Shoot, I missed that when posting! Cost! Cost, Cost! Thanks for adding that.

Well, in that case, I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't really know to care! Of course I would want it to be done to me...but if it's obvious (kind of on par with holding a cell phone up like you're recording someone) then people will be bothered and you will see videos of the people lunge at the glass wearer and yell at them to take them off.

I'm just curious, is that the actual amount? $57 only? If that's the case they saved a but load of money! Then they only owe $2,964,000,000

Regardless of the push made, average people almost always, stick with what they know. Changing to Linux/Apple is a huge leap unless you provide something that is just as simple and easy for them to use/learn or is almost identical. It would require a huge time investment otherwise that most won't want to give.

This is a serious problem. How do I hide myself without worry now?

your only hope is that Adblock Plus will work when your health is involved

all I want now is my DISLIKE button to dislike the stories posted that are twaddle, "Raged HARD last night, so drunk still! LOOL"---------I've been looking for that since it facebook came out.

This must have rippled beyond the Tech industry. Larger companies now a days lean towards contracting employees, never making people full time and cycling them out to avoid paying real wages/benefits/etc. It's much cheaper for them and the business model is becoming very attractive to those who watch the bottom line.

There are also quite a few companies that insert clauses into your hiring agreement stating that things you invent while employeed by them (and are related in anyway to your employment) are theirs. Most people don't notice/read them.

That's just the initial report of 57 studies man. They aren't conclusive. That number could jump up 50% of what it is in the future. Is that REALLY worth it?

Makes you chuckle doesn't it. This is outrageous how much trash these mega companies have had passed for Laws in states. I hope they are all invalidated and have to suck it.

You know, I've been thinking that. This is probably more way to hide Obama care regulations on our jobs and give them to foreigners

Your wit is amazing in this. Bravo! :)

Do you have any idea how dangerous that would be to fire a nuclear bomb at an incoming asteroid? What does the Hydrogen bomb have to do with it?
