Every company should be free to implement a military-style basic training for new college grads.
I went to Army basic training at Ft. Benning in the early 90's and I don't remember for sure - I might have been called a "precious snowflake" a few times - but no one ever tried real hard to boost my self-esteem. Oh, I got all kinds of compliments but they all ended with "maggot" and other choice nouns.
Wow, so the first round of people subjected to this scrutiny get screwed. But come the next round of reviews everyone will have figured out how to game the system and cluttered inboxes with drivel to get a big, dark circle. Makes sense to me.
Stupid laws like this only survive because people crumble in the face of silly threats.
Not necessarily, the problem is that Amazon has more money.
Whether the submitter is in the right or not, Amazon has the resources to bankrupt him while he's trying to prove it. That's the American Way(TM), didn't you know?
OR.... Diebold didn't make them, rather Premier Election Solutions did. Diebold bought Premier back in the early oughties when Wally O'Dell was CEO and had deep interest with the Bush administration. Your banking "issues" are from a completely separate company in a completely separate state.
It's so nice that the picture inside the mobile command center has a split screen monitor with the food network, themselves, days of our lives, and The Care Bears.
This will look great for him during campaign time.
We've all seen the ads on television that say "Senator Johnson is great; great for the community; great for our state. Senator Johnson sponsored a bill that would 'save the children', and another that would 'fight terrorism' blah, blah, blah."
Whether it passes or not - whether he knew it wouldn't - is irrelevant because once it's introduced it's on the books.
It's typical political incentivized bad behavior, and sadly it's the system "we" allow to flourish.

Where in the frak is -1 depressing when you need it?
If we didn't enable these people then we wouldn't have Dr. House.
Man, crazy people always wanting to cut off the nose to spite the face.

Stupid HR people are ruining work for everyone.

Suppose you believed that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are real. Is me calling you an idiot fair or bigotry?

You forgot to ask rhetorically if he's new here.
This is Slashdot, you must be new here.
Gattaca came out in the '90's.
Not to mention that audio books are, in most cases, more expensive than paper books.
The NYT is available on the Kindle. I wonder how many people are using TTS to listen to his rant. I know funny, and that's funny.
I got my Kindle 2.0 from the UPS driver yesterday.
I tried out this frightful technology and I can tell you - it sounds very much like Stephen Hawking reading to me.
If by "replace humans" he means Stephen Hawking doing book readings at the local Borders well then, yes, maybe he's right.
On the _other_ hand, I'd like my books read to me... "Once more, with feeling" (you dirty grubs).
Is that you Tom Cruise?
That's no good for printing digital photos.
At least with this you can print the whole family in 16-bit coffee-scale suitable for framing.

How cute.
Cool it, Bennie.
This won't help your case.

If things ever get too bad, you can always take up arms and restore the government of the people... ...Oh, wait.
Well, you still have pointy kitchen knives....
Oh, wait....
Nevermind.
You should welcome your new overlords.
as Band-Aid did with bandages here.
What the hell is a bandage?
"But it's what you _asked_ for."
But does Mr. Ghostrider get to do flybys of the tower even if the pattern is full?
As long as we're on the memes...
Didn't the Nazi's do something similar?
Microsoft gave the "Bob" team one last chance.
As we can all see, nothing has changed.
