In recent months, some corporations have been doing their part. They have delivered public and private monies urging a settlement to leave with SCO, so that licensince can proceed peacefully. IBM has thus far refused. All the decades of deceit and cruelty have now reached an end. IBM and it's board of directors must leave IBM headquarters within 48 hours. Their refusal to do so will result in military conflict, commenced at a time of our choosing. For their own safety, all foreign workers -- including contractors and temporary employees -- should leave IBM immediately.
Many IBM employees can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast, and I have a message for them. If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your company and not against you. As our lawyers take away their power, we will deliver the employment and medical benefits you need. We will tear down the apparatus of AIX and we will help you to build a new IBM that is prosperous and free. In a free IBM, there will be no more wars of aggression against UNIX, no more antiquated mainframes, no more skipped lunches, no more broken copier machines and TPS reports. The board of directors will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near./tongue planted firmly in cheek
You know, a revolution was started in this country a couple hundred years ago because of taxation without representation. Of course, we were considered British subjects then, but the fact that it was unfair didn't seem to stop anyone from killing a bunch of the government bastards.
Of course these days, most Americans are too stupid or lazy to stand up for their rights, so it's no wonder they are being taken away one by one.
This will increase revenues for cable companies and allow them to expand, creating more jobs. Smaller companies in rural areas will now also be able to grow as well.
Actually it's very simple: I can't compete with someone who can live comfortably at 15K a year!
My choices in such a circumstance is either to protect my interests by either learning Hindi and becoming an outsourcing manager (I am learning Hindi), lobbying the government to tariff foreign programmers so the cost is prohibitively high (this is a short-term gain and a long-term headache, besides not enough people can pay to lobby for this), or complain loudly on slashdot and berate foreigners then act surprised when my job goes overseas and I'm unemployed.
From personal experience... I've done day-labor while in-between jobs. I wouldn't put it on my resume of course because it opens you up for lowballing the salary.
But having some money coming in and being able to eat and pay the bills while you look for something else is better than not having a job and no income at all.
"If they are a cashier at 7-Eleven and they are applying for a national sales manager [position]... it is pretty obvious whether they fit or not," Snyder said.
The guy might have been the most qualified national sales manager they could have ever encountered; perhaps he was laid off and had to work at 7-11 in order to make ends meet?
If you placed heavy objects at the VERY TOP of the inside of the tire... when pushed they would be able to roll the tire uphill until the heavy object came to rest at the bottom or ran out of it's potential energy.
It's a simple physics lesson of stored potential energy.
You're forgetting who wins in the long term when government acts not as a mediator but as an instigator. The government officials who get the kickbacks and soft money from lobbyists who press harder to pass more restricting laws.
The ultimate course of action is for the pendulum to stop because the hands that allowed it to swing are now choking it.
And fuck you, I'm doing more than merely complaining, I'm active in local politics (both conventional and geurilla). So you can save your smarmy "if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem" attitude and shove it sideways.
Even if you vote for your candidate and he garners the most votes, well, hang on to your boots because he doesn't win.
How is that supposed to instill confidence in the election system?
America has become a nation where we hope that last year's fuckups will be shadowed by this year's redemption. And we are continuously being let down. I guess if everyone waves a little American flag and goes out and buys shit to support the economy that will make up for the looting that is going on behind the scenes./semi-rant
We don't live a capitalist society... we live in what's called a "mixed economy".
Essentially it goes something like this: government supports business rights over individual rights; if two business' butt heads, then the government supports whichever one has more "pull" with the government.

Note to self... buy stock in 60-Volt battery jump-start kits and AAA.
Lybia, Syria, Iran, the Philippines, et al can just buy a commercial aircraft.
;)
They could also buy fighter jets (whoo scary).
The irony is that we sell them to them
She'd only try to kill you anyways once you gain your memory.
I did, I think they should make them bigger, and not only half the mirror.
I'd buy it if they put this mirror stuff on a normal LCD TV.

Pffft... 52"

... to Totalitarianism will start on TV.
Idol worship, national pride and race-thinking.
This is just one more step down the road, and if you think Bush is at the lead you are wrong. Just as in Nazi Germany, the mob ruled.
Origins of Totalitarianism can give anyone who cares much more insight.

FYI - Lewis Carrol coined this before Douglas Adams.

According to conservatives:

Yes, both sides are stupid.

Objectivist.
It's a wildly swinging pendulum.
I'm complaining about it now.
