For small scale performances, you need to deal with owners/managers who feel that by giving you the privilege to play, they are doing you a favour, sometimes CHARGING YOU to play at THEIR venue.
Do you know why small venue owners get away with it? Because everyone wants to be a rock star and they'll do anything to achieve that status.
If everyone wants to be a rock star and they only let you play that night, aren't they doing you a favor?
Negotiations happen in 'back rooms' all the time. The point is we know these negotiations are going on with Unions, with these companies we don't.
I'd be fine if the companies publicly stated : "We are working together to make sure we as corporations pay as little to employees as possible by talking about your pay behind closed doors and promising each other not to hire from each other"
Then I'd at least be informed and be able to make my decision on who I'd want to work with. Just like I can decide not to work for a company that has a union.
Much like Jets, Quantum Mechanics are very interesting when up close and personal.
Seeing a Jet fly by 100 feet above your head will make me star slack-jawed into the sky, and think man that is big and flying... weird.
I do have a full understanding of the science behind flight and some of the science behind Quantum Mechanics (saying a full understanding would be lying, it's still freaky to think about)
Seeing this up close and personal is neat, that's all.
So what they've done is taken a ground glass surface and put it really close to the object, so that the "scattering lens" subtends close to 2pi steradians. Then they use a spatial light modulator...
One could even say they were agnostic and leaning towards no god or gods and no souls, but to be honest they'd have to admit they can't prove those don't exist.
With that logic you'd have to believe in absolutely everything. Ghosts, Vampires, Aliens, FSM, Unicorns, goblins, drangons, orcs, elves (short and tall), Fraggles, Transformers, ninja turtles, Voltron, Zerg, absolutely anything that anyone could dream of.
Because you can't prove anything doesn't exist, all you can prove is you haven't seen them yet.
Atheism is a faith, it's a faith in things we can prove to exist, God and the above don't fall into this category.

I know don't feed the trolls, but this is just lazy.
What about the top comment? Titled "Serves Obama right..."
For 99% of people the subjective answer will be 'no', but the objective answer will be 'yes'.
Guess which one will win?

Fauxbo: Jiro is a terrorist
Jiro: No I'm not
Fauxbo: Aha! exactly what a terrorist would say. Off to Gitmo.

I don't know what the margin is on virtual tractors, but I assume it's the metric buttloads.
But don't stand to close in line

Ooooh yeah... that makes sense now.
I've invented a car that runs on water, but that water needs to come from the taps in PA.
There are a few smaller ISP's that don't gouge (until they are forced to by the CRTC)
I went with TekSavvy after Rogers raised prices (again). $36.95/month 10mbps down, 512 up, and a very reasonable (for now) 300gb cap.
See what's available in your area, and support them.

.... If Assange had been found by U.S. agents instead of U.K. agents...
Uhhh... Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he walk into a police station?
Assange: I'd like to turn myself in to clear my name.
UK Agent: THERE HE IS!!!!
Humm... Kinky! Just hope the receiving lawyer is female!
Probably her name is Sue.
Apologies if this is a dumb question because I don't know anything about it.
Could this be done in reverse in a zero gravity environment to push someone/thing down to the floor?
The idea of course would be to create artificial 'gravity'.

That hurts my profits.

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of psychology myself
What do you even know about psychology? Not much, I bet.
Easy for the ignorant to spout off opinions on things they know little about.
You mean like your knowledge of his knowledge?
