Bullshit. Check your definition of slave, you are not indentured, and you are being paid a fair market wage.
If you are a manager/owner and let your people screw off you are an idiot.
If you are an employee that screws off you are a thief.
If you are customer who allows it, you are a liar. I guarantee you would not be pleased if someone you needed service from decided to bail on you because they didn't feel like working at that moment. Or you buy a product only 1/2 built; 'the guy who does that was out back smoking today, sorry'.
Anyone who purchases services ( or products ) expects to get what they paid for. Your boss has paid for your services for x amount of hours a day, which you agreed to. It is not unreasonable to expect you to provide what is being paid for. Unless you are a damned socialist or something.
Furthermore, you wouldn't be hired by me in the first place, i can tell you have a poor work ethic and think you are entitled to be paid just because you feel important and show up. You are neither. And it would be quite clear in your interview what sort of lazy thief you are.
Everyone leasing time to run their applications and access their data. Like it or not, welcome back to the mainframe age folks, just with more shine and color.
It's the companies laptop. In your home. It's the company's truck. After hours. It's the company's phone. On a private call.
It makes no difference where something is off hours. its still company property, 24/7/365. Unless you own the company, its *not* your property and you have zero *right* to use it for personal use. Your company may extend that courtesy to you as a kind gesture to build morale but its not your f-ing *right*. Furthermore, people ( idiots ) like you shouldn't be allowed to have the job in the first place, let alone approved personal (ab)use of corporate resources.
Too bad there are far too many people that just don't understand things like this, and feel they are *entitled* to do whatever they want with no repercussions. The 'me me me me' mentality that is being fostered by today's society.
You would be the first one to be replaced if you think you can steal from my company by not performing your contracted duties on my time.
If you run off to play with your self on my time its called THEFT. Yes, theft. I would also dock your pay for that amount of time, as i have security escort you off the property.
No, i saw what you said, and you are dead wrong as if i'm paying you for the time, so its now the companies time, not yours. It is little different than if you sell me your car, its not yours anymore. This is not an opinion, its a legal fact.
If you worked for me your ass would be fired. While on the clock your resources are MINE. Period. Off the clock, you can do whatever you want and i could care less what/where it is, but while i'm paying you, productivity better be coming out of you.
Notice again i never said 'all your time', just while you are 'on the clock'.
Ummmm you don't own the equipment your company is letting you use as part of your job. Its company property, and have every right to monitor its resources. This includes YOU, while on company time.
Or are you one of those that thinks you are "entitled" ?
Its your bosses time, not yours, and its really that simple. The fact that people are even discussing this like there is something wrong tells a sad story.
The ACA exchanges are specifically designed to (a) help people buy in larger pools for discounts and (b) induce competition between insurance companies, to reduce prices.
If you honestly believe that was the goal, you are a fool and deserve the socialist world you support. Enjoy your cheese and bread, while it lasts.
They have been for a while now, if you wanted to pony up the cash and live on the bleeding edge But regardless of that, there is still an OS of some sort pushing those bits around, be it on virtual hardware or real.
It's not about political reasons that some of us think MIR is a bad idea.
But i guess if you are rich, you by nature toss mud at people that disagree with you and hope they go away. Yet another reason to stay away from his product.
I don't buy my books from the people who made my device. WiFi is turned off on my dedicated e-reader, so no, they cant remove any content that i have placed there. ( and my tablet, they have zero access to in the first place )
Furthermore, all of my books come without DRM, or are stripped when i get them. If i cant strip it or buy it without, then i don't want it and wont buy it. Copies also get backed up in case the reader should die or be stolen, as even the most honest of vendors might go out of business..
I do not trust any of the 'service providers', and plan accordingly.
So smarty guy, how is pulling an e-book any different then pulling a dead tree version off the shelf and burning it?
Sure, if you are using DRMized books they could yank it off your reader ( or come to your house for your dead tree version ), but that isn't inherent functionality in an e-book.
Tomorrow dissident materials, then anything that anyone doesn't like. And don't forget they know who bought these e-books, that might be grounds for a search warrant.
Now, it is their right as a business not to carry anything they don't personally approve of, but it is a bad path we are heading down.

Toilet break would be that, a break, and on your own time.
The same people that have a MOLP and pay every year too keep it up... ( hint, a lot of large companies )
It was a joke. Apparently not a successful one.
And why should i trust you?

Its still an OS, even if its not 'traditional'.
The end goal is single-payer.
What the fuck makes you think you have any right to "undermine his decision"?
I guess you don't have a clue how this country works. We all have the right to protest what we feel is a bad decision. Its part of our Constitution.

As usual bad stats are meaningless.
I wont go that far. They mean a lot to the company that paid for the survey, to show what they wanted to show.

Seems the author retyped the statement themselves rather than just copying and pasting then the summary carried it over.
And even tho he made a typo, give that man a cookie for doing it himself and not taking the lazy way out.

"e-books" are a viable option, its ones with DRM attached that are not.
So smarty guy, how is pulling an e-book any different then pulling a dead tree version off the shelf and burning it?
