    Considering it's an honor to serve your country, maybe they should rethink their payscale.

    THEY do, that's the problem. The thing is we need some sort of checks and balances. You should never be in charge of voting for your own paycheck.

    Senate votes on House & Vice Versa? My state already does a direct democracy on a ton of issues, why not just figure out a pay scale.

    Or even as simple as: You get 200k/year based on the % of votes you were there for. Show up for 5 votes out of 100, you get 10k.

    It doesn't matter how much I sleep, but when.

    My second year of college I got blessed with an 11:30 first class. I could stay up until 5, go to bed, get up at 11 and be wide awake the rest of the day. I could get 9 hours of sleep, but if I had to be up 7 am, I would drag on. I don't think 15 hours of sleep would be able to make me not feel tired at 5 am. However with 4 hours of sleep and getting up at noon I could practically jump out of bed and be dressed and out the door in minutes.

    It worked great for my social life, because I always hung out with friends from after school until midnight, then midnight to 5 was homework/movie time. Repeat.

    And with a later start time they're less likely to get into 'trouble' after school.

    Now: Start at 7, out at 3. After 3 and before 5/6 when the parents gets home they're already up. Bodies at peak awareness.

    Start them at 10, most teens aren't going to wake up because the parents are gone cause trouble then go to school. So they'll just be getting home at a more appropriate hour.

    Thank FSM that I have a job that understands this. I beat myself up my first year trying to be in at 7:30. I'd pull a Office Space and zone out until at least 9:30. Check e-mails, try and keep myself awake.

    Now I roll out of bed between 8:30 and 9:30. Roll in between 8:45 and 10. Get my work done and leave. Productivity is up. I haven't fallen asleep in a meeting since 2007.

    So make it a persistent state. Every computer lab on campus had a 'deep freeze' piece of software installed.

    You HAD to save your files to your shared drive. If you rebooted the PC, the entire PC was reimaged back to a 'clean' state.

    I'm sure such software works for Linux (if not just get a Live CD/LiveUSB).

    Disable executable access for anything running on a shared drive and there shouldn't be anyway for them to permanently do any damage.

    No matter how they screw a computer up, a reboot will fix it.

    Which is what I told some Europeans I met while traveling. When I first brought up the idea of decentralizing 90% of the government they looked at me like I was nuts.

    Then I asked them if they would be ok with giving the EU the power to decide nearly everything. Or a guy in Portugal (they were from Norway) having say in what he could or couldn't do.

    The last few years our country has been split 50/50 on EVERYTHING. So no one is happy. If Alabama wants to make the drinking age 100, integrate Jesus into curriculum, have no health care, etc. Let them. Just give Colorado the option of legalizing marijuana, force everyone to have a single payer system, raise income tax, etc.

    Saw Stop has its limitations. It basically works the same way a touch lamp or GFCI works. You create a ground, ground is sensed, action is done. In this instance the action is shoving a block of aluminum into the saw blade.

    You can't cut wood over a certain % water because the wood will act as a ground, creating a false positive and you get to spend $70 on a sacrificial piece of aluminum and new blade.

    So there are good reasons for NOT having this 'safety feature'.

    All the defense lawyer has to do is prove is that this guy at any time in his life has cut wood with a high % of water, something he could not have done on the Saw Stop.

    "Far more expensive". I'm only getting a $80 difference.

    Assuming you have 2 computers One with XP and one with 10.0. To upgrade to 7 would cost $480. To upgrade to 10.6 would cost $550.

    Apple also has Family Packs for up to 5 computers. If you have 2-5 computers in the house, your Windows costs just doubled, tripled, quadrupled or quintoupled. (They had a "limited time offer" but if you missed it too bad).

    How much does Windows server cost per seat? Snow Leopard Server only comes in 1 flavor: Unlimited. How much does it cost per CPU? 2, 4, 6, 8 cores will require a different license.

    In other words, you are not required to obtain more Datacenter Edition server licenses than the total number of processors on that server (2 processor minimum).

    Does Windows 7 have anything close to GrandCentral? (Not that they couldn't Apple opensourced it).

    When I changed my keyboard layout to Dvorak on Windows 7 and deleted the US layout it STILL insists on using QWERTY for anything in the start menu. Seriously, how fucking hard is it figure out a keyboard layout?
