Every hospital I've worked for pays nurses, x-ray techs, ultrasound techs, and sometimes physicians for on-call services. My suggestion is to find out how your hospital deals with its nurses and ask for the same.
(BTW: from what I've seen, a typical arrangement is to pay an hourly rate for the call plus a two-hour minimum at overtime rates if the employee has to come in. OTOH I was an administrator-on-call for years and never got a penny.)
but liars figure. According to the San Jose Mercury, the RIAA study relied on sales data from periods PRIOR TO the wide distribution of Napster. Thus the RIAA study reflects the shift in sales from retail stores to online sellers (the sales figures from which were excluded from the RIAA study.) Given this, the Jupiter study results are entirely consistent. My question is: Who does the RIAA think it protecting ? brick-and-mortar retailers ? mom and pop retailers ?
I owned both DR-DOS 5.0 and 6.0 but ending buying MS-DOS 5.0 anyway as WIN 3.1 would run under either DR-DOS product. Does this settlement now make for CLASS ACTION STATUS on behalf of DR-DOS owners (using the pre-trial discovery documents ?)
The fact is that ALL of us human-types are lazy and/or selfish, and we LEARN only when its in OUR BEST INTEREST. THus the tradeoff - we are willing to take the time to learn something only when we perceive a benefit to us.
Thus,for its user/market/customer Debian is right to tradeoff "ease of use" for "power and control", and Windows/Red Hat/etc are right to tradeoff "power and control" for "ease of use" for their user/market/customer.
I first bought a bicycle because had used one in college - it offered a nice stable, comfortable ride.
However, when I took my bike home from the store I realized that it there was a whole new side to it I had never experienced - balancing on two wheels.
Frankly, I'm not interested in *balancing* a bike, I am more interested in ***using it***.
There are all sorts of interesting things to learn in the world but the arcane intricacies of bike riding are not one of them.
So what's to complain about ? 1) it's factually accurate 2) the reporter clearly got the message that HP intends to **support** the Linux community instead of **acquire** it 3) it yet again proves the./ effect

Rob's missing the big picture here - a full-scale slashdot merchandising program just like the big guys:
trading cards/action figures (rob/hemos/etc)
bed spreads/curtains/towels/etc
bathing suits
temporary tattoos
comic books/videos/"music from the motion picture"
etc etc etc
Ridiculous. Can you name any forms of government regulation that actually work ? Compare:
UPS vs. (regulated) parcel post
MCI/ATT/SPRINT vs (regulated) local telco service
Historically, regulation has been sought by the company/industry that is REGULATED, to protect that company/industry from OUTSIDE COMPETITION.
