    But it your life and when backed in a corner with no reasonable choices,there isnt a lifeform on this planet that wont take the destructive path out.
    While the company has all the toys and a mission too high to recognise employees as more than replaceable units, it has grown too large for sustainablility and will need ever increasing amounts of bullshit like this in order to even open its eyes in the morning. Like the drunk on a perpetual binge, soon its liver will turn on it and a quick installation of an oil filter just wont do the job, it dies. So a company with the hubris to believe it has so much power and control over its employees will soon see the shortsightedness, but too late. This scurry for security in the midst of political upheaval and poor economy is going to provide a surprise for the big boys suffering from cranial-rectumitis. No one loves them that much. This is an age where the individual is pressed into scrambling for survival and relys on his own talents and will market them at a lower price in exchange for comfort and security, if they dont just outright start their own small business. Party is over, enjoy your toys....

    No, it none of their business. If they run a business where the employees feel trapped into servitude by pre-employment agreements, local talent monopoly, overwhelming bills and bad economy, seniority w/no upward mobility, etc., the company has clearly overstepped the bounds of human decency with no regard for their most important asset. This is WHY we get corporate espionage, if you back someone in a corner without a reasonable choice, they will do whatever they need to in order to survive and prosper. When a business is so large it has to resort to treating its employees like faceless units, it has grown cancerously without dividing into diversified units and begins its own downward spiral in the name of greed of the board and investors. Morons! (like AT&T, Apple, Chrysler, Shell,etc.) The old business models of dinosaur mega companies are showing their age in waste and loss due to sheer size. The day of the dinosaur is over, many smaller businesses will have a surviving advantage in times to come, their survivability will come from a close knit smaller team and will suck the talent from the big boys.
    This software in question is a fine example of the suicide happening right now.
    This is a new age of business, just like the new age of politics coming after the fall of trust for the current regeime.

    For giggles you should google Aluminum alloy percentages.
    6061 probably melts best and is usually the type you will find if it has been welded anywhere on the piece. Kind of soft, lotta zinc.
    7050 and 7075 are the most popular around machine shops,hard stuff, the only dif is 7075 has a bit of zirconium the 7050 doesn't.
    Machine shop turnings would melt nice, again the caveat is; there may be other metals present in sweepings.
    Recycle Al from scrap, ungraded, lowering the price, will be what winds up being foil. Mixed Nuts.
    Makes me wonder how much beryllium winds up in it...

    Yeah but together they've driven us to the brink of shit over the last century. Who did what is kinda irrelevant, because what one doesn't the other will given a far too short amount of time . So therefore their assumptions about foreign policy, economy, Nat'l debt mean shit as well. Everyone who isn't focusing on their shoelaces and can see past the horseshit fed us,is waiting for the levy to break.So what can I say kind about either? Not a fucking thing. Maybe I hope they get leprous syphilitic sores on their internal hemorrhoids. But, I'm a humanitarian.

    I see your point, but I gotta agree with others, given the success of the Healthcare website or the pockmark of the petition website, I don't hold out much hope for a government organized anything. The man has been in office 5+ years, if he is successful in this, it will only be the second thing he has EVER done that makes a desireable difference for the people. Getting off the ridiculous Marijuana mantra would be the first. At least we can start keeping dangerous offenders IN prison instead of putting them on probation to make bed-space for potheads. This has taken HOW MANY YEARS, since it was made illegal to satisfy the paper and cotton industries of the early 20th century?

    It's not just right wing trolls. Moms, Dads, the Postman, the old lady down the block, everyone hates the Democrats. Don't feel bad though, they hate the Republicans and don't trust the Libertarians and righteously so. These are all people who claim to want to serve the country, but wind up serving themselves from the sweat of our labor, kind of like we are livestock. Meanwhile, a media, hungry for exclusives (or just not wanting to be left out for competition reasons) will relate any bullshit the politicos want to fool us back into being peaceful livestock.

    One of my favorite stories is one of a group of self righeous activists outside a Boulder theater to pitch paint on "animal murderers" wearing their skins.
    The Darwin award goes to the one who thought the biker and his woman needed red paint on their leathers. It didn't matter that it was a woman, broken jaw, collapsed lung, broken ribs and blind in one eye. The bikers were never caught. More animals die everyday. Perhaps an activist is now a thinktivist.

    If G-glass makes it and most wear it, everyone will get with the program whether they like it or not.
    If G-glass sells only a few( as I suspect) it's wearers will face peer pressure to behave according to pack rule.
    But, there are always those who let a righteous surge of power go to their head, believing the majority will vindicate their actions.
    I am here to present the caveat associated with this flawed premise.
    I personally have no use for G-glass and probably will never bother to own anything like it.
    But, keep in mind, if you should prey from the safety of the pack, that it is an illusion and there is a chance you will be made a messy example.
