McDonald's signs are how Man in four thousand years will discover that the whole world was once globally connected.
There will be debates as the signs are uncovered about whether they could have been formed naturally, but - in the end - it will demonstrate the global society we have today.
At the call center that I work, our attendance is based on a point system.
If you are 5 minutes late, you get 1 point. If you are 1 hour late (our need to go home early) you get 2 points. If you are out for the whole day, you get 3.
9 points in a year get you on a verbal. 15 points move you to a written. 18 and you are on a final. Anything after that is termination.
9 points may seem like a lot until you get the flue or pneumonia. And this job, nor any of call center job I have worked for, take doctor notes in lieu of points.
The only way not to get a point is to get on FMLA. This is stupid of the company because most docs will write it up for anything and then the employee suddenly has 90 days worth of unpaid sick time versus the 3-5 days out for having the flue.
People cover for each other not to "steal," but to keep their jobs.
Last month I left for work 30 minutes early. There was a wreck and I, along with 90% of the call center was late to work (since the wreck was on the exit for work.) We all got the point (some that did not leave early got 2.) We watched the salary managers come late in joking about how bad the traffic was while telling the hourly people that the point system is set up to allow us to be late when there is a traffic jam.
This has been at every call center job I have worked at. In San Antonio, if you are unskilled labor, call center is the job you get.
These were the ones from the top 10 (non-you-tube / video / blog) results from my google search of "democrats freddie mae"
But then, the search is probably specific to me since I "signed away my privacy" to Google and plan to continue to do so for every search and email I receive:)
I used to worry about my figerprints being taken. In Texas they require a fingerprint (forget which finger) to get a driver's license.
sidux. Just check the forums before upgrading and you will always have the newest packages available.
And I don't mean you have to search forums. They have a section for this. http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewforum-f-29.html
Also, they roll out their own bug fixes using the standard upgrade tools (apt-get) so as long as you check before doing the upgrade, you should be safe (because if it is broke, they probably fixed it.)
I use Debian unstable myself. But if I ever get hit by a bug, their forum is the first place I check.
You really aren't running the correct disto if this is what you want.
And you discounted the legitimate way around this by stating you do not want to use someone's PPA that is designed to give you the latest packages while your core system remains part of the standard release.
And the option to upgrade within 24 hours of an upstream change is unreasonable.
I agree. I really didn't care for Pitch Black (I didn't dislike I just didn't really find it entertaining or even interesting.)
I really enjoyed Chronicles of Riddick. I may have seen the director's, cut though, which I hear was a lot more coherent. I didn't see it at the theaters since it was billed as a sequel to Pitch Black.
I worked for a company that was successfully sued (or we settled - I can't find the link right now) for female discrimination because one year the hire rate for woman at the call center was 60% instead of the industry standard 75%.
According to webster, Democrat is the term of someone who belongs to the democratic party. Since his post was about "a" democrat president and "a" democrat congress, he is correct.
I would love to stay home (or have my wife stay home) and raise my kids but that is not possible. We "make do" on two incomes.
We are living in a world in which "right" is determined by what feels good and - as a result - each generation is more surrounded by depravity than the previous one.
And (before someone brings up Hitler,) I do not define depravity by atrocities. We have always and will always have bad people.
The problem is the scale of what is right and wrong has shifted so far in the wrong direction that wrong looks right and right looks wrong.
Once she reaches 18 (probably younger depending on how she develops,) she can watch whatever she wants to.
It is not a fair comparison to compare what we were allowed to do as children to what our children are allowed to do. Things are much more accessible due to the Internet. I may have sneaked a look at soft porn when I was a kid, but only when I was at my dad's house (who had cable) and none of that compares to what is out there today.
I do not agree with the idea that a parent should tell their kids what is right and then let them do whatever they want. That is unfair to the child who can not fully appreciate long term repercussions. I do agree that communication is key, but there needs to be a line drawn for who is the authority. That lesson is also important in life for when the child joins the workforce. (You can tell how your co-workers were raised based on their whining and expectations at work that they should be able to do whatever they want.)
That said, I do not think it is the government's place to decide what is and isn't appropriate for my child to think/watch. I do share the same values as our leaders.
It's bad enough that the schools are so politically involved now a days. Throughout the election, I had to hear about how Obama was the best choice because he was "nice" and McCain was "mean." When I would ask her what she thought of the candidate's views, she would state that her teachers did not go over that, just who was more polite.
I define myself as a conservative but do not think of myself as racist. (I hate to bring this up as a point since it is personal and irrelevant to me - except when being called a racist due to my ideals - but I am married to a black woman and the only one that makes a constant point of it is my liberal father. That said, I do not think all liberals are racists but some are just like there are some racist conservatives.)
I have issues with either side being lumped into the racist category as a whole.
My original comment was to point out that those anonymous racist posts reek of someone trying to set up conservatives as racist. It irks me because it undermines the legitimacy of being a conservative. I usually ignore those posts as transparent but PopeRatzo reply to Anonymous just bugged me.
That said, I have enjoyed the conversation with you as you have tried to debate facts. (I enjoyed it enough that I kept checking back to see if you responded.)
Conservatives have more than a cursory knowledge of our nations history. We also have a pretty good grasp at numbers.
I guess I should have realized in your terms, 1965 came before the 1960's.
Funny enough, George Bush extended the Voting Rights Act by another 25 years in 2006.
Ronald Regan was the one who made Martin Luther King Day a holiday.
What legislation are you referring to that shows the racism of the republican party?
Not that this is a conversation that can be discussed logically since you discount history after some arbitrary date and consider any southern democrat that is a racist to really be a republican.
I work at a medical device company and we frequently send hippa information through email. (I also see lot of people use their paper calenders on their desk for this information and well as postit notes)
It will be a cold day in hell before people start remembering to even lock their desktop when leaving for break / lunch. Hell, my old supervisor would call from lunch and ask people to run over to her unlocked laptop to check her outlook calender.
I'm sure that with a separate National Climate Service, more funds will be available to maintain and inspect these stations. The dramatic falloffs in station numbers can be probably be traced to budget cuts.
Actually, I think the argument is that the misinformation was used to get more funds. It's funny that you think that throwing more money at this will change things.

This type of Orwellian crap comes directly from the same people who run the same banks that ran our economy into the ground
The Democratic party?
Don't mind me. I am expecting troll even though the parent straight out lied about the big banks requiring fingerprints and got a +3.

Wow, I never thought I would read this argument on slashdot.
So you are saying the police should have questioned him despite not knowing a crime was occurring?
Where would you like the line drawn for this precedent?
And the employees should release their "copies" online.
Your post is a duplicate by a few hours

And the option to upgrade within 24 hours of an upstream change is unreasonable.
That only works until there is a libc update in testing. Then you have to replace your core libraries to get the newer package.
Better yet is to
apt-get build-dep foo -t testing
apt-get --build source foo -t testing
Just make sure to have stable pinned so you don't end up upgrading your packages to testing during the first step.

I am sure ubuntu has a similar package

Same here as well as bad sleeping and nightmares.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I would have been ok with it if they had kept the mechanical owl :)
Since the movie has now been referenced (I swear I did not set this up) how many are annoyed that they are remaking this movie?
It is not the same blasephemy as when they remade Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or The Day the Earth Stood Still, but it feels close.
