  9. If you were CEO . . on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1
    Your rant is understandable from your current position as a commoner.

    Corporations are antithetical to values

    But When you become a CEO in future [ Just for this argument ! :-> ] , whether you'll REFUSE the good pay & hold on to the 'values' you mentioned , is anybody's guess.

    In America today, how hard you work has very little to do with how successful you are

    Sorry to say this. But that statement was plain dumb.Its well known that, anywhere in the world [ & almost in any industry ] , people who do low end jobs , physically hard jobs with long working hours are among the lowest paid in the organisation .And as the hierarchical level goes higher , the pay rises .The work is different and is managerial among other things.Why blame America for that?

    Your rationalization that "since the people at the bottom and top of the hierarchical ladder work the same number of hours, the pay should not be big for the top person " does not hold water.

    So whats the big deal about mass mailing worms decreasing?

    I see more and more computers ,that are infected by simply connecting to the INTERNET [ even on a freshly installed MS WINDOWS]

    I have visted a few finance site like yahoo finance,checked mail etc.I have no idea from where these viruses came from!!!

    Oh yea, i got NAV2003,ZA firewallAdaware,spybot etc, but nothing seems ward off viruses n trojans....

    At this rate,iam beginning to fear using comps ,althoug i have used it for more than a decade.
