Without a union, you are still free to demand higher wages and better conditions and quit if you don't like it.
Are you smoking something? What do you call a worker who makes demands without a union to back him or her up? Fired.
Tech jobs are probably among the best, most well-paid and have the most favorable environments, and saying that you need a union to improve upon that is just crap.
"Probably" is a key word. You don't even work in the tech industry, do you? You don't know what you are talking about, and it shows.
Kentucky has one, too. It works flawlessly. Not one telemarketer since I signed up. A federal do not call list would put this racket out of business for good.
There are two reasons why techies don't have a union.
1. We would have to create one from scratch, as there are no existing IT unions we could just join.
2. Management types and republicans have many of us believing unions are bad, even though nyone with half a brain can see management would have us working for free if they had their way.
If we don't get organized, the few IT jobs left in the US will soon be paying minimum wage. People have already left the company I work for (Pomeroy)because assistant managing an Arbys pays more.
Nintendo will begin a series of pay cuts and layoffs that will save them $143 million this fiscal year. It won't hurt the bosses who violated anti-trust laws one bit. When they fine corporate robber barons, it always gets passed on to the little guy. They need to throw them in prison.
Most investors are just gamblers. The people who really got screwed are the thousands who used to have a job until, the robber barons bankrupted the company. $25 million in bonuses? Where is the money coming from? How will a bankrupt company keep the checks from bouncing?
Democracy? What has happened is the result of an economic theory called capitalism, not any form of government. Capitalism has nothing whatsoever to do with democracy. All power in the hands of a few rich old men is more like feudalism.
Superman and Batman are yesterday's heros. The fanboys just don't relate to them any more, but I have an idea for a superhero all the fanboys will really connect with. He's called Blobman, and he lives in his mother's basement.
It is more likely that the 23% don't have a computer, and didn't care enough about the question to really answer it. If 77% of the population will boycott the recording industry, Hilary Rosen and the record company executives will be forced to rethink their views.
If all you are going to use the net for is e-mail, some surfing, and sending grandma a picture of the new baby, you don't need broadband. A modem will do. Cable companies want to gouge the people who actually use broadband. To hell with the cable companies! I watch broadcast TV, and get my broadband from the phone company. Cable is down all the time. The phones aren't.
"Ice Ice Baby"Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!
Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby All right stop, Collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention Something grabs a hold of me tightly Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know Turn off the lights and I'll glow To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Dance, Bum rush the speaker that booms I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly, when I play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love it or leave it, You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Now that the party is jumping With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin' Quick to the point, to the point no faking I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon Burning them if they're not quick and nimble I go crazy when I hear a cymbal And a hi hat with a souped up tempo I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi
Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead
Yo -- so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out geting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of "Eight Ball"
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine -- All I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, You know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, You, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, "damn"
If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem, Yo -- I'll solve it!

Force the recording industry to change by boycotting their products until they do.

Walt Disney took from the public domain, but Michael Eisner poo-poos on the very idea of the public domain. The term "intellectual property" was coined by crooks who want to continue robbing us all. Copyrights and patents are a loan from the public domain, to artists and inventors for a limited time to promote the progress of science and the useful arts, they are not property. Check out this lampoon of Michael Eisner.
All three major Hard drive manufacturers are cutting back to a one year warranty at the same time. From here, that looks like collusion: a hard drive trust. There should be an anti-trust investigation of Maxtor, Seagate, and Western Digital.
The only reason to cut back warranty is because the reliability of the product in question is taking a nosedive. Maybe this is by design. It looks like planned obsolescence.
In the seventies, American car manufacturers wanted us to buy a new car every two years, so they designed cars that would fall apart after two years. When they didn't even last one, Toyota, Datsun, and Honda took over the market. Will Fujitsu now do that in hard drives?
He pays you $12,000 a day to be on his radio show with him? Now that's one pricey sidekick! You are an "Escort?" You have even more in common with Anna Nicole Smith then I first thought. You might get just as much money as she got from that old man, if not more. It sure must beat working for a living.
Slashdot isn't being bankrupted by greedy executives who want Jaguars, Mansions , and Cocaine. AOL is. You aren't even comparing apples to oranges, but apples to rocks.
So, being Kevin Mitnick's sidekick on a radio show qualifies her as brainy? Will it work if I put Anna Nicole Smith on a show with Bill Nye, The Science Guy?
Did you notice that there aren't many redhead jokes? That's because the last guy to tell them got killed.
