Higher salaried personnel also tend to work above the normal 80-hour biweekly standard on which their salary is based, so it's no surprise they also might get more vacation time to compensate.
"They are entry level positions and any who wants more needs to simply look for the next job and find one that pays more"
Right. Because there are as many better-paying jobs as there are qualified people who want them...or not. And I'm just talking about the white dudes. God forbid any women or PoC want to move up in the world, too.
"It's not like disliking a person because they are brown, or black or whatever color."
Yes, it is.
"The backbone of Islam is based on submission."
As it is in Christianity: women to men, men to God.
"hey... man, I heard that the Quran says that it is OK to hit your wife if she is disobedient or disrespectful."
I'm sure the Quran says a lot of things. As does the Bible. That doesn't make them right, or acceptable, or even representative.
"If I am "Racist" because I won't tolerate their hatred of women, then.. fine, I'm a racist."
No, what makes you racist is the blanket attribution of these negative aspects to all members of a heterogeneous group while living in a country where Muslims are a minority.
Given that the publisher doesn't pay for the articles, the peer review or the editing (for the most part), it does raise the question, what exactly is being paid for via those subscriptions.
Glossy paper and ink; proofreading and typesetting; printing and distribution; IT and database costs; archiving; marketing ("reputation management")...just to name a few things.
First paragraph at Wikipedia: "AltaVista was an early web search engine founded in 1995. It was once one of the most popular search engines, but it lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, which retained the brand but based all AltaVista searches on its own search engine. On July 8, 2013, the service was shut down by Yahoo! and since then, the domain redirects to Yahoo!'s own search site.[2]"
Second and third lines of TFA: "Founded in 1995, AltaVista was a very popular Internet search engine website. Nevertheless, AltaVista lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003. Ten years later, Yahoo! officially shut down AltaVista in July 2013 and redirected the domain name to its own search engine website."
Is not your library if the vendor can take it from you. You didn't buy, just got a limited permission to play it while the real owner is in good mood, and in their own terms.
This.
Let it stand as a lesson to all: You don't buy digital media from the likes of Amazon, you rent it.
Improper generalization. I buy DRM-less MP3 "digital media from the likes of Amazon" all the time, at mostly reasonable prices to boot. I wish I could buy more, but for the channel-controlling likes of certain publishers.
Arrested != convicted. Oooh - someone smuggling drugs. Big national security risk there.
If this were a medical test, it would have been tossed out well before implementation based on both the false positive rate and the admission of questionable sensitivity.
That's one of the main criticisms of corporations. All the privileges of citizens*, none of the responsibility.
* although these days they seem to have more privilege than citizens
No no, all legal entities are equal. But some legal entities are more equal than others.
So, if BB eliminates mail-in rebates, will they permanently lower their prices? Will they increase the intelligence-insulting "instant rebates" to compensate? Yeah, right...
On a related but perhaps OT note, I've always wondered why car companies have to provide many thousands of dollars in rebates and "incentives" to sell their products. Anyone ever think that maybe the price points were too high to begin with? Just a thought...
...After all, aren't remakes always worse than the originals?
Specifically, Masters of the Universe (He-Man), and Transformers (any remake/sequel).
Both were 1980's cartoons, remade recently. Both remakes remake what it means to SUCK.
This may be a biased comment, having grown up on the original He-Man and Optimus Prime. But, like Olmos suggests, I feel hurt having seen the remakes. I'm almost offended by them.

And, of course, Microsoft claiming that WinXP is its most secure OS yet is also a legitimate source for customer confusion, if not downright lying.
I still find it rather interesting that the search for life is given in terms of our own existence. Why is it that life has to involve electrical fields and/or discharges and religious beliefs?

Basically, Comcast will rent you a Roku box? Brilliant...

Yeah, but you still get to kayak 5404km across the Pacific Ocean when going from Toyko to Sidney. (step number 48)
Don't forget the landing near Darwin...

Didn't you read Animal Farm?

Plugging in a wireless mouse kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think?
Funny thing -- when I RTFA about saving the Internet, I noticed the leading banner ad was touting the "new Microsoft Office System"...

Pornography is indistinguishable from rape.
Usually, the women consent to pornography, dire economic need or not. Therefore don't equate rape with pornography.
It runs women through a blender, converting their bodies into liquified youth.
You ever seen the old women in porno? Liquified youth, my rear-end.
There is no such thing as consent in pornography, because every person involved is there because of dire economic need.
So, you're telling me that porn stars are unable to get a job at the McDonald's like the rest of us under-endowed folk? Get real.
But we tolerate women's public humiliation and public rape, because men universally crave and devour pornography.
Not all men, and you forgot the women. Don't forget that some of the girls whom you're defending might actually like some of it too.
Pornography != Rape
