If nobody had reported this on the web yet, we wouldn't have a thread to discuss this in, would we? As it is, two separate individuals in this thread have reported this problem in Win2K.
Maybe instead of calling them liars (which is exactly what you're doing, and it's very rude), you could ask for details so you could reproduce the problem yourself.
Please, if you believe that you can successfully collectively bargain against your employer, do so to the best of your ability, but remember that work is just something you should do for 40 hours a week...
The 40 hour work week. Brought to you by collective bargaining and America's Unions.
Because it works in the time domain, it's inherently slower than using separate keys for each symbol. In the time it takes to hold down the key long enough to generate a distinct dash, you could hit a "dash" key at least twice.
Now Grafitti 2, there's a competitor. One stroke generates a symbol, whereas morse takes on average three pulses per symbol. Give me a Grafitti 2 input on my cell phone, and maybe I'd try texting.
Companies are places where people are PAID to spend around a third of their time each workday. That said, my main point is that using the company's resources in a manner not approved of by the company is unethical. Your choices are to abide by the policy, complain (while continuing to abide by the policy), or find other work. In the grand scheme of things work related, internet usage policies are far less important than the creeping increase in work hours and the use of salaried positions to avoid paying overtime.
I'm not treated like a bond slave. I work 40 hours a week, and I give my employer value for money. But when my work hours are up, I LEAVE and go home to my family.
Your workplaces have policies banning webmail and Internet access except through a proxy, and you guys are trying to circumvent it so you can rip CDs? Aren't you at work? Shouldn't you be working? Isn't work why you're getting paid?
Do your personal stuff at home. If you don't like that, quit, or just wait to get fired for cause.
If you read the IOM's report on trans fatty acids, they state that intake should be held as low as possible. The only reason they did not recommend 0 grams a day explicitly is because it would be practically impossible to eat that way. About half the different varieties of packaged foods in supermarkets contain trans fat.
The "recommendation" of 2 grams a day is due to the above factors, as well as political pressure from the food industry.
Now for the food labeling example you give, the gram amounts on labels are rounded. The label may say this:
3g total fat
1g unsaturated
1g saturated
when the actual amounts to two significant digits are this:
3.4g total fat
0.6g unsaturated
0.6g saturated
giving 2.2 grams of trans fat.
Besides which, there is no requirement to label unsaturated fat content, so you're usually left in the dark. I just avoid foods that list partially hydrogenated oils in their ingredients.
An excerpt from the relevant section:
22400. (a) No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow
speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of
traffic unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation,
because of a grade, or in compliance with law.
So, you cannot be ticketed for complying with the speed limit.
"On another tangent, if the traffic is going 80 MPH, and you go 70 MPH on a 60 MPH highway it was possible to get a ticket for going too fast and too slow at the same time. Though usually the court will throw out one of the two."
Show me ONE example where this has happened. Laws cannot be interpreted in such a manner that it is impossible to act lawfully. If you go and read the relevant traffic laws, you will find that under no circumstances can the "prevailing speed" be considered to be greater than the posted speed limit.
Here's my solution that I plan on implementing this week:
Burn favorite DVDs and CDs onto recordable media, and put the originals out of reach. Since now all standalone players in the house and cars play MP3s, I should be able to fit all of my son's favorite music onto one disc, and keep a copy in the DVD changer and both cars.
At this point, you're accusing a Professor of Geology of committing intellectual fraud. That's an extraordinary claim. You will require extraordinary evidence.
1) Provide your evidence that less than 100 million people live within 1 meter of sea level. Looking at the populations of San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, I would say that you have to concede this point.
2) Provide your evidence that the sea level in prior warmer interglacials did not exceed the current level by at least one meter. A perusal of any modern geology textbook would leave you conceding this point. Unless you're a New Earth Creationist, in which case you can fuck right off.
3) Finally, provide your evidence that sea levels do not vary with CO2 levels. I very much look forward to your Episiarch impersonation as you deny the existence of the Greenhouse Effect.
Now, while appeals to authority are often derided, the source of an argument does carry weight. On the one hand, we have an array of professors of geology and climatology. On the other hand, we have a known dopehead who should be doing jail time. Who do you trust with your childrens' livelyhoods?
You should try it sometime. 100 million is the number of people who live within 1 meter of sea level. It's in the article. Sea levels vary with CO2 levels. It's in the article. Modest increases of CO2 - less than the current increase - have led to several meters rise in sea levels. It's in the article.
Advocating doing nothing and continuing to go down in flames needs more justification than the incoherent rantings of some painkiller addict.
While you nerds are quibbling over semantics, Rush "Where's my Oxycontin" Limbaugh and his ilk continue to whitewash the problem and spoonfeed lies to the public. Planet or people, if we don't start doing something about this soon, we're screwed, and our kids are screwed.
And by "doing something" I don't mean hauling your plastic bottles down to the recycling center in the back of your Ford Excursion.
If someone isn't offened by a joke, it probably isn't that funny.
"For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out. Then I filled my humidifier with wax, and now my room is all shiny."
Yeah, you're right. None of Steven Wright's schtick is the least bit funny.

Yes, it has everything to do with IBM. SCO's claim is that their intellectual property was copied into Linux by IBM in a breach of contract.
Novell's claim is that any intellectual property in question actually belongs to Novell, not SCO. If the IP belongs to Novell, then SCO has no basis whatsoever for their lawsuit. Summary judgement time.

One simple statement:
"When my 40 hours are in, I'm going home. Don't like it? Fire me."
Which would you rather be - fired, or 40lbs overweight with high blood pressure and 10 years off of your life?
