First off, I'll ignore your idiocy and assumptions.
The question I was originally getting at is whether or not the value of experience reaches a plateau. Does 40 years of experience bring that much more value to the company than 30 years of experience or do you reach a point of diminishing returns so that the company is no longer getting their money if they give a guy the same % raise over time?
But is that much experience required? What about all of the workers in the middle ground, with ten or twenty years experience opposed to thirty or forty years? There's bound to be plenty of cases where forty years beats twenty, but there's a point of diminishing returns. While you couldn't replace an experienced worker with ten fresh college grads, you might be able to replace one highly experienced worker with one moderately experienced worker plus a fresh grad and pocket ten or twenty thousand.
Yes, but is the experience worth an extra $90,000 a year? The value of experience usually hits a plateau, but workers still want wages to continue increasing.
I was lucky as an IT intern, I was unpaid but given $500 for gas for commuting. For the entire time I was working there. It comes out to about 9 cents per mile and I wasn't given any extra for driving I had to do on the job.
On the bright side, it was a small company so the president would bring in a case of Heineken to share with anyone else working late.
If everybody lives in urban centers, where do you propose we get food, lumber and other natural products from? Unfortunately, our robot overlords aren't up to the task of completely taking over every rural industry just yet. And I say this as someone that has moved from bumfuck nowhere to a city for work. Moron.
Actually, I never cared for most movies or shows by those actors... MacGyver was one of the best... you know, the guy that abhors guns and wouldn't shoot somebody to save his life.
While I realize it's nice and warm, you may want to get your head out of your ass once in a while.
Every character ever played by Richard Dean Anderson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone or Chuck Norris was actually based on Jim Kong Il. There was one time his paper clip snapped in fear while building a nuclear warhead, so Kim Jong Il roundhouse-kicked it. This caused the warhead to go off. Fortunately for us, he was able to subdue the nuclear explosion and stuff it back into the warhead. This is where refurbished nukes comes from.
If your employees are being literally pushed, they should call the local police and file charges. Otherwise, I don't think that word means what you think it means.
You seem to be falling into the same fallacy as the rest of the media industry by assuming that every pirated copy equals a lost sale. Let's take you're number of 5% of users buy it and the other 95% pirate it, so you assume your revenue should be twenty times higher than it is. Speaking as someone that has pirated software in the past when I didn't have the money to pay for it, that's a bullshit way to look at it. Odds are your software is either overpriced, which is the reason so many people pirate stuff like Photoshop, Windows or Office, or else it's just crap, which is why cheap software is often pirated. If you're releasing a $10 software and piracy still accounts for 95% of users then you might want to look at what you're doing wrong. The majority of people have trouble justifying the effort of pirating a $10 program if there's no obstacles to buying it legitimately and the program is actually worth $10.
So they're separated from their mother before they can walk? Otherwise, she's the one training them to use anything that resembles a litter box. If nothing else resembles a litterbox except for the litterbox, then that's what they'll use.
Most cats are trained at a very young age by their mother to use a litterbox. Although they instinctively prefer something with the qualities of a litterbox, there is some training involved in most cases.
I didn't realize you had to call OnStar every time you started your car. You may be doing it wrong.
Your credit card analogy is flawed. First, credit cards are you borrowing someone else's money. Second, debit cards are you accessing your money being held elsewhere. To make it fit the DRM analogy would be needing to swipe your debit card to use money in your wallet... the game is installed locally so you're not using remote content but you still need to check against a remote server.
Non-skippable ads are a far cry from your DVD player calling a server halfway across the country to let you watch a movie. This is a much more acceptable form of DRM than the product crippling DRM Ubisoft requires.
Yes, atoms have a measurable size and all that, but from a *practical* perspective, it's a single point in thickness. As another posted quoted, the atoms behave as if they're in a two dimensional environment. Mathematical concepts don't always translate well into the physical world, but it helps to think of something as being two dimensional if it behaves as if its truly two dimensional.
I believe they're calling it two dimensional because it's the minimum thickness possible, so for practical purposes, the thickness is equal to a single point. You can argue semantics all you want, but if you were to "travel" on a glass sheet, you would only be able to go along the X axis or Y axis - there is no ability to travel along a Z axis that is only a single point.
As far as I'm concerned, Craigslist is doing everything right compared to eBay. Site is simple, fast and easy to use. Craigslist doesn't try to take a cut from the little guy. They have enough oversight to keep it from becoming spammy and to avoid legal hassles, but otherwise leaves it up to the Users.
Is the Craigslist Charitable Fund that donated to the Perl Foundation the same as the Craigslist Foundation?
Any surface or any solid surface? The surface of the moon is a fair bit different than the surface of most of the Earth (water) or the sun, if you can consider it to have a surface.

That's my whole point. Just because they share a part of a kernel doesn't automatically make one vulnerable to every piece of malware on the other.

Go read my original post. I covered the fact that it's instinctive, but is usually helped along by the mother.
Then you should beware of all of the Android malware coming out also infecting your Linux boxes...
Does that mean anyone who hacks a Linux desktop gets their Android phone too? If anyone that hacks a FreeBSD box also gets Mac OS X boxes too?
Errr... virus or viral? Common root, bit of a difference in meaning.

Wouldn't he be denied work there because he can see how bad he really has it?

You wouldn't buy a new car that you had to call the dealer for permission every time you wanted to go for a drive.
You wouldn't buy a handbag that you had to ask the clerk to open for you every time you wanted to take money out.
You wouldn't buy a TV if you had to wait for permission from Time Warner just to watch the commercials.
So why buy DRM?

In 2004, eBay bought a 25% share of Craigslist and is one of three major board members. Newmark is believed to own the largest share.
In 2008, eBay sued Craigslist for "diluting its financial investment" - Craigslist countersued a month later.
