And they were legit. I know a handful of people who lost jobs and girlfriends over WoW. Everquest too.. This doesn't mean I support regulation by the state, as those jackholes don't exactly have a good record when it comes to regulation. But, we have to acknowledge that these games affect some percentage of the population in a very negative way.
The vast majority of people are not alcoholics, yet a sizable percentage of the population is. Some things, that don't have a negative effect on MOST people, can have a serious effect on SOME people.
Ignore the WORK FOR HIRE. I dunno why I typed that.. I meant "Work done while under employment". Just had an argument with another person regarding independent contractors and I think my brain is still there.
If you think for a second that your name will be on whatever you've coded up for them, you're a fool.
What is your point? If you're an employee of XYZ corp, you don't get to have your name on the product either. Work for hire is owned by the company cutting the paychecks. Sure you might end up in the credits, but Activision is under no obligation to do so. If you're going to a school, that you are being PAID to attend, you're an employee, Jack..
Then pay for your education upfront. This isn't a bad deal for someone who has no money. Investors expect to make a profit. Hell, all college is is an investment in your education. You fork over huge sums of money and hope that later you'll get a job that pays well enough to make it a worthwhile investment. This removes the gamble for YOU. If you get a shitty job, they'll lose a ton of money..
The lease states who is allowed to use the unit. Landlords are allowed to enforce those clauses. Anyone not on the lease is trespassing on the landlord's property.
BULLSHIT
Your landlord has no legal right to know who you have over for dinner. He/She has no legal right to know who you brought home to fuck last night. He/She has no legal right to know who you asked to swing by your apartment to pick up your dry cleaning.
Nearly every state in the union has codified the concept of "Quiet Enjoyment" and tenants are entitled to a certain level of privacy.
When you lease/rent a property to another person you surrender a certain level of control over it IN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY
If you want to maintain state-level surveillance and dictatorial control over your property, then don't fucking lease it.
yea maybe cause they don't want landlord to know how many people are living in said apartment or who is coming and going to said apartment. With a keycard/keyfob you they don't know who has it or used it just that it was used. They could instead of using facial software just put a camera at the entrance that imposes who the card/fob is linked to apartment wise. Which would be the same thing as facial software.
You're right! It can't be that they simply don't like the idea of a fucking computer tracking their every goddamn departure and arrival.. They MUST be up to no good.
I have a reason.. It's against the asshats who think that a lilly white country would solve racism. It's provably false.. The Irish, Italians, and Poles (for example) are proof that no matter how white an area is, it won't be white enough. All of them are white and all of them have had some pretty severe discrimination.. Discrimination that wasn't even subtle... "NO IRISH NEED APPLY" signs were pretty common around the late 1800's and early 1900s.
Slashdot is an American company.... The mouth breathers are the assholes who come from other countries and expect us to not use American phrases or sayings.
Right, because under Democrats there aren't layoffs? Of are you implying you want your socialist overlords to make it illegal to lay off people that a company no longer has a use for?
Perhaps we should have tribunals, where every company has to PROVE a job is being eliminated and not outsourced, before we permit an employment to be terminated.
I can't imagine that would have any effect on companies.. It certainly wouldn't make them reluctant to hire short term employees.....
What are you talking about? What state has a law that says you can't discriminate against the unemployed? Nobody is getting around any laws.. They don't exist.. There are seven? protected classes in employment.. Gender, Race, Religion, etc.. Not a single one of them is "Employment Status". So I dunno why you are ranting about companies getting around employment laws..
In other words, if you're a working class stiff you're always under water.
Then start your own business and quit whining. Doesn't have to be a big one.. You could be the sole employee. When you own your own business you'll quickly find that your efforts are rewarded in proportion.
I'm not saying everyone is going to start a successful business, but for those that happen upon the right location, circumstances, and need, the more effort they put in the more money they'll make. It's directly proportional and you aren't making money for someone else who might not put any extra effort in.
Relax. It'll just be used to say blacks stole stuff, then they can shoot them when the reach for their phones because they were in fear for their lives.
Another asshole who thinks blacks get a rough shake... Get the fuck over it.. Generally speaking, blacks kill blacks.. Whites kill whites... Blacks generally rob blacks and whites generally rob whites.. Most people commit crimes in familiar areas.. It is rare for blacks to go to a white neighborhood for crime and it's also rare for whites to go to black areas for crime. You do your crime in areas you know..
Next you'll be trotting out that bullshit about blacks getting more time for crack than whites get for coke.. Which is true but deceptive.. The penalties for METH (popular with whites) and CRACK (popular with blacks) are nearly IDENTICAL.
Every bit of paper that is made in the western world today is made from a tree that was planted to be paper, specifically. Nobody is cutting down old growth forests for paper, asshat. That wood is far too valuable and generally ends up as furniture or (insert expensive item here).
but you also can't realistically keep paper receipts for 10+ years either
That's sort of a false issue. Most people who make use of paper receipts to return something do it within 30 days or so. Brushing the issue off by tossing out 'Ten years' sounds like a rationalization.
Uh.. Ever heard of tax records? The IRS can demand receipts for shit you claimed for up to 7 years in the past. So take your "30 days to return shit" and stuff it.
Oh please, you fucking moron. Haters like you will hate.. If this country was 100% white you'd pick a group of whites you didn't think were white enough.. Kinda like when the Irish were hassled back in the late 1800's. Or you'd pick a group of white people who had the wrong religion.. Or... {add any reason here>}.
Assholes like you NEED to hate someone.. It's only about race because it's convenient.. You're too fucking stupid and lazy to hate based on reason.
You can't even get the URL that they are going to with HTTPS, just the IP address.
Bull fucking shit. Plenty of HTTPS sites are on multi site servers. In order for the server to present the proper SSL certificate it needs to know which site you want in the first fucking place.. i.e. it needs the initial request in the clear.
You're either a goddamn liar or a total clueless fuckwit.. Take your pick..
Infallible in matters of faith and dogma.. Otherwise he's just a human.. If you're gonna take a jab at a religion (which is fine) at least know what the fuck you're talking about.
While the Pope does wield considerable influence, you're completely loony to think he could issue a fatwah that Catholics, in general, would obey/honor.
The Church can't even get them to not eat fish on Friday (or whatever the rule is) or forgo premarital fornication. Catholics (and many other faiths) tend to go through the routine without getting all nutty about it.
Yes it is. 1/2 the people on Slashdot are idiots who think the sunlight goes into a bank account (savings account) and then is spent later in the year... All of them are mouth breathers.
Then maybe you should open a fucking book and quit making the rest of us look like moronic isolationists.
Or, at least not announce to the entire internet that you're a moron. This retarded practice has been going on for around a hundred years.. It didn't start yesterday and there's no reason you should be ignorant of it. *Hint* There are places in Asia and South America that observe it too...
It's still Daylight Saving Time. How many times does this have to be repeated? It's not a fucking bank account.. I miss the days when journalists had editors and proofreaders.

Good comeback. Don't address the issue, just say "It's bad over there too!".. Asshole.
It's an apartment if you rent/lease it. It's a Condo if you own it. What the hell does being rich have to do with anything?

They were on the hook for the back pay anyhow. When you purchase a company you assume all of its liabilities and debts. The backpay was not optional.
