    This will be handy for going to war with Moose.

  2. Re:When you don't want a reference on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    When my new employer wants me ASAP, I comply with his wishes. Remember, there was a reason I was looking for a job anyway. If the old employer gives out bad references after that, I just let them know I can have my lawyers explain the next step to them, that stops any childish behavior.
    This is the real world in the 21st century, Two weeks notice is so rare, I could only see high school kids giving it before returning to school.

    They shouldn't comply and appeal it further. There are just some things the government needs to stay out of and things it needs to regulate from within, like the lawyer who made this about some farcical monopoly nonsense or the judge who let it stand. There needs to be a regulatory commission for the bench and the bar that watches for silly loophole misinterpretations and rectifies the situation with baseball bats and garden shears when violated. Hey, tomato plants produce better fruit when beaten and pruned, why shouldn't we enjoy honest public servants who do the right thing for a change?

    I'd have settled for Key Comics ancient releases of Shakespeares tales.
    Not a new idea Bill. If you had the patent, you'd probably sue a comic book company for that. Shame on you, now go away and stay out of my news.

    I've been weighing the thought of an open source news service. It may not be the most technically abled, but, I think the accuracy increases and the agendas decrease.

    Doesn't matter. The NEW method for running taken over papers is; pile in more local stories, purchase the most lurid news service stories, make half or more of the print ads, ride till the profits disappear, then sell off the assets and bury it 6 ft. under.
    Silly rabbit, everyone gets their news off the internet now anyway.

    Just a hunch, but, maybe people should check to see if these "insurance" companies are allowed to operate in their state before getting happy with the checkbook.

    Third? There are several other parties, they don't need set up. They just need equal media coverage and a chance to debate through the whole election process.
    This won't happen, of course because the Repubmocrat regime will threaten to ignore any media who gives fair coverage outside the Repubmocrat party.

  15. Re:Is this really true? on NSA Provided £100m Funding For GCHQ Operations · · Score: 0

    They keep buying the two party system lie. The truth is; there is only one Repubmocrat party. Either wing will eventually enact the same bullshit ( with unimportant differences in opinion to keep up appearances, like gun rights, gay marriage, anything that distracts and polarizes the population) and whittle away at the proper, plain language of the Constitution. Even since the "New Deal" the Supreme Court has been loaded with supporting toadies to carry out the Repubmocrat Dictatorships goals.
            Could they vote for another party? Sure they could, but don't expect that they will know anything about another party, the Repubmocrat regime never lets them get enough media to popularize themselves. The Repubmocrats have the media in their pockets at election time. They refuse even to debate their agenda against other parties. Even if another party appears briefly, they are falsely discredited, misrepresented by the press and even scandalized. Nope Soviet U.S. has a one party system and if you vote outside it, voice another opinion, decry the dictatorship, you will be branded as a radical who will upset the economy and drive us to poverty because everybody knows that only the Republicans/Democrats have tabs on our economics/foreign affairs and anything outside that spells DOOM for our way of life.Well we don't want that now, do we? So they suck up the shit and vote for for Barak Ocastro once again.

  22. Re:Yes but... on Monogamy May Have Evolved To Prevent Infanticide · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's the drawback of the mod system, sometimes it reinforces a cultural/sexual/religious/political bias to someones personal agenda, rather than modding the content.

    Personally I think monogamy happened because, after the sex, now you have to see to the needs of two or more screaming ,weepy, hormonal women who want to eat, have new clothes, go to the river/fire/gathering NOW! Right damn NOW! Early man could even see the need to filter this down to one at a time in spite of sex.
    Then Cheating was born, which later spawned lawyers, so even a good fix still has an unavoidable drawback.
