It's a lot more serious than that. Last night while I was working late I inappropriately touched myself. I can't comment further on a sexual harrassment investigation.
Don't worry they are just working out the kinks in the technology and they will be able to scan your memory with machines. Then they won't need to search your home or Facebook just rifle through your most personal thoughts. Of course you'll be able to opt out but that will play to the jury/judge about as well as pleading the 5th in the US.
I miss the old days when people who claimed the NSA were trying to read their thoughts with machines are crazy. What I need is a tin foil turban I can claim I can't take it off for religious purposes. It works for NSA brain scans and Illuminati mind control satellites.
Remember to resist the urge just to call them assholes and thieves if you want them to do something. Don't threaten you don't need police at your door and if you want to threaten with a lawyer you do it by sending a lawyer letter or you can get in shit.
You are trying to sell them on taking some action. They need to see a benefit to it and it needs to be an arrangement they will be ok with. Sometimes the only thing they get out of the deal is that this person stops calling and e-mailing my boss.
Be persistent and stay on your talking points. Repeat, rephrase and request clarification. The person should feel like they have no chance of getting anywhere with you until your minimum needs are satisfied.
Asking them questions that force some empathy is a good tactic (i.e. "Well if you were me and a company treated you this way what would you do?", "What are my options for getting this resolved?")
Physical snail mail works better than e-mail for this sort of thing. It displays a higher level of commitment.
The CRTC sucks ass and we'd be better off without them. How many years of friggin' Beachcombers reruns(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beachcombers)did we have to put up with because of these people?
I always thought the purpose of HR was to hire as many mentally disabled people as possible into a useless department so the company wouldn't get fined for discriminating against the mentally disabled.
I mean any admin can fill in new hire paperwork and since HR seldom has a clue about the job they are hiring for the manager usually has to deal with the resumes. Benefits get administered through a web site so they don't do that.
Good people get turned down for stupid reasons all the time by these wastes of skin.
You could try and push it down the page rank if an HR person reads more than two pages their lips get all tired.
You could demonstrate that a washed out student jumping off a bridge falls at the same speed as a credit rating when you don't pay your crushing student loans.
Maybe there are advanced aliens looking for intelligent life. If they found earth they'd keep right on looking. As a species we're violent, irrational, deluded, greedy and self interested. The occasional deviations from this norm in no way redeem us. If I had a choice not to be involved with this disgusting species then I wouldn't either.
Sony didn't take a big hit after it commited a criminal act. It was allowed to keep making money. Microsoft was allowed to keep making money after it pulled this kind crap with Netscape.
The message to these corporations must be that if you act in this way then sooner or later it will cost money not make money. We are now sending the message that by breaking the law and getting away with it most of the time you will make more money than those who play by the rules.
The one way we can keep these crooked companies straight is by taking money away. If shareholders aren't making money investing in sleazy companies then the free market will sort them out.
Socrates was getting his toga in a twist about writing as a new media causing forgetfulness. This is the same kind of crap.
"this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust external written characters.." -Phaedrus
Ok so let's say (as a for instance) global warming is completely made up crap.
People who pollute the crap out of the earth for private gain are still an enemy of humanity and deserve to have horrible horrible things happen to them.
They should at least be put in cages like any other dangerous animal.
Since pirates created the digital music market how much will the companies profiting from that market be paying to the pirate community?
Apple owes the pirate community compensation for all the iPods they've sold as well as all the iTunes sales. That's a pretty chunk of change.
If the government was doing its job then these companies would have their assets sized and their owners fined. After a second offence they should be jailed for a good long time.
For some reason politicians don't seem to want crooks to get what is coming to them. I guess for most of them it would be digging their own grave.

It may come as a shock to some people but children have been exposed to breasts for a long time with no adverse effects. Some kids even suck on them.
It's a lot more serious than that.

Is this true?
I don't think this is a real test.

Oftener? come on.
Can I get any corroborating sources?
Does it come with wafers?
Why buy? It's cheaper to rent.
"Imagine what shenanigans will happen, WHEN this kind of behaviour is not come down upon hard."
There, fixed it for ya.

That aught to motivate the hell out of them.
Technically until they fire it up isn't the particle both found and not found?
Is this the same court system that ruled that cigarettes and nutrasweet don't cause cancer?
I wonder if the same system would work on seakitten

Wasn't the world kind of molten before..lava n' stuff.
It would stand to reason that it will cool down.
I still support doing nasty things to major polluters because it's my planet too and I have every right to defend it.

Nothing to see here move along.
