Uh. Seriously. Do you realize how hard it is to just get up and move to another country? You can't just arrive on its doorstep and say "Here I am! Let me in so I can get a job!"
You'd be on the next plane out of the country.
Usually, you need to either have family there who will sponsor you, a job already, be a refugee, or be fabulously wealthy and/or famous. Just being an average joe cartoonist from the States with an arrest record definitely won't cut it. Except maybe in some place incredibly poor country that can't afford to even issue visas or do background checks.
...and forever punish those who would dare have anything to do with this company regardless of whatever contrition it has expressed for the crimes of it's ancestors, because we all know that reform, even by future generations, is impossible.
Interesting, because I too believe I have been stalked by a moderator (though I can't be sure who since I can't tell who is mod'ing me). I have also had posts incorrectly moderated for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
Mistakes can happen though, but you're probably right in this case.
It certainly is not. Your opinion, especially on such a public topic as the environment, is very relevant. It's certainly at least as relevant and Greenpeace's and Jobs'.
"During the winter months, it probably gets less than 10 hours of sunlight a day."
What part of Canada are you talking about? You do know that Southern Ontario, where a third of the Canada's population lives, is at the same latitude as Southern Oregon and Northern California right?
The "not enough sunlight" argument is a myth anyway.
"Kodak has their hands in a lot more pies than you seem to think."
I made no comment on what all Kodak is into (so your attempt to read into what I think is wrong), only what it is GETTING into. Obviously it is into many things given its annual sales, but it is equally obvious given its seriously lacklustre performance over the last seven years that it has a serious case of the doldrums and is in serious need of another market it in which it can succeed.
Kodak has been in the printer business for a long, long time. Though mostly at the enterprise level as far as I know. I remember seeing Kodak-branded laser printers in the 90s.
Why shouldn't they get into new business? Are they supposed to just close up shop because film is dead? And they are nowhere near a "last gasp." Kodak's a big company with many assets. Though they have slumped badly in the last seven years they still rake in $13.5B in sales.
Hurray for Kodak! It appears to be attempting to turn things around and be competitive again after years of lacklustre performance and seemingly rudderless operation. The acquisition of Creo put them in a good position in the prepress workflow biz, and now with this announcement maybe we'll have a reason to buy Kodak again at the consumer level. I look forward to trying one of their printers.
Not sure this has anything to do with outsourcing, but it appears to have everything to do with good old fashioned commercial competition. Good for India.
Or maybe it's because Australia only has 20 million people and the US has 300 million, so the numbers of people in the far-fewer airports are far less, giving the false impression that Australians are more "civilized".
I'm not sure I understand your point here. Are you saying it is better to buy from ITMS or on DVD? My argument against both is that the ITMS videos are inferior quality to DVD and you don't get DVD extras. DVDs on the other hand tend to clutter your apartment for a long time after you buy it.
My point is that I would rather rent from Netflix (even HD if I choose) than use either of the above, because I get the best of both worlds without worry.

By the way. You haven't got a clue where I live or how many citizenships I hold. So please apply your presumptions elsewhere.

"It was the
communists that got him fired."
So are you saying the US Government is communist?
Provided any country will let him in after this. Which is doubtful.
"Now if only Apple notebooks had two mouse buttons instead of hacks around it. :)"
You have a second mouse button on the touch pad as long as you have more than one finger on your hand.

"FUD" doesn't necessarily imply factual inaccuracy.

It was probably a mistake. Don't worry about it. It may be meta-moderated later anyway.

Verizon will probably buy Vonage then double the prices.
I agree totally. They are the best phone company ever. I'll never forgive Verizon for this.
I pay $16 a month for my Vonage service. Can those companies offer similar prices? Are they available in my area (West coast US)?
You're right. It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever buy any product from Verizon if they force my cheap phone provider out of business.
