There's nothing stopping workers from unionizing except themselves
There is, and it is the main reason unionizing (at least in IT) was stillborn. Just check my sig.
Otherwise, it would have been there, still be here, alive and kicking, preventing management from exploiting or even thinking of OT without pay. Who knows, if it *did* start, even the gaming indistry would have been protected.
The 'Adult' setting I think would require a different 'exposure' setting, and I might hold off on calling that sort of activity videoconferencing. Well, maybe when the spouse is around...
To the extent that battlefield robots can do a better job of telling the combatants from the non-combatants
"Gentlemen these orders came from Command Central. In view of imminent attacks from these so-called droids, tomorrow has been declared 'Combat Casual Day'. And no, not the things you wore playing America's Army in your basement. Think, trip to the mall, only armed for Black Friday sale at Macy's."
I have a prehistoric Moz sitting on an old distro that I have kept since it picked up my webcam before the next release started ignoring it. Back then it wasn't 'self aware' to phone home and check for updates. Didn't see the point as I was using the distro less and less, but the Moz skin http://themes.mozdev.org/themes/negativemod.html sure is beyond compare, and I've kept it that way since.
Hmmm considering one poster below said to stick to 'browsers of that era' if your RAM is 'of that era', I think I'd get FF 1.0+:) just to make this skin work again (and out of spite).
Personas have been in Firefox before, then discontinued. You'll see a lot of submissions there from those days. I'm glad that it's back, but I am hoping for a utility that could make the earlier personas work in this updated version.
I'm sorry but my G5 came with a cupholder, with the top righthand corner button on the keyboard as a remote. I believe the unwashed prefer to call it the Eject button. To me, that is the height of genius, but the Caps lock makes me think otherwise...
We've long had a person head up a 'coffee club', collecting from the java junkies on the floor every month. Enough money was left to have a group lunch at month-end. AFAICT the coffee machine was there long before, industrial type -- 2 open carafes with an orange one for decaf, you probably saw one in a diner somewhere -- not the 10 or 12 cup coffeemakers you get from Costco.
401K? Long gone from the employer's side, we're waiting for the first anniversary announcement, if they will reinstate their contribution. I feel less of a team player if they did not.
Yup, not just in IT. This was the travel industry. Welcome to the club, gents.
If anyone deserves to be hated, it's Microsoft for making the cheaper netbook-licensing cost of XP contingent upon the netbook having a hardware limit of 2gb max memory, which pretty much fucks anyone who wants to use Linux
Wouldn't the general linux-using masses go for the netbooks with linux anyway despite that 2G limit (there MUST be an upgradeable model somewhere out there)? I mean, the portability and capabilities should amount to something. Or does that limit its usefulness, and that word got around even among the non hardcore types? I know there's plenty of distros that provided leaner versions.
I am inclined to believe that pricing had a lot more to do with it. People either went to laptops for a few more clams or got a good (used) laptop with reasonable specs.
(I knew MS had a hand in it somehow, though, so still hate them. And not because you're from my neck o the woods, judging from your nick:-)
It was because we focused on the negative effects

Those articles that mentioned planes and fire and brimstone falling out of the sky should have focused on the positive e.g. guess what, that hardware you bought late this year? The warranty's going to extend itself another 99 years. Heck bring it in even after 12 months, and we'll stick it to The Man.
(And to the OP the reason the damage was minimal was because we DID have people making sure that there wasn't going to *be any damage.)
Somebody called this 'lazy journalism' where the writer comes up with a list (10 best/10 worst ad infinitum) without having to disclose anything that you didn't already know. They usually pop up at year's end.
After playing through the entire DOOM game, the first one, I did what every other DOOM fan did: I watched some demos of these badasses that completed levels with just their fists, in 'Nightmare!' difficulty.
So I returned to the game, and played it as 'real' as it can get: play it through to the end of a level, and find out how far I could make it in the mission until I die, trying not to recall how the maps went. It had been a while since I had played it, so I had to rely on the TAB key to see where I was. Well I wasn't as good as those demo gods as soon as the number of monsters became overwhelming, but playing it THIS way made it challenging. It added a new dimension without relying on how many lives I can still respawn. It was something to look forward to (continuing further in the level), when I came home from work.
I remember seeing this guy. He was being carried out on a stretcher, bloody and all, and I remember him yelling, KDE4 is NOT Windows 7!! I never saw him since.
Well for web browsers, when I click Browse, you have to click all the way to the file you want. Has there been an add-on for FF that lets you paste/click-paste the path to a file directly? Otherwise it's like dig, dig, dig towards the destination folder, or do you guys use these file managers (Nautilus. Dolphin et al) to surf the web as well because of this feature?

It might rule out whiteboard scribbling, if the conference involved a whiteboard from one participant or host.

No, no, not what you think, more like "Who're we dealing with today"
You know, like Where do you want to go today. Really.
P.S. And not because of the earlier item re MS siding with AT&T vs. Tivo.
Is that a pre-emptive strike against /. duping? He's got to learn to play by the rules that govern /. !

"oh, shit. I didn't pack."
Even more alarming is where I heard it first...on frackin Slashdot!

You type fast. Very fast.

Nope, they all looked forward to the once-a-month lunch they have in a restaurant, buffet-style too.
Oh, don't worry, upon making the reservation, you *ARE given the choice of neutral feed or FOX network.
