Want to know how I know you don't know what you are talking about? That was ALWAYS the calculation used for unemployment. It NEVER counted those who had stopped looking.
Just because today's fonts breaks something doesn't make them correct. Two spaces make paragraphs easier to dissect and find information. If your font doesn't allow that effect, then your font is bad not the rule it is breaking.
If the extra space helps, IT HELPS. It doesn't matter that they used a fixed width font for the test. Since proportional fonts mess with the size of the space, to have a meaningful test they almost had to use fixed width. A single space separates words to make them more readable and a double space separates sentences for the same reason. Even if it doesn't aid in reading speed, I guarantee you it helps if you have to go back and find a particular sentence in the middle of the text.
Obviously not being in one doesn't help your comprehension difficulties. The fact you negotiate yourself IN NO WAY affects a union's LEGALLY MANDATED responsibility to negotiate on your behalf if you work at a union shop.
Get rid of that law and I have no problem with not forcing everyone to pay dues but with that law in affect, if you don't want to be in a union, work somewhere that isn't unionized.
Because I don't want to pay a corrupt bloated bureaucracy that cares about its own perpetuation and political power and doesn't give a flying fuck about me.
Because I can negotiate my own fucking wages.
Because I'm worth what I get paid, and if someone negotiates that higher than I'm being paid more than I'm worth. If someone negotiates that lower then they've cost me money. Neither of these are good.
Because I didn't ask the union to do a fucking thing for me.
Because my employer can't afford those wages so the company is doomed.
Is that enough reasons yet, or do I need to keep going?
Please keep going. Maybe at some point you will address my point about it being MANDATED by law that the union negotiate for you if you work in a union shop. I doubt it since you seem a little upset but go ahead and give it a shot.
Sounds like your union sucks, therefore all unions suck? Maybe you should get more involved in your union.
If unions are great (and some maybe not), the solution is astoundingly simple: MAKE... THEM... OPTIONAL... aka "Right to Work" laws.
I live in Texas. We're right to work, exactly as it should be. I used to live in another state, where I quite literally watched the UAW destroy the town. Family members out of work PERMANENTLY because the union couldn't "negotiate" a "sensible" contract. That auto manufacturer now CEASES TO EXIST. The manufacturer that came in and bought the plants hired many of the workers back, new union contract, things were tough but they too were forced out of town when the "contract negotiations" failed. 100% of those "union protected" jobs are now *gone*. Unions are nothing but self-serving parasites.
Then get rid of the law that says the union has to negotiate for all employees and not just the ones willing to pay the dues. Why should you get the benefits my union dues paid for?
Why should someone have to switch jobs to avoid the union? Why shouldnt they have the fucking *right* not to have to join the union at a workplace?! How is that not the union interfering in someones private life?!
They have to switch jobs to avoid the union because it was made illegal for a union to only negotiate for its members. It has to negotiate for all employees that are in the same job they are negotiating for. Why should you get the higher wages a union brings(and it does bring them) but not have to help pay for the expense of getting those better wages?
I'm sure you were this upset when Rice and Powell both used private email account and the Bush/Cheney White House "lost" 2 million emails that were stored on an RNC server being used by White House staff? Right? Are there? Is that cricket noise I hear?
I wish I had points to mod you up just for the analogy sentence. I HATE when you make a valid analogy and people pick at it because it isn't 100% accurate. If the analogy was 100% accurate, it wouldn't be an analogy. It would BE the original thing/topic/whatever.
Immediately on reboot go to Settings - Application Manager - Installed Apps and delete AppLock. You could probably just Force Stop it, but I used delete. You do have to be quick though. I tested a few more times and sometimes I beat AppLock starting and sometimes I don't get it disabled in time.
Just the act of saying that is the reason to delete old email can be construed as obstruction of justice. If a lawyer sometime down the road tries to subpoena the email and discovers the sole reason it is no longer available was to make it unavailable for discovery, he can add obstruction to the list of charges.
Are you sure "excellent" for use on Earth where maintenance can be done equals "excellent" for use on Mars where they can never be touched again? Also, what, if anything, would that layer of silicon do to the traction of the wheels? I'm guessing those "point loads" you mentioned are there for a reason.
How's this then? Human's go places "because they are there" and "here is starting to suck pretty badly." We are up to almost 7 billion people. How long do you think its going to be before "here" sucks bad enough to make space an attractive alternative?
None of the people involved in this are idiots. Just because you can't conceive of it making money doesn't mean they can't.
Going by this logic the human race should still be confined to some small valley in Africa. Human's do stuff and go places "because it's there." When we stop doing that the clock to extinction starts ticking.
I will never invest in a book reader until one issue is resolved. If they are going to charge ~$10us for an e-book, I must OWN my copy. That means I better be able to port it to the reader of MY choice any time I choose. If they expect me to purchase my entire library again when I move to a new/better e-reader, the books have to cost MUCH less than the current price levels. I don't want the Kindle version, or the Nook version, of their damn book. I want MY version that can move anywhere I need to read it.

Of course it is $800 dollars less than a MacBook Pro. Its not a computer. Its a browser in a box.
Installed AppLock. It took me one reboot and 5 seconds to get around the software completely without entering a single pin.

I read those prices and laughed so hard I almost passed out. Those are seriously the price points?
