Would you mind to explain why firing a direct hire is "much more expensive and legally risky"?
I don't know what country you're in, but I'm only familiar with working in the US. I thought that with "at-will" employment, you can be fired just as easily as you can quit.
I remember reading a post a while back to the effect that when a dictator wants his police and army to be willing to fire upon the people by his orders, he first will typically orchestrate events that cause the police and army to develop an "us vs them" mentality toward the civilian population.
I've known a few people in the military who obviously think that they're better than a civilian by virtue of their status.
You should come work for my company, or the company I worked for last year. You won't have to work 80 hours per week (or even 50 or 60) to impress us. I don't think I've ever worked more than 45.
I would guess that they'll try to make an example out of him somehow.
They'll likely do something awful to him (like solitary confinement for years before having a trial). They'll do it in such a way that they can claim that it is part of their process while they "prepare their case", but they'll make it clear that if you do this, very bad things will happen to you.
However, I find it quite odd that these NSA leaks are coming out at the same time that Manning is finally going on trial.
Yeah, at least Bush was nice enough to lower income taxes.
However, you know all those stories about the Department of Homeland Security saying that they'll order billions and billions of rounds of hollow-point ammunition and do whatever they want to travelers crossing the border under the leadership of "Big Sis" Janet Napolitano, appointed by Barack Obama?
Bush created that damn monstrosity after 9/11. Feel safer, yet?
Hey now, even the first version of Windows 95 made you reboot to change the number of colors on the screen. It was only after they came out with an unsupported program called "PowerToys" that you could change the number of colors on the screen without rebooting!
I had the exact same experience trying to figure out how to load an article in the WIKIpedia application. How on earth was I suppose to know that I'm supposed to find "Search" on the "Charms" bar?
Several years ago, just this very thing was used to shut down a fledgling ferry-boat service among the Hawaiian islands, so the parent is definitely not kidding. Google "Hawaii Superferry".
School Speed Zones are absurd. I worked as a delivery driver for several years, passing by a number of school zones on a regular basis. Not once can I ever remember seeing a child any where near the road.
I agree with you. I have misgivings about the USA PATRIOT Act when Bush was President. I still have misgivings about it now that Obama is President. That hasn't changed.
However, if you listen to many of the people who complained vocally about the USA PATRIOT when Bush was President, you now only hear crickets now that Obama is President.
How much would a comparable property cost in San Francisco?
I work a job at a military base in San Antonio, about 1.5 hours from Austin. I live in a 700 sqft apartment that is 15 minutes from work in morning traffic. I pay $685 per month. How much would that cost in SF?
Some things, such as health insurance, are expensive everywhere, but Texas in general is a great place in terms of the cost of living.
I think that the legislation, as described, is not practical unless we want to ban all robotic photography. To me, that is simply throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
There are definitely inappropriate uses of robotic photography, but this isn't the solution.

As always, when Republicans and Democrats agree on something, you're getting screwed.
Only YOU could have won this war!
This idea is discussed in the book "Work's New Age", if you're interested.

Why is this just now being reported?
100 times this.
There is obviously some reason that they don't do it. The question is, "What is it?"

The powers that be screwed up, and they know they screwed up.
Yet, to the public, they pretend that nothing ever went wrong while trying to control the damage.
But then again, AFAIK, no one has died yet on account of Windows 8.
The "Navajo Code" was a cipher that used Navajo words as part of the ciphering/deciphering process.

If I'm not mistaken, you would have to assume that you are a point-mass in order for this to make sense.
I've been passively looking for something better than what I have, but so far, I haven't found exactly what I want.

Run Metro in a Window! Best Windows 8 improvement I've heard of, so far.
Now if only I could make those awful mandatory Windows Updates run in a window, too!
