Corporations are PEOPLE, just like soylent green.
Some "associate / analyst / economist" up the line, looking at a spreadsheet,
maxing the bottom line for profit decided to fire your sorry ass. Kill them.
No machine has ever fired anybody. Just People.
It's all the stock market and the mantra that the investors come first.
Get rid of that gaming hall and employment and the world economy might settle down.
Just restrict trades to hold for a one year period and the thrashing profit machine
will be shut down.

The above statements are pure fantasy but will be implemented during the coming food riots.
Why the hell is this rated +2 insightful? Has socity sunk to such inhumane levels that this kind of crap is expected? What are you mods thinking? Losing a job in the 90's was judged to be as stressful as the death of a parent or a divorce. I guess now that we (you) have accepted McJobs as a norm. Now this kind of corporate bullshit will only increase. I say RISE UP, refuse to buy radio shaft crap ( and it has always been crap ). But, Then you will be only hurting the cow-orkers left. Corporate asshats will just move on to the next ripe playing field. Next time you're on the road, and you see a late model BMW or Lexus, Just shove that bastard into a bridge abuttment with your tarus. Cheers! My capcha was GAUCHE (ha ha)

There has been a big change in the state of "employment" in the past 10 years. Previously, you went to work, 8-9 AM and and left at 5-6 PM, after that, you didn't belong to the company. You could party, short coke, smoke dope, drink till you got ill, but as long as it didn't affect your standing or performance at work, they didn't care. I'm, not saying that drug use is good or acceptable, but it was YOUR time. Now you are being evaluated for life-style choices such as over consumption of (food), tobacco, hazardous activities and god knows what else. When this happens, we lose freedom, to snort coke, but also to jump out of a plane, or climb a rock wall. Employees have just become assets on the bottom line, to be evaluated much like a piece of machinery. JimD.
One that vampired my time without returning any joy (this was a while ago) Outpost: A game that looked beautiful, with great cut scenes and setup. Until you got to the planet, where you discovered you had made mistakes in provisioning and would now die a slow death with no way to rectify the situation. Of course, the setup took over 30 minutes and you had to go back through all the Beautiful, but now redundant crap for yet another 20 minutes of death and bullshit before returning to square one. JimD.
I don't stand around watching the progress bar or the blinking light on my DVD burner. Do you have a life? The first burner I experienced was a 900$ plextor 1X that took almost a hour to burn a cd, And I was happy with that. It sounds like you have a pile of self important, useless crap that will never ever be looked at once it's on the disk. Sucks to be you it seems.
To control and track the rest of us in their march to own this place and force all of us into vitural or actual slavery. This has already happened to a great degree. The social contract that business and government once had for the improvement of the human condition has been corrupted by these people and corporations. You are most likely, already a slave. Many say that this social contract never existed, But without give and take, anarchy and destruction of our current socity will be the final result.
Isn't your reply narrow minded in the interpretation of closed == "invitation only"? That is assuming you did read the FA? Microsoft has screwed up HTML, java and a bunch of internet protocols in an attempt to subvert developers into making MICROSOFT COMPATABLE products. Screw the fact that microsoft "extensions" don't work with the rest of the universe, usually add nothing to the feature base and corrupts the expansion of standards already implemented. Microsoft calls the shots. Ya I'M All For That. Cause I'm Living It.

Cheap power supplies are the major cause of problems I have encountered when I build systems for friends and myself. In the old 486-66/Pentium 500 days, A supposed 450 Watt supply that weighed as much as a dried birds nest would actually puke out enough watts and the same amount of heat to run a K5-500 with 512K and a couple PCI cards. These Mfg scums, and the retailers are now pushing this crap for systems targed at A64 and P4 processors that require so much power you can see the traces throb when underway. If you can hold it in one hand at arms length for a min, It's probably crap. JimD.
If your develop safety critical code, or anything that requires hi-rel you need to break down the application into functional testable units, with test fixtures to test each module. Then a integration test framework. You can't create a "verified" correct system with ad-hoc testing. Unless you're very good and you own the whole thing and then it's just you that knows it's right, Ya right. JimD.
Aluminum plants are being demolished at an amazing rate. A plant in Troutdale Or. I had done work for in 2001 was leveled. Likewise most of the existing aluminum plants in the USA have been flattened due to energy costs. Sounds like a great way to save energy, reduce alumina to aluminum and then reduce aluminum to alumina. I doubt there is enough smelter capacity to supply beer can and airplane part requirements without recycling the metal that is in the system. BTW: Beer can metal is a top grade alloy. Last I heard, 27 cans/Lb.
You could just combust powdered aluminum and get more energy. Of course, it would return less energy then it took to smelt the metal. This is just stupid. I thought this was a new metal hydride storage method. You want to bet the US Fed granted $$$ for this little scam? BTW: I used to work in the aluminum industry, Smelting, developing experimental control systems to reduce energy use, In Australia, Bell Bay. This idea is a total bunch of crap, right up there with unity power.
Why would I want my pharm co. to give away billions of potential profits to a bunch of third world losers? We here in the #1 have free corp supplied meds and I don't give a shit about those that can't bang the rocks together. If they had propper lineage they wouldn't be holding their dirty fingers out for a filthy copper. Fuck then all, Corp america rules, take over the world Bush, rummy, rove PNAC, we will kill you all and take your shit... Gotta check my stocks...
