Damned skippy. About the least harmful thing a Senator can do on the Senate floor is to look at porn. Given their innate gift of being able to fuck up anything up to and including a wet dream, I'd even rather they be having a full on circle jerk than doing what they've been doing. It wouldn't be near as big of a national embarrassment as the shit they've been passing as law.
That's pretty much a given. Almost nothing ever actually comes to the floor for debate until at least sixty senators have already made up their minds about their vote. Anything actually happening on the Senate floor is purely grandstanding for the public, aside from the actual voting.
You might want to seriously look at the voting records of liberals too before you go pointing fingers. Party has little to nothing to do with it. It's pretty much all about money.
Your logic is sound and your points valid but kibi/mebi/gibi sound incredibly fucking retarded and do nothing for those of us who already understand the peculiarities, so I won't be changing.
Fair/unfair has nothing to do with it. Nothing in life is fair except by accident or the charity of others.
As to Mergers, Acquisitions, and bits of your contract you don't like from the employee perspective... Negotiate a better contract, work in another field, or start your own company. If you can't negotiate a better contract, your skills obviously aren't worth more than they're offering, or possibly your negotiation skills blow. Not having much choice is horseshit, you always have a choice unless you're a slave. Not liking a choice is not remotely the same as not having one.
The same things from a consumer perspective gets you a different answer though. Consumers vote for congressmen and congressmen write interstate commerce laws. In an ideal world where congressmen weren't crooked fuckwads, that would keep mergers below a level where they start adversely affecting competition and thereby harming the consumer. Unfortunately it doesn't seem we'll ever have a Corrupt Congressman hunting season and dumbshit voters keep electing them anyway.
I hope you realize that I am not disagreeing with you. I am just pointing some details I feel you left out.
Yep, cheers.
The bosses respect and value people who refuse to be treated as serfs.
Goes beyond bosses. Nobody respects weakness.
When you treat your employees the way you describe, then they will treat your company the way I did.
I just gave the baseline. Violate it at your own peril, from either side of the equation, as your boss should have known. What you can negotiate beyond that is between the two of you.
Yup, security doesn't directly generate revenue, so it's often left way, way down the priorities list for management. That's assuming they even know enough about cybersecurity to know if they're hiring the right person should they decide it's a good idea.
Did you seriously just go so far socialist that you came back to capitalist from the other side? Who the hell mods something this retarded Insightful?
Let me splain. No, is too much. Let me sum up. Businesses exist to make money. Period. Employees are paid to help the business do that. Businesses owe their employees nothing aside from the pay they've earned. Employees owe the businesses nothing aside from the work they're paid for.
If your employer tells you to train Bob to not be such a noobass in security and you half-ass it for job security reasons... Well, I hope you like unemployment lines because you just either looked like you didn't know your job or deliberately didn't do your job. Neither is conducive to longterm employment.
Eh, I'm pretty sure physics came first. Little things like sticking to a planet because gravity is holding you and an atmosphere there were fairly important to the development of the abstract concept that is math. Good old physics. Works the same whether you understand and study it or not.
Amusing but full of shit. CS gas burns like fuck in your eyes, nose, lungs, and to a good bit lesser extent any other exposed skin. Not necessarily to a point where you're totally nonfunctional but plenty to make anything that requires sight problematic for a bit. Bad sinuses only take care of the nose and make it worse on the lungs.
You mean something along the lines of going back to the gold standard? Seems to me that the most volatile times in our history were under that, including a huge chunk of the 19th century and the great depression. We didn't really take off as an economic superpower until about the time that we got off of it, so you'll excuse me if I'm skeptical.
Have you by chance taken out a loan for your feed, lumber, or new equipment? If so you're seeing direct benefit of all the money rich people leave in banks. You're spending the money you say they've taken out of the economy. If you're not taking out loans and you use feed, you're damned good with your money and my hat's off to you.

If you do, GP, share. I still have to find all my good user porn manually by reading their emails and looking through their files.
It's possible to make animations comparable to what is seen in SWFs with the <canvas>, <audio>, and <video> elements in HTML5.
For which the standards writers deserve to be ass raped by rabid bears until they take it back.

Pretty good bit of flamebait there. Almost read like a genuine opinion.

It confuses ordinary people for no good reason.
Duh, that's half the fun of working in IT.
Because that would cause great confusion in the bra market?
You don't get to keep the laser cannons with LASIK, duh.

Easy question, easy answer. Give loyalty to your employees and you can realistically expect to be able to demand it in return. Don't and, well...
True, but Lebron's job is way better at attracting slutty hotties. Gotta have your priorities.

Depends on how irrationally terrified of germs you are.
It's not cruel and unusual if there are people out there who will pay for the experience.
Sure it is but everyone needs an unrelated hobby or two.
Which would be precisely why it isn't done that way.
So your beef is that they're better at acquiring capital than you. Gotcha.
