  1. Re:It's a shame on Senate Bill To Prohibit Extra Charges For Internet · · Score: 1

    so, i hire someone who appears to be a smart, good person who then does something wrong or illegal and i get sued for it. protecting myself from that is morally bankrupt? please explain.

    A corporation is a legal construct with the rights of a person and none of the morality, a construct whose sole purpose is to make money.

    eh? my wife has a corporation and i have a corporation so we can safely run our home businesses. the idea behind it, the sole reason in my eyes, is that should i get sued for some reason i dont lose my car, house, watch, cat, dog, retirement savings, etc. and people will sue for anything. ever heard of the 'shotgun approach'? if it wasnt for people suing for the smallest things we might not need such a construct.

    the problem is morally bankrupt people. capitalism, socialism, communism all fail becuase of bad people.

    does kubuntu 64bit support broadcom wireless? how is it working in general? i gave ubuntu 64bit a whack and had a plethora of problems. the biggest of which being no wireless. with all of the stuff i am hearing about vista, i am seriously considering open source. but i dont want to hassle with an os and my wife needs it to be as seemless as possible.

    i have been playing tabletop rpg's for years. the (real life) politics/interests of my current group are all over the board - we get along - how boring is a world where everyone agrees. bu then i am not one for clubs... and i dont need to agree with everything my friends do to be good friends.

    most of the time our characters get along, other times they dont. it is a fantasy game. part of the fun, at least for me and my friends, is to explore what it could be like to be a pacifist or warmonger, someone with rigid utilitarian or relativist ethics, etc... for me & my friends it as much about exploring ideas as it is about getting the hackmaster +10.
