So tell me, when does your unemployment insurence run out? Or is your "wife" the "bread winner"? Is that why you're a little -shall we say - high strung and on the edge? Your lady wears the parts in your house?
I'd much more likely believe the individual that CHOOSES TO REFER TO THEMSELVES RELATIVE TO URINE...
Coming from a nutter masquerading as "Michael Kristopeit" (a simple Web search reveals that you are not who you claim to be), it's pretty clear that you have mental issues that need to be address in a professional setting. My guess is that you're off your psych meds.
Your post history here at Slashdot indicates that you are mentally unhinged. There is a large probability that you beat your wife. Seek professional help before it's too late.
I was at an Open Source Symposium at Oregon State Uni, and RMS was a guest. Before his time to speak, he sat ni the first row PICKING FLEAS OUT OF HIS BEARD and popping them in his mouth. NO SHIT.
and has always been about making people feel secure.
I disagree. I think it's all part of the "power grab" that "LE" has been conducting full-tilt since "9/11". It can be seen at *every* level from local to federal. A great example is the manipulated hysteria that justifies even the smallest Police Departments in Podunk Oregon or wherever spending many 1000$ on bomb robots. We saw it last week in Denver where the cops blew up a 10 inch tall toy, because - you know - it could have been a bomb. Think of the children, and when did you stop beating your wife? You must *want* the terrorist to win.... Blaw, blaw, blaw...
Don't tell me the ebooks can only be opened with adobe pdf reader? If so I really don't think it will last, I hate adobes pdf reader, so slow and clunky.
Then why do you use it when there is a selection of alternative PDF readers?
So is it better for the humans who lose their jobs picking strawberries 8 hours a day...
Gain some perspective. It is *not* the task itself, but the *trend* to automate. As machines replace those who for whatever reason choose or find themselves in physical labor, those jobs will go away, and people who are *good but simple* will no longer have jobs. After them, *YOUR* "middle class" job will be eliminated, and you will become part of the Surfs. Think about it, and you will see that in the end of the "Automate Everything" trend, only the rich and super rich will have meaningful lives and the only alternative will be subservience.
Truly amazing technology! But... The idea that this sort of thing will free people to lead more leisure lives is nonsense. What technology like this does is eliminate jobs for humans, who will than have to find other jobs, and eventually, in the end, result in huge unemployment, and a more defined caste system of super rich and dirt poor.
If i disappear mysticiously, several hundred people will know really fast, and they will tell their friends and so on - a full blown media frenzy fast, if anything happens.
This is like saying "If someone runs me over in a cross-walk with their car, I'll sue them for a MILLION dollars..."
Let's play this game. Assume Wikipedia was using a more draconian licence that restricted monetary gain. Then it would become a much less valuable as source material. If I was working on a research grant, I couldn't touch wikipedia, not even to check their sources, out of fear of getting sued for copyright violations. Do we really want more of that?
If I was working on a research grant, I couldn't touch wikipedia *anyway*. It *might* be an OK source for grade / high-school and *some* undergrad papers / projects, but NOT for research grants.
Wikipedia is a great resource, but not for anything more than a very preliminary starting point for things above a certain level.
Here's the thing, though... WHO in their right mind would use an ATM is Russia anyway? Good grief, I'd be surprised if they were *NOT* compromised.
If I were to visit Russia, I think I would opt for in-bank transactions and cash-only, *OR* a special limited balance account set up SPECIFICALLY for that trip, to be shit-canned upon return home.

I now conclude that you are between 17 and 20, but closer to 17. Certainly you act it.
Yet another SLASHERTISMENT. I know, porn, geeks, porn, geeks... Seriously, why is this shit on Slashdot?
Jesus, dude, is your cock "12 inches of steel" as well? Seriously, you protest too much. A clear sign of being full of shit.
i work from home for 6 figure salary with no fixed schedule...
Your grammar and punctuation tell a different story. But hey, you're free to dream.
If any of y'all bothered to RTFA (madness, I know), you'd have found that they aren't talking about random one-off sick days.
Really? I RTFA, and it mentioned several people who took two and three days.
Exactly. Want my Swine Flu? You can have it, if that means not losing my vacation.
I take "mental health" days all the time. If my employer doesn't want me to use "Sick Days", don't give them to me.
I would like to see "Sick Days" combined with regular leave into one lump sum.

Say goodbye to Amazon! The writing is on the, er, eTablet...
I demand that you tell me why I give a shit what government tools in Aussy Land are doing whith their pants down in front of a computer.
Well sure, the *good but simple* people will lose out, but what about the *mediocre and retarded* people?
You know, if you're that much of an asshole, well, sucks to be you.
In the end, self-centered assholes like you die alone and lonely. So enjoy.

Yes, and they'll still be a paraplegic.

OK, but what if you actually LIVED in Russia and weren't just visiting?
The same conditions apply. Cash only. I would not use a service that was guaranteed to steal all my money. Why would I, *ESPECIALLY* if I was a local?

I don't think Amazon is doing this to boost their pagerank.
Sure, but they still "manipulate search engine results".
...and i'm fucking going.
Yes, fucking is how I practice "creationism," too.
The Scientologists can buy it, rehab it, and then their "Sea Org" nutters can have a real warship to tool around in...
