My grilfriend is pregnant, yet we never had any sex, so it must be a mirracle, right? This even tough all doctors disagree with me, they are ALL wrong. Stoopid doctors.
Concerning the illness: this would be much of a less issue in Europe as people have certain rights when they are ill.
In Belgium you can fire them, but it wil cosy you a lot, while if you do nothing, it will cost you nothing. So often waiting for them to get better is the cheapest option.
In the mean time people will get money when they are ill. Some companies have insurance that sees to it that they get 100% during their illness. Others drop to a certain percentage after some months.
If people would get fired because they were ill, the unions would have a field day with that. Obviously there will be people who abuse the system. As soon as that is found out, not only will that mean imediate termination and pay back of the amount they stole. It also means they would not get any unemplyment benefit.
So all in all, a person who is ill, is better to get help and perhaps not work for a while. I know of people who have been on sick-leave for more than a year due to mental issues and then came back.
Why not? And what would be the number of when it becomes illegal? 500 people? 100 people? 10 people? 2? 1?
At some point wer are ALL responsible for somebodies lives. So this is a slippery slope to surveilance of everybody and in Europe that is something we do not want (That does not mean it isn't happening)
This means that people can not be filmed when they are doing their job. This is somebody working in a pub (no camera's pointing at the till), working in an office (No camera's pointed at your desk) or when you do something else as a job.
Privacy is the most imporatnd right. If you do not have that, you can drop all the other ones. Also: privacy in Eurpope does not stop when you leave your house. You should have a reasonable amount of privacy when you are outside of it. That is why in Germany there are still a LOT of issues with Google Maps images.
So no, the right to privacy should NOT be droped, just because one idiot killed himself and others. It doe s not add any extra security. It only adds extra fear. Ask east Germans how that worked out.
In Belgium I followed a cource on hunman resource law. What they said to me (as employer, not as employee) was that you can basically write everything in a contract, but that does not make it legal. Not only could it mean that a part of the contract can be trown out, but the whole contract can be trown out AND the law will be even more inclined to side with whatever the emplyer tells.
On the other hand, if the people do not complain within a year after termination, you are good.
Th ebest defence an emplyee has to the question of why he did not compain when he was working there would be "I was afraid to loose my job." Just having that feeling is enough.
Once case I know of is where a manager who signed that he would do extra hours for no extra pay documented all the extra hours and got them payed out, because that is what the law says. Say they had to pay several years of extra hours.
Now before you start suing your company, please go to a lawyer (or your union) IRL, because every situation is different.
In Belgium when you have a non-compete, you will get what is quoted in the contract. (Unless you start working for the competition) It also depends on the job and will have a limited reasonable duration.
I had one, but unfortunately they annulled it when they fired me.(1) Otherwise I would have been given a year extra payment while working at a company in the same job, but not in the same field.
I know somebody who started working for the competition and in the identical job, but they just named the job differently. He never asked the money and the company never followed up on it.
I know of somebody else who was forced to leave their new job, but got the money. The law will side with the worker most of the time and unless there is a clear abuse of what is reasonable, then nobody actualy follows up on it.
If you get fired, most of the time it will be annulled and if people leave, they just go to somebody who is not the competitor.
All that said, if you are anything like a blue collor worker or an office serf, no way they could stick that to you. I sign them gladly and hope they forget when they fire me when they need to cut back.
(1)They gave me 5.5 months pay instead of the legal required 3, so that was nice.
So what I need to do is to write it down and have it with me? What if I loose it? Or change my pants? And I have to change it every month at work, so I better just write it down on a post-it and put it on my screen.
And what about the fact that I need about 47 different ones, because it is not safe to use the same one twice,. And some can not be longer than 8 characters. And some need numbers. ANd some neet to be 10 caracters with at least two numbers.
Please come back with a solution not for one password, but for the multitude of logins, passwords and pincodes I need to remember.
