    yes, breaking in and taking information

    people would oppose someone breaking into their house and stealing all their financial documents, but its apparently harmless to break in and commit industrial espionage

    spend your tax dollars developing it, and if its something useful its sold to suck the most profit out of your wallet by the now private company who developed it.

    Its like the Wii, its awesome for a little bit, but at some point your just going to want to sit down and play a game like normal. Thats kind of like the way VR is, its awesome ... then it becomes more and more of an inconvenience, then one day you clean off your desk cause the damn gear, is in your way.

    its a automated line dipshit, not your SEO site

    the line runs at X units per hour, if people are only there for 3 hours, you get 3 hours of shit done, no matter what unless something breaks

    I hate hour long lunches

    ok I did not hate them when I lived 5 min away from my house, but otherwise OMFG shoot me in the head with a nail gun ... even if I go somewhere it doesnt take me an hour to eat a sandwich, then what do you do

    I rather go home a half hour earlier

    back in the late 90's and early 2000's I kinda wanted to see what union life was about, what extra money I made was sucked dry by dues and living expenses

    now I am glad to live in a right to fire er work state, neither of you have to put up with bullshit and slackers

    you dont like it leave, they dont like it, you are gone. cheap land, cheap taxes, lower wages, but one could live sparingly off of one 40 hr a week 9$ an hour job.

    vs a documentary I recently saw about a closing GM plant, where a widget placer ... that should have been replaced by a robot, with a high school diploma was complaining that she would have to take three 9$ an hour jobs to make ends meet while living in a spartan house and owning 2 10 year old cars.

    shit, if I was sucking in 27 bucks an hour where I live, I could have 4 acres of woodland,and a lower end a mc mansion, not a 1940 factory shack with peeling floors

  12. I dont know on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 1

    If its true, I have only been to a remote colony in the Caribbean, but what pissed me off was the statement afterwords of "pay less than one Euro per hour wage and ship all the tires France needs" (speaking of china and india)

    well fuck the hell out of you too, I just bought new tires, and they were not Michelin, I felt they were average tires for premium price ... but buddy I will never ever even acknowledge your brands even exist any more, and if anyone asks I will be sure to share your feelings.

    see thats a weird crossover, conservatives want you to take individual risk, but tell you exactly what you can and cant do, liberals on the other hand want you to live your live as free as possible, as long as the government oversees each aspect of it

    so, do you want a bunch of GOD fearin, Jesus lovin, gun totin, conservatives telling you how to live your life, or do you want big brother, oppressive, if your not a victim your the problem liberals telling you how to live your life?

    I want them to both fuck off

  24. Re:My P4 on NetBSD To Support Kernel Development In Lua Scripting · · Score: 1

    oh no not a P4, that thing is like stone age!

    seriously though I often use lua on a 90Mhz pentium1 8 meg laptop for various test's where I may need to log data once an hour for 3 months and I dont want to waste a real computer

    its faster than qbasic, its hardly noticeable against a poorly written compiled program, its not even terrible to a decently written compiled program. lua is a pretty darn fast interpreted language, and since its all bound to C on the backend anyway its easy to rapid develop with lua and strip it away later

  25. Modifying C? on NetBSD To Support Kernel Development In Lua Scripting · · Score: 1

    I dont know what packages are going to be bound with this, but in many cases your right back in C adding bindings for lua. Thats one of the good points about lua, is that it can be tied to anything, but the bare bones basic lua is not too much more complicated than a batch file
