  1. No business questions? on IRC Forum w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos Tonight at 8pm Eastern · · Score: 1

    Hmm, well I might still show up.

  2. Re:The Net effects of Wal-Mart... on Wal-Mart Enters NetFlix's Business · · Score: 1

    That may or may not be true. What I was saying is that my downtown was GONE way before Wal-Mart came to be.

    Have you been in a mall lately? The Gap, Sears, JCPenney's are all national interests.

    Actually Coca-Cola sued to try to get Pepsi-Cola from calling itself Pepsi-Cola.

    I don't like Wal-mart, and I haven't shopped tehre in over a year but claiming that the downtowns all went away because of wal-mart is just hype.

    In my area, all of the downtowns disappeared when the Mall got built and mini-malls started popping up. This was when Wal-mart was still just a 5 and Dime.

    Damn. That's the reason I sue Amazon. I figure that if they are still losing money, I may as well buy from them.

  6. Re:Thank Heaven for Europe! on U.S. E-Commerce Sites To Collect EU VAT · · Score: 1

    Oh please. if the US ( states and feds) would curtail the rampant spending, taxes wouldn't need to go up. But hey if you want guaranteed "free" everything I guess another tax really won't hurt.

  7. Not all true. on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 2, Informative
    And, actually, if you don't have a job in 6 months then you also need to figure out what to do for health insurance - COBRA runs out at that point. Don't go uninsured, since any future insurer will then be able to point at "previously existing medical condition" to avoid paying for many things


    COBRA lasts 18 months.
    You should get a document from your previous insurer stating that you have been insured and that you can't be turned down for existing conditions.

  8. That will work. on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    For like 2 days. Then they'll just hire one of the millions that have been unemployed for more than a year at 8 bucks an hour and move on. Meanwhile, unless you have a job already lined up, you're going to have a hard time explaining: "I just left because I wasn't appreciated."

    Lifetime means the life of the company. Since SonicBlue is no longer around, you got what you were promised.

    Well I was quoting the original poster, but my point was that the savings would be small.

    Good luck getting MythTV installed. And asking the developers for help is useless.

    In my world being killed after jumping out of a plane is the same as being caught.

    My guess it's there so people son't accidently bump the power button and turn it off in the middle of something.

    Don't you still need to buy a license of each app you want to run with the Crossover plugin?

    First you say this:
    He really knew his shit, especially when it came to invisibly manipulating Cisco equipment and covering his tracks in Unix/Linux/BSD logs.



    Then you say:
    the FBI had been watching his movements for some time



    Sounds like a lot of hype to me. I am sure he knew stuff, but no one's so good they never get caught.

    So Bush wanted to be President no matter what. SO he decides to pick ONE state to corrupt so he can win, And to boot he picks the state where his brother is gov. Yeah. I think you need to a) adjust your tinfoil hat b) get your Democrat buddies together so they can pick a strong candidate in 2004.

    This must be true. The guy who napped at work still has a job after the big layoffs, and me who was in at 6AM every day does not.
