seems like quite a tragic waste of time and resources in total which is bad for the economy and society.
Right, that was the whole point of the story. This lady was very professional, and her manager(s) weren't. She had mouths to feed at home. And for the manager, rather than not snooping through computers, and rather than just sucking it up, and not firing someone over some petty words, they decided to take it to the next level. And now that they were sued for doing so, they are less likely to do it again (this is good for all the employees that dare still work there). Sadly most small companies like that learn most through a lawyer's advice, that comes free* with a class-action law suite.

I don't facebook, and recommend that everyone that does, stop. That being said, since it's a thing that so many people do, I recommend that everyone at least open a facebook account (in your real name), set the password to some really long string that you will not remember, and then close the account. This will stop a lot of ridiculous stuff from happening in your name.
This article makes me scratch my head, for all sorts of reasons.
If you have access to the ATM physically, why not just take the cash there and then?
Because there would be a high level of accountability. If you have physical access, and were the guy working on the machine the night before money was missing, you'd be busted. This way, I can be the guy that works on the machine, and you can be the guy that steals all of the money. We meet up and half the cash.
A co-worker sent a message (using a company computer) to another co-worker (using a company computer) detailing how she thought their manager was a bi-ch. That (bi-ch) manager looked on the computer(s) after hours one day and found that message. The next day that manager fired the one employee that spoke ill of her. Reason given was basically, "You don't talk about me like that!" That manager and her manager (the actual office manager) got together and decided that due to the First Amendment, they cannot fire her for that. So that office manager called the lady back, and told her that there was some confusion, and that she was in fact not fired. She was told to come back to work the next day. She came back the next day and both managers fired her for a messy desk.
Luckily the lady had a good friend that was a lawyer. She ended up suing and won a year's salary.
You're 100% correct. And let me add that there are currently (according to google) 1,645 billionaires in the world. Knowing that, we must insert that there are 7.125 billion (7,125,000,000) people in the world. Looking carefully at what it takes to support the life of a billionaire, we find that each billionaire requires a certain amount of people to support them. So just running simple math here, divide 1,645 into 7.125 billion and you get 4,331,307. Does that mean that every billionaire requires 4.331 million people to support their existence? Well, seeing as how money is nothing without attached-debt, I'd say so. No one can have a bunch of money, without a bunch of people in debt.
So not only are people working harder than they were in the 80's, the rich folks are living much more lavishly than they were in the 80's.
On the other hand, bad former-military people were cogs in a machine, and don't see past their prescribed task at all.
I don't think that having been military or not really gives much of a sign of how one will work out.
I think that's the nice way of saying "This article is just wrong."
Founded and led by Dmytro (or Dmitry) Golubov the party claims to be the first Internet party in the world, its slogan is "electronic government against bureaucracy" and it wants to "create an electronic government in Ukraine".
The party was formed between 2006 and 2007, by the alleged Ukrainian hacker, Dmytro Golubov. The founding congress was held on October 1, 2007. On March 1, 2009 in a hotel complex "Magnolia" in Odessa, was held the first official congress of the party.
The vice-president of the Union of Advocates of Ukraine Petro Boyko and Denys Grigorev, world champion from Thai boxing in super-heavyweight are also founding members.
What the world needs is more people like you, to think in different ways, and apply it to something that matters. And it's good that your professors are able to recognize talent in this area. Hopefully funding for future projects won't be an issue. All the best mate!
...what neural structures are present that allow suicide to be done.
I don't think it works like that, as the human will is not physical. I can say though, whenever people start focusing more and more on themselves, that's a for sure sign of being depressed. This is why, if you're depressed, you should go to the ocean and stand at the shore, just stare into the horizon. Or if you don't live near water, just look up at the sky. The point being, it puts into perspective how small you are, as well as how small your problems are.
"All is fair in love and war" can mean anything you want, but here, it would be wise to look at it to mean, "Inspire love rather than war".
So many groups of people aren't satisfied with the current configuration of the financial institution that the US harbors, because it's a debt-based system whereby many many more are in debt than are not.
You're right, but that's a sure grim way of looking at the situation. After all, life is no fault of our own. Suicide is always an attempt at bettering the situation. If you take the stance, "You are weak for thinking over suicide" then if you ever are in the situation where you're thinking over suicide, in a real way, you'd be one of the ones that may actually do it, even if only for looking at yourself as the weakling that you are now calling others.
And the bright ones will FIND something intriguing about the most dull of subjects.
That you even noticed that is great! Not so many people, even that deal with the school atmosphere for years are able to notice that (maybe they act in that direction, but they're not conscious of what they're doing). And so in saying that, you show that you have a real interest in children's learning. Getting to know the kids' interests, and introducing them into the current curriculum, even if just for that one or two students, can drastically improve their "ability to learn".
I like your post, very positive. I'd just like to add that for those that would get close to suicide, when you do finally decide to not do it and direct your attention to "trying again" (at life, not necessarily what you think you failed at), you will be even stronger in your ability to focus on what you want to do, and will find it easier. You'll also find it easier to gain respect from others. This is from experience.

Why is what a good thing?

At least this is how I assume it works.
Did they really have to build a peopless-town? I thought that there were already a few.
In "right to work" states, you can fire someone for no reason at all, but even in these states, if you cite a reason, everything changes.
When a reason is required, everyone has a messy desk.
And then there are countries like France, where you can't fire people at all, not thanks to unions.
Can you elaborate more on that? How is this possible?

No, seriously people... go stand by the stairs.
Military and the IT field are pretty much the same thing. If you come out of it alive, you're a hero to someone.
On the other hand, bad former-military people were cogs in a machine, and don't see past their prescribed task at all. I don't think that having been military or not really gives much of a sign of how one will work out.

Why can't we have something (a program?) like facebook, without the need for a centralized server? Whoever writes the program first, will be rich.
TV is dead. Long live the Internet.

And it's on, on Saturday.
I like the way you think, because it's insightful. But in this case, who would be the competition to The Federal Reserve?
That work has paid off to an insane degree.
You got a degree in insanity?

There's a good song written by (a fucking genius) Harry Nilsson called "Think About Your Troubles".
