  1. Re: Why isn't this illegal again? on Disney Making Laid-Off US Tech Workers Train Foreign H1-B Replacements · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem is that the government is influencing the market by allowing companies to pay these people less by virtue of their immigration status. A H1-B is sponsored by a particular company. They can't just quit and go find a better paying position when they are abused/under paid/etc.

  2. Re:I feel safer already :) on Making an AR-15 In the Wired San Francisco Office · · Score: 1

    Just stay away from Gun Free Zones and you'll be fine.

    It's "deadly" too!

  5. Re:Stucturing on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He isn't being charged with Statutory rape. Bringing that into the discussion just clouds the issue, which is that he went to HIS bank, and withdrew HIS money and somehow the Government think it's their business.

  6. Re:Why? on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So...no reason to reform them now because...Hastert!?

    Will you feel sympathy for the next small business owner who gets caught up in this "structuring" bullshit?

    Isn't this kind of like the First Officer on the Titanic winning an argument with a passenger over a deck chair.

    But they did manage to grope 8 out of 10 Grandmas and 5 out of 10 toddlers.

  10. Excuse me while I hijack this comment.

    You should QUIT while you can. Start you own business while you are able to live with your parents, sleep in a car, eat beans and rice, etc.

    If you wait until you have a spouse and kids, you are locked in. Your options become limited.

    Also, LISTEN when you are told to start a retirement account NOW. Don't wait even a month.

    If you are not the entrepreneurial type then get your attitude adjusted. You are part of a team and not just some cog. It's easy to think that but you'd be surprised at what happens when you stop thinking that and act like a team member. People start coming to you, relying on you, and you start getting promoted. Don't sit in your cubical and bitch and moan. If your environment that precludes that, then find another environment. You've already decided that you are not going to work for yourself so find the best people to work for.

    Sounds like it's pretty much a transponder in an airplane.

    I wonder why they are even logging this information?

  13. Re:faster than light never violates Relativity on Ways To Travel Faster Than Light Without Violating Relativity · · Score: 1

    What it really forbids is the transfer of information or objects through space at a speed greater than that of light in a vacuum.

    What was the point of all this? Did anyone ever express an interest in FTL that did not include information or objects?

    I want the last 5 minutes back please.

  17. Re: Alternate story title on Creationists Manipulating Search Results · · Score: 0

    I would think that if you are searching for a Science article then you would stick to reputable journals and not some publication aimed at the general public.

    Science "Journalists" usually have no science education and just parrot back what they learn during their research...if you are lucky. If you are not, then they will conform it to their political agendas and include ridiculous statements that would elicit a great big WTF? from most scientists.

  19. Re:Deal With it. on British Politicians Delete Negative Wikipedia Descriptions Before Election · · Score: 1

    "Exposing".

    What's to expose? People did what people do in Wikipedia all day long.

    People are acting as if this is a big deal and somehow improper. It's just as proper as people putting information in that may be inaccurate or biased.

    Wikipedia is a poorly controlled free for all and no one should be surprised or upset when stuff like this happens.

    It's a great big So What?
