This mythical time of when people could support a family on one paycheck seems to stem from the high pressure idealistic 1950s'ish sales man that was publicized big time at the time. The only reason it now "requires" two incomes is because the standard of living has improved by that much. My mother grew up with dirt floors and an outhouse in the 1950s I'm pretty sure I could afford that standard of living working at McDonald's. I just might not have a flat screen TV and a DVD player.
I just hope that, while you are sitting their on that beach getting drinks served to you and staying in a nice hotel room, you are thanking the people that are in that rat race insuring that the drinks are made and the hotel is there and the beaches are at least somewhat clean.
I for one am very glad that not everyone thinks the way you do. It would change from having the opportunity to sit on a beach and watch a sunset to the fact that we have to work just to eat rather quickly.
I like it because of all the other keys around wsad. If I were just moving up down left right then sure arrow keys are great but it is nice to have e and q for strafing fast access to the number row for weapon changes etc...
I think that the people dieing is really just hyperbole for the elderly who live in pain due to unable to purchase the required pain medication. A bad situation none the less. I'm sure that there are some heart medications, blood pressure medications, and diabetic issues that are also difficult to get paid for. You are right we seem to be pretty good at the initial taking care of someone, because as someone who got stuck with a pretty sever bone infection for almost 4 years because I was a starving college student with no insurance, the initial taking care of me was fine. It was the complications and the on going care that sucked.
If you are not willing to do what it takes to get a job then you are homeless by choice. This can be as simple as just keeping enough discipline to show up dayly to sucking it up and working for someone. To actually moving to another location where you may be able to afford to live.
If you are unable to do anything then there are plenty of programs to make sure you have food and a roof. Unfortunately the two above get mixed together and the people who actually need help miss out because of the masses that just want a free ride.
While many don't like to think so, employment is a two way relationship. If the employer wishes to keep me doing work they have to allow a small amount of slack time. I actually have 3 jobs lined up right now and get calls daily with more possible offers. I've found that the market in my area is so good it is really my decision on where I work not the employers.
Sure they always like to say I'm paying you to do something. when actually I'm doing something to get paid. It is my choice not theirs.
My suggestin for everyone that is only mildly happy or unhappy with there current job, go to monster, dice, etc and post your resume go through the interview process get an offer then see how you feel about staying with your job. In fact do it anyway. A few times. I started doing it about 2 years ago every 6 months and not only do I have an awesome job now I also doubled my pay in the first 4 months of doing it. Yes it is that easy.
I must say good luckin finding that person. Right now the job market is so good you'd have to pay incredibly well to find a person to replace an average productive employee.
The problem being that if one person is sitting on their ass while everyone else is picking up the slack it turns into a targeted attack if you just start monitoring that one person.
I am fine with that but of course lawyers seem to be able to play all kinds of games with that if the person is a minority or a female etc...
From the hard working employee looking up it looks like a stupid and ridiculous decision. From the manager looking down it looks like a stupid and ridiculous process to avoid other stupider, ridiculouser and expensive processes
I happen to live in one of the US biggest 5 cities and yes there are two types of homeless people, those who are mentally incapable and those that just choose to be homeless. There is always people with signs and nasty clothes but a $600 bike.
A friend of mine ran a land scapeing business and tried to hire someone for $8hr and lunch and dinner to give him a hand for the day. The person said screw you I make $50 an hour standing on this corner.
Similar to saying poor or hungrey in America. We don't really have either, but because the norm in America has gotten to a point where most "actual poor" would feel like kings.
Sorry having to wear generic clothes instead of name brand, doesn't make you poor. Going without food for the 3rd day in a row in order to insure your child has a scrap of bread is poor. That doesn't happen in America unless it is by choice.
So giving them new equipment to help them get the job doen is not helping them get better equipment? Being that they are the best equiped army in the world I'd say we're just fine.
I may be out of touch with Fedora but my unbuntu system has a little drop down where I can chose the resolution from and it switches automaticly and asks if everything looks alright. Redhat really is going down the tubes quickly. Hopefully Suse and Unbuntu and fill the gap.
Everytime I log on to slashdot there is always something. This time "Critical leak in IIS" no wonder nobody ever reads the articles or even the blurbs.
My god slasdot is nothing more than an MS bashing site these days.
yea, that way I can secretly trade every verifyed vote for my candidet for $10. That could get me an easy million or more votes. That goes much father and is much easier than spending the $10 million elsewhere.
strange that's kinda like saying that slashdot is 50/50 black and female. You can be liberal and libertarian. left/right is what the government should do, libertarian/totalitarian is how much the government should do.

Bored brains and the fact that for many many years now you don't get eaten if you happen to have the disadvantage of moving while sleeping.
It doesn't print metal, it prints a casting mold that you can pore metal directly into.
Didn't you see the white lines appear magically in mid air?

Umm, why would the parent poster get off over two guys being on an island for 5 years?

Umm, that wasn't the only spelling error you had.
Just an FYI.
How about we change the "What if X gets hit by a bus?" Into a more topical "What if X gets arrested and convicted of killing his wife?"
May be more bugs but at least it isn't a 4.5Million line bloated piece of crap.
Size and quality bot reflect the good portion and are really in the same camp. PMI holds three being

and you are suppose to rate them from most important to least important.
Which all boils down to good fast cheap, pick two.

Left/right is what the government should or shouldn't do.
Libertarian/Totalitarian is how much power the government should have to do that.
right leaning and the current right in US politics are two diffrent things.

Fonts, cut & paste, printing. Would be a good start.
