it is your choice how you "dollar vote." There are choices. My cable modem is 2wire. I just called charter and they are replacing my hd dvr/reciever. You choose who you support as a consumer. It is your choice where your money goes and we as consumers have forgoitten that the market can work if we actually take an interest in how we vote these companies into power. You vote to keep people out of work, that is absolutely your choice.
Cant say im surprised after reading their letter to congress. They want to keep Americans unemplyed and sell our jobs overseas.
I truly hope that teh execs at motorla rot in hell with ken lay. (keep people hungry to pad your own bonus, dante didnt even have a layer of hell for that!)
good point. I hope that they do, As for me, I forgot about that. I need to be sure that my roths and 401k are motorla free. Time to make a few moves. If I wont have it in my house I sure wont hold their stocks.
"Motorla, meet worldcom; worldcom, meet motorla... hope yall like each other since yall will be in hell together for a long long time!"
What bothers me most about Motorol's behavior here is that there are people who are not drawing a paycheck. Some are on unemployment and they could be back in the ranks of the employed, spending money and helping our economy... not to mention the personal ramifications of no longer being unemployed... However, Motorola wants to keep these people unemployed. they want to flare their feathers no matter who is hurt in their little a pissing match. We all wonder what went wrong when some ex husband dresses p as santa, goes to his ex wife's fmaily xmas party and kills 8 people, but when a company tries to do the same thing to thousands, we stand idolly by. Because of this action, I will no longer allow any motorola product in my house. period. I have never been an employee of motorola and am not mad because i am one being hurt, but I would want opthers to do this if my former company wanted to keep me poor after laying me off. Stand up, consumers, and let motorola know that it is time to move past the anger stage already.
that is back to the old Marcus rainer arguement of security through obscurity. the problem that he couldnt see is that notifying the masses does not increase the risk of an exploit being used. It increases awareeness so that people are watching for it. It is dangerous to hide away things and hope that nobody looks in that box in the corner. If soembody does lok in the box, not enough eyes are out tthere to see if they used what they found in the dark. The way we got Microsoft and other companies to start things like super tuesday was by pressuring them with tons of people omplaining to them about flaws that we published in bugtraq etc. hopefully this mass awarenes will have the same effect on diebold and the others as well as all state governments and election officials.
ok There were about 100 diffeent comments here i wanted to reply to, so i just decided to combine it into one comment of my own: I have not read his books, but I kow a lot of people who have. many of them are/.'ers. I actually just opened this article to see if it mentioned more about his writing since he came so highly reccomended. I never perceived this article as asking me for money. It is letting those people who have read his works or who hold some respect for him know that he needs help. I am not one of those people so I do not see this article as asking me for anything. There is no reason to get offended by something you CHOSE to read. There is no reason to announce that we dont know this guy (though I am currently basically doign that hehe). It is a good service to let the people who would want to know that this man needs help. Those of us who have not been influenced by him can A) wonder why so many were and go read his books and maybe join their ranks, B)move on to other more flamable threads like HP eavesdropping, or C) sit here and bitch about something that really has absolutely no effect on us at all. I think I will mix a little of A and B together myself.
thanks for the info. that makes it clear as I guess it can be. I dont know where i stand on the issue myself, but sure thin the conservatives would be for it.
Why are these countries opposed to something that would allow contgrol over what most of the conservatives in those countries claim to hate? I would like to find a link to the responses by the countries blocking it if anybody has those in more detail.
if it qas a chance meeting, then it had a chance of happening, and there for in some realm of probabilities had to happen. they just found.. oh nevermind we all read the books.
good point. 22 years hands on and cant recognize an apache default config page. Downloading porn and sermons for sunday school dont make you a computer engineer.
I would have to respectfully disagree that capitolism is means oriented. Capitalism is ends oriented. Make money. Doesnt matter how you do it. I think you are confusing apolitical structure with an economic one. Following the law means nothing to pure capitalist. there should be no laws or rules regulating the economy in their opinion because the market will regulate itself. reach your end and if you are successful at it, repeat the things you did is the only law capitalism follows.
In a recent press conference, Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced that, after careful consideration, the Pentagon and all of its duties would be outsourced over seas.
A recent rash of off shoring, the practice of sending jobs overseas to save money has hit almost every area of the American economy. This recent move, however, is the first time that a whole government agency has been sent off shore. Figures show that over 225 billion dollars could be saved annually with this one action.
2 Companies were in the running for the contract: Halliburton and AlQueda. McClellan said that when it all came down to it, "AlQueda just ran a more efficient proposal. "
According to McClellan, "no Americans would lose their jobs in this move[people] would be relocated to other lacking areas of the government."
Senator Joe Biden from Delaware was quoted as saying, "what the f*ck? I knew George was on drugs but this is insane." Later he retracted that statement and said, "I apologize for my earlier comments that were taken totally out of context. I disagree with this action was the jist of what I was trying to say oh screw it."
In their first act as the decision makers for the Pentagon, AlQueda has ordered a full withdrawal of all troops from Afghanistan. Spokes person Mr. Bin Laden stated, "The removal of troops from Afghanistan will allow us to focus on targets of greater concern."
When asked what these targets were, Mr. Bin Laden merely said, "I cannot comment on matters of jihad, I mean National Security."
President George Bush has come out in support of the new pentagon stating, "Mr. Bin Laden has my full confidence."
When asked about security concerns over the new ownership of the Pentagon, President Bush responded, ""I don't understand why it's OK for a American company to operate our military but not a company from the Middle East when we've already determined security is no longer an issue,"
Upon hearing rumors that congress would try to block AlQueda from continuing to run the Pentagon, President Bush declared, "I will VETO any bill that attempts to hold up operations of AlQueda in the Pentagon."
or maybe they just arent really conservative. They are more along the lines of reagan conservatives.. increase government's roles in your private lives and increase government's size has been the credo of republicans for decades now. more new depaetments ahve ben formed under the past 3 republicans than carter could have ever dreamed.

context is everything. Just because you do something that is good, does not mean that people cannot just publicize part of it and make it look bad.
True but their agreement expired in August.
honestly, not much. But I am positave that when he does die... he will goto a place that would terrify even Baal himself

Maybe we need a job czar to help enforce that iron curtain as well, maybe just a minister of the interior

house note, the thing you pay monthly to make sure your home isnt taken by the bank.
funny how easy that is to say when you dont have a house note, or kids to take care of or for that matter any real responsibilities.
grrr beat me to the punch.
Nice comment
