  1. Re:Cheerfulness as a contractual obligation... on German IT Outfit Bans Whining · · Score: 1
    Unless all (or enough that there's less open jobs than there's employees) companies require such terms, in which case the employees will either agree to them or starve to death. It is good to have a monopoly on employment >:].

    Technically this is known as a MONOPSONY. See the wiki article for a detailed description.

    "In economics, a monopsony is a market form with only one buyer, called "monopsonist", facing many sellers. It is an instance of imperfect competition, symmetrical to the case of a monopoly, in which there is only one seller facing many buyers....."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopsony

    Windows NT 4(at least the later prints of it) also came on a bootable CD...

    I booted from CD and installed it on many old 133Mhz w/ 16mb ram systems with only a CD rom installed.

    "Unless you can turn enough people to flip the state majority from one party to another, then you have made NO difference."

    That's the whole idea behind the Free State Project.

    Quip from the site: The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation and regulation, reforms at all levels of government to expand individual rights and free markets, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world.

    "Only monopolies are holding up the prices- but the glut is coming and prices will drop." And the government is holding up the monopolies and the people are too stupid to stop holding up the government.....

    Not speaking from experience, but the Azureus-over-I2P looks promising once more people get online with the I2P network.

    I agree completely. Very well said.

  9. Re:How bout COMBINING the console and the PC on Inside the Games Machines of the Future · · Score: 1
    Even better would be writing a game that was playable on both the consoles (plural) and the PC.

    Imagine HALO or SOCOM or Operation Flashpoint where the players are on PC, XBox, --AND-- PS2 all at the same time, on the same map, playing together.

    There would always be 10,000 people available to play with!

    Well, reguardless if the act was illegal or not, she will be getting half of his stuff (minus the items in the parent post) and most likely a divorce.

    I hope the online girl was worth it.

  12. Community Property State? on FL Court Rules Against Spouse-Installed Spyware · · Score: 5, Informative
    According to this site, "Florida is an "equitable distribution" state. Each spouse can retain their non-marital property. Non-marital property is all property acquired prior to the marriage, or acquired by gift or inheritance, or any property that the spouses agree is non-marital property in a written agreement."

    Unless the PC was his before the marraige, the whole PC is 'theirs' and she can install whatever she wants on it.

    If you d/l with Bittorrent, and your ratio never reaches 1.0, then can you be punished for uploading?

    Technically, you haven't uploaded anything usable(97% of game ISO isn't going to install).

    What do you think?

    I would just do nothing... Let them go after Dior for buying the negative ads if they must prosecute someone. If I am in the business of advertising, I need as many 'eyeballs' looking at my ads as possible...

  15. And what are you going to do about it? on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 1

    I always see people complaining about Washington and talking like "that's just the way it is" and fail to see that "we the people" are the ones supporting it in the end.

    The problem isn't with the Reps or the Dems, it is with both. I believe they are both selling out on regular people and that's why I voted for Michael Badnarik and the Libertarian Party.
