Unless you mostly agree with him, you're basically saying that the 8% of unemployed Americans are incompetants, flakes and liars.
I've hired for plenty of positions, and a fairly typical response level would be 40-50 applicants, half of which can be discarded at the resume level immediately. The rest of the resumes get deeper scrutiny, so maybe a dozen or so applicants get the phone call to discuss whether it's in both our interests for them to come in for an interview. Half a dozen interviewees get the technical interview, and if more than one stands out, there'll be a second interview with more of an emphasis on team integration.
Employers do indeed go to great lengths to find the right employee, but in so many ways there are plenty of other people who could have been offered the job without the world ceasing to turn.
Honestly, the ENTIRE wireless contract "market" is a huge scam that feeds off the ignorance of the american consumer.
Which is all fine and well if the OP was comparing the wireless contract market specifically - but he wan't. The comparison was between the wireless market and the wired market. The fact you opted out of the wireless contract options and went for a prepaid option is kinda the point Google is making. How many prepaid, no-contract, wired ISP options do you have where you live?
While I agree, consider the alternative. Without public, verifiable stats who's to say that the police aren't arresting every other person on the street? Or that in a township of 20% blacks the black arrest stats show 80% arrest rate but 20% conviction rate?
I really don't like it myself, but the alternative is worse. The solution is to remove the public stigma of being arrested and then released without conviction - and that ain't gonna happen any time soon.
Neither - I'm not American. I guess that fits your original statement that we "mostly" fit into one of two piles. I guess then, that those not in the "mostly" camp land in some other pile.
So I'll pick pile C) please Bob. Or D)... depending on what the other piles actually are.
When groups like Amnesty and Reporters Without Borders start warning you, it's really time to stop and consider whether what you're doing is really helping or hurting freedom.
I went to amnesty.org and searched for wikileaks. The most recent hit was from 26th July, regarding the original release by wikileaks with Amnesty calling for NATO to provide a clear and unified system for accounting for civilian casualties in Afghanistan. They go on: "The leaked documents support Amnesty International's concern..."
If you could cite the warning from Amnesty to Julian Assange it would help, thanks, else I'll continue to believe what I read on Amnesty's site to be a true reflection of what Amnesty actually has to say on the matter.

On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being Very Bunk and 5 being Not Bunk At All, how would you rate the bunkness of this study?
Wouldn't that be a Provincial matter though?
Reminds me of one of my favourite Canada jokes:
Every nation in attendance at an international symposium on elephants had to deliver a report on the animals.
France's report: "The Love Life of an Elephant."
America saw the economic values in: "Raising Elephants for Fun and Profit."
Great Britain had their own unique view: "The Elephant and the British Empire."
The Canadian report was, of course, typically Canadian... "The Elephant: A Federal or Provincial Responsibility?"
A court might think so, depends on the circumstances. Especially without the "quotes".

There is such a thing as an honest thief.
Yeah, I could probably google this, but ... please explain further.
From which part of Iran do you come from?
?
I was heartily in favour of Boobquake.
(PS thanks for that extra 'from'. I shall use it as soon as I can)
Don't forget to open the emergency exit chute first.
Links please :)

No Mr Bond, I expect you to fry
Then you do some research and you find out what that ISP's average speeds are in your area.
Excellent, I'll just go to my computer and google for ... ... wait, what?
I think you give up a right to privacy when you steal a computer.
And *I* think the 4th Amendment says otherwise. Get a warrant, *then* snoop away.
But then there are also places like Spitsbergen and Greenland - count those in and the centre of Europe shifts further up north
Physiographically, Greenland is a part of the continent of North America.
Hey, we didn't start the fire.
I don't know what that means, but I assume it's offensive and I preemptively strike you, George Bush style with an = sign.
We didn't start the fire
There is no U.S. education system. Systems are for Socialists. Here, we have local control and we like it!
I'll take this one, Alex.
Who is Arne Duncan?
I remember being taught longhand addition, but our teacher gave us tests in the following format:
123
456+
-----
===
There was exactly one linespace between ----- and ===== ...
Also, I didn't realise until now, that the addition or subtraction sign went on the right
Your tutor wasn't very good then. In your BASIC lessons you should have been taught:
LET a = a + 1
It becomes clearer much quicker that way.
What's this "calculator" of which you speak? Is it like calc.exe where one presses the Enter key to get the answer?
It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.
One or two people have noted that us Brits tend to understate things a wee bit.

And on Tuesday, an Amnesty offical is quoted as saying 'that while other human rights groups had also sent a joint letter to WikiLeaks, Amnesty was not among its signatories.'
