Properly-run unions won't arbitrarily require wages, costing half their workers their jobs. They will work with the corporations to ensure that both their members' wages and jobs remain intact. Where they become beneficial is when corporations get workers "over a barrel" and use low wages to reap high profits. The union's purpose is not to destroy their own financial viability, but rather to attempt to reign in corporate profiteering.
Excellent post, and I might add that "will just make stuff run slow" is referring to the wireless link's potential throughput per host being lessened due to the fact two hosts are generating traffic on a given channel.
It does require additional resources on the spoofing (and spoofed) PC, but that won't be the bottleneck 99.x% of the time.

That's why they invented the Porn Swap. It's where you and your friends (and whoever else has porn) get together and trade porn. Because if amputee dwarf porn isn't for you, it'll sure make some guy happy, and he probably has a Girls Gone Wild tape you haven't seen.
Old porn is new porn to new eyes. Sending it to MS is a waste!
Although injecting a few frames into a seemingly-fitting video (a la Fight Club) would work!

Now if you want to talk about a Honda Civic vs. a Honda Civic Hybrid, then I'm game.
Nothing else going on, so I compared the two cars. For a comparable model it's about $4,000 more for the hybrid. 48mpg vs 34mpg (there's a range, but those are the figures I'll use). @12,000 mi/yr, that figures out to 250gals for the hybrid vs. 353gals for the standard model. $200 saved per year means 20 years to recoup your investment. Assuming that inflation and gas prices cancel each other out.
Hmm... 4,000 + 2*(x/48) = 2*(x/34) Where 2 is the price of gas and x is the number of miles to break even on the cost. 4,000 = (x/17) - (x/24) 4,000 * 17 * 24 = 24x - 17x 1632000 = 7x
x = 233,142 Assuming similar repair costs and the MPG numbers I used. So for a car with no extra bling factor, the Honda Civic Hybrid doesn't seem like too good a deal. But the Prius has different quality to it, and while I wouldn't buy one(it doesn't "fit" me), I otherwise like the one my parents have.
Yeah, but the interior on the Pruis is much nicer than a Civic or a Corolla. It's roomier too. Sure people buy it to make a statement, but the same goes for an Audi.
Maybe if we compared the Prius to a Camry or something with a comparable trim level...
Don't get me wrong, I understand your point. But it's somewhat apples and oranges. Now if you want to talk about a Honda Civic vs. a Honda Civic Hybrid, then I'm game.
Friend's dad bought a Corolla in '78. in '99 he sold/got rid of it with 350,000 miles. Only problem at that time was rust in the gas tank. He kept up with maintenance but never had ANY problems beyond that.
So, yeah. Toyotas are built to last. Lexuses too, and perhaps even more so--Consumer Reports seems to think so. The difference is that I have a factory amplifier, power sunroof, and a leather and wood interior. And a fancy shmancy brand name.:^p
After 200,000 miles, I'm due for a new car. It'll be a Toyota/Scion/Lexus. My pocketbook can't afford anything else.
Of course, the more luxuries you have on your car, the more features it has, the more things can go wrong.
Props, but the Prius is under high demand, and many are waiting to purchase it at MSRP. If you want that specific car, and there's a waiting list at MSRP, don't expect to get it at 5% over dealer price.
Considering the notorious reliability of Lexuses (mine has 198,000+ miles and although I've replaced many ancillary parts [brake parts, power steering pump, starter, cv joint, little things]), I'd say that they're well-priced. You want overpriced and underperforming? Buy a Mercedes.
In Colorado, if you put that 6 or 7 years of job experience on your resume, but do not use your crazy boss as a reference (which sounds like it's going to happen anyway), you've got nothing to worry about. Past employers cannot legally give any information beyond "This person worked here from xx to xx". They can't even say if you were fired or not (I'm only 70% sure of this part). So, sure, it'll be on the resume, and the company might even get called up, but there's no reason to think that burning a bridge is going to bite him in the ass unless he needs the reference.
I teach a class on Web Development and part of the class involves installing Firefox. At the end of the class they get a CD that contains, among other things, Firefox. And I strongly urge them to install it and test their pages on it. They never have to go to mozilla.org or elsewhere to download the software, so they wouldn't be reflected in these stats.
I have personally downloaded Firefox about 15 times or so, new versions and different computers and all, so I think that it probably balances out to about 50 million people who have Firefox installed on their computers in the end.
However, the number of people who use it as their primary browser, I couldn't begin to guess.
Brilliant! As an added bonus, the stereo charges the faceplace/MP3 player when it's attached. My stereo in my current car is a detachable MP3 CD player with minijack in -- perhaps they could even work some magic so that that input switches to a headphone output when it's in standalone mode.
Sony, for all it's "style", has been showing it's lack of cluefullness in more ways than one. PSPs don't play standard discs, and more than half the PSPs have bad pixel or other quality control issues. Exchanging your PSP under warranty gets you another PSP... With bad pixels.

You can't just sit around and wait for interesting traffic. You have to make your own traffic.

I also like how the kids have to run after the snake, because as soon as it hits the ground it just books.
Listen, if we didn't give you useless links, what would you spend your day reading?
Seriously though, how about linking to a less-annoying version of Quicktime?
That's awesome! That snake really looks good, until this jump. Oops?

Next?
Hmm...
4,000 + 2*(x/48) = 2*(x/34)
Where 2 is the price of gas and x is the number of miles to break even on the cost.
4,000 = (x/17) - (x/24)
4,000 * 17 * 24 = 24x - 17x
1632000 = 7x
x = 233,142
Assuming similar repair costs and the MPG numbers I used.

The interior of a Prius is very pretty. Notwithstanding that the rear view mirror blocks my line of sight (6'1", parents' car).
Don't forget, though, that you get a tax deduction!
Props, but the Prius is under high demand, and many are waiting to purchase it at MSRP. If you want that specific car, and there's a waiting list at MSRP, don't expect to get it at 5% over dealer price.
That said, props!!! What do you get for MPG?

Of course, YMMV.
I look forward to hearing about what actually happened!

A third word: FrontPage.
Wait, what were we talking about?
I think I have the exact same deck. Does it not pause MP3 CDs, and FF/RW suckily? I just use the pre-outs to my amps, and it works beautifully.
but I'm not in the market for a BMW or a GM.
