Actually it's not the cops that have to prove that we are guilty, it's the prosecutors. The Police only gather evidence and when they have enough, that warrants an arrest. From that point on, it's all up to the prosecutors.
But no, I disagree thannine, we are innocent until proven guilty with a fair trial which still exists in the U.S. Justice System. Even if the person is despicable and obviously guilty, they still deserve their right to a trial.
I'm willing to bet not all Goodwill's are the same. From what I was told, the ComputerWorks here in Austin was an experiment and they in fact get truck loads daily from other Goodwills, in fact, an 18 wheeler dropped off pallets of junk that was sorted, tested and then the scrap metal dealers came through to haul away. Now I'm willing to bet not all of it is recycled properly but most gets recycled. They get so many broken Pentium Pro cpu's that they have a jewelry dealer come through weekly and buys everything they have apparently to break them down, take the gold and reuse in jewelry.
Perhaps you should encourage your local Goodwill to recycle rather than just dump. If you're so concerned about their practices, then volunteer your services along with some of your best buddies.
Goodwill is your best option. I've volunteered before at the Goodwill Computerworks here in Austin where almost all or most computer parts are shipped within the U.S. from all of their locations nationwide. They have a large warehouse and sort through everything, will test most components and have 3rd party businesses buy the scrap parts to extract the metals from, etc. They make sure almost all of the parts donated are recycled in an environmentally friendly way.
In America. I mean, there are plenty of men who have the same size waist from their college years or younger. It's not their waist that has grown out of proportion, it's their belly.
oj simpson's case was skewered in this country by race. that is, more black people tended to think of oj as innocent, and more white people thought of him as guilty
I don't know what part of the country you live in but at the time of the trial, all the African Americans I knew thought he was guilty. I knew more white people who thought he was innocent than black. I'm white but it wasn't his race that gave away his guilt, it was his actions and the evidence I read about.
Here is how you deal with the situation, it's no longer your problem. Yeah, you put in 9 years at this job. You're a hard worker, want to accomplish what you had set out to do but can't refuse the new gig.
So write your documentation and take two hour lunches for 4 weeks, you're getting paid to practically do nothing.
I had this happen at a job when presented them with a two week notice. I had already written my documentation and had a project that would have only taken me like a week to complete. At first they said yeah, finish it. The next day, nope, don't do anything but write documentation. I was like, I already wrote my documentation for everything I did and was going to do for this project which was straight forward.
So what did I do, took long lunches, left early, got there late. I practically just did nothing for two weeks.
So enjoy the downtime, starting a new IT at new job sounds like you'll be busy.
You shouldn't always trust your doctor. Remember, it's your child, not their's. The last pediatrician we got rid of to find a new one that didn't agree seemed to be fueled by more patients (which caused long waits and rushed visits) and what the pharmaceutical companies are giving him for recommending more drugs and vaccines that weren't necessary.
It's proven that mercury levels are different for children and adults of what one could be exposed to.
With that in regards, there's already enough mercury exposure due to pollution in the environment. So I'll continue to give my child the vaccines to prevent a disease and also limit the amount of mercury over a set amount of time by spacing out such vaccines. I guess reading is hard to understand that I am still getting my child vaccines, just not 5 at a time.
Become a parent and you'll understand, cause you clearly aren't one.
I'm a parent. I've done my own researching on autism as it is a fear.
From what I've researched and concluded, I don't believe it is a particular vaccine causing autism, but instead it's multiple usually given at one time.
It's a fact that the human body can be exposed to so much mercury. Adults of course can handle higher levels compared to a pregnant woman with a fetus in the womb, newborns and children.
So one shot with a small trace of mercury I feel won't harm my newborn or toddler. But when you take your child to the doctor and they want to inject them with 5 shots at time, those levels of mercury are potentially harmful.
We fought with our first pediatrician cause he wanted to inject our child with 3 to 5 vaccines each time to get them out of the way instead of spreading them further out. We finally found a pediatrician that agrees with us and is willing to spread vaccines out.
And just to let you know and according to the EPA, it's not just a few kids with autism any longer. Back in 1978, 1 out of 10,000 on average would be diagnosed with some type of autism. Those numbers are now 1 out of 110 that are diagnosed with some type of autism.
So, be cautious if you have children. There are mandated vaccines but most don't require your child to get needled with 5 at a time, which I believe is harmful to children. Spread them out, you might just be preventing your child from being potentially harmed since there's really no hard facts of the cause of autism but it is certainly linked to mercury, but we do know mercury is harmful, so why are we injecting it into our blood stream is my question. I'd rather keep exposure to a small degree rather than a larger one.
Not only that but I actually go out and buy their CD after I download a few, half or all of their songs they give away from their own site. I buy the CD not only to support them but use as my primary backup in case I lose the digital version I downloaded.
Consider this, the Constitution protects the freedom of religion. It also states there will be a separation of church and state. With that in mind, religion should play no part in who runs this country. Religion is a persons personal belief and faith. It should not play any type of role of who can get the "actual" job done. Seems to me like he's being a politician who's actually qualified for the job. Those that claim we only need a Christian in office is being just as radical as those in the Mideast when choosing their own leaders.
