Seems like any time someone has a popular video, another user rips it and uploads under their username it to steal hits. The copies and compilations make it really hard to find original content when you're doing searches.
A while back I found a good chart of radiation levels and from memory 300 miles up was the point where radiation levels were too high for permanent human occupation. I wonder if this was the cause...
I bet it's more than that. A guy I used to work with couldn't get in touch w/ a client we were doing support for and guessed the password. I have no clue what he was getting into, but our clients are Fortune 500 companies.
Exactly how a lot of people ended up in Gitmo. Besides the hundreds we've released already, there are other innocent men certified as such by our intelligence services that they won't release.
It's great that he's given so much to charities, but if he's still pushing to the top of the list, that should tell us all he's not giving away relatively much of his fortune.
Will it pretend to ignore you while hitting on a co-ed at the end of the bar? I really won't feel comfortable unless it tries to short me change and hope I'm too drunk to notice, then give me a dirty look when I skimp on the tip.
Hmmm, do you support Microsoft, the Great Satan, for circumventing advertising or do you honor your natural allegiance to Google? Never mind that that same ad revenue is how the videos you enjoy are paid for. The contortions I'm reading here must be snapping spines all over digital creation.
If judgments only made me pay for what I stole, there'd be no incentive NOT to steal! It would become a "catch me if you can, then I'll make good" game.
That's simplistic. If an industry colludes to either suppress wages or change laws to increase the labor pool (lowering certification and licensing standards or H-1Bs) wages won't reflect supply and demand trends. Remember that plane that went down from icing in New England 5 years or so ago? The copilot was making about $20K/year. This is in a time when Vietnam-era pilots are retiring, so the War Boom of skilled pilots is passing.
In fact wages in IT seem to be worse in the industry considering what was happening during the DotCom bubble.
OK that sounds good at only the most cursory level. What happens when you've got Brad Pitt running against Igor in a world's sexiest man poll? Brad Pitt gets $1 million from giggling housewives and Igor gets $50 from his mom. Should both end up with equal financial backing? That's an invitation for any yahoo who can get their 10K signatures to ask for a cut of the pie.
Our country is devolving into an oligarchy. If you're not upper crust, your opinion is irrelevant. Our politicians cater to the fat cats who write their campaign checks. Businesses are running on that statistical razor's edge where customers are maximally pissed off yet not quite enough to pack up and move to a new vendor. Petitions mean nothing. When I was in support, I talked with 2 financial institutions that admitted to me that unless some heavy roller asked for a new feature or a change to business practices, it never happened. One guy with $10M in accounts could come in and ask for change and make it happen.
Hell, even certain segments of the working class devalue themselves and the worth of their labor. They regularly vote to marginalize themselves and empower their bosses.
Cable has become a joke! It's Springsteen's 57 channels times TEN today. The major content providers are extorting the service providers because they know it's an all-or-nothing deal. Even though maybe only 1/3 of customers watch ESPN, no service provider can reject the entire ESPN suite because they know that's a deal-breaker. And the major content providers use that as an excuse to package 3-4 satellite channels that show the same content and charge more.
It's insane that I can surf through dozens of channels and see nothing but crap on. With a la carte, content providers will HAVE to produce quality and not rely on being a filler dial number. I could care less if 1/2 of the stations go away. And, the bullies like ESPN (I think averaging about $8/mo of your cable bill) won't have service providers by the nuts any more.
Unlike the general public, Congressmen actually do focus on more than one issue at a time. Try watching CSPAN for 30 seconds and you'll see topics being debated you've probably never considered. Decrying some tangential issue a politician is working on is basically like saying "I really don't follow politics, but I like to criticize!"
Lots of high school students are absolutely unprepared for the rigors of college study (I was one myself) coupled with a level of independence that tests the responsibility of young people. High school is simply so dumbed down college academics can be a large jump regardless of how well you did before. I see that other posters look at it as a money grab, but so long as it doesn't become financially exploitative this will produce positive results for students from *all* spheres.

So, the only option is to keep them imprisoned?
All the same, I'm more interested in the "how fast can you get daddy another beer?" experiment.

There's a difference between obeying the letter of the law and defrauding companies too small to ever fight back.

Just the part we're worried about.

I don't know if this is insightful or funny. Actually, I was afraid to choose.
Hmmm, do you support Microsoft, the Great Satan, for circumventing advertising or do you honor your natural allegiance to Google? Never mind that that same ad revenue is how the videos you enjoy are paid for. The contortions I'm reading here must be snapping spines all over digital creation.
And, that is relevant to my analogy how?

You're probably right. I thought that's what oligarchy meant.

McCain wanted Lieberman for a running mate, but he obediently followed his advisers' recommendations for Palin. Blame HIS leadership.
