A Massage Parlor is literally what it is: a place ot get massages. Shiatsu was the only one I knwo for certain they gave, but I only came in just as they were closing up shop.
However, the parlor you are thinking about probably exists at Google. Now you don't ever have to leave the office.
Unless you are severely diabetic (in which case I'm going to feel like a heel), I think your problem is not with the amount of time you have to eat, but with the amount you eat.
...are an excellent indicator, in my experience, of the success of a company. For instance, I used to work at Nortel (Nortel.ca), one of Canada's premier hihg-tech companies during the bubble.
During the bubble, the cafeteria was practically giving away food. Actually, they were doing precisely that -- many days during the week your lunch would be paid for. One could also go down at any time and pick up soda fountain drinks for free. This, like so many things (like the free massage parlor) were not to last...
As Nortel's profits declined, so did the number of different food stalls in the cafeteria. Similarly, I couldn't even go down to pick up a glass of soda water -- the company stopped giving it away. In fact, the ice water cooler was likewise turned off. The breakrooms were stripped of their free coffee and tea (and hot chocolate, *sigh*). And their water coolers were removed. And then the styrofoam cups (and their subsequent paper brethern faced a similar fate). Then they got rid of the plates and plastic forks and spoons. Finally, when the free sugar sachets left, so did I.
I guess I can finally say I am what I ate -- unemployed.
Now, I understand that one can purchase this new-fangled box to allow those with analogue televisions to watch digital signals, but something strikes me as just bad:
With a country that is facing extremem pollution levels, a river (the Mississippi) that no one will ever swim in again (and live without a third-eye to tell the tale), and newspapers that routinely throw away more than a small forest's worth of paper every issue, such an idea to render millions (if not billions) of television sets obsolete (since, it is unlikely that the poor -- of which there are multitudes in America -- will be able to spare the money out of their already stressed paycheques to afford this, though I would not doubt that many will try) seemes like a gigantic waste.
But the danger of waste does not spawn from the proletariate class; instead, the danger is from the middle and upper classes who will look at their outdated machine and decide to upgrade. Well gee-willickers, now we have millions of televisions heading for the dump.
THis digital cable has _NOT_ been sufficiently introduced to lower the cost for the average Joe, and this very well could be a major disaster for congress since, and I hate to admit it, America opperates on the SPQR policy of Bread and Ciruses. Yes, those 'pleasantly plump' individuals can now eat more of those twinkies according to ABC's 'investigative report', but the "circuses" aspect is just as important.
This is yet another example of corporate America shooting themselves in the foot, in the long run -- both environmentally, and monetarily.
If companies now act as a defacto government in almost every major country in the world (to come extent or another) then perhaps they ought to get involved in social issues. We can harp all we want that companies ought to get their noses out of society, but that is far too idealistic for me -- it will never happen; Pandora's box has been opened and it can't be closed. So, if companies now act as a government, or at least influence it far beyond the average individual, we may very well see something akin to the old (and still present) labour unions who fight for their members (compny employees), or more likely, for their own self-serving interests. To an extent, this already occurs in Japan where some unions are run by the company whose employees they protect (I believed they are termed 'House Unions').
Just my two cents, pence, yen, yuan, or rupees.
...Additionally, the site features none other than Scott Bakula as Captain Archer on the bridge of the Enterprise...
Scott should feel proud, he sahres something in common with NASA: both he and NASA have experienced crashing and burning.... Probably not the most appropriate joke, but then again I hate olitical correctness.
Well, let us think about this logically:
1. To sue, you need a lawyer.
2. To go to court to answer the summons, you would likely want a lawyer (unless you have law experience).
3. When the juge throws the case out of court, you will need another lawyer (or the same one) to sue HP for the legal fees. You of course, will never see a penny as HP's lawyer would just hand over a check to your lawyer.
So what I am saying is, if anyone is going to win, it'll be the Australians..... you thought I was going to say lawyer, didn't you?
Not only is the "genetically modified corn" threat possible, it happened. IN Canada several farmers (if memory serves me right, might have been only one) was(/were) sued for growing corn that was PROPERTY OF MONSANTO(TM).
How do we deal with legal attacks?

Now that I think about it, there are several very difficult problems with such legislation. AMong the hardest to define, however, would be what constitutes "taking over".
Let's face it, we all know some idiot users out there who do things that are just dumb (like clicking on that "Yes" button for GATOR's new and improved super-duper piece of $#!+). With that installation comes a whole host of things but the user did knowingly and willingly click on that "yes".
Now normally I'd say that this doesn't constitute an excuse. If I am caught speeding, I can't plead to the cop -- "Sorry I didn't know 200mph was speeding!" Computers are, however, rather mysterious beasts to most and thus legislation can be harder to define.
Controlled votes such as Cuba, USSR, *cough*America*cough*, and China are known as a "formal democracy". I believe it was first introduced with Stalin's government (no time to check at the moment).

Oh! So that's why the hotel staff looked shocked when I ask the female attendant where I could find a massage parlor!
Surely I jest.... Or do I?

Are you intentionally trying to discourage people from getting into the industry?
Now that you mention it, yes, yes I am. The new projection D&D board industry is just soooo much more potent at the moment...
