That's not a terrible idea for new hires. I just don't see it working for additional training for a current employee. If you're going to temporarily cut my pay in order to send me to a training class, then I'm essentially just paying for the training myself.
There's ways around that. Some companies put a repayment clause in the employment contract. The clauses basically say that if you receive training and quit in a certain period of time (3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc), then you are responsible for paying the company back for the training costs.
The big difference for me is in turnaround time. If I place an order with Newegg, it's generally shipped the same business day... ordering from Amazon usually has a week turnaround for the free (non-Prime) shipping. Adding to that, a lot of the items on Newegg have free shipping as well, not free shipping on orders over $25, just plain old free shipping.
I'd say that Captain America is not that kid friendly (YMMV of course). This is set in WWII, so there's gunfights, people being shot, and quite a bit of death. There are energy weapons that vaporize people, and at least one person falling through a propeller that turns into a fine mist.
if your kids are doing illegal activities, they deserve to get caught. how can you defend a kid smoking pot? i'll be happy if google runs their image analysis on every photo posted and automatically reports it to the police if it sees someone smoking illegal drugs, or drinking underage, along with gps info so cops can teach them a lesson.
seriously, however cool it is to do drugs, it is still very harmful to you. and we should be trying to prevent kids from falling into the vicious cycle of drugs>poverty>prostitution>drugs and so on.
Right! Drugs ruins lives... just ask Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bloomberg, etc...Look how they've fallen into poverty. I can't speak to their use of prostitutes.
The most dangerous thing about most drugs is what will happen to you if you're arrested with them. Fucking drug warrior morons who believe that drugs are illegal because they're dangerous, and they're dangerous because they're illegal.
My way of dealing with this is asking them what happens if someone logs in as you and sends a nasty e-mail to your boss? The systems would then show that the user had sent this nasty e-mail to their boss... then ask them what happens when a bad e-mail gets sent to the All Employees distribution list. After explaining it this way, I've actually seen some users take the time to lock their systems up when they get up to get a cup of coffee.
Until you can show some way that it would cause them harm, they won't care... once it's their ass on the line, they start to understand how it can hurt them.
Just a note here... It was a TV mini-series adaptation (which the TV adaptations of King's work usually hold up well). While Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption were both based on novellas instead of novels.
I'd say The Shining (movie version), and Green Mile are both the exception, rather then the rule.
Fucked combat? It wasn't through time you fell through, it was from an alternative universe . Combat in FO3 is stellar... for what it is trying to be, namely a Roleplaying Game. It is not a FPS, never was intended to be (nor were the previous Fallout instances). You are supposed to use VATS in most circumstances. The only ones I can think of where you don't use VATS are
* very easy foes (radroaches after you reached a certain level, for example)
* whenever you don't have any action points left but don't want/can't wait. In that case, and here I might be mistaken, your luck (the game stat) plays a bigger role in whether you'll hit or not than during VATS events where your skills are more important.
There's another time VATS fails. Sniping. I can line up a sniper shot and hit 90% of the time or better (outside of VATS), and only have a chance of 20% or less inside of VATS.
The other issues with Fallout 3 were the ending (which actually keeps you from continuing), the fact they made power armor shitty, the technical issues, and the PIPBoy issues with the Survival edition that Bethesda is ignoring...
Nope... Bethesda took out the Childkiller option. Kids apparently run away if you hit them... Bethesda's line on it was that they wouldn't be able to sell the game anywhere if you could kill children...
Ignore the first two games... they couldn't be sold anywhere...
One difference between the Libertarians and the Republicans is that the Republicans have gotten themselves closely tied to evangelical religious groups...
The Libertarian party is also more likely to throw someone who agrees with 95% of what they do over the side of the boat for that 5% difference...

Yes... yes it does.
Seriously... you're claiming that /. is in the tank for the red team?

How about Beowolf?
That's a good way to put it... With the addition of a fairly creepy Red Skull.

T-Mobile. I bought my phone outright, which puts you on a different cost plan.
The price difference is about $20 a month (so the 500 minute talk time plan runs $60, instead of $80).
I'm tempted to write the Fourth Amendment on my chest the next time I fly.

Then you aren't cynical enough yet...
Sorry... it takes a six digit prime UID to truly be awesome.
Don't forget the new splash screen on OpenOffice.org, including the reversion to the really old icons.

Ahh... Q-bert... the game that emulated the sound of a quarter being dropped in, and had a mechanism to hit the bottom of the cabinet when you died...
And a really horrible... horrible cartoon made of it...

Actually... with T-Mobile, at least when I was recently pricing out Voice and Data plans, the no contract plan was $20 cheaper then the contract plan.

Actually... Windows ME was supposed to be the Windows 9x upgrade path... While Windows 2K was the upgrade path from NT.
Of course... that didn't work out so well since ME was the worst Microsoft OS since BOB...

Actually, I think it was Win2K that first required you to sysprep a machine after copying the drive... (and some quick googling supports it)...

Easy. Ask them for their bank account numbers and their PINs.
If they do online banking, ask for their usernames/passwords for their accounts...
Amazingly, I bet they want to hide that information...

Don't forget Ohio had a long running scandal with a Republican Governor. Of course... now there's a fun scandal about a Democrat Attorney General...
Up until the AG scandal broke this year, I was calling Ohio solidly for the Democrats. Now, it may be back in play again...
