I think that work benefits might have something to do with it. Maybe there needs to be legislation that prevents any distinction between part-time and full-time workers. We all get to earn benefits based on the hours that we worked.
Also, the current overtime benefits are not disincentives to overtime work. I think that overtime should start at 6 hours. Every hour should result in double the day's pay. The idea is that overtime is really meant for absolute emergencies. By that, I don't mean late deadlines. I mean, actual safety emergencies.
Current models are built around how much time we can spend at work. They should be built around how much we can do with a fixed amount of time.
There are lots of things that we can do.
Severance packages should include free education, and the money for former employees to support themselves, during that education. I'm not a socialist, or a liberal, but the idea is that company decisions have far reaching implications, and the lower level workers just can't fluidly change careers.

I realize that my suggestions don't fit into your definition, but because of the structured contexts, "free" really does help to clarify the requirements for interactions.
On the other hand, it doesn't work so well in education or other government services.
Good on her, for the word correction, but I think that she chose the wrong word. Looking into a class shouldn't distract. It's the walking past that would do it. "Disturb" might be better, in that it might make students inside the class wonder why they are being looked at. Before they even notice that they are being looked at, they are being distracted.
I think that they both chose the words that reflected what they are trying to communicate, but the fact is that looking doesn't distract.
Interesting. I never really thought about that specific use. I just tried dragging something into Hotmail, after you click that "Choose" button, and it seems to work well. I think that I might start using the Desktop like that, more often. I'll probably clean it out, more often than not. Thanks for your example.
The negativity can be transferred to Olympic competitions: 90% [just picking a number for the sake of illustration] of Olympic athletes fail to win, thus proving that starting a race causes losers. The logical perspective is that starting a race has no influence on whether or not you lose, but not starting causes you to not win.
People don't like writing customized resumes or cover letters, because it would be equivalent to being forced to respond to each of those 200 emails that you sift through. It's very frustrating to list details that may not make a difference, only to have them ignore our application.
Since we are unemployed, we don't really have a choice, and we should customize, but it is extremely frustrating.
Instead of banning and taxing, the government should require better labelling. That would make it easier for people to decide what to do. After the market has adjusted to the new labelling, then consider things like banning and taxing.
It's not that bad. Prolonged contact with dihydrogen monoxide will cause skin problems, but wearing gloves can help to prevent that. Also, consulting WHMIS and MSDS labels before using this chemical should help to prevent unnecessary accidents.
That is a very clever use of BCC. Thanks for explaining. I would never have thought of it, if it weren't for your examples and explanation. Now, in hindsight, it seems so obvious, but until then, nope.
I'll try to start doing that more, especially since I also need to keep backups of older discussions.
For the backup email address, I might choose a really obscure account name, so that it will be harder for spammers to find my address. I'll try to protect it with a Spamgourmet alias as well.
Are you talking about sending a copy to a different email address of yours? I ask, because if you're talking about keeping a copy in the same account, then it seems simpler to just save a sent copy, which also keeps the attachments. Some services keep the attachments, and some don't.
Also, during discussions, people often make book recommendations. Many of those recommendations have changed my life. People here are actually very clever, and they are remarkably open minded.
It's cool to have enough restraint, so that we end up with all these minutes. I just wish that there was a way to turn these spare minutes into opportunities.
$7 sounds good to me. I'm currently paying $10 + network fees, or something. Even $10 is too much for me, because I rarely use it. Who is your carrier, if you don't mind me asking? I really want the cheapest monthly rate.
Yeah, if there are uncontrollable vents and leaks, the house can become drafty or unevenly heated. Having control over the windows allows you to time when you vent as well.
Argh! I just checked what I wrote *again*, and realized I said, "I'm arguing". That's not what I meant, which is what you seem to have understood.
Why didn't they just crack the windows open? I figure that an upstairs window opened about 1 cm, and a downstairs window also opened the same would do the trick. Even a door shut, but not tight, would probably help. Seriously, do you know why they chose the modifications to the ventilation?

Cool. Thanks.
Will doing that uninstall Kubuntu?
If you get to patent "0", then I get to patent "O".

Maybe they need a book to help explain the new way of minimizing and maximizing. I wonder how it would start.
"So, you have a web browser running, but you can't find it."
Later on, it should provide tips.
"Here are 10 things to remember when minimizing your windows."
I forgot to point out that I tried it with Kubuntu, and Opera.

That's very encouraging news. Thanks for sharing.

Women like to talk in the washroom. I've been told that they have couches in some washrooms.
In China, they have sinks outside of the washrooms, so they don't mind washing their hands in view of other people.
Thank you so much. I'm so used to having a bad browser experience, that I assumed that it was me, or perhaps bad web site code.

I'm arguing with you. I just want to know.
There is plenty of fat in education. Education needs more funding where it counts, but it isn't as if US education needs more as a whole.
It's interesting that any party wanted trimming with the FBI.
I'm not surprised that you never listed the CIA. I noticed that the CIA always seems to lurk around in every dark corner of every major controversy.
