Why on earth do they need that many people. Aren't these electronics lines automated? (On another note: When was the last time a U.S. or EU company announced hiring 36,000 people.)
>>>Instead of murder I just suggest he move out of the country.
The U.S. will just extradite him back from the EU or wherever he tries to flee, like they are trying with Julian Assange, the British boy who typed "password" into a DOD network, and the Megaupload guys.
Or if more recent news is accurate, they might Not let him leave at all...... or possibly let him leave but still lay claim to his foreign earnings under the new law that was created to suck money from Facebook's founder (he moved to Singapore).
Why can't you afford college? It's about $60,000 per kid at a state school, or $180,000 for all three. I was able to save $180,000 in just 4 years. No reason you can't do the same over 20.
In terms of cars $180,000 == 9 cars. So stop buying cars every 3-4 years and stash that money away in the bank. Then cancel your cable TV (it's trash) and your unlimited cellphone calling (luxury not necessity). That's $2000 saved per year, or $40,000 from baby kid to college-aged kid.
Cut corners other places like buying the smaller home for $150,000 instead of $250,000. Buy a $350 refrigerator instead of the $1500 stainless steel beauty, and same with washers and dryers and other appliances. And on and on.
>>>You just couldn't be bothered. It's so much easier to whine about how "unfair" everything is
Except when we bothered, the Congress didn't listen. TARP bailouts were opposed by 75% of Americans and Obamacare by 70%, and yet the representatives shoved it through anyway. They don't care what the Demos thinks..... they are serving their corporate masters (Federal Reserve banks, Insurance & HMOs). Not us. Democracy doesn't work when the voice of the people is not heard.
Obviously you've never read the Constitution. It forbids the imposition of cruel or unusual punishment. Fining a student $750,000 for downloading a song certainly fits the bill of "unusual" punishment. Copyright was created to protect an artist's income, not to bankrupt a citizen.
>>> running around like an over-caffeinated teabagger
Not really. Historically the Supreme Court has left decisions to the lower-level State and Circuit Courts, while they maintain a hands-off policy. They only hear a case where there is discrepancy (multiple union courts reaching opposite conclusions) in order to set an official precedent for the union judges.
If anything I would say the Supreme Court and its lower branches have shown FAR more fidelity to the constitution than the other 2 branches, or the Member States, which often act as if the Constitution does not exist.
Owing ~$700,000 is like a life sentence of servitude towards RIAA and its CEO/managers.
It will take the rest of this man's life to earn the money & pay it off. And slaves have a right to terminate their masters in order to regain their natural right to freedom. IMHO.

