Actually all the upper management people should have their own cell phone. They make enough to pay their own bill it should be a job requirement just like a mechanic is expected to have and maintain tools to work his job. You know a lot of the calls are personal so let them all pay for their own phone, they can claim the expense on their taxes.
Actually the food stamp program is one of the few gummint charity programs I approve of. It's ridiculous for people in this country to go hungry, particularly children. We can afford to feed people. I'm not so keen on many of the other giveaways.
DRM shouldn't get in the way of enjoying the game for legal owners. I hated companies that made my old 1541 disk drive hammer itself into oblivion with their crap copy protection. I'd end up finding a cracked copy that would load in 15 seconds instead of 4 and a half minutes. I don't mind paying for something useful but I hate buying crippled shit. I really don't play games anymore but if I did I wouldn't want anything that forced me to put up with a bunch on needless BS.
Heh, recently B2 bombers were going for the paltry sum of about 2.2 billion dollars. I was thinking of picking up a couple for myself. The neighbors would show some respect then!
He was right when he dressed down the supreme court publicly before and he needs to do it again. This kind of crap is outrageous. What kind on nonsense says when you buy something the company you purchased it from has the right to tell you what you can do with it? How out of touch with reality can they possibly be? I guess when I buy ground beef I have to get Winn Dixie's permission to use it to make meatloaf? It's so preposterous I can barely conceive of something like this being seriously allowed.
You don't understand how the government works do you? There is no logic, or at least nothing you would recognize as such. I work for the US Air Force as a civilian. I'm actually a lowly aircraft electrician. When we have an inspection they go by the written word. If a job requires me to pull a circuit breaker before I start then I must pull it. Even if it's not on the aircraft but stored in a cabinet waiting to be installed. I have to get down off the jet, walk over, unlock the cabinet and reach in, get the breaker panel and pull the breaker. Never mind that these instructions were written with a different situation in mind. Logic is not allowed. If I don't follow the sequence exactly as written I fail the task evaluation. There you go. I've worked for the Air Force most of my life either in uniform or out and I'm never surprised at any stupid thing they come up with. Even if every television news organization in the world is discussing a leaked classified document, if you hold a security clearance you can't talk about it. In fact, the people with clearances might even be the only people not talking about it and they still think it's a secret.
Personally, as a Christian, I find it abhorent that they are seeking money from the government. I know that they could easily build this center with private funds. They shouldn't be seeking money from the world for Gods work.
I'm the exact opposite. I want a phone that makes calls. Very clear calls with a nice speaker I can actually hear. I want a battery charge to last days not hours. I don't need a phone that does all that other junk so much more poorly than a computer or tablet. I can see why a tablet might be useful for someone that likes to sit around surfing the net or reading a book and other light computing stuff. It has a screen you can actually see without squinting. Have you ever noticed all the folks that are holding these tiny little phones and squinting really tight trying to look at youtube videos or read a website. It's silly looking. Actually it looks painful.

That's awesome. I'm dying here!

Pass the soylent green please.
Right...the schools are doing such a great job at it.
Damn right! I wonder who they'll blame the change on after we're gone?

It was 6 days dude. On the seventh he rested.
More like a few months of it. It wont be a problem though, they can just raise their rates to pay for it.
All at once? Wonder what that'll cost?
and Selling them to china
fixed that for ya
Idiot. It doesn't matter which party runs the White House. This is about money. Money always rules.
What? Are you implying that politicians let campaign donations color their decision making? Why I would never have dreamed of that happening!
Because boycotting BP hurts people that weren't involved in any decision making and doesn't really hurt the ones responsible.
I think some people need to spend time in jail if this is proven. A lot of time.
Citations? Isn't this slashdot?
There is an easy fix. Simply do what the US did. Get rid of all your factories and buy everything from overseas.

Why does the bus have to stop? They should mount huge bumpers like trains have on them and they just keep going. Problem solved!
It'll be like you ran over a beer can in your car.
Well considering it was a fucking European oil company why didn't they bring that shit with them?
I'm fortunate to live where such comments don't easily translate into criminal charges.
