Some stuff needs to be stored for 15 years. At 0.004 a month per page, that's $0.72 per page. At that price, it's WAY cheaper to have someone remove the staples and scan it in locally, and not be dependent on them staying in business, not getting hacked, or raising prices.
Prison != solitary confinement. That would be far too expensive. You get to see sunrises and sunsets, you get to play sports, you get your 3 square meals a day and all medical expenses covered. And if you think that "joining a motorcycle club" is just about riding motor cycles, you need to talk to a few Satan's Choice or Hells Angels members. The clubs function just fine in prisons, controlling much of the drug trade.
For the homeless, prison looks like a damn fine deal.
Again, that's not a severance package. Stop with the bullshit. Your own words betray you - "you may be offered, say three months pay in exchange for staying an extra month to train replacements", and then you say "and of course a new and separate contract" - and that your refusal doesn't jeopardize your entitlements under your current contract.
You're free to tell them to go f*ck themselves (and if you had ANY integrity, you would, so as not to undercut your fellow co-workers). But IT workers in general are gutless wonders who think they're "too good" to unionize or otherwise organize themselves, unlike doctors who are protected by their union (aka "professional governing body").
F*cking liar. The KKK is still around. Or go see what Christians are doing in parts of Africa. It includes killing people. And christians have a much longer history of torturing or killing people they disagree with than muslims.
Christian terrorists have existed in the US since its' founding - and have killed more people in the US than foreign-born terrorists. And the latest London attack was by someone born in the UK.
Nuclear warfare has been pretty much inevitable since the start of the cold war. That's a genie that humans won't be willing to put in a bottle because people are stupid as shit.
The "most imminent threat" is not North Korea. Any N. Korean nuclear strike would not cause crippling damage, and the retaliation would be pretty quick, and completely remove NK as a threat.
Both Kim Jong Un and Trump are in a contest to see who can take the title for Crazy Leader with Bad Hair - and Trump, at this point, is clearly in the lead. Trump has surrounded himself with people who will profit greatly from any war, as well as jeebus freaks who believe it's their manifest destiny to start armageddon. Of the two, Trump is the clear and present danger. But he's also the world's laughingstock.
Global Thermonuclear Warfare. Nuclear winter and vast reductions in population will restore the ice caps, as well as permanently remove the "terrorist" threat. Of course, that will also make him the world's biggest terrorist, but you can be sure he's okay with being #1 at something other than "World's Biggest Loser."
htlm5 canvas is part of the web browser, so it's inherently as strong as the weakest link in the chain - and it sucks up WAY more cpu than flash ever did. Short answer - you're fscked either way.
A "new additional contract" is not a severance package. It's a "new additional contract." And like ALL contracts, you have the right to not enter into it, with no penalties (penalties would be considered as coercion, invalidating consent - and NO proposed penalty can deprive you of your statutory rights, same as you can't enter into a contract to sell your firstborn into slavery).
Also, a potential employer asking your former employer if they would provide a letter of reference for you is highly inappropriate. Anyone pulling that shit can expect a lawsuit for invasion of privacy.
What's wrong is that Trump thinks that individual countries pay into some sort of "NATO fund", and that the US deserves more payments from that imaginary fund. He's a fucktard who's giving Kim Jong Un a race for the title of Craziest Wannabe Tyrant with Bad Hair. And he's winning.
Earth civilization sounds like an interesting idea in concept, but do you think it will ever be feasible?
No. At least, not with humans. Maybe the next species will learn from our mistakes. Problem is, to rise to the apex, you need aggression. So be very, very afraid of first contact with aliens that come visiting - they are going to have a lot more experience at being aggressive, whether they are biological or robotic.
People don't always type using the same method. Sometimes a touch typist will have a cup in one hand and hunt-n-peck with the other. Gestures are crap. I give the whole concept the middle finger gesture.
What do you mean "if"? They're already outsourcing. Unionizing would slow the process down by making it easier for workers to refuse to train their replacements.
I have NEVER gotten my news from American media. Not Fox, not CNN, etc. 95% of the world are not Americans, and have seen first-hand just how full of sh*t and how eager to self-censor your media are.
There are different "means of production." You might have the means of production for a screwdriver, but if you want milk, you'll have to know someone with the means of production for milk, or who knows someone who knows someone, etc. It would give rise to a barter or gift or volunteer economy. One of the reasons retired people are into volunteer work is because NOT working is f*ing boring.
"Source of significant and easy funding?" So you're going to finally stop subsidizing Israel's war efforts? Hey, that could certainly incentivize Israel to finally make peace instead of faking it just enough to keep people thinking that maybe there's a hope in hell that Israel wants peace.
As for Trump's claim that Germany needs to pay the US more for defence, Germany doesn't pay the US for defence. Trump doesn't understand how NATO works. Same as he doesn't understand the difference between truth and lies.
I wouldn't call many Trump followers civilized. Neither is Trump. As for happiness, there are people who are unhappy in the US who can either illegally enter Canada as refugees, or legally move to Canada. In doing so, they will be removing unhappy people from America and, once they are in Canada and happy, add to the number of happy people in Canada.
Au contraire, billion-dollar businesses can disappear in a flash. Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC is one such example - he owes $170 billion in restitution, based on a fraud of over $60 billion. At one point he was the largest trader of NYSE-listed stocks in the world, doing up to 15% of all trades. $740 million a day in trades isn't chicken feed.
First, if programmers had had enough guts to unionize, they wouldn't have been in the position of having to train their H1B or offshore replacements. But no, unions are for blue-collar workers (blue collar jobs) and pink collar jobs only - white collar workers are too good for that.
Second, how long will it take to pass a law banning drivers from forming a union? Probably about as quickly as Indiana passed a law banning cities from regulating airbnb rentals. Welcome to Trumpville, where money counts for more than people, and you are nothing if you're "just" a citizen.
Excellent points. We could also apply this to the space program. Mercury, Gemini, Apollo - designed to do something on a rush basis (less than a decade from scratch to the moon), and amazingly successful. The space shuttle? Immediately compromised by the need to do polar orbits for military spy missions.
Laser weapons, which complement traditional kinetic weapons in the battlefield, will one day protect against threats such as "swarms of drones" or a flurry of rockets and mortars, Lockheed said.

No, they did not "start about the same time." Islam got it's start in the 7th century.

You mean one that doesn't run in a web browser or on a phone that no longer gets updates (that's most phones)? Web developers are shit at security.

I was a member of the Steelworkers at one job, and it wasn't that hard to put the gears to another union member who was being a bit of an asshole.

There's no need to do text-to-speech if you're already transmitting the audio stream, duh!
