I agree they have, however they go looking for God in science whereas the typical athiest scientist or engineer just wants to know how it works. Don't even get me started on intelligent design.
Besides everyone knows the one true god is the flying spaghetti monster. Long may his noodly appendage flap upon us!
I would argue that your free time is your free time, fair enough if they are paying you 24x7. ie normal hours plus overtime otherwise I wouldn't be signing it. If they are going to claim your work outside of hours then at least get paid for it.
I don't agree its completely impossible, a complex fabber might be able to do a screen with the right designs. Inkjet printed circuit boards on paper plus recycled cpus and ram from old cellphones. Internet based storage. It doesn't sound impossible to me, just difficult.
I am an engineer and I also have been researching this and playing the markets using simulations for about six months.
I recommend you study the markets day to day and try to figure out WHY they are moving and which market you actually want to specialise in, usually you have to try each one to see whats a best fit for your personality and intuitive understanding.
Saying that, I am interested in Forex and the best site for that seems to be Oanda purely because they don't bet against you and their spreads are extremely low for the majors, you can get instant fills and instant exits and there is no human involved in each transaction as its completely computerised.
After you have figured out the rhythms of the market you choose...that takes about six months in itself... there are really only three pieces of advice you need to know to become consistently profitable.
1. Cut your losses - ALWAYS set a stop loss (this was one of my major downfalls for the first few months but all it takes is one big wipeout to understand why you need to do this, your instinct will be to hang on to losses in case they turn around- this is FATAL if not immediately then eventually.)
2. Let your winners run and set a trailing stop. (your instinct will be to cash in while you can and it takes discipline to resist the urge to take immediate profits)
3. Buy on the rumour sell before the news. (Example: The markets price things in early so by the time an event like the news of an interest rate rise comes along, its usually priced in already so that you might be thinking with three days before say the BOE might rise interest rates, people would be buying the GBP and selling the USD in anticipation of the rise. Wrong, they bought it on the first hint that interest rates might rise 10 days ago and as the event approaches they will begin to sell off the pound and buy the dollar. and the markets will get very range bound on the actual day of the announcement. anyway the point of this is get to know your market and how it reacts to news.)
That said these 3 things may sound simple but the dicipline required to actually do them all the time is something that takes time to develop.
Whoever said trading without money was not worthwhile is completely wrong. If you can't become profitable in a practice system, you will never make the transition to a live system because you don't have a profitable system in the first place. You also need to figure out your technique, whether you are going to follow trends or be a range trader for example. Whatever you do, make sure you understand the market you are interested in before committing cash otherwise you will get eaten alive, oh and be prepared for a LOT of frustration and anger in the first four months as the market can see to defy logical analysis.
A website you might want to visit is investopedia. Hope this helps.
No, the main problem with DRM (not that I'm an advocate of it in the first place) is how its been implemented. They have tried to tie the media to specific devices on which it plays. That is just plain imbecilic. sure its all they seem to have but if they were slightly smarter they would be pushing apple et al to increase biometric security features within the devices, for example you could use your finger print to start your ipod (useful security feature for the user and in theory deters thieves. Then then they could link the songs to the fingerprint data. That way if you choose to move the songs to a different device it only has to recognise the fingerprint and it would play rather than crapping out because this isn't the device you downloaded the songs from initially.

They should just allow you to text a vote in. One vote one phone. Only from registered phones. That would get rid of the queues.

For the gay community it doubles as both.
Depends if you are looking to trade stocks.

What we need is a server in orbit sharing the links on a stealthed satellite. That'll screw them. Try shutting down the bit torrent links then.
