It just means you can streamline all your programs. No welfare, disability, food stamps, pension plan, etc just basic income support so you can feed/provide the most basic housing to the most vulnerable. It'll save money on administering it and then you create tax incentives for businesses to hire people who are on basic income support so they have a vested interest in getting people employed. Some will be content to stay on basic support, those people are not going to be driving the economy regardless but it keeps them out of soft jobs (government, union, etc) where they can gum up the works.
As to the GDP argument, I don't buy it. Part of the problem with capitalism is that the money concentrates at the top, can be moved offshore easily, etc and the most vulnerable don't contribute anything to the economy. Basic support means they're always putting some money back into the economy which is your base - people renting properties to them have that income to re-invest, stores selling goods don't see downturns below a certain level, etc. Apprenticeships become more viable, the internship problem is lessened (meaning businesses paying taxes pay for the interns via basic income support instead of slave labour), and so on. If you compare that to the US model these people are dumped on the street, put on their communities to support which becomes a far more concentrated drain on the local economy and they have to turn to begging/crime/etc to try to get by which means you then need more police/prisons to provide them far more expensive "basic support" in the form of a prison term.
At some point it can reach a breaking point if the entire economy collapses but at the very least you have to tie the $ value to GDP/inflation so that if too many start using it the $ support goes down and tax incentives go up to automatically provide stimulus to get people working again.
This just means there's more demand for skilled workers than h1b's and native talent pool combined.
It means there's more demand for CHEAPER skilled workers than the native talent pool has.
I've heard stories from a technical director at a major American firm where they'd reject PHDs simply because they were worried they'd leave for higher paying jobs elsewhere. Their opinion was "why employ someone who wants more in terms of benefits, vacation, pay, etc when we can bring in someone who is completely under our control, easily replaceable/dismissable as needed, and cheaper". Control is the real crux of it - these workers are completely at the whim of the company because once the company is done with them they can't seek another job they must return home. That lets them abuse the crap out of them and if they complain they get sent home and someone else is brought in to take their place.
I'm waiting for the data mine on specific famous persons and political figures to be published with quite some interest... wonder if anyone is going to be dropping out of the presidential race over it...
I'm thinking more likely Canadian politics is going to be rocked... 1 in 5 people in Ottawa (Canada's capitol) were supposedly members... That's a good chance that a fair number of people seeking re-election right now are going to show up in that database.
You're misunderstanding how it works. A work copyrighted in that manner does not hold any copyright on the public domain material contained within, the additions you've made are copyrighted but that does not affect the core material. ie: I can't duplicate what you've done but I can duplicate my own version of the public domain work with my own changes. To get copyright over the entire contents it must be transformative, in the way that say "10 Things I Hate About You" is a transformative work of "Taming of the Shrew".
Yes, that's called a "transformative work" that's a different thing entirely. You also can't just copy and paste massive chunks - you need to really make it a new work.

The beauty in Minecraft is from your mind. It is the perfect example of weak artistic design and excellent gameplay. Tomb Raider is probably another example of where design has trumped gameplay and the product is a bland, uninspired, pretty, and pretty boring game. My fiance couldn't wait to be done with the new game and return to playing PS1 FF games/original Tomb Raider games/Bioshock.
Insulting, prejudiced, and most of all completely idiotic. "Designer" based games & "greed" based games are driving me away from gaming in a big way. Time after time games have shown that *gameplay* is the most important factor. Designers have their place but if the game sucks at its core there's not going to be a following.
I don't have to find the tools in most cases, the OS does it for me. From fixing file system errors on startup to crash reporting taking me to KB articles with automated tools which repair the problem to simple right click->troubleshoot problems which runs through the gamut of potential problems and automatically repairs them. I'm sure repair tools exist in Linux but I'm not going to go chasing them down/figuring out what terminal command I actually need/the appropriate flags/etc. ANGTFTS.
Sure I lose geek points for not being mr hardcore terminal man, I did that sort of thing when I was young and had too much time on my hands, now I just want it to work.
4 separate times it's been simply configuring options in the GUI that locked up the system/caused oddities/etc and upon rebooting it would only boot directly to a terminal. Once it was downloading a package that nuked everything - not even booting to terminal. Once it was a problem with the wireless card... or at least that's what the log files suggested - never could figure out the problem, just the GUI became painfully slow and I couldn't access the internet.
I'm not trolling, I want to switch to either Windows 7 or Linux very much. The latter just isn't there yet and by the sounds of it systemd has made things worse in the short term. Given the nature of open source it's not surprising either, it's hard enough to keep up with the bugs that are in the default config let alone every combination of settings.

So since the interview process takes 22 days on average now that means the person has 8 days to get an interview to remain legal.

How many days do they have once fired from a company to get someone to take it over?

I believe trademarks are where corporations should be able to protect characters of a franchise that is still being actively monetized.
Congratulations you've just created infinite copyright by that standard.
Public domain just means anyone can use it for free. If you can get some sap to pay money for something that's free, good on you.
i just want you guys to know - i have a very, very large penis. don't be jealous.
Hello my stalker, how are you today? Cowardly as usual I see.
Or the "privacy mode" that recorded sites you visited with blocked plugins: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s... - oh wait, it still does that.
Wrong kind of ass - http://image1.masterfile.com/e... but if that's your thing https://emfguy.files.wordpress...

or does this seem like an ass backwards way of "protecting" privacy?
Why the hell would I know or care about a British business person?

Gameplay is to 'artistic designers' as GUI usability is to 'UX designers'
Completely irrelevant?
Gameplay design is not what "artistic designers" do. The gameplay design is done lone before designers get their hands on it.
