When the second wrong undoes the damage of the first. If stealing that data stops your house being foreclosed due to redundancy, you have to do it. Your family is more important than corporate ethics. Especially when it's the corporation that fired you, to which you owe nothing.
Your attitude is childish, greedy, and thoughtless. Or did you not have any friends working there, so in your mind "they all deserve to pay?"
The corporate attitude is childish, greedy and thoughtless. So what if you screw over anyone else working there? America is a dog eat dog, 'fuck you got mine' society. If you don't screw over someone else, someone else will screw over you. Bear in mind those others working there kept their job because you lost yours.
The problem is that very few people are actually qualified to debate climate change. Not even NASA. Especially not people who think that a short term cooling precludes overall AGW.
I blame the Internet, it makes the ignorant, knuckle-dragging, unqualified masses think their views actually count for anything.
If you actually looked at the graph you linked to, you'd see that annual mean temperature varies by up to 0.2 degrees year by year, but has an overall upward trend. So what if 2008 is the lowest since 2000? It's still higher than 2000, and higher than anything before 1990.
See what I mean? You can't even interpret a basic line graph and you're trying to debate climate change, disbelieving all the people who actually know something about it.
Gaming on a phone is awful. Unless that is properly addressed, then the likes of the Nintendo DS won't have to worry and I'm sure Nintendo isn't seeing how many DS units they're selling.
That's what people used to say about mp3 players. Apple made the iphone because they saw the death of the dedicated player.
The DS will be the last generation of dedicated handhelds, if Nintendo want to stay in the business they'll either release their own phone, or start releasing games for phones.
Technology gets smaller and smaller, with each generation there's less and less need for carrying around individual devices. Watches exist due to tradition and nothing else.
Prices are set at the level the market will bear. If MS could put $50 on the cost of an Xbox they'd have done so already. If they couldn't, then they can't even if they're sued, they'll just have to take the hit.
That's got to be horseshit. Supposing someone finished work at 5pm, by the time they've got home, had a shower and some tea, it's 6pm. They then watch TV until 2am?
Thus they don't know a thing about it...but...they're creating an entertaining fiction. To acurately reproduce workplace interaction would be very boring TV. So they're doing what they need to do...but there's no reason to try and interpret that dialogue as if it were real.
I wouldn't agree with that, The Office (the UK version at least, not the US sitcom), is a pretty accurate reproduction of a work place. Ricky Gervais wouldn't have been able to write that unless he had experience of such a place.
The dialogue is as realistic as anywhere I've ever worked, and it captures the ennui of a dead-end workplace to perfection.
"Walk 3 km (2 miles for part the world) to the sport centre, do your little thing, walk 3 km to get back home afterwards. Walk to work, walk back from work."
the results would have been more impressive.
Walking doesn't really burn any calories, you'll do more in a few minutes on the treadmill than in an hour's walk. And that's another hour out of your day that you could have been exercising or resting.
It is not the governments purpose to "save" or "fix" the economy, nor does it have the ability to do so. It never had that ability, and it never will
Of course it is, unless you live in some non-existent libertarian utopia. Governments continually bail out and stimulate economies, and their voters expect them to.
That's how modern society works, whether you like it or not.
I don't see the 'problem' in forcing everyone in a society to help each other out via a democratic government. "Each according to their ability" and all that.
Factory workers produce cars, investors produce nothing. They just give money to someone else so they can produce something. Investors are an artifact of capitalism. We need them to distribute money because we gave them the money in the first place. They didn't create the money.
Don't allow investors to accumulate capital, and you don't actually need them anymore.
It generates hits, and that's all that matters. Americans foam at the mouth when it comes to discussing politics. They just repeat the same idiotic comments over and over again, driving ad-impressions. They'll probably make thousands of dollars just from the libertarians who inevitably turn up in every thread like this to whine about socialism.
You can also elaborate on exactly how trying to make health care/insurance a government mandated "right" doesn't effectively enslave those who provide such services?
Clown comments like that are why libertarianism will always be a joke philosophy, confined entirely to Internet conspiracy theorists and anti-social hillbillies.
Remember all that Ron Paul crap that infested the Internet all the way up to the last election? You'd have thought the absolute trashing of their candidate would have silenced the Randroids, but they're back like a really stubborn weed.
In short, if all you've got are insults, you need to take your socialist government loving self somewhere else. Real adults take care of themselves and don't look to the government for handouts.
Real adults realise the benefit of society and the welfare state over 'fuck you got mine' anarchy. Libertarians want to turn the US into Brazil, or Victorian England. Maybe they should re-open the workhouses, or is that too much government interference?
The adults know that you can't fix the problems of a mostly government-controlled mess by making it fully government-controlled. Keynesians are infantile morons.
Odd then that every other country in the developed world mananaged a UHC system with heavy government involvement that works fine, maybe it's that American exceptionalism I keep hearing so much about.
And it's hard to call Keynesians morons when their methods are being adopted world-wide to bail out the failures of capitalism. Even Reagan believed in Keynes.

Yet Apple released the iphone, because they realised that people weren't going to carry around an ipod and a phone.
A phone battery might last a week, but I'm never away from a clock or an energy source for a week at a time. Watches are just jewellery nowadays.

It's harder to put bigger bombs in suitcases and under coats.
Most listeners have known for decades that audiophiles are only interested in listening to the stereo, not the music.
I'm not buying 15 hours a day of TV, there isn't enough time including sleep, eating, shopping, household chores, exercise etc.
That's got to be horseshit. Supposing someone finished work at 5pm, by the time they've got home, had a shower and some tea, it's 6pm. They then watch TV until 2am?

If getting malpractice insurance and your legal bills paid is against your personal values, you must have pretty strange personal values.
Walking doesn't really burn any calories, you'll do more in a few minutes on the treadmill than in an hour's walk. And that's another hour out of your day that you could have been exercising or resting.
Hey fat people, you know making excuses doesn't burn any calories?
Now get on the fucking treadmill. You just admitted that an hour's exercise a day will lose you fifty pounds a year.
Asda pizzas are awesome though and they usually have some good booze offers. I'm not posh enough to live near a Sainsbury's anyway.
Farmed fish are inferior to wild fish, and need to be fed from wild fish anyway. Civilised people eat whatever's nicest and most convenient.
Of course it is, unless you live in some non-existent libertarian utopia. Governments continually bail out and stimulate economies, and their voters expect them to.
That's how modern society works, whether you like it or not.
Unlike capitalism, which never runs out of other people's money. There always seems to be plenty left in the pot for its endless, inevitable bailouts.
Or Switzerland. Funny how conservatives drag that place up as an example of small government.
Interestingly, few of the critics of the bill have any realistic alternatives. The Republicans had eight years and didn't do jack shit.

Every developed country has tax and spend policies. Every single one. In a recession, your only other option is to cut taxes and spend, i.e. Keynes.
What's your solution, cut spending during a recession?

Both of them?
