    You're right, I should've stuck with my real-world example of when unions work, and work well - which I notice you conveniently ignored.

  5. 1994 on Finland Dumps Handwriting In Favor of Typing · · Score: 1

    when i was in grade school, they taught cursive still but they were starting to also teach typing. we had apple ][ (on a computer bus... it traveled to each school in the district, was trippy) and we would spend 1 day a week for about an hour in there learning how to type. by the time i hit middle school we didnt even have to learn or use cursive anylonger. by high school I was bringing a laptop to school and doing all my work on the laptop instead of a notebook.

    as i said im not calling out apple here, im just explaining how things work. for the record I currently take care of retail stores cash registers, I hear about all sorts of tricks when it comes to getting people to buy stuff from these stores i take care of

  17. Re:AIDS is bad on Apple To Donate Profit Portion From Black Friday For AIDS Fight · · Score: 1

    let me clarify what I mean

    They are using the idea of donating to AIDS research with the money you used to buy X. Now some people who were not planning to buy X will see this and think "oh look, they are donating for AIDS on everything we buy today, we should buy something to help!"

    On the other hand people who were going to buy, but maybe not on friday see it and say "oh boy, if we buy this a few weeks early, we will be helping support AIDS research!"

    This is nothing more than using social engineering to get more buyers by tugging at the heartstrings. In no way is apple to be singled out by doing this is happens all the time, im just surprised more people dont understand this technique

    not even that, they are doing it as a tax writeoff. notice they get the credit for making the donation, not you (who is paying for it)

    what they do not take into account though is that some people genuinely enjoy driving. driving is not just a mode of transportation for some its a passion.

    I wonder if this is where all the anti, and all the pro AGW "studies" are done

    What I mean is has anyone actually sourced out all the sources on both sides of the isle? does one side use these shady journals to "prove" the other side wrong? Do both do it? or do the studies we get side come from mostly reputable sources
