  1. Re:hopefully it won't get _too_ much coverage on TIE-Tanic Movie · · Score: 1

    A strict parody wouldn't be a problem, but this contains copyrighted movie footage.

  2. Hitmen on Techies vs. Laywers & Judges · · Score: 3

    Hitmen are professionals who provide a service. They have to represent their clients in their clients best interests. They might not be the best for society, but so be it. Hitmen generally are not in a position to take the higher ground. Most of the remarks hurled at Hitmen should truly be redirected at the parties that they represent, because in reality they are calling the shots.

  3. Legal obsolesence on Techies vs. Laywers & Judges · · Score: 1

    I think there needs to be some kinda of built-in obsolensence to the legal system. Some form of constant renewal. An expiration date, for example. There are many old laws that don't apply today and/or are not enforced (for example any sex other than the "missionary position" is illegal in some areas, but obviously not enforced), but it takes too much effort to remove these laws. If laws expired after say, 25 years or so, we could clear the laws books of unwanted laws. Or if the law the just needs a slight change in terminology or a clearification, that could be done easily when it came up for renewal. I think this would grealy help reduce the ever growing laws and regulations.

  4. Re:Does this mean... on OSHA Trying to "Protect" Telecommuters · · Score: 1

    So, in other words, you agree with the original point that employers are obligated to do inspections. They aren't required, but are held legally responsible for any unsafe conditions.
