So instead of everyone working hard to do their job, everyone works hard to make everyone else think they are working hard. Brilliant, where can I sign up?

Not with this mindset ruling the working class. someone still has to pay taxes, tuition, etc for your new job... those people have to have jobs too. We can't all work for the government, otherwise it's socialism.
The members side of all of Larry Flint's sites (hustler.com, barelylegal.com, bustybeauties.com, etc) was written to use a MySQL db for user validation and feed referral validation. The program (Private Referrers) was done using PHP as well. If anyone wants to know more, the company I worked for may still sell the app and know how to install it. I hear they charge a lot for it now though.
At the very least, it will be fun to see the catastrophe of a wormhole opening much larger than it should and transporting an entire neighborhood or factory. You can bet that this would be killed by legislation because most people fear what they don't understand. Another scenario (much more short term) is that we create fixed wormhole "tunnels" in the sky for air transportation.
Forget welfare to the poor. It is dwarfed by Corporate Welfare.
If I had an army of lobbyists, I'm sure I could get my own personal law passed at this point in America. Can we just get it over with and have a revolution now so we can have these guys up against the wall there they belong?
Home DVD Players do not come with recorders... that is still down the road somewhere (maybe). And most people are too stupid to record VCDs or copy a DVD. Trading DVDs over the Internet is so rare that I have yet to see an unbiased news source even report on it.
Sure I'll let people borrow a DVD from my collection, but the fact of the matter is that we don't need new laws just to enforce new technology, the old ones (pre-DMCA) still work and these guys should be happy with the billions they already have.
Their wet dream is to have total media control. Seeing as that will never happen (there will always be people exercising "piracy" (AKA ownership rights to the MPAA) of some form. They realized this during the VHS trials and have now come back with the DMCA in an attempt to force encryption down our throats. It makes me sick that these people can make gazillions of dollars, control the industry with an tight fist concerning what gets pushed to the masses and what gets shitcanned, yet they don't want us to be able to play these movies as we please.
They like computers, it's just that they want to control your computer down to the hardware. Fuck them. An industry-wide consortium should not be this one-sided and so blatently against consumer rights.
We gave these guys ~$122B to fight cyberterrorism and what do we get? Pure and utter incompetence.
Oh, I see... they just need more money. When the fuck did this country become so unwilling to take responsibility for our fuckups? I forgot, no one can be responsible because that means our government can't and won't protect us. But we should still give them gobs of money so that they can inform us how we might possibly die instead of doing anything to prevent it. /angry libertarian rant
This is a great example of "trickle up" economics. As more and more jobs move offshore, the stardard of living and wages in the US will drop (which is already happening due to unemployment). While management like to think that they are immune to this, they need to get a reality check, because once you turn your local workforce into a bunch of temp-slaves, there are local companies that are there to manage them, so guess who gets the ax in the next round of layoffs?
The BBT and this cyclic theory can be tied together easily, they may BOTH be correct. The cyclic theory does not try to undermine the BBT, it helps augment some arguments that have been held for a while... that the universe expands and contracts on a continual basis. What remains a mystery is what causes the reversal of each cycle.
I have to applaud you on this, not many people realize that you can enjoy being a programmer and it does not require working 60-80 hours a week.
After a while your body will go to shit from sitting in a chair all day and you'll be resentful of your employer because you are busting your ass so that they can make more money. Screw that bullshit, I enjoy my free time (spent biking and OUTSIDE). Do not take your work home, don't become a salary slave just because the economy isn't the best, after all, who fucked up the economy and caused the tech crash? The same idiots who run around screaming for you to stay late and meet deadlines while they dip out at 4PM to go home early.
What about games that are porn? Am I the only person who actually enjoyed playing this series? It was risque, witty and very entertaining. Amazing that something so forward thinking hasn't been bothered to be duplicated with current game technology.
Slashhdot will probably make a fair amount of $$$ off of the banner free subscription idea, but this "deal" just doesn't add anythng of value. I mean, what kind of value is it for me to pay to not see ads, I see them everywhere as it is and have become accustomed to filtering them (mentally and proxy).
Here's something that I might be willing to pay for (ideas stolen from Fark):
- Open the submission queue, there is a lot of cool stuff that doesn't get posted but people would still like to read it. - Make it known who the subscribers are, kinda like bumper stickers for supporting the police. - Open the submission queue to early comments by subscribers.
There is little value in regurgitation of other news outlets and given half the chance and motive there are plenty of sites that would love to replace/.
Are wireless NOCs something that may be coming down the pipeline? More and more webmasters are making the transition to dedicated servers but are still held back by the price tag... this could be the kick in the butt needed to help this sluggish and saturated market come back to life again.
This is a very simple debate if you look at the type of data being collected. A vocal majority of web users know that a good deal of information about them is tracked every time they go to a website or their favorite porn site. Most are content with allowing this information to be tracked as well as long as it is under the premise of being anonymous. When a site tries to tie in personal information, that is where the line needs to be drawn and opt-in needs to be specifically required (without questionable tactics such as pre-checking boxes allowing the user to be mailed by 3rd-parties).
People are willing to give up a lot of information about themselves when you promise that the data will be anonymous or in aggregate format, and for the most part, companies have no problem with this. The ire of the masses is resounding when companies don't use this information in the manner intended or attempt to use it to create marketing profiles per user. I don't mind buying things, but I also do not want "HOT!!! DEALS!" crammed in my inbox and down my throat.
So to Senator Hollings, I ask that instead of laying more restrictions on companies that will either get blown off or result in a plethora of legalese every time you sign up for a mailing list, he should focus more on making sure that his proposal is simple and understandable by both parties (COPA is a good example of how ALL personal data should be handled).

NEW HOMELAND SECURITY BILL DROPS INVESTIGATION INTO 9-11.
I guess we don't need to know what happened, just what we were told what happened by the president.
But can you live without your heat?
Had some capacitors blow on a heater circuit board recently, looked pretty suspicious, now we know why.
IMHO: The market will recover.

They can pull all of their collective necks together into one, making it easier for us to cut it off.

Quitter. It's far more damaging to your career if you never finish anything.

Adult hosts are used to getting calls about anything from trademark infringement to libel. They know the rules and when to call BS on a C&D letter.
I work for one myself (obligatory NationalNet link) but you can find your own if you need at many review sites. Good luck!
I don't want to grow up...
I'm a nano-tech kid.
Feel free to post your own verse and flesh this out as you see fit.
