  1. Play the "Happy Working Song" for four weeks. on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 1

    Do your work as best you can. Finish the time with them as happily as you started. You must have liked them or you wouldn't have spent that many years with them. Don't burn bridges! EVER!!

  2. Start Voting Stop Whining on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    These past few elections, and their outcomes, seem to raise the ire of those who lost. I am one of those new age Hip Hop (meaning I vote for the candidate not the party), Gun Totin' (take that literally), Government Health Insurance wanting, Democrats. I have lived in 2000 citizen "Big Towns" in the hills of Kentucky and in the Googolopolis that runs from D.C. up past NYC. My teacher in government class was one of my favorites and showed me that since I would turn 18 before the general election I could vote in a primary at 17. Anybody else vote at 17? She lit a politcal fire in me that burns to this day. Waiting to do anything is a fact of life. Until we can vote online there will be a wait (there probably will be a wait to vote then too and then there won't be a line at the analog voting stations). Desire for instant gratification, lack of work ethic, and refusal to believe that there may be slightly more people who disagree with your political views; even though you don't know anybody who holds contrary opinions, has ruined this country. Dang it I sound like my granddad. I live in a large state now and cannot understand what the issue is with waiting in line to vote. Polling stations are open 7 am to 7 pm (you still get to vote if you're in line before 7 pm, people were voting past midnight in some Ohio small towns). You may miss that night's episode of American Idolatry Survivor, but hey thats the cost of Freedom, the alternative is Free Dumb and we have that in abundance in America. If you are reading slashdot I guarantee you know how long and cold a wait people have outside Best Buy or Circuit City for their after Thanksgiving sale. Is a $20 DVD player more important than participating in deciding who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave or sits on the schoolboard in your town? I voted for Clinton twice (and would again for Bill). He's a good ol' southern boy. Wouldn't vote for Hill Clinton. I would vote for McCain because he talks like he has some sense. I couldn't vote for John Kerry after I heard him pandering and begging for the societaly challenged "I'm your only hope." Remember ancient history in Greece and see if their society didn't go down the tubes because more voters started picking the guy who promised them more stuff as their "only hope." Noone's hope lies in the government that's what sent New Orleans down the pooper into the gulf coast.

  3. ePaper Chase Relativity on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 1

    Good for her! I thought from first reading it would depend on what class the professor taught. The professor teaches a class of first year law students. She seems to be wanting to create free-thinking lawyers (oxymoronic pun aside), more interested in meaning of the law, and why decisions are made. By understanding why the current decisions have been reached, upcoming lawyers are taught to reason ways to sway the court why they should change or alter the current viewpoint. Do we need more soulless lawyers, or practioners of the law who understand how to think? You go oldschool girl!
