Shuffling hours between weeks isn't illeagle if the employee knows about it. I work what is called a 9/80 shift where I work 9 hours a day for 8 days and 8 hours for 1 day and then I get every other Friday off work. Even though I am paid weekly 4 hours gets transfered to the next week.
So I don't know if the author really looked up the facts on his last statement, because we are a contractor for the government so the monitor all of our time cards, so they can tell if they are getting their moneys worth or not.
Yes I beleive this is a nessisary step. Last year I found out that there were 3 domains registered to me that were being used as spamming domains. By registered to me I am saying they used my name and address in the WHIOS database. When I brought this to the attention of Network Solutions, they put me though a huge ordeal of faxing. Yes faxing, what kind of tech company uses faxes anymore. Well I digress. I think this is important because I don't want my name on anything that sends out spam.
This is a very good thing. Most if not all cable companies offer a basic setup, which they don't advertise, which is usually channels 0-(~25). Usually that includes the network channels, a couple special channels, (UPN, USA, Travel, Animal Planet, about 3-4 Non-English). Stuff people don't usually watch. Usually for a fraction of the price for about 15.00 a month.
Many local channels are broadcast over the air waves in HDTV. I know a ton of CBS channels come through in HDTV, and many from NBC and ABC. So you could probably get them for the price of an antenna and a couple mounting screws.
McCain is actually comeing out with a law that I can back and get behind. There is no reason that I need the hispanic channel, since I don't speak spanish, or the plethera of other channels that don't do me any good. I am not being a bigot, I just don't think I should have to support a channel with my money that I cannot even understand. Why do I need to support a local Philly channel that broadcasts local news in spannish, this is a channel that wouldn't survive with out it being forced onto the public.
Anyways back to my original point, there is no need for a ton of the channels out there. I would rather have the ability to pick the channels I want. I want Sci-Fi, Commedy Central, History, TLC, Discovery, USA, TBS, TNN, and the local channels. I don't want two channels of NBC, Travel, Animal Planet, the 5 non-english channels, and the religious channel.
I think this is a great thing. It is about time this happened. This bill from McCain would start to make up for the limiting of Free speach that was passed by the McCain - Finegold Bill last year.
I always beleive quotes when there are "..." in them. Come on this was taken out of context, or at least the quote was crafted to give a false statement.
Well you know a good way to prevent this is get a good virus scanner. I know Norton activly scans anything that hits the harddrive, and it always catches the viruse as I click the e-mail.
I thought this was a pretty simple concept, but I guess not.:)
I think MS should set a precedent, and pull all copies of Windows from EU contries for 2.5 years and see what kind of uproar ensues when the grandmother, stockbroker, storeclerk, engineer, software developer (yes there are windows software developer in Europe), and who ever.
I garonttee the EU would be getting daily calls from all levels of the population demanding Microsoft be allowed to sell their software how ever then want in Europe.
MS should set the precedent that it is not a punching bag and a cash machine for countries that are trying to make a quick dollar.
I agree and most likely the computer stores would be running "bargains" anyways that say buy windows and get the resource CD for free. And all that it has cost MS is 1 euro per product sold.

I totally agree with you the only way socialism/communism *acutally* works is if the whole monitary system gets thrown out the window, and every body works for the common advancement of the human rase. Like that is ever going to happen, trading sheep is a monitary practice. Trading bread for fish is a monitary practice. It is never going to go away so communism and socialism is never going to work.
Plus I beleive if you feed a man he eats for a day, if you teach a man to fish he eats for his life. I don't beleive in giving money away, I beleive in teaching people skills so they can earn their own keep.

Yeah I know, but the actions more resemble those of the communist party than the socialist party. Just as the democrats in the US resemble more of the socialist party than the democrats of the 50's and earlier. If you don't beleive me on this read Zell Millers new book, "A National Party No More".

You know in all truth I ment Jupitor but wrote Saturn. Uranus is a good 2 billion km's from Jupiter and a good 2.5 billion km's from earth, so I highly doubt your math on the radiation. (http://www.nineplanets.org/nineplanets.html) Also for you information Saturn is 600 million km's from Jupiter.

Okay my mistake, it still is a somewhat valid statment. Because of radiation from space, in addition to the radiation from Jupiter, be it smaller than Satern, but it still is there.
I think we should start spending more money on the search for intelligent life on earth, because this article poster contributes to the notion that their is none.

What is happening today, first we have the CA government getting out witted by a 14 year old. Now we have some moron bitching about drilling on another planets moon because it might contaminate a sulfer filled ocean with what is probably a very mild case of raditation from a probe. In addition the moon probably gets way more raditation from Saturn and the sun than what it is going to get from the probe.
What's next, is Spain going to elect a socialist/communist leader as head of the country. Oh yeah that already happened.
I really feel the end is near anybody else with me on this?
Yeah like you said, when C/C++ stops getting used for applications and daemon's, it will be a great day. And I think that is what he ment by C++ is dead. There is always going to be a place for C++ at the low-level of programming that needs quick and fast processing, like Kernel's, Missle Guidence Systems, etc.
But for the front end on most new projects that are getting started they aren't C++, they are Java, Python,.Net, PHP, and I am sure I am missing a couple but you get the point. C++ may still bwe getting used for apache, KDE, Samba, XFree86, but look at the history of those programs, most of them are 7+ years old. Java was just in it's infancy 7+ years ago. In addition there wasn't much in the way of development options on Linux 7+ years ago either.
C++ is dead for the front/user-end. Because as applications start moving to the web and the desktop and internet get an even blurry line between which is what. What I am trying to say is that in the next 5 years your desktop is going to be a more of a client for the internet than a seperate entity from the internet. As most of us know C++ isn't the best language for programming web applications or even applications that need a good, solid, feature rich, interface.
This guy that wrote this article doesn't really have any clue. He said he is looking at the Next Generation of E-mail clients yet he is a version behind with Outlook. Also many of the things he said wasn't included in Outlook have been included in Outlook since Outlook 97. He probably didn't even look, but I don't know how you couldn't have seen them because they are right on the title bar or in the admin options.
