    I'd love to see a reference for you paper folders anecdote. It sure is a strong talking point...
    Management has been very successful at demonizing unions for the past century. Now people are starting to catch on that management is a huge part of the problem as well. May you be as successful with your lies.

    Sure, those catholic schools give out scholarships, but they really go to athletes, or former students fallen on hard times, not students who would love to attend but can't afford it.

    SS is designed to avoid pools of money. That same pool of money your talking about saving is a huge temptation for hucksters and bad relatives. You can have one senior moment, or trust the wrong person and spend the rest of your life in poverty.

    Just in case anyone is taking this serious, it's wrong. VPN packets are encapsulated and sent to the vpn server, unless you have your vpn configured to use the local network instead of forwarding all packets to the vpn.

    You could just as easily worked a labor job that would never give you a raise. Finding one that treats you well is good fortune. The only problem with jobs like that is when they end, eventually, you have to start back at the bottom.

    Yeah, 3 took forever to give up power armor. NV gives it to you in a reasonable time frame. It also has a richer collection of weapons and much better crafting options. Add in the ability to mod weapons and even without the better story line, it's a winner.

    In 3 and New Vegas, they go unconscious but don't die. They might die if you shoot them, but I think that's Skyrim. Some can die after certain storylines are complete. You can also wander too far away when their unconscious or leave them somewhere you don't remember.

  19. The past few companies I worked for provided an annual print-out that showed how much my total package was worth, including benefits. It's ridiculously difficult to compare. The company I'm at now, has better insurance and benefits over all, but their total package shows about $10k less then a company I worked for afew years ago, where I made about $20k less in salary.

    I think companies get screwed around by insurance companies just like we get screwed on salary.

    So, wait, a company can't pay taxes, but it can contribute to political campaigns? Obviously it's the people who run or use services that pay the company, but there are plenty of ways the tax can be allocated inside the company.

    Why shouldn't companies have the freedom to decide if they want the tax to come from their profits, their employees salary, or their customers fees? Isn't that free market at work?

    If you have a basic SuSE install, you can go to http://www.opensuse.org/ click the "get it" button. Then you can search for any package and install with a 1 click installation. It will also give you the option to add the repository so you can get future updates.
