Exactly like Tsetum said... The BEST reason a software company should offer flextime is because if they don't... Someone else will.
If they are that archaic in handling their high-demand employees... WALK! And make sure you tell them why during the exit interview.
If I'm paying to join the Napster service, I shouldn't have to let someone download songs off of my PC. In the "free" community I don't have a problem with sharing... but I'm not going to pay Napster for the "right" to communicate with another music lover.
BTW, Scour was up and running as late as last night (Nov8)...
I remember my first fork. I was 17 and it was after a high-school dance. We were in my father's car in the parking lot... wait a minute... you said 'FORK'?!?!? Damn, this is definitely the wrong forum for this story...
The best Beer in the world definitely comes from... BELGIUM (btw, I AM CANADIAN... hmmm two molson commercial ref's in one post). Stella Artois is one of the world's best lagers (Pilsner Urquell, Becks and Heineken also come to mind) and Duvel is in a league of its own... And don't even get me started on Lambics).
Love my Bitter too... first glass I ever had was hard to drink, the second was heaven in a glass.
Anyone who claims that commercial Canadian Beer is the best in the world has never tried anything but.
*Hic*
And Rickards Red is Molson Canadian with food colouring.

There may be some obvious reasons against this idea that I'm not realizing this morning, but if the RIAA wants Napster shutdow, why doesn't Napster simply host their servers from somewhere outside of the jurisdiction of the US Government. Sorry Yanks, the world does not revolve around you despite your best efforts to change it.
Everytime the RIAA complains about lost revenue they always point to the artist as the real victim, while in fact they are only looking to protect their own monopoly. In Canada, the Tragically Hip, which is considered to have a good deal with their label, only makes approx $1 from every CD sold. So who is the RIAA trying to protect by blocking Napster? The RIAA. Where Metallica is concerned, they have created their own label for promoting their music.. so they aren't protecting themselves as artists, they are protecting themselves as a record label. One area where artists should be concerned are the bands who release albums with 1 or 2 good tracks and the rest being filler. Why should we buy a CD for 1 or 2 songs? The RIAA reminds me a lot of Encyclopedia Britannica... though for the record (no pun) EB didn't whine when they saw their hard copy sales disappear with the advent of CD technology. Technology changes the world we live in. Grow with it or be left behind. Face it RIAA, music will still be produced regardless of the distribution method... its just unfortunate that the RIAA may not be part of the equation.
Hooray for the EU. If Canada wasn't trying so hard to stay inthe goodbooks with Uncle Sam, maybe we could have lifted the crypto export law. The only reason the US didn't want to export 128-bit security is because they want to be able to read every piece of information on the internet. This is a great move for the entire internet and not just to EU citizens and companies. I wish the companies well in producing a product that could become the world standard, without the backdoor access the US government pressures to have in place.