If Opera runs well on Windows, and Firefox runs well on Windows, but Chrome does not, then the problem is chrome and its shitty tendency to open a gaggle of processes like a memory hog.
In other words they want CISPA to pass so google can turn-over User data to the DHS without risk of being sued by the user. Google, like all the other companies, wants the language to specify immunity for themselves.
I tell friends the same, but they don't listen. They don't seem to care that Google is monitoring their travels across the web and building a profile on them.
Opera did that a long, long time ago. Also Chrome put the menu on the right side. I remember when Netscape 6/7 did that, and they were roundly criticized for violating Windows Usability Standards (species left location). But google? It's okay for them.
>>>fast
Slow as snails on my PC due to opening ~9 different processes (silly) and hogging memory (poor coding). I still use Firefox because it doesn't randomly freeze-up for 30 seconds.
>>>it doesn't have a propensity to crash
Yeah Chrome doesn't crash for me either. It just doesn't respond for 5 minutes (usually with a popup asking if I want to kill all my open tabs). Eventually I get fed-up and force a close via Task Manager, just as if the browser had crashed.
>>>We couldn't open the tabs you had open last time due to some error, etc.").
I experienced that with Chrome just yesterday, except where Firefox lets you recover the broken tabs, Chrome just erased them!:-(
I'm not sure what to think. I've wanted Microsoft to lose its dominance ever since it eclipsed Netscape browser in 1999, but to replace one evil company that abuses it users, with another evil company that spies on people, is like a pyrrhic victory.
>>If I were a shareholder before the IPO and the per share price would had doubled, that would mean half of my potential profit and ownership lost
I don't understand. If I was a Facebook employee (for example) and the shares the company gave me jumped from $38 to $76, wouldn't that be good for me?
>>>>> When they start arresting people for choosing to drink natural milk, then they've gone too far and need to be downsized. >>> >>>a real technocrat would be concerned about milk of any kind is labelled accurately so that customers know what they're buying.
Yeah nice try but "real" technocrats are gathering shopping lists from organic stores, sending cops to the addresses, forcing their way into homes, and either taking the natural milk and in some extreme cases, arresting people or taking their kids.
If you can sit there and say these "real technocrats" are doign nothing wrong..... just doing their job, then I imagine you also thought rounding-up the japanese-Americans by technocrats for WW2 imprisonment was a-okay too.
They've improved quite a bit. I watched a coworker start his new VW Passat in a cold New England winter (about 0 F). It only took half a second for the glowplugs to heat up the chamber. And the car started immediately (faster than my gas car which takes several turnovers) with no visible exhaust.
As for cleanliness, modern VWs meet the LEV-2 standard which is 95% cleaner than the old mid-80s standards. VW claims it could make its cars meet SULEV standard if it added a PM filter, but for now is satisfied with being a low-emission vehicle.
And finally diesel horsepower: 120 hp on the low end, 200 on the bigger cars. That's more power than my gasoline car has.
>>>Is this not the whole bluetec / clean diesel which is now being mandated in all new trucks?
I don't know. Do you have to add Urea to your truck every ~50,000 miles. Because that what the PM "burnoff" filters use to neutralize the soot. If you don't have to add urea, then you don't have the filter.
>>>I really hate the "MY kids" argument. Your kids are not your property. They are independent human beings, and properly belong to themselves. You are merely a caretaker until they are of age to decide for themselves. >>>
Exactly. *I* am the caretaker, and they came from my body, therefore I care more about my kids wellbeing than some stranger in the state legislature. DUH. Why do liberal-lovers of government always overlook the obvious? PARENTS should be the primary decision maker of the individuals that sprung from their body, not some bureaufuck in the legislature. Parents care about their children. Bureaucrats don't give a damn except collecting a paycheck and acting like control freaks.
Commodore bought MOS in 1976, and it was renamed Commodore Semiconductor Group. That is why CEO Jack Tramel was able to undersell the competition at about half the cost. He gave the 6502s to himself for free within Commodore, while charging Atari and Apple regular price for their computer/disk drive CPUs.
"Business is war" was his motto and he used every advantage to become the best-selling computer of all time (~20 million units). It's a shame that he died and almost nobody talked about his contributions as CEO of Commodore, Amiga, and later Atari (meanwhile they treated Jobs like the messiah of computing).
>>>Sounds like they're trying to help people figure out how to USE the internet to their benefit, not how to censor it. Did you read a completely different article?
I guess. "Despite this new openness, the rabbis involved insist they still oppose the Internet. 'The purpose of the [gathering] is for people to realize how terrible the Internet is and, of course, the best thing for every [good Jew] is not to allow it in his home at all,' Rabbi Matisyahu Salomon told the Brooklyn Orthodox daily Hamodia. Salomon, spiritual guide of Beth Medrash Govoha, a large and prominent ultra-Orthodox yeshiva in Lakewood, N.J., is one of the lead sponsors of the CitiField rally. Internet without a filter, he told the paper, is 'treif gamur,' or completely unkosher."

Netscape/Mozilla did it when they were dominant. Microsoft did it too. Now it's google's turn.
BTW both those companies are good examples of how no monopoly lasts forever. New upstarts come-along and end the monopoly.

Ooops. I should have known that (from the name).
Apple II released
Commodore PET released
TRS-80 (which became the #1 selling computer of the 70s)
Atari VCS/2600 (#1 selling console of 1977-84)
All ran on the same Commodore Semiconductor Group 6502 (or variant) processor.
