Key point - YOUR time is not necessarily THEIR time. The point is these people decided that 3pm to 5pm is THEIR FUCKING TIME and arranged to be given an iPod so they could be at home when the kids come home (just making up an example here) and be able to do extra work to make up for the fact that they aren't in the office during the normal business hours.
Perhaps we are arguing the same side but I don't see that you're comprehending that someone might have a different set of values than you do and would happily negotiate a different more flexible, but more hours, arrangement to make that workable.
I'm sure eventually I'll be replaced by someone that will, and assuming that I have nothing in my work record to justify the turfing it will be one hell of a wrongful termination suit when that happens.
You'll get laughed out of court. If they find someone else willing to do more for the same amount of pay...that's called competition.
Working extra hours a week unpaid isn't competition, its a race to the bottom.
Capitalism is a race to the bottom. It's about providing a product or service for least possible cost. By definition that's a race to the bottom.
How precisely does one compete with someone who works for free?
If I'm willing to provide the same service as you at half the cost, that's my right and is plain old competition.
This is entirely different than 'illegal dumping' and such stuff where products are sold below cost. That isn't the case here. The people are choosing to work extra hours in order have more flexibility in their job. If you can't compete with that, you can't compete period.
If someone chooses to forgo health insurance and thus can be paid less than someone who wants health insurance...is that 'unfair' competition? If I have coverage from my spouse's company, I don't need that benefit from my company and can work for less money. How is this case any different?
Seriously, if you have kids, sometimes making more money isn't worth the sacrifices of never seeing them during the week because you had to work and rush hour took 3 hours to get home.
If *THEY* are happy with the situation of trading extra hours for flexibility, they've made what they consider to be a fair compromise...and as such haven't undermined themselves at all.
If were talking about that, then yes I agree. We're talking about how they FEEL about their situation, which is far from objective.
If they get to be home when the kids come home from school, how much is that worth? An extra hour a day? It's all dependent on how *you* value your time and the ways you can spend it - which again is far from objective.
If they 'enjoy' and are 'content', then it's hard to say they've 'undermined' themselves. They have perhaps undermined 'you' and your conditions, but that's called competition.
he said that anyone that develops METRO app can make the ui one way opr the other that means putting desktop style ui inside of a full screen metro app.It is totally doable.
And completely unnecessary...like bundling IE into Windows...
The phone companies claimed you couldn't do it either. Then Mitnick showed them that, yes in fact you could.
Hell he was even in court as an expert witness and flatly refuted the Phone Co. rep who said X couldn't be done and he asked for a short recess and got his documentation and then the Rep had to admit yes X could be done.
I'll take the word of someone who 'owned' the system rather than someone paid by the system to talk about the system.
Did it require a 'special' phone, perhaps, but I've not seen any documentation on that...sources?
After you go through the forced Metro GUI, then yes you can get to the 'old' style GUI.
When the 'solution' to view multiple open apps in the Metro/Modern gui is 'multiple monitors' (seriously) the design is seriously flawed. If you can run a Metro app in a windowed mode then I take that back but I haven't seen anything like that in any of MS's info.
For 'efficiency' i.e lots of data throughput, the keyboard is still vastly superior to anything else.
The Mouse is still the most precise and flexible positional device. Trackballs are in the general vicinity but not as good as mice. Trackpads/Thumbsticks are horrid for precision.
Since it's relatively easy to 'spoof' the caller-id that is transmitted when you make a call (so your call appears to come from someone else), it seems rather surprising a similar spoof of the ID on a txt msg would be likewise easy.
Of course I don't know how to do the former but I watched Mitnick do it on Leo Laporte's TechTV show in about 30 seconds...
I also don't know that SMS would be likewise spoofable, but it would seem to follow since both are going over the same network no?
Indeed, the Win95 interface was a massive change. However, it pretty quickly showed that it was superior to the old 3.1 design.
You can call both that and Metro, ahem sorry 'Modern', risks, but risking something with a better product is a far better 'risk' than forcing something from/for tiny screens on to the desktop, simply because 'you want to'.
When my 'screen' is embedded in my desk, touch will make *some* sense. But when it's sitting out at arms length? Sorry, keyboards and mice are still the single best way to interact with any kind of efficiency.
Since 'God' also allowed his followers to sexually assault boys AND cover it up for years, with this 'Pope' being involved in it I'll not really care much about what they 'say is ok'
Agreed, nothing in the TOS talks about cancellation, and given the boilerplate nature of such things, me thinks they can cancel it if they want. Besides, how much money are you going to spend to fight them in court? Me thinks, not much.
And more importantly, how many other people are in your situation? Me thinks not many.
'Not Much' + 'Not Many' = you get to find another solution. And of course rightfully bitch about them publicly:)

solve humanity's energy problem effectively forever.
Fortunately it gives us LOTS of new problems to deal with. At least we won't be bored. Or need nightlights...
What's the realistic potential of the amount we could get?
:)
Could it replace the need to mine it for grid scale consumption?
Is it naturally replenished in the sea water or is it just there like it is in the earth (and taking out eventually depletes the stock)?
Genuinely curious
Uh, perhaps not using google would get you around 'googles' blocks?
For 'Home' users and Corporate Execs your scenario is plausible.
For anyone who uses computers to get work done? This is a disaster.

I've never heard of Joyent, the vast majority of people haven't either. *Everybody* has heard of Facebook.
So I'll add one more thing:
How many people have heard of Joyent and will care about your complain? Me thinks, not many.
Not Much + Not Many + Not Many = you find another solution.
We're done here.
If there is a single God in your religion, it's top down...
That said, it was a wee bit broad and generalizing. But when it comes to Kentucky's majority religion...it fits.

In that order. Starting Now.
Yes, it's a 'Lifetime' policy ;-)
While I agree with your belief that they are overused, said EOs can be challenged and overturned by the courts.
