"These treaties will become effective at a time when technological innovations present us with great opportunities for the global distribution of copyrighted works," Clinton said upon signing the DMCA into law. "These same technologies, however, make it possible to pirate copyrighted works on a global scale with a single keystroke. The WIPO treaties set clear and firm standards - obligating signatory countries to provide 'adequate legal protection' and 'effective legal remedies' against circumvention of certain technologies that copyright owners use to protect their works, and against violation of the integrity of copyright management information. This Act implements those standards, carefully balancing the interests of both copyright owners and users." http://www.llrx.com/features/dcma.htm
CLINTON!!! You evil bastard. Trying to prevent massive pirating of copyrighted media. How dare you!
"You'd think the self-professed "smart people"* who vote for "smart candidates"** would realize this. But they don't, because they're nothing more than sheep being led to slaughter." Its better than being a "Red Neck", who votes repulican because they hate fags.
"* who are actually just stupid liberals who have less intelligence than a mildly retarded squirrel" So they're smarter than the president? (Read it a few more times, you'll get the joke eventualy.)
"Al Gore (flunked out)" Last time I checked, changing majors didn't equal flunking out.
Yeah. Again, like i said. Its easier for you to think of poor people as being lazy. Then thinking they do work hard and try to provide the best life for themselves and there family.
"Yup, I know. I've had a few of them. Didn't stop me from working them, to earn enough to eat. But I also didn't let those jobs define who I was, which allowed me to escape."
I don't think you understand the point. If you work in a town, with meat packing plant, and everyone in the town, either works at the plant, or provides goods and services to people working at the plant. Now, the plant starts hiring illegal aliens to compete with other meat packing plants that hire illegals. Wages go down, benifits are cut. You no longer have excess money to save for your own education or even your kids. I guess any one in that sitution is just lazy, right?
Also, wasn't it your degree that allowed you to escape? It wasn't some mystical force of will on your part. It sounds like you worked hard to get thru college. BUT. When you did work those jobs, you odivously made excess money, or else you wouldn't have money to pay your tuition. You didn't have to support any one else either. I don't believe you were completely on your own. Everyone I know that worked there 'own' way thru college had there folks pay at least some of thier tuition.
Its interesting that you would use poor in quotation marks. It makes me think you've never actually been poor. If you had a job which paid more than minimum wage, you weren't poor. Did you have to eat ramen while you 'worked' your way thru college. Poor baby. There are Americans that have to decide if they are going to eat or go to the hospital when they are sick. Yes they have access to health care, which poor in many countries dont, but when you don't make enough money to use it AND provide for there families basic needs. That is the problem. Its alot easier to think of poor people as being lazy, as opposed to thinking of them as hard working. If you every thought of someone, who had less then you working as hard or harder then you, you may actually feel guilt.
Your pretty naive if you think there are an unlimited amount of IT jobs, for people that want them. Or, an unlimited amount of any type of job. There are people who are trained IT professionals that can't get jobs, because they are being sent to Indian, or other countries. How are people who aren't trained going to get those jobs.
There are allot of jobs, Americans don't want, because those jobs no longer pay a decent wage or have any benefits. It is because of illegal immigration. There were Americans willing to do those jobs, until they had to compete with some one willing to take half or less pay.
Dude are you dense? NetworkBoy already mentioned undelete utilities. Why don't you look that up and come back. I could download one right off the internet and find everywere you've been. If I worked for the government I could just ask the search engines for your search results. You either don't know what you're talking about, or you're purpousfully misleading poeple. One or both, could be the case, based on your assumed political party.
BTW, you're an a-- for butchering that franklin qoute. This is what he actualy said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
The idea that your not even worth a face to face firing, would be devasating to most people. I don't see how it could be worse.
Who ever did the e-firing, didn't do there job. Or at least avoided the hard part of it. If you're going to fire some one. If you're going to tell them they aren't needed anymore. It would have been decent to tell them in person.
Anyone who thinks this is no big deal, was either never fired or didn't like the job they were fired from. You also can't assume the ones being fired don't care, or don't like there job. Everyone deserves to be fired by a person, no matter how much prior notice they were giving. You don't KNOW you are fired, until you are fired.
Those endorsing this problaly want to use it in the future, because they don't have the cojones to fire someone in person.

What about fire supression? Fire=Danger!! Burning servers=Toxic gas
How does one. Drop a language.
What about taking a 8 hour break every 16 hours? Does that count?
True, but clear history isn't able go back in time, and change your browser settings, yet...

Yes you can. Just remove the cryptochromes and see if they can find their way. I'm sure we could just sew them back on afterward.
This list, SHOULD be found as unconstitutional. If that doesn't end up being the case. It will be a sign, of how damaged our court system is.
