    So wrong....
    You think all those million dollar sexual harassment lawsuits are paid for by the harasser?
    A company is VERY liable if it doesn't try to prevent a hostile workplace. Especially if it knows its happening.

    For as long as businesses allow incoming SMTP e-mail, their employees will always be exposed to all forms of Spam, including pornographic.
    I don't know about that.... I haven't received a single piece of spam my entire time working here, and none of my coworkers have ever mentioned it either. So I guess the head office must be doing something right.
    Or maybe they're just afraid to spam @doj.gov ;)

    One big reason is the USA is huge compared to most countries. And these alternative power sources normally cost a lot more in setup cost then your average power plant. So it would cost us a lot more to go around building these things everywhere.
    Another big reason starts with G ends with H. and has eorge W. Bus in the middle.

    You know that the casino didn't cheat.
    Unless you play any game besides cards.....
    Slot machines, roulette, craps; there's no way for an individual player to confirm that any of those games aren't rigged.
    If a casino is going to cheat you; its going to cheat you whether online or physical.
    The only reason physical ones are 'safer' is because they require a lot more people to run, so if there is cheating going on someone is going to blow the whistle.
