Wages are based on what an employer is willing to pay for an individual's contribution to the company. As for the programmer vs. roofer reference...I will make a wager with you. Find me 5 roofers and 5 programmers. All members of each group will need to have both arms and legs and be able to walk, etc., and need to be able to read and comprehend at an 8th grade level. I will turn the 5 programmers into roofers that are at least as skilled as the 5 original roofers. In the same time, you try to turn the 5 roofers into programmers that are at least as skilled as the original programmers. The person who has greater success wins a pizza. Any takers?
All kidding aside, people need to realize that some contributions are worth more than others. I want the pilot of the plane I am on to drive whatever kind of car he wants and live in a nice, big house on the beach. I want that person happy. I want the doctor who keeps my body working happy. I want the engineer designing the safety features in my car to be happy. I really don't care if the person cleaning the toilet is happy.
I'm not saying that "everyone makes what they are worth" in ALL cases. One huge disparity that jumps to mind is the fact that we pay the person who takes our trash to the dump nearly DOUBLE what we pay the teachers with whom we entrust our children (Will someone please think of the children?). This needs to be fixed. We pay our politicians huge sums of money to go to Washington and ignore their constituents. I thought I had a point in here somewhere...
Oh yeah. My points are that I believe everyone should pay their fair share of taxes, compensation in some fields needs to be made commensurate with responsibility and performance, and pizza is a good prize. But if you try to tell me that the work fry cooks and roofers perform is of equal monetary value to that of CEOs and programmers you're insane.
Can someone with some knowledge please explain to me why we can't build a machine with simple boot code that does not EVER need to be modified for the life of the hardware?
You missed the order in which outlaw[ed][s] appears in each phrase. The saying has a flow to it, e.g., if dee doo daaa, then daaa doo dee. This is not a difficult concept.
[Lewis Black voice] It is not my template. I did not say it was grammatically correct. I did not say it was logically correct. I simply stated the correct form of the colloquialism. Soooo, shutthefuckup. [/Lewis Black voice]
I would reboot Final Fantasy and make many of the characters less cheesy. I would also make the subject matter a bit darker and the interactions more free form. I think it would also be nice to have a non-turn-based combat option.

Well, thanks a lot. After reading your informative post I have nothing left to gripe about. Fun hater. ~
Last I heard they couldn't even go to the knife drawer. Sad.

No way would I want to be a roofer; it's damned hard work
Oh Really?
I highly doubt it.

You expect me to believe in thinking meat?

Isn't it a too damn big territory to defend - explore - colonize?
Not if your civilization is a Hive Mind.
Son, it don't matter if they call you a sissy,
just don't get caught speedin' through Ludowici.
When signs say "slower traffic keep right" they mean slower than the speed limit.
I always thought it meant slower than the flow of traffic. Can anyone clarify this (preferably someone in law enforcement / legal field)?

Ok people, the expression is:
If [performing some action] is outlawed,
Only outlaws will [result of performing previous action].
In the case of cracking iPhones:
If cracking iPhones is outlawed,
only outlaws will own cracked iPhones.
The inversion of order of the action and outlaw[ed][s] is the whole point of the expression. Please try to get this right. Thank you, that is all.

I will give Star Ocean a whirl. Thanks for the info.
