My wife is Cuban. I live with my in-laws in Miami who are very much Cuban immigrants and don't speak any English.
I speak some Spanish. They get all their health care for free. As do the illegal migrant Mexicans my wife's grandmother employs on her farm in Homestead.
So, Nick Gorton, the next time you want to accuse someone of being a racist, make sure you look through the Internet machine to make sure the person you're accusing isn't actually multi-cultural up the wazoo! And don't think because you work with some "Latinas" that you get to plant the flag for diversity. Dumb shit!
My point was, it's just not remotely kosher that I get a bill, and illegal and some legal immigrants don't. Jackass.
much in the same way that putting unpaid medical bills on a person's credit report is not quite ethical. Lest we forget that medical bills aren't something you go into saying, "I know I can't afford to get healthy, but I'm still doing it!"
A hospital sent me to a collection agency for a $2000 bill on a one night ER visit. I had a stomach virus. I was dehydrated and would have died without IV fluids. now it's on my credit report.
That is not a bad debt. I don't owe that debt at all. If my name was rodriguez and I didn't speak english, I wouldn't have been charged at all.
At most places, if you have down time, management thinks 1 of 2 things: 1.) You're job is too easy and you need more work, or 2.) you're not working at all and you get yelled at.
During down time, try to look busy.
I used to work for a guy who was the president of the company, and thought of himself as a sort of royalty. I was a Unix/windows admin/helpdesk/database admin/tech support.
I would come in at 10:30 and finish my daily workload around 3:30 including daily projects he would give on a whim, such as "design this database for me". Usually, I would stick around until 6:00 to finish up extra projects he asked me to do.
He thought because I was coming in at 10:30, I was cheating him out of work. He then made me punch a time clock just to punish me.
Any time after finishing tasks, I had to look busy, he really thought I wasn't working hard enough.
Since it was a medical billing company, he started asking me to fill in my down time by doing data processing.
What a tool. Goes to show you, down time can really be rough.
I'm not fying on any damn plane that needs a fucking software firewall!
Here's the simple solution to make it safe. Add a second telemetry mast. Have the passenger entertainment system run its outboard communications on a completely separate frequency.
She is, however, far more interested in reading about the game ratings than 99% of moms out there.
Most moms think "he wants this game, so I'll get it for him".
My old man retired from the computer industry to work at walmart (cause it's the law). He constantly turns away moms trying to buy M rated games for their kids. He explains that the game is rated M and it's not meant for minors.
Most moms say "oh, it's for me", because most moms are bad parents.
I commend her for taking the time to read about games and their ratings.
They have been screwing up mixes since the early nineties way before mp3s were prevalent. Fidelity was a thing of the past way back in the past. Mixing engineers first compensated for everyone's crappy speakers and little tinny headphones. Then they started doing it for mobiles and mp3s. This is all at the hands of some moronic producer who doesn't understand quality. Compare anything mixed after 1990 with "Dark Side of the Moon". Nothing stacks up. Case in point. Norah Jones. Her first album was mixed very well. Her second album was mixed by someone with no concept of fidelity. And, yes, I have the system to fully enjoy it. My headphones alone can handle more of the spectrum than the human ears can.
Producers don't care about the music or quality or fidelity anymore. It's all about the dollar. "What can I sell to people?" This is part of the reason why I don't buy music anymore. The last two CDs I bought were both Paul McCartney albums. (Though "memory almost full" is pretty crappy.) I occasionally buy singles from itunes but that's it.
While I have to agree about the speed trap lasers, (there really is a lawsuit waiting to happen), Shining a laser of any kind at any vehicle is just a dumb idea.
I also agree about the pilot. I think the cops are big fucking liars when it comes to stuff like this.
Slashdot Mirror
The 44% is the number which they have been using to influence the U.S. congress.
A number below 15% is just too large of a margin.
This is an outrage and my congressperson ought to be ashamed of herself for buying into this crap.
WOW, what a self-righteous douche you are!

why?
They should be on their own darknet. Perhaps through POWERLINES?
These industries are stupid. And why should we believe anything the CIA says?
Mine was in Boca Raton, FL and the guy was cuban.

AMEN!
I've been saying this for years.
Games aren't just for kids.
It's a billion dollar industry. Move over hollywood!

Ask for a refund. If they refuse, just sue them.
What jury would back them?
You paid money for a "product". You changed hardware and their product no longer worked. They told you "tough luck".
What if your DVDs didn't work in your new DVD player? Would they tell you "tough luck"?
I don't care what legalese gobbledy-gook you had to agree to. The common sense says, if you buy a product, you expect it to work.
When I heard it was vista-only, I steered clear.
Microsoft completely sabotaged Shadowrun with their vista turd program.
I don't even know how the game is, though it looked dumb.
When will a respected RPG company make another good Shadowrun game?
The last good one I played was for sega genesis. The super-nintendo version wasn't as good.

I can pick up most things just by observing. There are exceptions however like reading music.
so, educators who like people to "practice" their boring subjects, listen up. busy work and repetition are different.
Then the RIAA wil fully realize that judges and the law aren't on their side.
The authentication process will be scrutinized and other potential fakes will also come to light.
Christies will be ruined unless they settle out of court for millions.

I like to think that my music is mixed well.
didn't real world kill the video star?
MTV hasn't played music in well over a decade.
If anyone killed the music industry, it's MTV.
I'll just aim my crossbow for the fleshy part in front of the monitor. problem solved! ;p

I write mine every time I read about one of these monstrosity bills before congress.
She never writes back or calls, so I can only gather that I have no representation in congress.
I'm informed about copyright issues. I wish my congressperson was.
since they think the world is only 6000 years old, there can't be aliens.
They think we're unique in the universe.
I think we don't yet know what lies in the murky depths of space and beyond!
he better clean it up. No one likes a sloppy whore.
There's no free software. Just surveys and spyware.
nice headline asses!
stay the fuck off my http stream. Injecting something else is Illegal in the U.S. It's a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act.
Intellectual property and copyright are not even in the same time zone.
Copyright is something meant to protect authors, artists, and inventors from being ripped off.
Intellectual property is quasi-property. It's a concept or idea that is a concept of something tangible which is intangible.
They are not related at all. I don't see how films could be copyrighted or IP. If they are copyrighted, they are not IP.
and, if they are IP, they cannot be copyrighted.
That's the point genius.
