Let me guess, you're the same type of person that judges the US's poverty level at anyone getting (approx) $17,000 usd/year. If you think you can comfortably support a family on that kind of income in the US, you've got to be insane. This is what the unions fight against, they let people come together to make their lives better. Read your history a bit, understand what it was like in the industrial era without unions. Workman's Compensation was a joke, if you got sick, you could loose your, job and in some cases, your home, due to the fact that a lot of factory workers' homes were owned by the company's they worked for.
What gives you the idea that they are run by "thugs"? Unions give you a chance to be able to ask for a raise and not just get fired for the sole reason that you asked for one. They allow you to have a say in what your contract will be, if a majority of the workers don't like it, it's out. What does ego have to do with this? An elected board representing the union will allow the union to stay (for the most part) without corruption. The members of the union can just vote out the people they think are ripping them off.

Americium-242m has a half life of approx 141 years while Americium-242 has a half life of about 16.02 hours. A bit of a difference, eh? I think that after 16 hours a "thin metalic film" that has half of it's matter decay away would probally not be that useful. I'm pretty sure they meant 242m.
nope, it isn't, the way the classic.app is set up, it just lets you kind of see through to the mac os x desktop and there are currently some problems with this, such as when you drag a window, there is a weird frame around it if you move it over one of the windows in classic.app. I'm posting this from msie 5.0b30 running in classic.app, and I can assure you it looks the same:)

I do happen to know what I'm talking about here, I just can't talk about it. Just wait and see.
Unlike the client, the new Mac OS X Server is not based on darwin. I've had a copy of a beta of it for about 2 months now.
Americium-242m has a half life of approx 141 years while Americium-242 has a half life of about 16.02 hours. A bit of a difference, eh? I think that after 16 hours a "thin metalic film" that has half of it's matter decay away would probally not be that useful. I'm pretty sure they meant 242m.
So far (according to the bung$oft developers) they are releasing halo for the mac. So halo will be on platforms other then the X-box.
But all the chlid's frends will also have their age at 25 :D
