Unless you work for a shit company, and depending on state labor laws, you either get all or some chunk of your vacation reimbursed as a lump sum in your final check.
Not really. I've seen people fake it for 6 months or longer. There were two guys at a place I left a year ago that got 2+ years out of a programming job despite gross incompetence and poeple telling their manager repeatedly about this. They only got fired because the company did a big RIF and they got swept up in the bottom 10% clean out.
To add insult to injury, they were contractors who got turned into full-time over people's vociferous objections. The saddest part, though, was that one of the business area managers for the company was actually pissed about one of the knuckleheads being fired and couldn't fathom why it had happened. This is how well they had been able to fake it to higher ups.
And if they were looking for a job, they'd scoff at having to take a week of vacation off and lose out on other potentially better places to interview for.
Exactly. Any good programmer wouldn't need to put up with such crap to get a job. Why do 1 week of unpaid work when you already have 6 other offers already. Pffffffft.
Yeah, it's never the fault of the person training the new hires. It always must be the other people. *rolls eyes* Either this guy is a bad judge of talent and potential or he's a terrible teacher. Either way, he should be laying the blame on himself.
The law will switch U.S. rights to a patent from the present "first-to-invent" system to a "first inventor-to-file" system for patent applications filed on or after March 16, 2013. The law also expands the definition of prior art used in determining patentability. Actions and prior art that bar patentability will include public use, sales, publications, and other disclosures available to the public anywhere in the world as of the filing date, other than publications by the inventor within one year of filing (inventor's "publication-conditioned grace period"), whether or not a third party also files a patent application. The law also notably expands prior art to include foreign offers for sale and public uses.[6]
You current pay like 5 dollars to go from Austin to Georgetown. You'll waste more in gas on the stop and go traffic in downtown Austin than you'll pay in the toll costs.
You're off by a few orders of magnitude. The worldwide death rate from auto accidents is 98 per 100,000 vehicles or 21 fatalities per 100,000 people. In the US those stats are 12.3 and 15. You are grossly exaggerating the danger.
They send you a bill by mail. What is so hard about that? You can even pay it online or by phone once you get it. If you have a tag with another one of the toll systems, they will just bill that. To your second point, the toll is great because it keeps it mostly traffic-free. I'll gladly pay the 5 bucks to save myself more than that in wasted gas from the congested roads through Austin.
That's actually false. TxTag roads have tollbooths you can pull off to pay at if you wanted especially upon exiting. Same with Houston's EZ Tag system. Where did you get this bunk from?
130 is its own new road and is quite well built, too. It's a breeze to go to Georgetown and costs around 5 bucks to not waste at least that much in gas sitting in 35 traffic through town.
Almost Everyone already goes that fast if not faster anyway. And the whole tollroad is 90 miles. This is just a southward expansion of the existing road.

Contracts can and are invalidated due to unenforceable clauses. They can even get you arrested such as a contract to murder someone.
Because we all know companies routinely go around telling people they have been compromised and data stolen when it's all a lie. Uhhh, what?
I would think torture would be the last thing someone would want to do to themselves while unemployed.
I kid, I kid...

Then it sounds like a worthless standard if it's only valid as long as almost no one uses it.
First to file does not eliminate prior art as a way to invalidate a patent.

In conclusion, YOU FAIL IT.
I should say not unrevokable unless you have a contract saying otherwise.
Not true. You can revoke the licensing rights to your novel. Copyright licensing rights are not unrevokable.
There is a new SDK for the same reason each version of Android has a new SDK: new features.
The cameras are to snap your license plate if you don't have a TxTag so you can still be billed without pulling over to the service center.
You current pay like 5 dollars to go from Austin to Georgetown. You'll waste more in gas on the stop and go traffic in downtown Austin than you'll pay in the toll costs.
The US stats are 15 per 100,000 vehicles or 12.3 per 100,000 people. So the fatality rate is actually 100 times lower than you state.

Except the northern part from Austin to Georgetown has been upon for years and has no speed cameras.
That's why 130 is mostly flat so you can see what's coming for miles. It also has little traffic.
I drive in Houaton reguarly and going only 70 gets you passed regularly on I-10 and on the Beltway.
That's actually false. TxTag roads have tollbooths you can pull off to pay at if you wanted especially upon exiting. Same with Houston's EZ Tag system. Where did you get this bunk from?

And yet this isn't the only choice. I-35 is still there for most people.
