You have to sign for prescriptions now. What's the difference? Nearly all cold medications aren't used for meth production. Some are, and they're trying to keep meth labs from spreading. And know what? It's working in the states that this has been done.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I live in a state where they did this and the incidents of meth labs ARE down. So, wherever you're getting your "facts", they're wrong.
The only "hassle" is signing a book to get the Sudafed. Same book you sign when you get a prescription. Whoop-dee-doo
Those aren't the only risks. The guy in New Zealand is being pretty alarmist in the way he puts things, but is right in at least one respect: If you use Open Source software as part of your own products, be aware of what the license says so you can make an informed decision on whether you're going to be able to use it in the way you want.
I have to say "infectious" is a bit over the top. He probably only did that to get people to talk about it....and well, here we are.
What are the expectations of the person that hired you to do this job in the first place? Why did they think these sysadmins needed a sysadmin of their own? That's where you have to start asking questions.
Why are you surprised? You're in the recruiting business, you know what some of those people are like. This isn't a problem that just happened because people hang out at job sites; Problems with recruiters existed long before the Web.
Most quality candidates don't need to use recruiters either, unless they want to move to an area where they know no one.
Networking is the way many many people get jobs. Reputation and word of month go a long, long way.
Geesh... When are people going to get this right? Iraq and al-Qaeda did have contacts. The 9/11 was no evidence that they planned the 9/11 attacks together, but they did have contact.
Bin Laden also explored possible cooperation with Iraq during his time in Sudan, despite his opposition to Hussein's secular regime. Bin Laden had in fact at one time sponsored anti-Saddam Islamists in Iraqi Kurdistan. The Sudanese, to protect their own ties with Iraq, reportedly persuaded Bin Laden to cease this support and arranged for contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda. A senior Iraqi intelligence officer reportedly made three visits to Sudan, finally meeting Bin Laden in 1994. Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded. There have been reports that contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda also occurred after Bin Laden returned to Afghanistan, but they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship. Two senior Bin Laden associates have adamantly denied that any ties existed between al Qaeda and Iraq. We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States.
How about actually reporting ALL the news that's going on there.
Not just the bad things.
The American people have such a screwed up idea of what that whole country is like... You'd think that ever square inch of that place was ready to explode, rather than what's happening in a relatively small area where Saddam loyalists and jihadists (who came over the border) are right now.
In that particular case, I'm talking about how some in the gay community demonize all Christians. These are the same jokers that talk about tolerance in one breath, and are completely intolerant in the next. Turn this around, and there are some in the religious straight community that demonize all gays, but then say "love your neighbor". Both groups aren't thinking straight.... er, right.
And like I said, this isn't a universal thing. I have quite a few gay friends, and none of them act that way at all. But, there are some in that community that do.
No, I'm pointing out that Democrats on the commission are pushing it, not the Republicans. They're the ones that are bringing it up. The Republicans are just stupid enough to go along with it...
This is just like back in the 80s when Tipper Gore got her panties in a wad, wanting to label CDs with warning stickers. Yeah, that helped a lot.
Well, considering Michael Copps, a Democrat member of the FCC, has almost single handedly driven the Janet Jackson thing to the extreme on TV and radio, and Jonathan Adelstein (also a Democrat) has been pushing for revoking the licenses of radio stations because of his interpretation of obscenity laws then yes, the Democrats have some responsibility for this. That's all in the last five years.
There is more of this too....you know those quaint little stickers on CDs? Tipper Gore's (Al's squeeze), was leading the charge on that back in the day.
This isn't a "one side is doing it and not the other" thing.
"in both cases those people try to force their views on others.."
There are some people in EVERY community that try to force their views on others. Some Islamic people do it. Some Christian people do it. You get in from Republicans, you get it from Democrats. You get it from straight people, you get it from gay people. You get it from Conservatives, you get it from liberals.
Notice I said "some" not "all".
The problem comes in when people are utterly convinced they're right, and the other side are evil for not believing that opinion.
Demonizing the other side is not right, and will get us no where.
The thought of the government mandating the instruction of agenda-based ethics makes my skin crawl.
Uh, this happens all the time. The reason some people apparently don't realize it is that on those other subjects is that they agree with what the government is doing, and the people that don't agree with it are labeled as kooks.
It's not completely restricted, no matter what some people will have you believe. There's even government funding for existing stem cell lines. Funding to create NEW stem cell lines is the only thing that's restricted.
However, the original poster's point stands..... no one in the world has produced any results with embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells, yes. Embryonic, no.
Not only is Skype NOT banned, we have people that have called into conference calls (via Skype-in, and directly to computers in the conference room) to participate.
Why? To point out they haven't done anything to fix the failing Social Security system, and they had no other alternative other than to tax people even more than they are now? Or did I miss some other scheme they came up with? Just being against something all the time isn't a platform. They need ideas, and they're sorely lacking.
Video has a much bigger impact than words. The way commercials are cut these days, all it will take is a line like "Congress failed to fix social security. What was the Democrats reaction?" And roll the video. They'll look very foolish.

That's a complete knee-jerk reaction.

These laws are a good thing.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I live in a state where they did this and the incidents of meth labs ARE down. So, wherever you're getting your "facts", they're wrong.

They've claimed to have the best OS for years too, and we're still waiting for that.
There are times on the weekend when there are over 400 people in the queue on my server, and the wait to get in is 40 minutes.
They need to do some server splits, the way EQ used to do it.
Uh, yeah....right.
If software comes with a license, people should be aware of what it says. That's just common sense. Understand now?
Those aren't the only risks. The guy in New Zealand is being pretty alarmist in the way he puts things, but is right in at least one respect: If you use Open Source software as part of your own products, be aware of what the license says so you can make an informed decision on whether you're going to be able to use it in the way you want.

Better idea:
Let them know where you live, and let them enter that into the program.
If they find anything out about any terrorist activity in your area, they can rig the software to ignore it, as per your wishes.
Oh, but there is. It's Haliburton.

That's from the 9/11 commission report.
Apparently you've never watched the network, because if you had, that's what they actually do.
Watch most Fox bashers don't like is that conservatives actually get to say things on TV.
Sorry, comrade, but in this country everyone has a chance to say what they want. Not just the goon squad you agree with.
You think this "1984" stuff is new? All this "politically correct" speak is exactly the same thing.
How about actually reporting ALL the news that's going on there.
Not just the bad things.
The American people have such a screwed up idea of what that whole country is like... You'd think that ever square inch of that place was ready to explode, rather than what's happening in a relatively small area where Saddam loyalists and jihadists (who came over the border) are right now.
It's even more disingenious to NOT point out that the Democrats are hip deep in this sort of thing too.
And Bush hasn't been hiring for the last 8 years.... learn to count.

Or they could just point out what the Democrats have been doing to black Republicans.
I think that, and the social security video would pretty much sum it up for most voters.
