  1. Re:Won't do any good where I work on Corporations Hiring Hooky Hunters · · Score: 1

    Not really. Sick days means you still have a job and thus have insurance. If you don't have to worry about sick days you probably won't be around too long to worry about not having a job or insurance.

    Also when you're spending all your time working you tend to rely on packaged food. Self-prepared food is better and cheaper but takes time a lot of people don't have. So once again you're spending more for less.

    It's so relaxing not being able to take vacation because you want to be able to maintain a reasonable number of sick days. I don't know what I did back when we had sick days and I actually had to use vacation time for *gasp* vacation time.

    I believe the East Coast calls them snowmegeddons now.

    The Midwest has been slow to adopt this though.

    If you consented to having sex on the condition that a condom is used and a condom is not used you did not consent to the condomless sex.

    The logical thing would be biological weapons.

    No practical, effective, immediate screening method and the weapon can replicate itself.

    The problem is the big booms still get all the press.

    And rationally nudity is not the same as pornography.

  8. Re:Music Industry on Apple Impasse With Magazines Over Subscriber Data · · Score: 1

    You did say Apple wanted lock in so I assumed you were okay with putting words in other people's mouths.

    Being forced to have DRM is very different from wanting DRM.

    Can you tell the one about how little Amazon forced the mean ol' Apple to stop using DRM? I like that fairy tale.

    Diplomats are just spies working in the open, we know they're spies because we hired them and they know they're spies because they are diplomats. They feed them information or disinformation as they want and we do the same to their diplomats and the game continues on.

    They aren't cracking safes and swallowing microfilm filled pills but their job is to gather and pass along information.

    The second amendment allows one to have a firearm. Murdering someone with that firearm is illegal. Are laws on murders with a firearm unconstitutional because they put a limit on the second amendment?

    Rights go hand in hand with responsibilities. Rights without responsibility is nothing more than anarchy.

    How dare they make a business decision. They should be forced to do what we want. This is a free country after all.

    "Out of 126 credits that I'm required to take"

    There's your problem. Try some electives. Or talk to a professor about an independent study program if you think you're too cool for school.

    If all you're getting is a diploma and not schooling that you need perhaps you should take courses more advanced than the into course.

    It's college. You pick your classes. You also pick your college. So if your education doesn't seem worth it perhaps the school isn't the problem.

    Given the timing, he'd have been nuts not to go on some sort of a crime spree. Just say "The Man" is trying to frame you and everyone on the internet will believe you. All in all, he squandered his chance to get away with murder.

    We know his name. If he really was about the info and not the hype no one would have a clue who Julian Assange is.

    China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico, and Columbia don't make you a rockstar.

    If you wanna be a rockstar you have to use the US.

    The others will probably make you briefly famous and then dead or perhaps the other way around.
