    Real names (at least tied to facebook) would greatly increase their initial efforts...

    I can obviously speak only for myself (but can safely assume on behalf of others) that if anyone tries to tie anything about me to Facebook, I'm out. That goes for the internet as a whole for me. Require FB, I'm gone. I am not alone.

    I don't mind considering the idea of establishing a real-name type situation for some aspects of the internet (my bank knows who the hell I am), but Facebook should definitely become the "ID card" of the internet. People smarter than me can explain better why this is so, so wrong.

    Logging into sites with facebook credentials is all over the place already and as soon as I see it... bye!

  8. Re:required to cash out vacation time is a myth on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    I implore you to point to the federal law that makes this universal in the USA.

    There may be no single US CFR one could point to on the matter, but remember that some employee/employer relationships are governed by state laws, rules, and regulations. and also possibly under a collective bargaining agreement or other types of contractual stipulations (some which are covered by a multitude of federal laws).

    Here's a toilet read on California's thoughts on vacation pay... tl;dr - if you've followed your employer's vacation policy, they owe you.

    Under California law, unless otherwise stipulated by a collective bargaining agreement, whenever the employment relationship ends, for any reason whatsoever, and the employee has not used all of his or her earned and accrued vacation, the employer must pay the employee at his or her final rate of pay for all of his or her earned and accrued and unused vacation days. Labor Code Section 227.3. Because paid vacation benefits are considered wages, such pay must be included in the employee's final paycheck.

    There are remedies for employees whose employer fails to meet these obligations.

    According to the update this morning on CNN, there were no unexploded devices located.

    Authorities including bomb experts searched an apartment in Revere, Massachusetts, and removed items, after two deadly bombs struck the Boston Marathon. But officials cautioned that there are currently no clear suspects -- and the motive remains unknown. Officials also announced a twist in the probe: Suspicious packages that were detonated out of precaution were not explosive devices after all.
