Have any studies been done on career decision processes, men v: women? IMHO women seem to opt for the best cost:benefit, while men as a group, produce more individuals willing to go on with a less profitable option. Or if they give up their dream, there's a woman back of it;)
As a Merkin, I dread the day when the immigrants realise they don't need to speak English any more. Even more, I fear my Redneck fellows who'll probably start some whitepanther subversion and bring down the People's wrath on my ethnic minority.
Before my second wife went loco, I thought it would be generous of me to share my superior genetic development with the world. Things didn't go quite as planned, and my career was altered. The single-dad thing kinda overwhelmed me, actually. IMHO women do that better, as they are more pragmatic. YMMV.
My girlfriend is in Social Work because she couldn't afford Nursing School. I believe that she thought Nursing was high-paying, she's worked in Hospitals enough not to see there's no openings for a Saint. What she's passionate about is Crystal Energy or some New-Age Hoodoo, I try not to talk about it.
This is possibility. In my limited observation, I have seen that Women seem more pragmatic than Men. If a woman loves math more than anything, she's still going to do the math and choose a career that pays better or allows other options.
Having the Magazine out & emptied, and the bolt locked open, might be rules that non-combatants follow to keep from getting shot or arrested. Wild Ass Guess, I don't live there.
Yes, and in a case as egregious as this, I believe the law provides some kind of multiplier. 10x comes to mind, I forget. I just think it's arbitrary that vox populi (the copyright lobbyists) should have criminalised this. If thugs hijack a truck of CDs it is no more criminal than the theft of the data, property-wise, but the data theft belongs under the civil code.
Okay, we'll call that a simile since it's not quite precisely what the perp did. I suggest a civil court should determine the amount of damages, and award the copyright holders with X dollars, which debt can't be erased through bankruptcy, &c. The difference between stealing a loaf of bread and copying bits of data is profoundly greater than the difference between stealing a wallet at knifepoint vs: swindling widow's pensions, which our Fearless Leaders have actually differentiated. In other words, I disagree with the misdemeanor definition of this crime.
Prima fascia, this does seem like a civil issue, but IANAL. Wouldn't it be ironic to hold corporations' Directors criminally liable for the shit they are culpable of?
Good old fashioned law enforcement, (Round up the usual suspects, Mick!) enhanced with computers, is like a GPS-enabled barcode tattoo. Welcome to the real world! Disclaimer: I don't have any more use for a thief than a cop who accidently beats (and maims) the wrong guy, then arrests him for resisting arrest in order to square the paperwork. (After one of his accomplices informs him that the actual suspect has been apprehended elsewhere.)
I could relate an unfortunate number of megillahs regarding my personal experiences with my government servants. This misplacement of documents is one of the pillars of our infrastructure.
Precisely. Unfortunately, some of my best friends are idiots, so I am desperately trying to learn how to couch my exposition so as to be unobtrusive. I heard once something about "people only want to hear what they already know", &c... So true.
Informative, yes, insightful, more so. Reminds me of a troubling question I had recently, what % of our land surface is undisrupted by human "improvement"? Of probably greater import, What % of our ocean's volume is undisrupted by human abuse? WAG (Wild Ass Guess) if 15% of the humans on this planet could grok these two questions, major paradigm shift would occur, and "Western Civilization" could be sustained into the next century. 15% being decidedly unattainable in my neighborhood, I'm rather dismayed by the prospects.
"you must admit that democracy on a large scale is fundamentally flawed and even dangerous." For years I've been saying "Vote as if it mattered." and working at the polls. I have noticed, OTOH, that Americans tend to uphold their privilege to be ignorant, to the point of death. I believe our country was founded in an anomalous period, "The Enlightenment", and our Founding Fathers erroneously assumed that reason was not just a passing fad. Whilst not wanting to support the "more of the same" Republican candidate, I was not impressed by the "real change... fersure, fersure" Democratic candidate, nor by the rookie voters that turned up to endorse the illusion. I can't really sustain the illusion myself, and probably won't be doing the poll work any more. It seems that stupidity is the new ethos, and frankly, I don't think I'll be missed. BTW your crazy reforms were in The Constitution as originally adopted, I guess you meant irony.

Relax, our Fearless Leaders always do the right thing.
My love of work has been very bad for my career.

I thought this was common practice. Sorry, I never worked H.R.

Thanks, I knew that, but got confused by the phonetics of the accepted pronunciation. All my Latin I learned in comic books, or something.
Currently, the Federal Government hasn't taken jurisdiction on shoplifting enforcement.

I saw this coming, AFTER I posted. She's baking mince. Mmmmm...

I just told my girlfriend it was National Pi Day, and she asked me what kind I wanted ;)
They get those cush jobs with all the benefits, then feel compelled to DO something, anything...
