I find this article interesting. Perhaps some workers are wanting peace and harmony and are having trouble getting those needs met in a work environment that I see as increasingly fast-paced, stressful, and unstable. Personally I've been able to meet my needs for peace and even energy through yoga (after being dragged by my girlfriend there).
Observations....
William H. Gross, of Newport Beach (Calif.)'s Pacific Investment Management Co., who often meditates with yoga before a day of trading at his $349 billion money-management firm. Has anyone ever listened to Bill Gross's bond recommendations? They always seem to do much worse than his actual holdings...
So employees can breathe easy: This is one perk that isn't likely to get axed. I've heard this one before... ***** I did Bikram Yoga at Funky Door in Berkeley. Any recommendations?
Better hope you can fit into a wiring closet, if you think cheap bandwidth is a good reason to move to Japan. Even the smallest of basic one-person apartments, in the areas where this kind of bandwidth is available, cost upwards of $800/month. Not to mention the six month deposit.
Sounds like where I live. For example, I paid $1108/mo to *share* one room abt 15x10 in the Berkeley dorms. So when I saw the chance to have my own studio for $1025/mo, I was so happy!
American companies try to milk every last dime out of a technology before they adopt anything new (HDTV sound familiar)? And even then they complain that it will cost them billions, wah, wah!
It all seems very greedy and stupid until you happen to buy a share of a telecom. Then anything that will drive your stock up $1 (and make you a few bucks) seems very reasonable..
1) The Japanese are a people that seem to have an affinity for the latest gadgets and technology which is the reason a lot of really cool things show up first in Japan. Not sure if you can say the same about the average American. Well, have you considered the fact that Japanese tend to have more dispensible income than Americans? Why is this? Not necessarily because they are rich. Maybe because house prices are so astronomical in urban Japan that the money they can't spend to afford a house gets spend on other stuff.
3) Also, if there was something like that over here, they would price it according to value. Let's face it : if people are willing to shell out approx $45 a month for cable/DSL, what would they pay for something like this? Answer : probably $100+ per month. Consequence : Nobody really buys it since the majority are not very tech oriented and really wouldn't see any justification to it. How's this for a justification? This internet connection for half the price is (theoretically) 30+ times faster than your 384kb/s DSL.
try madden 2003. at the beginning, I couldn't stand many of the songs. now, I love them...
after you play for 40+ hours, they get pounded into your head. a positive association if you will. plus, I don't know if there's even an option to turn them off...
I'm not sure that progressive taxation is the answer. Remember The Grade Tax?
Perhaps more interesting are the tax loopholes that the rich tend to use much more than the poorer...
(and I'm still not sure why the poor in Sweden should pay 0% tax while they get a fair share of gov't services. seems to encourage people to make as much as possible in the 0% bracket)

right, and what he says carries weight, because French generals have been significant persons in history.

Then why even play the game? Why not just hang out and socially interact? You don't need an excuse to get together with your friends.
I'll drink to that.
what the fuck.
worst first post....ever
RE: HL, I'd recommend checking out the earlier E3 movie of HL. approximately 500 mb on qt.

AOL bloggers suck...until that hot chick you know starts to write about her personal desires...
It's like AOL Instant Messenger. I wanted to resist, but then this chick got it, and wanted to chat with me, and you know how it went from there.
Strangely, I'm still not sure abt how AOL really plans to make money on this.
if you read the link, you'll see that it's not merely a 3-panel sunday comic.

Newsflash:
China's government has been forcing its banks to give loans to failing enterprises for years. Perhaps we should ban all Chinese SOE imports then.

too bad I have no mod points..
Doesn't the Constitution say that all rights not explicitly granted to the federal government are not within the jurisdiction of the federales?
but then I wouldn't be able to link my real life friends to slashdot and confuse new users into thinking that it's a non-geeky site...
IAAL? Whoa! I haven't seen this before...does that mean that you spout off even more speculative stuff than the IANAL people?
insertion perhaps?
Well the thumb does have girth on its side...
80/20 principle anyone?
the general gist:
20 percent of what companies and individuals do generates over 80 percent of their positive results...
see the book for more...
this works for me.
good luck firing ANYONE in government. At least in California, you're liable to see a shit fit.
your sig is too cool :)
sorry, MIT had an off day today.
teach another Chinese guy how to program, and the job outlook for EE doesn't look so good....

You mean there are other universities besides MIT?
