Unions aren't exclusive to employer-employee relationships; you also have consumer unions, such as the Bus Riders Union in LA. In this case, the collective solidarity of the union protects the members (bus riders) from arbitrary and detrimental action by the transit commission.
But the crux of your point still stands: who would this union protect bloggers from?
If a corporation acted like a democracy, where the workers are the citizens who elect the leaders, then you (hopefully) won't have greedy employers trying to exploit the workers, and you won't have greedy unions who sacrifice the sustainability of the company for their own benefit.
In that kind of situation, if anyone's screwing anybody, the worker-employers are only screwing themselves.
They should delay launch of this system until they get it right. I think they should put off launching this next-gen rocket for at least a month or two.
To protect ourselves from these lip-reading robots, our language must evolve to a into a fusion of "hillbilly, Valley Girl, inner-city slang, and various grunts."
When a retailer is able to charge/coerce the people it buys its merchandise from, that retailer is a monopsony. (I'm by far not the first to label Wal-Mart as such)
Indeed. With Parallels, your Windows environment is visually integrated into the Mac environment, but in the background it is segregated so if it crashes, it doesn't take down your mac.
I particularly like Parallels' Coeherence option, which has OSX treat individual Windows windows as separate applications in the Mac environment, so they behave just like Mac instances when you press F11, for example. Being able to copy and paste between OSX and XP, and to have one use files stored on the other's filesystem are further examples.
However, I'd have to agree with GP's point about having this functionality preinstalled instead of having to install Parallels and XP after purchase.
I wasn't aware of the two-finger click thing at the time, so the one-button mouse put a macbook out of the running when I recently bought a new notebook.
Instead I got a Dell Vostro, whose mouse buttons occasionally register single-clicks as double-clicks, which can be really annoying in the wrong situation.
but since then, only TWO people have been charged and the second was just a couple days ago. Don't you see how well it has been deterring rampant piracy?
This and the successful Bear Patrol show that the Conservative Government are able to produce real Made-In-Canada results. And this is a minority Government. Imagine how much more they'll be able to go to protect us if they had a majority Government!
There is no right answer, but I think the best answer is that individual institutions should consider whether a mastodon skull would be useful to their collection, regardless of its "origin" (heh).
If the museum is going to die, then purchase of this fossil from a "legitimate" (as you put it) institution will merely keep it on life support for a bit longer, but it will still die.
Further, if it's dying because of poor and/or declining attendance, then the proceeds from the sale are merely going to keep a museum open for nobody to visit.
Ideally, some institution would announce out loud that they're bidding a certain amount for it, and hopefully keep others from getting into a bidding war.
But for all we know, some creationist philanthropist might buy it for oodles of money, and might even grind it up to make snake oil.
You can speculate all you want, but at the end of the day, reputable institutions should just ignore who is selling it, and look at what is being sold.
A logically consistent theory would be that "40,000 year old skull" is merely shorthand for "a skull placed in the Earth by God which He made to appear as being 40,000 years old" -- you know, to test our faith.
It's complete balderdash, but if people believe the Earth is 6,000 years old, it is not difficult to think that some people would believe this corollary, too.
UN observers are usually sent to third-world nations and "flawed democracy", not countries like the US or any other Western country for the matter. Bull-ivory-tower-shit.
I worked during the federal election in January 2006 here in Canada, and we had international observers come to our polling station.
The reason UN observers do not monitor US elections is because US officials refuse to invite them.
you'd still be liable for what you did BEFORE you moved it out. Only if it were illegal at the time that you did it, and it is not clearly illegal that it was (which is to say it's either clearly legal or ambiguous).
If they added laws after the operations were moved out of the country, then they would be more removed from liability (perhaps completely) than if they continued to operate within the country.
...dinosaurs, which lived to about 30. Growing up, I was very curious of this figure. Everywhere I saw dinosaurs talked about, it's how long ago they lived, or how long each period lasted. But almost always overlooked is the average lifespan of a dinosaur.
I find it difficult to believe that one can get accurate, complete, and passionate reporting by someone who does not get involved in the issues they report.
If you've ever been interviewed by a "professional journalist," who is ostensibly objective, you probably cringed when you read their article because of all the inaccuracies, errors, omissions, or misrepresentations the article contained because of the reporter's lack of familiarity with the topic. Or even if you read an article about something you know a lot about.
What about the ethical line crossed when information is presented as complete and unbiased by those who are explicitly expected to gain but a superficial knowledge of the story, report on it, then move on to the next item?
When people stay out of the US because of their increasingly-draconian laws, it will be "evidence" that people are staying out of the country because of fear of terrorism, and hence the government must increase the security by tightening the collar one more notch for the good of the economy.
