But the more important reason to preserve the current rules is a spiritual one.
I believe the words "Fuck off" come to mind as a response. You don't want time away from the silicon, fine, do it, turn off your device. But don't impose your spiritual voodoo on me.
So, Peter Bright, fuck off, because its none f your fucking business whether or not my electronics are turned on or off, and headphones + mp3 player are a good way of ignoring self-righteous assholes like you, even in the last 30 minutes of a flight.
A drawing of a spider from me will cost more than one of their shitty movies. Because I get to set the value for it, not there. Also just like their shitty movies.
The best way to build a case for telecommuting is to find a boss who likes the idea.
Then when they ask you why be truthful and tell them you wanted to telecommute and when you were turned down you decided to look for other opportunities.
The pair of dell's I'm looking at now are fair, but they're still not fucking close to the CRTs I had years ago.
I remember with the IT guys came by and said: "Hey we have these nice plasmas for you, we can upgrade those huge CRTs and get you some more desk space." And they were standardizing on things. Nevermind they didn't actually maintain my systems anyway.
"Umm no, those are about half the resolution I have now, and I don't need the deskspace because everything I need a desk for I do on the computer."
And the fuckers still took them away from me when they moved me when they created the cube farm.
If I were a major stakeholder in a company with valuable IP that had business with China; I would be doing my best to keep that IP completely out of China, and make sure that China was on the consumer side of my business and not the supplier side.
Neither the Chinese nor the American government are doing to do anything should your IP get into Chinese hands and they start doing what they want with it.
Except Ghandi wasn't so stupid as to be surprised that the Brits came after him since he studied law in England, he knew what he was doing, he was making a cause, and he had plenty of local support as well.
You think this guy is going to get the same level of local support in Saudi Arabia that Ghandi had in India against a foreign occupancy?

Give me enough booze and the quality of the food becomes less relevant.
I have a long term prediction for you. No matter how good technology gets, there's one disability that is not going to get fixed:
You can't fix stupid.

Speaking of stopping at the top of escalator: http://xkcd.com/954/
So you give them your lawyer's business card and just don't say anything.
He can't be clean cut, he didn't have the little fish on the back of the truck.
In Texas that's known as the get out of jail free card.

Nothing beats negotiating like 2 weeks notice.
And never take the counter-offer.
Still looking for Spaceballs the Flamethrower, haven't found one yet.
I used it on occasion, just not enough of an occasion for them.
They've certainly lost me as a customer, and I will share this with the rest of my friends and family.
Hopefully the bankrupt company will loose millions even better would be billions in revenue.
With assholes like this, no wonder AA is bankrupt.
After hearing about shit like that, I want to see the whole fucking company liquidated, and the execs burned because their stock is worthless.
Fucking modal windows don't have any place in an application.
Fucking having to cancel out of a modal display to copy-paste what you wanted into it because it didn't happen to be in your clipboard.
The modal option need to fucking die; if your shit required modal, you've fucking done it wrong.
Developers and marketoids have abused that option for too long and they need to have their toy completely taken away.
I gave up on hotmail when M$ took my account away from me because I didn't log in frequently enough.
Of course that's because they were clogging my inbox with spam of their own suggesting that I buy more space.
I would expect this from Alberta, but Ontario?
Awww, you don't like the way other people are developing their games?
Tough shit, do things your own way and let the market decide; and stop whining.
Some of us aren't exactly serious gamers and spend less than 5 hours a week playing video games.
But that's the wonderful thing about the video games, if you don't like a game, you don't have to play it.
I don't have skyrim, and don't plan to get it.
And with conceited attitudes like that, don't expect me to play twisted metal either; there are plenty of other games out there.
Just checked website, looks like they learned their lesson. Looks like they're back up to 2007ish resolutions.
When I last looked at Dull, they weren't putting 1920 x anything on any 15" notebooks.

Cheaper still won't fix the shitty screen resolution, which was a deal breaker for some of us from iPad day 1.
Forget notepad, for Windows use GVim.
My 2+ year old, 15" Sager has 1920 x 1080.
If it happens, its about fucking time they get a decent resolution on it.
Seriously ppi took a big step back when everything went from CRT to LCD.
