"Don't forget the neckbraces that explode when you go beyond the perimeter. We have those today in the form of shopping carts with wheels that lock if you take them outside the parking lot."
My dogs would tell you that a closer example might be the shock collar that each wears around their necks that remind them of the perimiter of our yard...
"I'd go further: companies that enjoy the same legal rights as individuals should bear the same legal responsibilities as individuals. The corporate equivalent of serving a prison sentence is suspending commercial activity. If a company commits a crime (ie if responsibility cannot be attributed to any single employee), the company should serve the same sentence as a person who commits the same crime."
Problem is this will drive the corp out of business and the only people to grieve its death will be the poor grunts that do all the real work - manufacturing level jobs, warehouse jobs, delivery jobs, mail room, software developers, systems administrators, folks that work the counters of the stores, answer the phones, make the phone calls, etc...
Good news though is that with that we can bring this full circle and back to China. When that corp goes out of business, the "evil" executives just create another one, only this time headquarter it in another country and use chinese labor for all the manufacturing and minimize the US side of the corp to strictly distribution, use a name close to the old one for that great recognition, and this time keep all the big money out of the US.
"Build a website that catalogues all the evil shit corporations do to employees, so that consumers get to know about the evil shit and take their business elsewhere.
Call it something like, whodotheyfuckoverwiththemoneyyougivethem.com, only shorter, while making sure the word stealth appears nowhere within.)
It it catches on, then corporations would be afraid of how their treatment towards employees could count against the way consumers look at them."
Sorry but it just does not work. If it did every corp out there would treat its employees as human beings. As it is now some actually do treat them well and some dont.
Usually its not even the corp that is the problem, its some insane manager that gets pleasure from others pain. The kind that would invent some idea like locking employees inside of a store, force them to work, then refuse to pay them over time. When that story went public with the lawsuits and criminal charges did it stop people from shopping at the Sprawl Mart? Nope they just kept going in and buying stuff...
What is even better is he is getting valid criticism. He's not getting trashed or beat up, rather getting helpful suggestions with actual substance to get him and that site going in a better direction....
I am impressed.
Did you ever think about contacting the Ham and politely explaining what is happening? If somebody were to contact me I would help them out in a heartbeat. There are all sorts of tricks to be used to fix this including special filters and so on that would probably clear up the problem.
That is assuming that in fact the guy is a ham and not just some guy with a CB and an illegal amp. The ham guy can legaly put out up to 1500 watts PEP when transmiting on some freqs in some situations...
Sometimes the issue is not the transmitter but the reciever - in some cases the TV will actually have parts inside that resonate at the same freq as the transmitter and that causes the problem...
Please identify the 'conventional fuel' used to generate electricity and recharge the battery during braking.
The "conventional fuel" used is the petrol burned to attain the speed at which you required braking - unless you are lucky enough to be going downhill every time you need to slow down...
Not that I hate Norton or anything;) but, seriously, I wish that company would get sucked into an enormous black hole and never ever ever return.
So you wish they were to be purchased by a large corp in Renton Wa?

The company is doing just fine, still growing.
Best use of the word bloody in a post, considering the tangent this went on.... "poking yourself to set the bloody thing"

I believe that god is an almighty chicken being.
