Usually businesses will offer permanence and hope of higher position and wages in the future in order to get unusual amounts of effort from employees. Imagine hiring someone and telling them the truth. That truth usually being that the employee will be dismissed and that the job has no potential and no future at all. So turn about is fair play. If the employee only steals from the company they are actually lucky. Many employees are thinking rope and a tree for the management on the way out. Pay them in promises. Pay them in recognition. But never,ever pay them with money!!!
Businesses seek to hire fewer employees or employees that work for less money. As tech support becomes more and more mechanized we can expect less and less jobs. The jobs that are left will surely demand higher skill levels.
Current catastrophic unemployment levels are reflecting computers and technology elimination the need for workers. The vital part is that government must catch on and make certain that people have spending money even if they have no jobs. Without supporting displaced workers the economy will eventually suffer total collapse and no production at all will take place. Unlike welfare this new issue will not be helped by giving a minimal welfare allowance. The need is for people to be able to buy homes,cars, major appliances, vacations as well as the more trivial stuff. The catch is that those that are working will feel slighted as those that do not work will be living as well as they are.
Sometimes there is a great silence when a job killer becomes common place. The cell phone is a great example. Millions of office workers lost their jobs when cell phones became common. The small company often no longer needed someone sitting at a desk because the management could take phone calls while in the field. Computerized book keeping also made it possible for many small companies to do all or almost all of their book keeping chores. The trend will continue as more and more devices eliminate workers. If we do not adjust to this now we are all going to suffer..
Deciding to spy on the students was the criminal intention. This is the same old story. The law applies only to certain people and not others. If justice were at hand the case would be decided just as if some private person had decided to spy on the kids.
From every mountain top let freedom ring! Freedom of information needs to be ringing out more than most other freedoms. I only hope the folks at Wikileaks and in the Pirate Party are safe from the more sinister forces that might be put upon them.
Perhaps one of the breakthrough treatments will work before she passes. There are a lot of people that doctors have given up on that live on for a decade or more.
About the memories, I suggest that you consider that for many people forgetting acts as a buffer against pain and a bit of forgetting may help more than too much remembering. After a year or two or three your daughters should not remember their mother in their daily thoughts on some days. Other days are a bit more reflective. But none of us could get along well if we dragged our ghosts around with us too much.
I hope things go better than expected for you and your wife and family.
We are seeing out of control drug wars in Mexico and some of the Caribbean islands as well. It is completely idiotic to assume that this can not happen in America as well.
This problem needs a cure before it gets worse. First we need to militarize our border and use all military tactics to keep intruders out. We need a good national ID card for everyone in the nation. And we need to be far, far harsher on those who use drugs as well as those that sell or smuggle them. First offenders for drug use need severe enough punishments that their entire lives will be conspicuously effected. For example forced labor on every weekend for the rest of their lives for simple possession would send a message. Or perhaps we could impose economic sanctions that would force a one time offender to labor for minimum wage for the rest of their lives. Second offenders should be executed. Our future is in our hands. And as far as being kind and gentle goes just how kind has liberal punishment been for the people in Mexico who now must fear bullets flying or heads being taken for the slightest objection to drug selling.
The idea that there is ever any right to privacy is shaky at best. The notion that a person under arrest is entitled to privacy is even worse. After all, arrest is a public function carried out by public employees, using public transportation and public jails and processing areas and based upon public reports. And in relation to drunk driving we are not yet anywhere near punitive enough in cases involving drunk driving.
Why go to all that negative bother? A good old fashioned gator pit suits me. Not only is burial not even an issue but the hides from the happy, and well fed gators make lovely luggage. The rest of the gators harvested could be used as hog feed.
Obviously the prejudice of a professor can play heavily upon grades. Most of us have seen it in action. Sometimes it's the old guy who gives great grades to pretty girls and hates anyone on the football team. The next time around may be the opposite. Perhaps only the football team gets a break on grades. The point being that it is flat out bonkers to think that the student is the only one in charge of his grades.
I do not consider dial up to be a real net connection at all. It's way too slow. For most people there is only one cable provider and even though all American cable companies are third rate and over priced we are stuck with the one available to us as our only real choice. It's high time to allow or even insist upon multiple cable companies in every area. Then maybe choice will exist.
Obviously commercial forces join together And continually let the FBI know who contributes big bucks to officials. Justice is for sale in more ways than one.
Apparently the courts and the FTC actually seek to encourage crime. How is it with the overwhelming number of useless laws on the books that we do not have a single law that states that the wrong doer must always pay back more than was taken?
Letting such technology lose may have consequences both good and bad that we can not hope to predict. For example suppose an eye in the sky was able to catch all kinds of thieves and burglars at work and then the public finds out that we do not have the money to put people in prison. That could cause real chaos as more and more people figured that the law lacked the financial capacity to punish them.
