Near as I can tell, there is no advantage to running 64-bit unless you plan to have installed (and to use) significantly more than 4GB of RAM. At or even somewhat above that amount of installed RAM, you are at a disadvantage as everything will use more memory in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit. I have run 32-bit Linux on every laptop I've had in the last several years, 64-bit support or not.
There was help information that gave you keystrokes that were required to emulate some gestures (what needs emulating I can't remember). I guess the emulator has no gesture area which is the whole problem I suppose.
There is nothing unsafe about a properly maintained and regulated nuclear plant with appropriate safeguards. There's also nothing cost-effective about one of those either.
This is a moronic argument. What you're saying is that all I can do is stop using energy entirely until clean energy sources become more widespread? How about opting to pay more for solar/wind generated power and using as little power as you can? I don't find anything terribly hypocritical about that, or see why I shouldn't be allowed to argue for cleaner energy in the meantime.
Why should that have to be though, honestly? So you find a job that you like in a location that works for you, maybe even moving to be close to it... why should your only option be to quit if you can't get anywhere with the manager? All having a union does is level the playing field -- one side has the money, the other has the work.
Merit-based raises work when they're based on a real evaluation scheme that is objective, not subjective. Where I work, some managers give good scores, some give top scores, some do not. Our department head directed our managers not to give anyone higher than a 3 out of 5. Why? I don't know. I have heard the argument that if you end up with a boss who doesn't like you and won't evaluate you well, so what, go get a new job. I guess that's a solution, but why should it have to be?
In the USA, we do not have laws about any of that. 2 weeks vacation is standard in non-union businesses (we start with 4 and earn more with years of service). In some states, the laws are worse than that.
A lot of people act as if getting treated like shit and working 60 hour weeks (as you get no overtime if you're salaried) is some sort of badge of courage.
If the protections and salary increases are such a joke, go work at a non-union facility. My contract sucks and it's far better than what I'd have with my workplace if I were stuck working this out on my own.
At one time unions had a necessary reason for forming and existing. Right now, that reason exists just the same, there is just less heavy machinery involved.
You are still ill-informed. The 15% is NOT the 15% that you have claimed is what unions spend on political donations. At least in my state, all political activities are funded by a special opt-in fund.
No, that was the bullshit reason that Gore was said to have lost the election. It was nonsense and easier than admitting you ran a shitty campaign and had it coming.
That is not accurate. The percentage of the union dues used for representation purposes, etc. (regulated to be 85% as far as I know) is deducted. As I said above, the quitter still gets all of the benefits of being in the union (salary increases, work rules, etc.). It would somehow be fair to have the union members completely carrying the freeloaders?
Sometimes people mod something up that really ought to have been left alone/modded down -- for example "racism no longer exists, it's just black people feeling sorry for themselves" or whatever Mr. Feet was trying to say.
I meant to mod it "Overrated" and instead missed and modded it up (Underrated). The current mod system does not appear to offer any way to undo a moderation or require you to at least submit to confirm.

Does "preload" do what you're talking about or are we not thinking of the same sort of things?

You weren't happy; why not?
Presumably it has other uses other than a flawless execution of "the worm"?
New Jersey doesn't require a real road test, but there is a test on a closed course. I already thought that was bad enough.
No, but they do take issues with the noxious greenhouse gases released by that content-free post.

My father has one. Very decent cargo area (as one would expect from a hatchback really).

You are free to work at a non-union work facility. Collective bargaining works because you're bargaining as part of a group.
How does "instant" runoff not provide an instant result?

And you still get the union-negotiated work rules and salary increases. Oh soooo unfair!
Unions, at least in my state, do NOT use dues money for political donations because they are not permitted... so cut the bullshit.
Cut the bullshit.

You are more privileged than a black family in your exact station. That hasn't changed.
Posting to cancel my "Underrated" that I actually modded you when I meant Overrated.
