Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a commonly misunderstood theory. It's about motivation. You can't expect someone to do something for self actualization, when safety need isn't being met.
He theorizes that in order to have self-actualization as a motivator, you need to first fulfill physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem etc... A employee who cannot meet physiological needs will not be motivated by esteem needs.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivation theory.
Of course, Alderfer's ERG theory is also important to examine.
I have decent pay and happiness in my job. I pay my bills, and work little, if any overtime. I work for a profitable tech company. I know next week my job will still be here, as long as I keep doing it, and am not subject to to bad management at the moment.
I think if you're happy with your job, you'll be likely be happy with your pay, else you won't be happy with your job.
You can do anything (except copying for profit) you want with the disc
Bollocks. There's plenty of rare vinyl out there that people have made a tidy profit on over the years.
unless there is a contract preventing you from doing something
What contract is on the CD? I haven't bought a CD in a while, but I don't see any contract when I buy the CD, nor do I sign one. Where am I given the opportunity to negotiate the contract?
How is it different than the PSTN? The FBI has the capability, essentially, to dial a phone number and listen in on it. They need a warrant of course, but they can easily tap phone lines.
Not since the patriot act they haven't needed a warrant.
Btw, here's an article that explains which articles of the Geneva convention the US has violated.
They spin laws in their favour. Simply calling them detainees instead of POW's itself is a violation of article 4 of the Geneva convention. After all, the term detainee is nothing more than a euphamism for prisoner anywah.
In America, everyone has certain inalienable rights, but I guess a US base doesn't count.
Furthermore, if America is fighting a "War on terror" and have detained someone for being involed in terror, can't we assume that they are a "Prisoner of War"?
America just changed the definition so that they don't have to abide by international law. They are POW's, being held without trial or due process, many for an unjustified period. That's why I compare the US to China - this is a callous act.
Again, my country is no better. Canada imprisoned and eventually deported Zundell without trial or due process either. I don't support Zundell, but support his right to trial.
We have one camp - ONE - filled with the scum of the earth and it has to be where it is because people like you (and your packs of lawyers) would be setting these bastards free once they hit our shores
Find me one transcript of one trial of any of these people.
Truth be told, y'all believe in due process when it suits you, but then you lock ppl up in Guantanamo Bay without trial.
You guys go wage war in the name of freedom, yet you ignore the notion of freedom at home. It's really pathetic IMO.
Odd, a friend of mine bought a Gigabyte board and had some serious issues with a bad production run.
After a couple weeks and lots of trouble with his machine, he found his board was missing a capacitor next to the processor that later versions had. No mention of the problem on Gigabyte's web site, some guy on a forum found it by comparing an earlier run with a later run to find the missing capacitor. They were good to repair it, but they covered it up pretty good too..
I'm not a huge fan of Gigabyte. Honestly, I've grown fond of Soltek... My last one really gave me no trouble at all, and I think I'd give them another chance, for a less expensive board they are really nice...
Often times you can pay the pawn shop the amount of money they paid for the property and have the money returned to you.
So a pawn shop owner buys stolen property, and you have to pay them to recover it??? Crazy...
So if an individual is in posession of stolen goods it's a felony, but if it's a pawn shop it doesn't matter? That's just stupid.

The hole in the Coke v. Pepsi argument is that McDonalds would be required to have twice the amount of fountain dispensers, placing burden upon them. They just simply don't have the room for both dispensers.
Notice that 7-Eleven and other convenience stores frequently have both brands in their coolers because of the low overhead costs? You'll be hard pressed to find any company with only type of bottled beverage. They all carry both.
I'm not going to get too heated about this because there are probably very good reasons, but what exactly is the point of the "appeal" process.
You obviously don't understand science then. Every scientific finding is subject to peer review. So is every legal finding. Sometimes judges don't know what to do, and make a call that's incorrect. It can happen, and only a peer review can correct it. That's why the appeal process is the way it is. Sometimes it's important to be really, really sure.
Given how many unversal archiving tools are out there, I'd say that it's an easy fix. I use FilZip, but there's tonnes of others out there that'll handle rar, ace, and zip equally.
Not only that, but I've seen IT people for some major companies who haven't even heard of anything other than zip. I've sent out rar or ace archives before and they don't have a clue how to extract them.

AFAIK, VW Diesels are workhorses good for 500,000kms or more... Not sure if we can say the same about hybrids... It isn't a time tested technology.
It'd be interesting to see in a few years.
A hybrid diesel sounds like a fantastic idea... I wonder if they can idle as low as a gasoline engine though..

Do you really think your hybrid is that much better.
Funny, a Hybrid gets the similar fuel economy to a Golf TDI or a Smart Car.
I'd rather have something with a simple motor in it like a Gold, rather than a Hybrid with a fuel cell that will die a very expensive death.
I'll wager the diesel will just keep on ticking.

being hauled away and shot by government stormtroopers.
No, but rape and torture in Guantanmo Bay is okay right?
Recall McCarthy era, and the old Communist accusations has simply remanifested itself as Terrorist accusations instead.
Freedom in the US is fiction no doubt about that. (Not saying Canada is much better -> we have our own brand of stupidity here)
Hmmm... Do you think the US is any different than China?
Let's talk oppression:
Guantanamo Bay
They open a POW camp in Cuba, who hasn't signed the Geneva convention. How fitting isn't it?
And you Americans complain that the Chinese govt censors, but google does the same thing under the name of the DMCA. Give me a break.

It's just a fact of history: the signature on a treaty is no stronger than the signing arm.
Which is exactly why the US completely disregards NAFTA - the framework they themselves helped build.
They only apply NAFTA as it suits them, not the other way around. The US is no different than China IMO.
My favourite line from that line:

How many pawn shop owners have been arrested for selling stolen goods unknowingly? They surrepticiously obtain goods below market value all the time.
Even at 2200 that's 26K a year
Oh yeah, woops -> calculater is broke haha...
Still pricey, but you guys don't pay the same shitty-a$$ed taxes we pay in Canada eh...
In Boston you would be making around 90K.
And paying 48k/yr for rent if you are willing to commute for 1.5hrs...
I've heard from ppl that Boston's super expensive...

Yes, but there's so many free archivers that'll work with all archives, why stifle yourself with just winzip? Seems silly to me...
Why not something like Filzip? Works well for all my archives, and no licensing like in winzip.
(No linky - I'm lazy)
Not only that, but I've seen IT people for some major companies who haven't even heard of anything other than zip. I've sent out rar or ace archives before and they don't have a clue how to extract them.
The excuse I got??? Zip is "industry standard".
We've cut polutants dramatically in this country and probably do more than almost any country but get no credit for it.
If the US was so benevolent about global warming they'd have signed Kyoto. Instead they provide excuses about it not making economic sense. Bollocks.