Requirements to become President in the United States covered by Article II of the Constitution:
natural-born citizens
at least thirty-five years old
must have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years
I don't see religion on there, do you?
The main point though is, next time you apply for a job, you should notice that they can't deny you the job due to your religious beliefs, hell, they're not even allowed to ask. Being President is a job, they get paid and voted by the people to be a leader for a country, nothing more, nothing less. Whatever church they decide to go to is their business. If they start doing a crappy job in office, it's called, impeachment.
I'm still pulling for Edwards but will settle for Obama, I just think it's too soon for him at this time.
Exactly. Anyone who thinks even reality tv is totally real probably thinks WWF Wrestling is real as well.
My wife wanted to watch that new "Paranormal State" the other night. It's cheesy, not real and wasn't even scary. Just a bunch of bible thumpers trying to make people's lives better after they think they have ghosts or evil spirits in their home. The people they showed in this particular episode most likely still watched WWF Wrestling and probably think it's real.
developer that somehow allows some crackers into the system or network.. no pun intended. My present employer now, we had a developers machine get compromised, it was sweet walking over to his machine and unplugging his network cable while he was working, along with the phrase, "we'll let you know when you can plug it back in after we wipe your machine."
And nobody deserves to die after serving their time spent for committing a crime because some nutcase probably crazier than the rapist himself was a "potential" threat to a child he probably didn't even knew existed and judged because some minimum wage dumbass data entry twat working in some courthouse decided it would be fun to say he was a child molester on some online database. How the hell do you just add, "Child molestation" to someone's wrap sheet cause they went to jail for raping adult women? That's the person who should also be held accountable in my opinion.
Yeah sure the guy probably deserves to die for being a rapist but that's someone else's decision, not this guy who decided he was doing his son a favor in killing him. I'm sure there's more than one registered child molester in that guys area, why didn't he just kill them all in a 20 mile radius?
A perfect Law & Order episode... I hope the guy who thought killing some convicted felon that did his time gets raped in jail for being such a dumbass thinking he was protecting his son by killing others. There's certainly other ways to protecting your children and yes, computers make mistakes cause their controlled by stupid humans.:)
Long ago, in college, I worked at Best Buy in Indianapolis. I worked in the Audio/Car Audio departments. So anyways, one night I'm coming into work and get pulled aside by the LP guy (the goofy guys where the yellow shirts that think they're important). I thought he was just going to ask me to watch the front while he took a break but instead pulled me in one of the front offices. Told me he'd be right back after asking me to sit down.
A few minutes later, he comes in with one of the assistant managers with him, they both sit down and hand me a clipboard with paper and pen. They ask for me to write down everything I've stolen. I'm like, WTF? I haven't stolen anything is my only reply to every question. The LP guy kept getting in my face, yelling and moaning that I've stolen something. He gets pissed and threatens to call the police, I say, call them, I'd love to explain to them your false accusations without any proof even if I did steal something.
The LP guy leaves and the manager there has nothing to say. Granted, I was shocked cause it was the only manager I liked. The only thing I said at that moment was, "I've lost all respect for you at this time!"
So the LP guy comes back and then threatens with police and polygraph test, I'm all open for the idea, this just pissed him off more. We exchange more words, he keeps demanding I write down everything I've stolen so I just dropped the damn clipboard and pen. I proceed to tell them, if you have nothing on me as I have not stolen anything, I'm leaving. LP guy walks out again all pissed, comes back in a few minutes and tells me I'm suspended til further notice. He escorts me out.
By the time I get home, I get a call from a co-worker who's pissed off and tells me the same exact story. They pulled him in right after me, same type of interrogation. We later found out they did this to all but 2 employees in the Audio/Car Audio department. 6 out of the 8 that is.
If we go back in time a little, they were opening a new store and had others help out from the surrounding stores. Guess which 6 helped, the 6 let go. While we were helping the store, they said we would get paid retro type pay since the other store didn't have us in their system. So we determined this was just a way for them to just not pay us after we kept insisting on our paychecks from the overnight work and days off we spent at the other store.
Funny to think two weeks later we show up for our final check and they tell us we've been fired, our only response was, "Really, cause we already found other jobs, why would we want to work here after what happened?"
We all talked to a lawyer but the amount owed he said just wasn't worth it to sue.
Moral of the story, Best Buy = Shitty Place to Work
Yeah, I like ZaReason's description from their site, specifically this one:
"Preloaded with: OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox, gMail, Meebo, Skype, Wikipedia, GIMP, Blogger, YouTube, Xing Movie Player, Rhythmbox, Faqly, Facebook, all for ease of use on start-up."
WTF, you mean they preloaded gMail, Blogger, YouTube and Facebook.. I know most have the internet but listing these as preloaded seems a little out of place. Should say internet subscription required.
I'm missing out since I don't shop at Wal-Mart, but then again, real techies build their own machines instead of buying them at retailers like Wally World. Just remember, you too can afford a $200.00 computer when it only cost Wal-Mart $50 to make, that includes the $2.00 slave wages they pay the 10 year old Chinese kid in China working 16 hour days for 10 cents an hour. It's probably pumped full of lovely toxins as well..;)
