they can't execute you
There have been cases of whistleblowers dying "suspiciously".
they pay you for all the work you do for them
I know people who work for a company that forces them to complete their work before they can go home. Off the clock, of course (don't want to pay overtime and all that). Why can't they complete their work on time? Because of the wonders of downsizing two people now do the work of ten.
you can leave the company whenever you want
Not if you like living indoors. Or eating.
Everybody agrees that the Apple keyboards and mice SUCK and every Mac user goes out and buys a real keyboard and mouse with more than one button.
Not everyone bucko. I still have my REAL Apple keyboard and mouse two years after I got my Mac. There's nothing wrong at all with the keyboard (in fact, it's the nicest feeling one I've ever had). The only problem I have with the mouse is in games, but I somehow manage. For real work (music and video production, webpage creation, photo editing) the one-button mouse doth not suck. At least it doesn't if you have an OS that is well engineered from a UI perspective. But every Mac sold in the past three and a half years has that included.
With a command line, you speak directly to the program, if you know the language to use.
But what if you don't know the language to use? That's the main advantage of a GUI over a CLI. If you don't know how to do a word count in a command line environment then you must resort to looking it up in help. If you don't know how to do a word count in a GUI then all you have to do is explore the menus to find the command. Every command is already there right in front of you.
..because most people have come to grips with reality...
To put it another way, they've given up because of people like you.
...something stronger than throwing your vote to the opposite of the two candidates that you would otherwise have voted for.
When will you people understand this? If there were no third party candidates then I wouldn't vote for anyone! I am a Liberal. Why the hell would I vote for one of the two main Conservatives (Bush/Kerry)? That would be stupid.
I had exercises that I had to do with a textbook, pencil and pad of paper. It was boring...

Nowadays, you need to have an educational game to make kids "learn". Tell me how this doesn't lead to kids getting bored from learning from an instruction book or during class?
In "the good old days" (whenever you were young), learning bored you, but it was good. Nowadays these young whipper snappers get bored with learning and it's because of the Evil Games of Learning?
I remember that the best teachers that I had actually taught me things, not had me just regurgitate what he or she was saying. They had fun and creative ways to challenge the class. The worst teachers I had just read out of a textbook. What exactly is wrong with making learning fun?
I wonder if the people who say one thing and do another... realize they are doing it or if they truly think they are special and doing the right thing.
Remember, unlike in the movies no one ever thinks that they are evil. Everyone (Caesar, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Pinochet, etc.) thinks that they are doing the right thing and anyone who opposes them is evil. Not that I think George Lucas is evil, of course.
Have there ever been any successful lawsuits against a software company for shipping a flawed product? In other words, do you have any evidence to back up your claims?
No, a vote for anyone but Kerry is a vote for anyone but Kerry. If third party candidates did not exist then I wouldn't vote for anyone.
Kerry is the only person we can vote for who can wind them down.
Did you even read the article? He's not going to wind them down, he's going to wind them up.
From the article:
"When asked how many additional troops should be deployed Iraq, Kerry said that once in office, he would "sit with the generals" and discuss the size of the increase. Earlier, he had told Defense News that he would add two divisions to the current 10-division army -- an increase of 40,000 troops -- while continuing reseach and development of the Star Wars missile defense/corporate welfare system and, not surprisingly, raising the overall military budget."
If that's "winding down" then I'd hate to see what he would do if he were a hawk.
He has also stated that even knowing what he knows now, that Iraq had no WMDs and wasn't a threat to the US he would still have gone to war.
Your.sig, and the article it links to, make sense only in a vacuum where someone other than Kerry or Bush might win the election.
If people voted for whoever they wanted and not who has the most chances of winning then we wouldn't have this problem. If your man Kerry was trailing by 30-40 points would you vote for Bush since he had the best chance of winning?
So why are you promoting votes for catastrophic war?
I'm not. Anyone who votes for Bush or Kerry is voting for war. It's sad that you are so delusional that you can't see that by Kerry's own statements he is as warmongering (if not more so) than Bush. (On a side note, is there a such thing as a non-catastrophic war?)
Wouldn't the original be the book? The 1953 movie was very different than the book. I liked the book much better, mainly due to the contrast between the 19th century Earth and the much more advanced Martians. The towering Martian war machines were much more frigtening in my mind than the hood-ornament saucers in the movie.
First, your argument does not matter because there is no question that Apple breached the settlement.
Actually it is not clear if Apple Computer has breached the settlement.
From the Judgement of Feb 2004:
""The parties acknowledge that certain goods and services within the Apple Computer Field of Use are capable of delivering content within the Apple Corps Field of Use. In such case, even though Apple Corps shall have the exclusive right to use or authorise others to use the Apple Corps Marks on or in connection with content within subsection 1.3(i) or (ii), Apple Computer shall have the exclusive right to use or authorise others to use the Apple Computer Marks on or in connection with goods or services within subsection 1.2 (such as software, hardware or broadcasting services) used to reproduce, run, play or otherwise deliver such content provided it shall not use or authorise others to use the Apple Computer Marks on or in connection with physical media delivering pre-recorded content within subsection 1.3(i) or (ii) (such as a compact disc of the Rolling Stones music)." [Apple vs Apple]
Notice that it says physical media. Apple has never released a CD of music. Therefore they aren't in breach of the settlement. By your own logic then, your argument does not matter because there is no question that Apple Computer didn't beach the settlement. QED.
Wacky is funny. The first few seasons were kind of boring. But back then it was still better than most shows. Only now going back to the early episodes do I see how plodding they were.
The only thing I don't like about current episodes are all the gratuitous celebrity cameos. That's one thing the early episodes got right (have the celebrities play someone besides themselves).
...saying that it is a "fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen."
Then I guess we are under no general duty to provide their salary? The next time some politician or police union is trying to raise police wages remember this decision.

Yes you can. Just do a force quit (Command + Option + Esc), select the Finder, and click Restart. The Finder will terminate and restart.
Don't forget to wipe your chin when you're done. Mr. Gates doesn't like it when you dribble afterwards.

Then how come the Dems are in the back pockets of the corporations?

Imagine that you bought the tickets but were told that all the theaters were full.
Oh, and you can't get a refund on your ticket.
Oh wait.
My parent's computer is a four-year-old Gateway and it has a USB keyboard and mouse. So no luck needed, thank you very much.

Then just call them "Sweet 10h" and "Final 2+2".
The older people get, the more they think they know. By the time they retire they know EVERYTHING!
Conspiracy nut? Like the nuts who cling to the "Magic Bullet" theory despite evidence to the contrary?

Well since I bought an iPod in order to drown out the annoying comercial radio that they play at work, for me FM is a bug, not a feature.
There are more portable players out there with more functions...
The only function I really care about is the ability to play music. Everything else is just bloat.
To put it another way, they've given up because of people like you.

This is all strangely familiar.
