I have never met a doctor that's unhappy with their workload...

How many doctors do you know?

I think we're all missing the point.

Why would a company like Wal Mart be willing to incur the litigation that this program would most certainly entail? Because monitoring and micromanaging every single second of low-level workers has reached a point where this is practical. We know the average Wal Mart employee is not sufficiently incented or trained to handle this amount of trust. Wal Mart knows it too. The fact that they are doing this anyway should serve as a chilling sign of the sort of hyper-managed capitalist dystopia into which we've stumbled.

D-day was a minor kerfluffle compared to any number of immense Eastern front battles which would have completely devastated the force the American military deployed at any stage of the war.

• Stalingrad - 2.6 million total soldiers involved on both sides - 1.8 million total casualties
• Kursk - 2.8 million - 600,000 total casualties
• Smolensk - 2 million - 520,000 total casualties

Compare that to D-Day, which involved 200k combatants and about 20,000 casualties on both sides.

The war in the East cannot be overestimated. Our direct contributions to the European theater don't even begin to compare.

I cannot stop laughing at this comment.

Making voting decisions based on hostility to effective, participative government is like decorating your home with gasoline to protest it catching fire.

I keep seeing this come up in the comments. It occurs to me to wonder... What criteria are you using to define efficiency? If it's words transacted per minute, then yes, a call is more efficient. If it's meaningful information transacted per minute, telephones suck ass.

Meaning these signals originated a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Just a quick tip - the opinion that diversity should be opposed is not diversity. It is the exact opposite of freedom.

I was stealth laid off by IBM (merger, contract release) along with a couple hundred of my friends in August. Your axe is bloodier than most, IBM.

Do you have any idea how little credibility those words have after Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib,extraordinary rendition, etc? Do you understand that the last Republican president, his vice president, and several in his cabinet are arguably guilty of crimes against humanity and war crimes? If you have absolutely no perspective on what those words mean, then don't take it personally if we ignore you while you scream them.
