  3. Hopefully on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 0

    I have moved away from webworking after the last few years but I remember a few things (java, activex, meta) all have tags. I wouldn't doubt that this ad downloading has a tag, trigger, or file extention reff that can be killed as the "main" page is loading. IOW, ignoring all tags in a source that say junk junk junk

    Right?

  4. ERT Weenies on Open Source in Government: Newport News, Va. · · Score: 0

    I work everyday around ERT weenies from all over. The best way they can save money is to take a pay cut and to go for the equipment that works and not the stuff that is "cool" to have. Is saving lives a top priorety? Sure! But ask one of these guys. It's just a job and like a geek lusting over a the latest and greatest, I submit to you Emergency Responce (well, volenteer anyway).

    Bottom line is its just a job. You know how you want that bomb-ass dicky-whoo for your latest "project" ? Thats how these ppl are for whatever device they want. They just hide it under the mask of "it will save lives" bs tag. The latest and greatest x-thousand gallon per min fire truck costs $500,000 (half a mil) rather you could put 16 more police on scene a year or as much as 32 private security officers a year. OR we could switch this further to the health care industry and extrapolate the numbers per body, per pill, per hour, per take your pick because that side of things is all FUBAR.

    Open Source = good don't get me wrong but to hear of these ppl bitching about "cutting costs" is a load of bull. 9/11 shows that the over time pay is there and that the "demand" is there but lets keep ourselves in check here. No body is hurting more than they where. Scare tactics suck and will only get you so far. Security will ALWAYS be a negative in any business because it takes away from the bottom line. Security, on the whole, is a big fat red number negated from the production black.

    I got paid by my company around $765 USD for pooping on company time last year.

    "Corporations only exist and only work towards making a profit for their owners. That is all they do. Ethics do not come into it."

    Yes, you are totally correct in this. A business is a business and has no need for ethics. But you are dead wrong in thinking the GOVERNMENT has anything to do with ethics either. Ethics come from the people that influence the (as you say elected or not) government.

    Now, I know this sounds odd but here goes anyway:
    YOU are RESPONSIBLE for YOU! Nobody else is. Not the government. Not your living conditions. Not the bleeding hearts. Not your mother! You don't like something then you fix it.

    And your last comment of "The tinpot dictator was probably installed there by the US anyway, so the pitiful serfs are stuck with that until the US empire crumbles." shows just how much of a tool you are.

    To think your dribble is rated INFORMATIVE! What the hell?!

  7. Not pollution... REVOLUTION! on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 0

    shepd is right on this and you are wrong. On the whole, the US went through all of this. Sure the field has changed a little bit with cuts in one arena or another but honestly, it's been done.

    It is up to the workers. I'm not a member of any union and currently do not see a need for unions in America. However, change happens with groups. People with a business to run want more and more money to make thier business bigger and better and more profitable. They are going to push this the easy way first (workers get the shaft) then move on.

    When the workers refuse they will think about moving operations wich may work out for awile untill the workers at that location refuse as well. At some point a company either gives in to the workers or tries to outsource and start the cycle over. Good news, the cycle is limited and as soon as workers get on board the sooner your DVD player will cost more.

    BTW... IP sucks, do it for the love of it!

    I'm not sure what the miscommunication is all about. They stalled at the UN while acknowledging there was an "issue" out there. Then tried to play us for fools when we went in. Then wanted to "help" when it looked like we were winning. Now they just got spanked by not being allowed to put in bids for reconstrucion. Mr. Money rules all countries, lets not fool ourselves. I'm glade Bush has his head on straight. It's the classic story of "you didn't help me when I was making the bread. Why should I allow you to enjoy the meal after I made it?"

    Any nitwhit with a pulse can tell you they are fair weather friends... not every nitwhit will tell you that as usefull as WE are to them, they are SOMETIMES usefull to us.

    "The U.S. is a powerfull mofo. Don't fool with us because as much of a big man you may think you are we are at least 8x stronger. Do what we wan't and get allong with us because it is (and this if for you freaky left wingers) RIGHT"
