It's like complaining about not having any drinking water, but refusing to leave the desert.
Work your ass off doing the wrong thing, and i bet you can get down to $5k a year. Now if you said you worked your ass off creating huge amounts of value, i would feel for you.
The more risk you take, the more the reward needs to be in order to be good money. So, in a 9-5 stable job, $45k might be good money. But not in an industry where a very small amount of people make it.
If the "winning" salary is $45k, then the expected value of being a musician would be like $100 a year.
Wikipedia had decided. They shared the IP address. You can go attack the IP address without them releasing the name of the department that has the computer.
Can you imagine if they weren't talking about IP addresses but GPS coordinates and Terrorists' names? Sorry we can't give you their name, you might be able to bomb that GPS coordinate then.
So how does that say anything one way or another about unions?
The US auto industry is one of the only US manufacturing industries that has survived, thrived and grown from 1970-2006.
But it seems to me the article isn't that damning.
You mean propping up a dying company than and doing again now isn't damning? What about the law that screwed over all of the creditors? And what about the huge layoff anyway, that would have been the same size had they declared bankruptcy?
Too bad teacher unions promote doing the bare minimum for students rather than paying bonuses to teachers that work harder than their peers. Wanna be appreciated for the good work you do? Sorry, not going to happen b/c you might get paid more than who is the same step as you.
That's right, you heard me. Teacher unions hurt good teachers. Take money from the lazy teachers and give it to the good teachers.
You were being ironic, right? How has a union every improved productivity?
Was it by ensuring that people aren't allowed to help out on other tasks than the exact on they are doing?
By preventing me from running an ethernet cable to my own machine when it is a union job? Every seem the slice your cables when you "illegally" wire them up yourself?
Maybe it is by them clocking out at the exact second they are supposed to leave rather than finishing the last unit that is needed before a truck can leave the plant?
Give this a short amount of time, and the non-union people would be gone, or the business would realise that they will not be able to retain the highest quality workers and will shut down.
This happens anyway. Those same people just leave because they don't want to be forced to be in a union.
Besides, if the union striked everytime someone non-union earned a raise or bonus, don't you think the company would stop giving the union good contracts? I mean if they are going to violate the "ceasefire" over anything they aren't going to be inclined to be very friendly towards them.
Or you could work somewhere that thought you were worth the money you were getting.
If they don't value you, work somewhere that does value your work.
Somewhere along the road people forgot that they are getting paid to create value for companies. Instead people think they can just punch a clock and deserve getting paid.
You're joking, right? What about the Chrysler bailout, creditor protection and 30 cents on a dollar to its creditors in 1979? (http://www.heritage.org/research/regulation/bg276.cfm)
Unions are probably the main reason companies simply shutdown plants and move them overseas. It's just not worth it to pay inflated wages to unmotivated workers.
The best union story i've heard firsthand was a friend that was threatened by his peers for "working too hard."
I hope I never am required to join a Union to work. Those places pretty much make it "pay to work."
You probably moved the controller at some point while the system was in use. I guess you just ASSUMED that the controller wasn't part of the XBOX 360 console?
I *guess* all the asshat MS apologist fanboys above me are right to defend Microsoft. Moving the controller. *shakes head*
Why wouldn't he make changes? Have you seen how many changes his predecessor made?
I think you'll just shift goalposts anytime he does make any changes. You'll be like, "yeah, but that isn't really that much change, b/c yada yada yada."
If he stopped by executive order the torture of prisoners, would that be considered change? Luckily you do admit that if he finally balances SCOTUS by offsetting Bush's terrible selection it would be change.
We just had 8 years of rubber stamping spending bills and cutting taxes, and you are worried about Obama?
Even McCain flip-flopped on torture at the insistence of the President, so he can have an effect on the legislative branch.
Another place the executive branch can cause problems is a simple thing like passports. If someone changes their last name because of a gay marriage (legally), their passport goes into limbo--they won't return it to you because it doesn't match your name and they won't change the name on the passport because they don't recognize gay marriage. It takes a judge in massachusetts to clear up passport issues in cases like that. Talk about ideological waste.
So what? Because there isn't a perfect system, we shouldn't try to describe "stuff?" What committee makes these official definitions? There is a committee trying to come up with terms and classifications, but i'm not sure how you want them to become "official."
Calling it spyware is like calling google's spiders spyware because they "spy" on your website. Sure it builds a report from someone's hard drive, but it's not secretly installed and running unbeknown to the user.
What if I published a cooking recipe, told you it was the best, implied that it was safe, you cooked it up... and now you have the shits. Worse than that, you are hospitalized because you have another condition that was significantly complicated by my harmless and victimless haha-gave-you-the-shits prank.
Maybe I would learn not to follow the instructions of any asshole on the internet? If you think it is a good idea to trust strangers on the internet, you might end up with some problems...
What? Home remedies are no substitute for diabetes medicine? I thought ginger would work just as well because i read it on the internet.
People need to grow up and take responsibility for their own education.
insulated from the consequences of their actions, there are simple steps they could have taken so the host wouldn't even know who they were.
Their consequences should be nothing since they posted under a pseudonym. Who cares what Carebear99 says about a DD? People's opinions don't matter unless they have the reputation to back them up.
You could use something like siteadvisor.com to help protect yourself, if you aren't afraid of using something owned by McAfee. It doesn't catch exploited sites instantaneously, but it helps you on the user training front by marking large swatch of the internet as unsafe. It definitely catches a LOT of nasty sites that your grandmother might accidentally click on.

Like spying on americans and torturing prisoners, etc, etc?

Great post! The closed shop idea feels like Communism. What i can't work unless i pay dues to some guy?

Grow up. In a pluralistic society, he can't vote against everything he disagrees with or he wouldn't be in office long enough to make any changes.
Immunizing telos is different than approving of gov't spying anyway. We should be jailing the gov't leaders that were doing the spying on americans.
Well phishing doesn't depend on client side vulnerability anyway--it's a social hack.

Not official but an attempt to define these things:

There's thousands of dollars to hide from lawyers for legal fees. But other than that you are right.
It doesn't matter that it is supposed to be sanitary. People are allowed to state their opinion. In my opinion the plaintiff is an ass.
Their consequences should be nothing since they posted under a pseudonym. Who cares what Carebear99 says about a DD? People's opinions don't matter unless they have the reputation to back them up.
Except that large numbers of people don't go around stealth-infecting people on purpose to infect others.

We can just switch the lyrics. Every line should have the person's name in it and the 3rd line should say "to you".
