If the company files for debtor protection or goes backrupt owing money then the assets (such as customer lists) are basically used to offset some of the debt and thus pretty much owned by the creditors. If the president and two VPs had made off with company BMWs before closing up the company would you see it as being wrong?

Either that or leech off neighboring boat's unsecured WiFi.
Ha ! Gives a whole new meaning to pirating on the open seas. You see a sail in the distance and notice it's following you. A quick look in the telescope/binoculars and you see them pointing a pringle can at you.
Crap, those pirates are still following us. Can't you lose them ?
Well, don't make any mistakes in your devout worship for the bible sayeth that he who worship not devoutly should be stoned (or somesuch if you believe Jeremiah)
Follow not the false idol Steve Jobs nor embrace his false icons the iThingies or though shall be killed (Exodus)
And so forth...
Accordingly, you could argue that the discrepancy caused by old users might be balanced out by young users who wasted a lot of time saying, "Where's the damn 'on button' on this old-fashioned block of papers?"
You mean, "I've read a whole page and I haven't received a single tweet. This sucks. Damn, how do I post on facebook with this thing. What was I doing again? This thing is heavier than my xbox controller. Ooooh, XBOX. Gotta go."
I recall the pain in my hands when I was reading War And Peace dead tree version.
Ugh, I remember pain in my brain from that darned book. After about 65000 pages I was still waiting to get to the good bit.
I jest, but only barely.
Mind you, I was reading an ebook on a palm pilot, so the whole thing probably was 65000 screens.
Agreed. There are at least 25 people who've done it, maybe a lot more. Here's a guide to the whole process if you want to do it yourself: http://brian-mcdermott.com/fusion_is_easy.htm
My god, you're a genius. TFS even states he's the 38th and according to the article one of them was a janitor.
It wont be long now before this liberalist Zeitgeist allows perverts like me into women only gyms.
Nah, good luck with that. We're all equal and everything, but some people are a little more equal when it comes to equality and you presumably being a sir do not qualify.
While one might immediately see value in a product like this for Lindsay Lohan, keep in mind she rarely wears underpants.
Yeah, I know. That's just what we need - another reason for drunk guys to take their pants off.
"Shit man, you're too drunk to drive. Your underwear will block the ignition... "
"Yeah, not a problem !" *Rrriiiip* "Okay, I'm good, let's walk to the car."
The cheap competition did come in a while back. They were called Epson and even more so, Lexmark. Thing is, they seem to have formed a cartel with the big boys once they'd grabbed a share of the market and now everyone plays the same game.
So you're saying that their expensive cartridges are junk too. They spent billions designing them so they can pump out 5ml of the most expensive liquid on earth and then break.
"I'll bet there's someone somewhere in this bizarre world that regards something in my rather mundane photo collection as pornography." Come to think of it, I do have some pictures of the Venus de Milo on the laptop right now, so maybe I should answer "Yes"?
Heh. And where do you buy your soap ? Or does someone in your family know how to make it ?
In theory I might be able to, but I also might kill myself trying. How about everyone else, though I guess it only takes one person who can do it to service the community.
The knowledge might not die but the application might. Why do you think that after floods even now, there is a grave risk of disease? People know that they should wash their hands but when the sewage has washed into the fresh water and there's no clean water to drink or wash in because the technology which enabled it is gone they run into trouble.
Technology is the enabler here. I'm sure there are other examples. This was just the first to mind.
You'd be surprised. I bet the insurance companies would make the patient go through $120k of chemo sessions at $20k per shot before they'd consider the $40k outlay. Somehow it must work out better on their spreadsheets. That is unless they had to pay for more than 2 or 3 sessions in a month. Then they might do it.
I dislike insurance companies. They're a necessary evil for most people but still an unnecessarily evil one.
Maybe someone should set up a shop to sell the pirate games for retail prices and split the take with the original game companies.
"Hey guys. I managed to sell your games to X pirates who would never have bought it otherwise and I only charged 50% for all my hard work"

That's a lovely story, but it doesn't solve the OP's requirements to telecommute while out at sea.

The autism/vaccine correlation does not exist, however kids that don't get vaccines prove with 100% accuracy that their parents are fucking retarded.
Hahaha.
Okay. I think you have your ideas and I have mine. Let's just leave it at that

I read the bible and it's still not a very good story.

Good luck with that considering they invented half the stuff we use every day. Take your asswipery elsewhere.
or even measure blood alcohol levels

One article in idle about beer and suddenly Idle is the coolest place in town.
:)
Not a single Idle is pants post in sight !
You're all drunken hypocrites

Yep. Better be careful. Venus De Milo too racy

Except that TFS says 500,000 barrels per day and I lack over 990 of the fingers required.

"C is Hard. Students who aren't bright enough to handle it should just stay away from the industry."
There fixed it for you.
Nah, we need VB programmers too so that we can concentrate on the interesting stuff.

Why not just put mecanum wheels on an all wheel drive electric car?
Astute observation, Doctor Heisenberg.
Well done, Dr Obvious.
