Amen to that! Don't forget the "protagonist" is a child rapist. Holy crap I wanted to kill myself just to get out of finishing the book. Unfortunately I can't just put a book down. To heap misfortune on top of that it's a trilogy of trilogies. (You can see where this is going). I managed to stop after reading 3 of them.
Luckily the suicide hotline is free....
Actually, IBM is actively hiring mainframe skills all over the board... support, development... the lot. There are still schools in the country training new blood in the arts of ESA/390 and z/Architecture (not to mention the dearth of training IBM does). Sure there are lots of people getting on in years, but there are lots of young people as well. Also, I don't know where you get your salary info, but that's not quite right.
From TFA "If selected, the employees would be allowed to take a leave of absence from the company, " this gives them the option to return to full-time status at a later date
When I was a kid I always wanted Optimus Prime As I'm sure most of you know he's the leader of the Autobots (the good-guy Transformers). Anyhow, one year when I was about 8, I got Megatron - leader of the Decepticons (the baddies). Stuff the pic of that bastard. What can I say... I was crushed. So much so that I had dreams that I had gotten Optimus instead.... fast forward 17 years (ya know... roughly) and they had a 20th anniversary Optimus Prime and my Mom gave it to me for my birthday. Needless to say I was ecstatic, and 7 months later I'm still playing with it. ...insert cruel joke here... So... although it's not exactly a classic toy, it sort of is, and I couldn't have been more happy about it!
Megatron is teh ghey
Although this whole line is pretty much off-topic. I agree with you. Basically in America you cannot discipline your kids in any way. If you yell at them it's emotional abuse, if you spank them or make them do yard work it's physical abuse. I received my share of spanks and smacks (and most likely deserved all of them) and you'd best believe I learned a lesson. Don't get me wrong, I dont advocate beating the crap out of your kid every time you're a bit peeved, but I think spanking is in order from time to time. Note: I've only needed to spank my child once (and it hurt me way more) and the lesson was learned. America seems to be all about coddling kids and their "feelings". I heard about a guy in Tucson that threatened to spank his kid, so the kid reported him to his school, who in turn reported the guy to CPS, and they took the kid away..... ridiculous? def.

Theyre doing it on a trial basis, and the employees are hearing about it the same time you are

Perhaps Mr Spock could shed some light on Martian vulcanism...

In San Diego, you could check out The computer museum of America . In Arizona, you could check out The Titan Missile Museum as well as the not-so-successful Biosphere 2
