  2. What counts as business? on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do the user names and passwords to Banking Sites count as Business Accounts? Mortgage Accounts, e-trade accounts? Crazy Bozeman, MO city HR people. HR should stick with paper hats and cake. It is the only thing they are good at.

  6. Re:EA is in california which means exempt is $95k on Electronic Arts Facing Possible Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Having a job is not a right. If it was, given the current unemployment rate a lot of american's rights are being violated.

    That being said, the company does have the responsability to ensure that they provide a safe working environment. It is not a personal right but the government regeulation on the company. Thats why we have OSHA and gasp unions.

    All in all, there are plenty of other employers looking for labor. Yes, you might have to take less money, but you non-monetary satisfaction should be higher. It is a simple cost benefit analyst of how much is your free-time really worth compared to how much you make for that time.

    "A report published in 2002 by the U.S. General Accounting Office found that most military applications of computer technology require less than 20,000 MTOPS, including programs used to design and simulate nuclear weapons. A currently exportable computer, such as a 32-processor Intel Itanium computer, satisfies nearly 98 percent of the Department of Defense's computing needs, the report said." --Then why in the hell is the DoD spending money systems with hundreds of processors.

    I haven't seen the orginals in a while and I was young when I saw them, but didn't the Orginal's with Bill Shatner lead up to the next generation? I have always considered the original movies as the "prequels" to the TNG movies.

    You will get paid what the market decides you are worth. I don't want the government telling anybody what the minimum amount they have to pay me becasue that is all you will get. If you do get enough money for your job. Quit. Find a new job that will pay you for you talents or find a job that will give you the maximum pleasure and less money.

    I hear complaining about big government all the time, yet inviting the government regulate cushy whitecollar jobs is like giving a fat man a pie. He just gets bigger.

    Is this new? If my southbridge dies now my board is dead. There are a lot of components that can break and your system is useless without replacing it. If the gig-E breaks put in a PCI Ethernet card. If the sound dies add a sound card. If a motherboard specific component dies replace the motherboard. How does this change if the componnets are separate.

    My current sound is built-in and it doesn't work I added a sound card and wow, a working computer.
