Google surely gets a lot of revenue from all the non-China markets, too. The question is: how much revenue is enough? I'm thinking that China and Google can become quite prosperous without each other.
So you're saying a farm worker would rather relieve him- or herself in an open field in front of his/her co-workers than walk to the end of a row and use a porta potty. Um, yeah...
What problem are you trying to solve? Have you read food labels lately? What information is missing that would help you in your quest for healthy food?
Forget the article writeup, my first thought was California. All of the illegals working on the fields have no place to "go". Some farms might provide facilities but when the need is there they are too far away. Currently, the field becomes a toilet - be sure to wash that broccoli!!
They have porta potties these days. I assume credit for that goes to the UFW.
It could never happen to me while waiting at lights because I use these things called neutral gear and a handbrake, so I don't warp my brake discs or blind the driver behind with my lights.
What planet are you living on where brake lights blind people?
I dipped the clutch after I realised it was still accelerating after I'd moved my foot off, put it in neutral, and turned the key to 'aux' position to kill the engine without engaging the steering lock, then I steered it off the road.
The car was already in neutral. Why bother shutting the engine off, a risky thing to do in traffic, before getting off the road?
I have taught myself the newer languages, but employers are looking for recent experience.
When it was time to leave my long-time C programming job in 1999, I wanted to hop on the dot-com bubble. I had taught myself Perl but since I didn't have any on-the-job experience with it, employers didn't want me. I finally found a company that would hire me but it didn't work out and two months later I was back on the market. This time I had on-the-job Perl experience, albeit only two months' worth, and employers were falling over themselves trying to interview me. Weird but true. Get that foot in the door somehow.
the other kind of older programmer has just given up. they know better, but they understand
that bitching isn't going to solve anything and they need the health insurance. they look alot
less capable then they are because they just agree with everything and try to get out the door

...lots of people who are apple fans are seriously disappointed with this thing.
Ah but does the iPad appeal to people who are not Apple fans? I ask because there are a lot more of those people. Make a device that appeals to them and you'll make money as fast as it can be printed.
Oh please. Ronald Reagan was governor of the most populous state in the union and look back at the mess he was in at the time of his first State of the Union address. As for Obama being an "intern", he still had more experience than Abraham Lincoln had. Nice try, thanks for playing.
That would be really shocking if there weren't dozens of news stories, with interviews, about how many white voters in the (surprise!) South were devastated that a black man had just been elected President. Not a Democrat. An African-American. Go cry me a river, you reverse-racist troll.
And those of us that, all along, tried pointing out his ignorance and lack of experience were called racists and every other name in the book.
It's the same "ignorance" that Reagan, Clinton, and every other President has had. It's okay. Relax. Nothing prepares you for being President of the United States other than being President of the United States.

Actually, sugar is food for the yeast in bread.
Christ, what the hell happened to personal responsibility?
It was making a comeback a few years ago until Dubya said "Don't blame me. The lawyer said I could." It's gone downhill ever since.

The Apple IIe was a wretched computer with awful software...
Compared to which of its contemporaries?
Apple can not keep up with 10+ manufacturers bringing out new and innovative hardware at a rate of a new phone or two a month.
You mean just like the market Apple entered three years ago? Yeah, they can't possibly compete in a market like that.
A screen you can touch? Like the LG Prada, announced before the IPhone...
I call bullshit. The Prada was announced nine days after the iPhone announcement.
Liberals in America think *public* resources should be used to help others. Conservatives think that private resources should be used.
Did I wake up in a parallel universe where Ike is still President?
The geniuses at Ticketmaster saw nothing wrong with having each CAPTCHA image identified by the same ID over and over?
We in the US are not opposed to single payer health care per se; we are terrified of any possible implementation of it by our government.
Yes because the current system is working so fucking well right now.
Yes, the democrats have nothing but the most altruistic motives in their reform plans.
Can you think of another reason they're going through all the shit and lies that the conservative mob is throwing at them?
Back at you. In my area, a nice HMO wants at least double that for a family of 4. For an HMO. With co-pays. And deductibles.
Actually, that payroll deduction represents only approximately 20% to 40% of the true cost.
Depends on where you work. I've seen it be 10% of the true cost. At the company I'm working for now, it's 100%.

Stop following me around!
And you have citations for this, right?

About the same as Clinton and Reagan. Heck, Clinton lost both houses of Congress the following year and he still ended up more popular than Reagan.

Wow, I can't believe someone in the 21st century actually used the word "Nips" to refer to the Japanese. How, um, quaint.
