Why do you need a system to evaluate the people who are supposed to be evaluating the game when you could just cut out the middle man and have the system evaluate the game in the first place?
Relax man. All he was saying was that making $100k a year means you are a middle class individual. Your economic status does not declare your moral composition and he never said anything to imply as much.
You wanna detail the problems you've been having? I had a 6035 too. In fact mine is up for sale right now on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&cate gory=38331&item=3029693262
And it only crashed when the weather was really hot outside. Other than that is was as solid as a rock.
The 7135 has crashed more often but nothing catastrophic and I chalk it up to young firmware. The 6035 had reports of issues until the firmware was upgraded a few times.
Also I find the integration to be great on both phones. Want to tell me what issues you are having on that front as well?
How can you know that the virtual world doesn't also have struggle? What if you simply are unable to change your real life for the better? For example there are a ton of trapped housewives who play EQ. They've got kids they can't leave and no careers of their own to support themselves anyway so they're stuck in their lifeless loveless marriages. If the husband doesn't want to work to make it better there isn't much wifey can do. So is she just supposed to sit and take it?
What is it in your mind that makes the "Real World" so superior to the Virtual World? If the the Virtual World brings satisfaction why discard it just to simply "keep it real"?
Why don't you just abandon the IT industry completely and focus on another field?

An inventor is VASTLY more important than a laborer. Laborers are a dime a dozen. Truly brilliant people who can innovate and think up new ideas are very very rare. Thats why those who invent get paid the big bucks while those who impliment and build what the inventors invent get paid peanuts. Either you understand this or you don't.
" Because they know deep down that their salary is only a tiny amount in comparision to that of management. Thus they are likely only to do minimal work to keep their job, just have to stay above the bottom 2-3%."
Just feeling scammed isn't the same as legitimately being scammed. The employer is upfront and honest at the start. They tell you how much you will be paid BEFORE you take the job. If you then accept the job how can you honestly say you were scammed? If the company offers you $10 an hour and then only pays you $4 an hour THEN you've been scammed, because you've been lied to. Scamming is based on dishonesty, lying. Don't try to twist this. Whether the CxO's make 5x, 10x or 500x more than you is wholly irrelevant. Based on your line of re asoning alone some cashier at McDonalds is being scammed simply as long as he feels he is.
If you are not satisfied with the amount of compensation you are getting for your labor you are free to quit and try to find more compensation elsewhere. If that does not work within the same industry then you have the option of training yourself for a new job/industry that offers higher pay.
What I am trying to get across to you is that this is no longer the dot.com 1990's. Programmers are no longer thought of as "A Special Class of Worker". Due to the influx of comp-sci and EE students they're now a dime a dozen, and this isn't even counting the overseas IT counterparts. Supply and demamd. When there is more supply (and there is) of techies, their compensation will decline. There is also less demand for techies then there used to be. This ALSO lowers compensation for the IT field.
Apparently you are one of the last people to get over the initial shock of the crash in the year 2000. YOU ARE NOT WORTH WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE. I'm not even trying to be an asshole about this anymore. A lot of people have royally screwed themselves over because they couldn't get over their own dot.com inflated egos and eat some humble pie.
There IS such a thing as welfare you know. Its PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE to use it if your about to have essential services like ELECTRICITY cut off.
But I mean come on, you don't have any relatives you could move back in with? There's no retail or fast food places you could find work at? Just because you can't get a tech job doesn't mean you should allow yourself to starve.
If each statement you make continues to cause confusion then perhaps you should simply drop the subject and work on your communication skills.
Perhaps you've been spending too much time talking to white collar collegues. That may be why you are unable to "speak clear English".
Delioite and Touche recently came out with a program that enables investors to remove the BUZZWORDS from quarterly reports. You might want look into it.
So you think the 10 people who will do this with you can really make a difference?
And what makes you think everyone wants to force a company to hire expensive American workers which will raise the cost of the product? And don't bitch about how the executives could maintain the price of the product if they would simply take a paycut. Its not their responsibility to take a paycut for their workers, just increase profits and productivity for the shareholders. If they do so then they deserve whatever they get as pay.
Running a Welfare socialist state isn't cheap. It helps to have most of your citizens working as much as possible in order to afford all the social services one has. Since Germans don't like to work long weeks and since the unemployment is so high, it will be funny to watch them be forced to dismantle their vaunted socialist economy and force people to pay directly for what they want or increase the power of employers to hire/fire as they please so as to get the economy moving again.

The founders and investors come up with the idea and the money. Programmers are replaceable and largely interchangeable.
"Advantages to this system include: -Each developer has a interest in the quality of the finished project. -Unproductive people are quickly indentified and elminated. -Since the developers who contribute actually share in the profits, they don't feel like they're being scamed. -Lets disgruntlment, increased productivy, everyone who contributes wins."
Lets dismantle this bit by bis. The developer's interest in finshing a quality product should be his continued employment. How can someone feel they are being scammed if they are earning a SALARY for the labor they give to the company? Its not like they're being paid minimum wage here. Keep in mind the medium US income is only $32,000. Programmers, software developers, code prima donnnas whatever you want to call them make a lot more than that. Unproductive workers can be eliminated via annual code and performance reviews and a policy to terminate the bottom %2-3 percent of employees.
Is a plummer an artist? No. Is an electrical engineer an artist? No. Is an architect an artist? Not usually. Occasionally you those brilliant engineers like the one who designed the Taj Mahal or the Guggenheim but the average architect who designs townhouses or colonials is not an artist. Are programmers artists? Again this is very rare and I would limit it to the realm of video game design. Those guys like John Romero or Carmack are artists. Someone who designs CRM software or web portals or embedded software isn't.
Will the supposed "art" of a programmer be set up in a museum next to a Mozart masterpiece or Leonardo painting? I doubt it. It is NOT art. It is grunt work. Mental labor but labor all the same. And until they start putting factories in museums I don't see why programming should be called art.
I was born and raised in Boston but I still can't figure something out. Is MV the poor island and Nantucket the rich one? I thought there were rich folks on MV too....

Actually Africans ARE black because of their greater exposure to sunlight. Check out the PBS special called "RACE".
I believe you can take it into a Verizon location to have the firmware upgraded although I doubt that will help your car starting issues.

Let your dad be happy. Perhaps he considers his real life unbearably boring and the only escape is a MMORPG.
Other people in his same situation would either committ suicide or kill others. I think EverCrack is the lesser of the previous evils.
Just as soon as good ol Andover.net gets some more money they can start hiring new folks again. As it is they're bleeding money every quarter.

You think that conservatives wouldn't have equally unrealistic ideas and portrayls of life if they were in control of the media?
And just what the fuck is wrong with having some ambition and not being content with what you were born with?
And this is why Christianity sucks. It makes people think that being uselessly judgemental fuckwits is acceptable behaviour.
I was born and raised in Boston but I still can't figure something out. Is MV the poor island and Nantucket the rich one? I thought there were rich folks on MV too....
Its not ageism. Its Westernism.
The companies want to fire all the expensive western coders and hire cheaper 3rd world coders.
Makes good business sense to me.
