lie they were in a rotisserie even wrapped in 100% effective mirrors. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270F to 800F (-168C to 427C) and it's day is insanely long, the poles do not matter. you need to be in a deep crater out of the sunlight. Here's another problem, the sun takes up much of the sky, it's not that tiny bright disk in the sky like we have here, you have a giant bright as hell 50% of the sky ball of fire. you are also within the sun's magnetosphere so good luck with electronics. How do you design solar panels that can not fry in that environment? Actually you do it differently, large black panels with thermocouples. use the temperature difference between light and dark.
Mariner 10 was designed for the high heat by giving it a high temperature heat shield to shadow the craft from the sun, it also had very hardened electronics and still had problems. The on-board computer experienced unscheduled resets occasionally, they had to reconfigure the thing several times to salvage the spacecraft. The attitude control systems also flaked out and used up a bulk of the fuel on-board. Operating that close to a star is highly difficult and dangerous even for robotic missions.
I agree, we should continue to spend money looking for bin-laden and bringing peace and harmony to the rest of the middle east.
You complain about NASA spending? Spending that goes DIRECTLY into the USA coffers via domestic construction and purchasing.. they are not buying rockets on ebay from china sellers...
the inequality is so huge that it's utterly disgusting when I hear even 1 of them whine about taxes. we can DOUBLE their taxes and they will not notice.

No it's not the same. I had a nokia in 2004 that did this and you could see the balance, the transaction amount, and control if it was on or not.
Nokia had several phones that did this. some massively old.
I had a Nokia 3220 years ago when I was in europe and used it to pay for bus fare in germany.
Nice to see apple and the others pulling a microsoft and trying to make an innovation something that is old tech.
Actually it seems that it's a requirement nowdays.
Want to be a senator? IQ below 72? check, welcome congressman!
made my friends stupid.... have you watched "jersey shore"? two of my friends have lost 60 points of IQ in the last 3 months to that tv show.
But you don't spend $50. You spend that plus another $12 to $19 for each other part of the game afterwards for "DLC" that is actually part of the game to begin with.

Theyare looking for specific words and phrases...
Bomb, president, freedom, take back control, uprising, constitutional....
You know, only words that the evil terrorists would use.
The spoiled and lazy career track is the Political Science major.

Correct ink colors to print on the money as it's dispensed DUH!
Plus let's forget that if you are close enough to jam it, then even a ballistic trajectory will bring it in close enough to the target on it's own.
They jammed us!
Jam? What type?
Razzberry!
Only one man dares to give me the razzberry........ LoneSTAR!
Then my next missile will be a 100KiloTon yield. Jam away at 1000 watts, I'll be close enough to vaporize you.

the inequality is so huge that it's utterly disgusting when I hear even 1 of them whine about taxes. we can DOUBLE their taxes and they will not notice.
Software programmers can design hardware worth shit. So I guess we are even.
Plus BIOS is written in a secret programming language called assembler. Something that it seems that most programmers can't do anymore.
My computer does not need Electronic Fuel Injection. Last thing I need is my computer to use gas.
Damn oil companies screwing with computers now!
