Maybe. Hope you are right. But I would really like to see how Billy keeps his accounting records on quickbooks. Then again, if he is keeping them on quickbooks, he probably has no idea how much money he's making or losing.
The stories are from late 2003, and they werent trying to break in, they were layed off and grasping at anything. Hell, the lead story says it itself, less employment.A lot of workers went home to live with their parents, but a lot still have to stay. Law of supply and demand, triumph of hope over xp..And then there are those indepn contrc jobs for minimum wage, which after taxes is really like working for nothing.
Better yet, just dont buy Microsoft x-boxes or Sony Playstations. I dont. If these guys want to be so proprietary, let their stuff rot on the shelf. Boycotts have an amazing way of changing fat cat minds. But then the people at Sony and Microsoft are so clueless, that they probably would never get the messege anyhow.
Unfortunately very true.
Did the NY Times also know that many people in the Valley are working for free in the hopes of being hired permanently. And then there is all this independent contracter crap that is completely illegal. Strange if they didn't, since the stories are two years old.
But then do the NY Times and Microsoft care about anything that isn't short term profit.
Notice how the Times story seemed to imply it's all inevitable, not these companies fault at all?
Thanks. Very informative and makes sense as the real story.
There is a body of law about frivilous lawsuits and abuse of process. In front of any judge that knows what he is doing, this guy would be paying big time to the defedent. I've seen cases where it happened. Most courts have no tolorance for this kind of garbage.
yeah I think I ran into a borg yesturday on the street.
He was wearing a tinfoil hat, had a guitar, and murdered whatever music he played
He also needed a couple of bucks to catch the next space ship back to Pluto.
There is a true story about 2 famous astromers having this discussion;
Astr 1: Any good cosmotologist can make up any theory about the Universe that he wants to.
Astr 2: Who said he has to be good.
I read the first paragraph or so of Bezo's or bozo's patent. Basically, if it's undeliverable then they can try alterantive ways to deliver it. Whouldn't it be easier just to conatact the sender? I can see it now, Amazan asks me do I want this merchandise out of nowhere? Why sure, why not it's for free. How does a company who has a billion dollar+ retained deficit stay in business? I guess with ideas like this
I can see it all now. The missle is targeted at AlQuida. But something goes wrong. The pidgen is targeting Washington, the White House. "Stop you dumb bird " , they say. "Hell no", says Mr Pigin, " Not until I get my corn."
And a greater % of the population increase comes from the poorer areas of the world and society. Not to mention the possable dumming down of the wealthier parts of the world
Think about it, about 100 years ago, % wise, you probably had a peak of enlightened and educated people
Maybe these periods come in spirts, like the golden age of Ancient Greece.

Ok. First you are Japanese. Then you are Sanskritist, which has to do with India. Then your grandfather memorized Confucius, who was Chinese. You sound like a regular United Nations. Japan has a rich culture of their own. Why would anyone there memorize Confucius, when there have been so many wise men in Japan? I am incredulous.
Highly unlikely for 2008? More like impossable. The Fed's IT is your worst nightmare for screwups.Add to that the complete dummies working there, and you have a continuting disaster. Wonder if Osama is behind this idea?

Sure you could hire someone not adequately trained. All she needs a short skirt and the right "attributes" . Dont worry she probably now has a good job in Washington at the White House
Get real, will you. Money is always there, and like every tool, it can be either used for good or bad. No offense, but sounds like you dont know how to use searchengines. One of the first lessons my daddy taught me was "you dont get something for nothing". My aphrosem, if it's free, it's probably a con.
Not many competing sites for Slashdot?
How many people do you really think are out there that read stuff like Slashdot?
Seriously, the media business wouldn't have a problem if they didn't charge such extortionate prices. Why would i chase around for some pirate warez site, if I could buy the stuff at a reaonalbe price.
And if they are so worried about being paid for what they produce, why dont they pay more to all the artists that contribute to their films, not just the stars. Know a woman high up in Special Effects department. Makes good living, but hey it aint like she has more money then she knows what to do with.
Even better example. It's like trying to change a national language by government fiat. Kubla Khan tried it, and for some bizarre reason, even the barbarian Franks in 600AD tried it.
Both floped dismally.
The internet like languages has to evolve, not be created by dikit
And when you come down to it, the internet is just really another language.
yes I hartly agree. We should all speak the King's English.
Besides that I have taken the oath to drink 3 glasses of milk a day, obey my mommy and daddy, and be kind to dumb animals, especially the 2 legged ones that I have to deal with every day.
Checked out his sight and otakaruma is located in Indianaplus, IN. And he wonders why he cant sell the cool stuff?
Next time try LA They buy anything there.

Because they dont make much money your way.
