The point is that an employer is bound by law to pay you for your notice period. You are obligated to work for that period unless your employer releases you from that obligation (but they still have to pay your notice period). This is the protection part.
This is not true. Where are you getting this from? My last employer used to walk anyone out who left for a competitor and pay the notice period, then they almost went out of business and only started paying through the end of the day. I can't find anything that states they are required to pay you when you're not working anymore.
I'm still young and I was never under the illusion that work was some higher calling. I've always known it has been about getting by. Truth be told, the few who push the idea that the company is like a family and it shouldn't be about the money have always been older folks. Usually HR and management, of course.
Maybe, maybe not. I don't necessarily think it's cut and dry like that but that's beside the point. I was responding to the AC stating that no matter which way the contract went, it would be unethical to sell stock.
He is allowed to sell stocks. They're part of his compensation and useless until liquidated. Selling prior to any announcement of a contract or new revenues that would have kept them in the black actually means that he was choosing to make less money. In this scenario, it's only insider trading if he knew the stock would go down, not expect them to go, up after he sold.
Out of curiosity, your cable company doesn't have OnDemand? I was this close to cutting the cord but more and more shows are OnDemand now so I've kept it around. I still torrent but I don't have to as much when I can stream through the cable box whenever I want.
Don't buy a hybrid that is $5k-$10k more than a comparable car. This is the hyperbole I alluded to. The Honda hybrids are all less than $2k more than the same non-hybrid versions. And if cost is such a factor, why is the higher cost of diesel not counted?
I have to agree. Whenever I hear anyone talk about VW, it's always in the context of how superior it is. Most often, it's the old diesel vs hybrid argument, as in "Why would you pay a bajillion dollars for a hybrid when you can get better mileage for $20k with a VW diesel?!?!?! Top Gear, rabblerabblerabble!"
TSMC has had issues keeping up with existing orders from Qualcomm and Nvidia. Samsung is the only one currently with the advanced process technology and capacity that Apple needs.
I post videos of actual events that take place around the world to help people understand what really is happening so they don't live in a fantasy, but fall into reality. This approach helped to prevent countless disasters and made our streets and neighborhoods safer. It also made it safer for people who do all they can to hurt me or the site.
Take the 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick video which had you contact me - members of Best Gore identified the perpetrator 4 days before the discovery of the torso in Montreal and the foot in Ottawa. Had the police not ignored the reports made at the time, they would have likely caught the perpetrator red-handed, while still in the apartment.
Due to a mishap outside of Best Gore's control, the report was dismissed as not credible and perpetrator not checked up on, allowing him to carry through with his deed of mailing the body parts off and disappearing without a trace, but it changes nothing on the fact that because the video was made public, Best Gore community was able to identify the perpetrator and report it, which if not dismissed by the police, would have likely taken the perp off the street. But as it goes - no good deed goes unpunished.
Agreed. I don't know where telchine is getting the idea that private won't hire ex-military. The semiconductor equipment companies I've worked for absolutely love hiring ex-military. Almost everyone I work with has been in some branch. Of course, very few of those people have proper engineering jobs, they're technicians and management. Given roughly equal qualifications, ex-mil gets the job every time.
If it's the user agent string and not the updated browser functionality that breaks the "business app" then why bother to use the user agent string at all? The companies I've worked for have always stuck with the oldest version of IE they can get away with and if you managed to somehow get admin rights and update IE, the app will load but not work. User agent strings should not matter in a professional, managed software environment so I fail to see how a new string in a new browser that corporate isn't going to deploy anyway will break anything.
I've seen this on a business trip to France years ago. Sounds like a Field Service Engineer job or some such equivalent. Yes, there are labor laws, but in the Semiconductor Capital Equipment industry you do the work, whatever the hours. I was there for a month installing a new system with assistance from the French Field Service team assigned to maintain all the other tools for that particular customer. Our main point of contact was in before us and out after (and installation days are generally 10+ hours/day to meet deadlines that don't account for customer holdups), his boss would yell at him that he was going over hours and then yell at him that things needed to get done and he can't take time off, work the weekend if necessary. He could try reporting this but he'd likely just lose his job. He admitted most jobs in France are far less work but this certainly does not apply to all.
Not only was he broadcasting pirate radio but he did it in the commerical frequency range, more likely to interfere with a licensed operator (who wants that ad money) and get the FCC called to investigate.
You're not going to hear a difference between high bitrate vbr and flac, no one said you were supposed to. The point is that if you want to archive something, you get as perfect a copy as possible and use that as the source to make more heavily compressed/portable copies without having to constant go back to the slowly deteriorating physical media.
So you can create an alternate URL, so what? I don't see how these proxies can be used to send spam. If someone creates a URL with these proxies, how is that any different than using something like bit.ly? Does SpamHaus blacklist all URL shorteners too? I thought the purpose was to only blacklist any domains actually sending spam emails, not necessarily any and all domains contained within those emails. What if one has a link to CNN or something else that is supposed to prove the efficacy of a given product, would CNN also be blacklisted by SpamHaus?
It's a lot easier to use one account and the filter controls that have been there for years. I have certain friends who are otherwise cool but can get very sensitive about certain types of jokes so I might make a post visible to everyone but them. My sister sincerely believes that criticizing me with zero cleverness, wit, or irony is a valid form of humor and that everyone else gets it so I hide certain things from her too. Only takes a couple seconds and no one knows anything is being hidden.
Someone remind, what's wrong with employing all the desperately unemployed STEM citizens with advanced degrees already in the US? There are plenty of STEM grads with masters and phds who are willing to settle for low wages just to get a foot in the door and have some experience to put on a resume. If the people who are born here are really so bad, why not just move all those companies (or at least STEM operations) to someplace "preferable" and take cost of living out of the equation entirely?

Move that last comma to the right by one word...

Sorry but Mexico patterned their system of capitalist democracy off of ours (USA). Corruption is rampant.
