Do you have any clue what a small percentage of wage earners make over $100k? 84% of HOUSEHOLDS make less than that. The national MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD is $44.6k.
I would say for most people it hurts the company more when someone quits than it hurts a person to be let go.
I would say you need a reality check. Most people get no severance.
And that's not even the point. You're operating under the false (and frankly delusional) assumption that my losing $1 is the same as the company losing $1. It's not. If I lose $20k, I'm utterly bankrupt, and probably homeless. If the company loses $20k, they post slower growth for the quarter.
Please, for the love of god, do not ever, ever become a legislator. At least when the current crop of legislators write meaninglessly vague laws they do it on purpose.
I used Prism to provide links for my kids to their favorite games as icons on the desktop. I loved the ability to hide the GUI features that would just distract them. I will miss this software. it was very useful.
Makes a shortcut that runs 'chrome --app="http://url"' (or chromium-browser, or whatever your chrome executable is)
That would be a meaningful argument if my leaving the company would damage it to a comparable degree that being fired would damage me. Employees where that is the case are almost always under contract anyway. For the rest of the employees your point is horseshit.
Calling a CSUN professor a mathematician is a bit of a stretch. He may have a PhD in mathematics, but he's really more of a babysitter than anything else. I say this as a former student of that mediocre institution of higher learning.
NOBODY deserves the award more this year than WikiLeaks. period. well, unless you think peace and order is more important than truth and freedom.
Sure there is. Off the top of my head, whoever wrote Stuxnet. Forestalling a very real and imminent war between Israel and Iran is an actual contribution to peace. Releasing a bunch of embarassing diplomatic cables, not so much.

They are in the top half of earners in a group that includes the 75% of people who do not have a college degree. Being in the top-half there is not remarkable.
No one claimed teachers were destitute (well, except maybe the teachers' unions, but fuck them). What was claimed was that teaching high school science is far less lucrative than other possible options with a science degree. Science teachers (high school; tenured college professors are another story) are NOT in the top half of earners among people with science degrees.
OO Calc has come a long way. Four years ago it was a pile of crap. Now it's sufficient for most users (anyone doing finances, or semi-complicated calculations). At this point, if you can't do it in Calc you should probably be using something like Matlab anyway. Excel is still better than Calc, but only in places where Matlab or Mathematica would be vastly superior to Excel.
You do know that alcohol boils off before water, right? That's how distillation works in the real world. You don't boil off water and have alcohol left over.
Implementation requires expending finite resources. Thus only a finite subset of 'everything' can be implemented, up to the point that available resources (developer time, CPU cycles, RAM) are exhausted.

Which would have nothing to do with the story or discussion since this about posts made to private accounts at any time, not work hours.
What gives you the right to dictate what town officials spend their private time on? Fuck you.

Apparently you don't what an intermediary is.
Where is this site where poople buy the book directly from the source, the authors, with no intermediaries?
Buying from Amazon IS buying through an intermediary, not from the author directly.

This is the internet. We can say ass here. Asshole even, if necessary.
If they cannot deliver it, then they shouldn't advertise it. It's not complicated.
Which would predate fireworks...

The plural of anecdote is not data.
Stop calling your mother that. It's really starting to creep the rest of us out.
No, it really isn't.

Because your parent never said taxes were immoral, he simply said they were not moral.
You ASSUMED he meant they were immoral; I read it as implying they were amoral.
Since you went for the most inflammatory reading of your parent, I assumed you were not aware of the less inflammatory possibility.
You realize that moral/immoral aren't the only possibilities, right? There's also amoral.
I find the Merck Manuals via google all the time when looking up drug interactions.
Your google-fu is just weak.
There is no exact law.