College can be very demanding and any time at all spent paying attention to a computer or its software or its operation needs to be avoided. Linux is a superior OS but there is a learning curve and the time spent paying attention to the computer may drain the constant pressure towards narrow concentration on subject matters. Back in the day we used to see hackers who used Apple machines simply because they wanted to use all of their concentration in penetration of other peoples' systems.
From my point of view his obligations to the employer ceased the instant he was fired. I don't feel that any justice at all took place in this affair. Our courts and laws have gone over the edge. What is more serious? A drunk driving incident in which no serious injuries took place or failure to hand over a password? Justice may supposed to be blind and level but nobody ever suggested that justice should be as stupid as a stone.
In some ways a soldier in war is the only one to know anything about a war. In other ways a soldier in a war knows less about his war than almost everyone else. One thing is certain. A soldier can be demoralized to the point of being useless by being exposed to some truths that he best never know. In situations like Vietnam it is a wonder that our troops did not go into total rebellion and attack their leaders. I suspect that the American public dare not know all that is behind the conflicts in the Arab nations. People might ask why we are so hated in that region. It is just so hard to have a full blown war these days with battlefields filled with millions of dead soldiers. Ah, the good old days!
If I needed an identity card to log onto the net it wouldn't bother me a bit. Nor would it bother me if the government could track my every move 24 -7-365. I don't do anything particularly illegal compared to the next guy and I don't depend upon anyone's opinion of me for income either.
Frankly i think it would be great if we could track down killers, armed robbers, drug dealers and users etc.. The quality of life would go up for most people if they were under close scrutiny at all times. One benefit is false accusations are not a hazard simply because if one is watched closely there can be no accusation that is not true that sticks. And I love the idea of burglars and petty thieves being shut down completely. Stalkers would also be out of luck as getting close to a victim would reveal itself every time.
The Rolls Royce Merlin engine was critical in winning WWII. Perhaps a new rocket engine should get a more original name and leave the name alone as it has already earned the gratitude of so many of us.
Spying or inserting malware on foreign nations computers could lead to violence. A cyber attack can be deadly serious and causing a constant expense to protect oneself can ruin any real chances for commerce or even survival. I highly support strategic attacks upon any nation that even allows private industries to spy across borders. Perhaps we need to be punitive enough to make it clear that the last thing any nation wants to do is allow these cyber attacks upon us.
As a nation we have many secrets. Our public has no way to evaluate the morality of a war in which we were involved. And we can never judge the consequences of a war either. For example Adolph Hitler was subjected to the type of percussive shelling that is now known to cause serious brain injuries in the first World War. He was also gassed and the effects of that gassing may also include brain damage. He was hospitalized by the British to treat his gassing injuries after WWI ended. It may very well be that the awful carnage of WWII was due in great part to the brain injuries sustained by Hitler. Think about it a bit. He displayed idiotic tendencies yet was also an intense genius in some ways. He may well have been the most spell binding orator in all of history. So we may have seen the horrors of WWII due to Hitler's brain injuries. He was rather like an evil version of an idiot savant.
So how do morals come into play? If we bombed and gassed a wacko like Hitler into existence and that directly fed the world into WWII just how moral could w
It is not just the Mozart and Bach type of classic that is missing. Things like Dixieland jazz and Rockabilly also are quite hard to come by. Our musical heritage is being lost. A lot of this loss is caused by the copyright nuts. If they would let outfits like Stream Tuner alone much music could be preserved. As it is many of the tunes could not be properly recorded when originally created as machines did not exist that could do the job. So what we are left with are people in the 1950 era playing the old tunes and re-issuing that music. That creates that copyright nightmare all over again.
This is not politics. It is corruption at its worst. It's time to create laws that severely slam those who would use our governmental systems for financial purposes. Get rid of lobbyists.
It is the usual and normal pattern in America that the wealthy acquire new devices before the poor. The wealthy guy can take the hit if he makes a bad choice and makes a lousy decision whereas the poor can sink under the waves from a tiny error. As the technology gets more common, is thought of as being reliable and cheap to operate, then expect people with less money to acquire such a product. In essence the wealthy are the guinea pig and after all companies usually seek the big spenders as buyers.
I expect a tipping point in which there will eventually be a stampede of buyers seeking electric cars. Companies that have put them selves in the right position will earn a whole lot of money.
This is a further extension of an issue with teachers in the lower schools. Professors or "teachers" are not required to teach anything at all. What teachers and professors do is offer both information and a way of life to students. The students are the ones charged with the task of learning. And students usually are free to use numerous tools and methods of learning. Both the students and hopefully their parents can and must find ways to make learning stick in the students' minds.
I found that I was required to have total recall on quite a few facts and figures while in school. I quickly learned to shut off the TV and the radio and repeat to myself as fast as I could a fact, sentence or paragraph over and over until it stuck. Sometimes I jumped all around the room repeating the item until I could spit it out precisely at any time of day or night. My method might work one heck of a lot better than high resolution, 64 million color displays that a student can fall asleep while watching.

The whole idea of using "up to" in a description is to lie and misinform. This is the very type of gimmick that makes businesses all look evil.