For the money? BBC will not loose any money for the lack of advertisement. So what other reasons could there be? The most obvious one is that he is an asshole.
Next to that, he already had a reduction in hios wage, because he made too much, so they are saving money by firing them.
And remember that this is not the first time he has done something embaressing. Remeber what he did in Argentina? That did not go down well and would cause problems for other people working for the BBC.
So this was just the excuse they were waiting for.
And the 4 minute rule doesn't help to have a discussion either. That is why you see in the history 1000+ message discussion where we now get hardly to 500 on very hot toppics.
Basically it means we are here just to click on the ads and shut up for the rest.
Considering the Democrats who controlled both parties failed to do anything but renew it, the Republicans may be our best shot
This is as if you are saying to somebody who stands still: he does not move the right leg, so the best way to move forward is to hope he moves his left leg.
Most likely nothing will happen or he just turn round and round.
In a few years you can say the same and just revers the parties. Several years of politics has learned us that hoping for the other party to do the right thing does not work.
I often do. Especially in areas where I do not know the road and a previous sign had a higher speed and I missed the lower speed.
This combined with a rental car where the enginesound is different.
I DO have a GPS that indicates what the speed is and I do try to pay attention to everything, but sometimes I do miss a sign in areas unknown to me and either speed or drive way to slow.
It heavily depends on how familiar you are with the area. When I drive in a new country like e.g. Spain where every 300 meters there can be a new speed limit, i almost spend more time looking if I do not speed compared to paying attention on the road.
And speed goed from 90 to 40 to 70 to 30 to 80 to 60 to 90 to... (That is KMH)
Also in different countreis there might be different rues for speed in cities and the beginning and not always indicated by a speed limit sign (or the end of it)
In Belgium the speed can differ a LOT as well on the same road and not always clearly indicated.
So having something that does this actively if I so do desirewould be great.
If they pick you out only on color, that would be an issue. However we are talking about humans who do "profiling" and then you can evade it by (in this case) seening at ease with small talk.
I could imagine walking around with a bottle of wiskey could turn them off, because terrorists are muslims and they don't drink alcohol. Have a playboy ready and a shaved beard, because then you never could be a terrerest.
Step one of not getting caught somewhere where you don't belong is to look as if you belong. e.g. when I was visiting a friend in hospital outside visiting hours, I looked how medical staff walked and copied that (They walk a bit faster and look down so people won't ask questions). I could walk everywhere without any question asked.
When I visit companies, the first thing I take of is the visitors badge as nobody who works there has a visitors badge. Walk as if you belong.
I have walked up to a police line and they let me through, because they thought I belonged there. (I did NOT ask to apss, they just opend it as on a TV show)
Be polite and be sure of yourself and you can walk in almost anywhere. Very easy. Compare it to Social Engeneering in a live enviroment.
This is my solution. I do have not any other password on it, so all I will loose is a maximum of 25EUR if I have just recharged the phone + the phone itself.
We have the ability to do both. AND complain about what the NSA is doing AND complain what our governement is doing AND what Europe is doing AND... We are able to multitask. One does not exclude the other.

When you say you want to work together, it seems logical that people might get the idea that you would want to work together.
I would not call that 'misunderstanding' I would call that 'lying'.
And if you are an official spokesperson of the NASA, you should know how to say things.

You think people are that easily offended? I am triggered!!!
OK, this naming is getting stoopid. Share if you agree on @#/.! (Ampersant Octotorp slash dot exclamationmark, or is that not part of it?)

It would just mean that the second person dies sooner. Just as with computers, if you have physical access, there is not much you can do
I use tablets and no softener. I tried softener, but noticed that after wearing clothes for more than 30 seconds, I noticed no difference.
That is a saving of 100% on softener. More than any bottle can do.
So we are back mixing chruch and business again. I thought that was settled 2000 years ago.
And the 4 minute rule doesn't help to have a discussion either. That is why you see in the history 1000+ message discussion where we now get hardly to 500 on very hot toppics.

These laws where there to drive a plot in a story, not to be implemented in real life.
Please stop pretending as if they are real.
