Spot on, and what makes it even better is the ramp up time for the 2 new and less skilled hires ensures that they will be mediocre in comparison to the established team. Therefor earning them low marks in the next review and booting them out the door taking their years salary and training overhead with them. Looking at it's logical conclusion there would be a high turnover rate in the team under this stack ranking system leaving that money to walk out the door with no return on investment and maybe a bad rep from the recently fired.

By gosh you're right, quick someone call the cops that weren't hired because not one paid taxes.
Then we can argue the case in front of a judge that wasn't hired cause no one paid taxes.
We can hold the trial in the field where a courthouse wasn't built because no one paid taxes (maybe the squirrels will find them guilty).
Then we can sentence them to a prison that wasn't built cause no one paid taxes.

(not directed at you fahrbot-bot just all the people that think no taxes are a good thing)

They could quote Total Recall line for line, played Red Faction religiously and listened to 30 Seconds to Mars a lot?

They tried it with Omaha, but that city's Chamber of Commerce is not one to be trifled with.

The bill being referred to by the parent was the CPU act (cute acronym). The status is here. Thankfully it seems kinda stalled but three more cosponsors signed on since it was first read on Oct 20, 2011.

That would be nice as patent trolls care little for political affiliation and will happily shake down a republican as well as a democrat. But alas the comment section for this story on Foxnews is mostly filled with complaints about Fark, not the lesson from the story itself. People seem content to hate each other for their political leanings, and won't realize some issues transcend politics and need cooperation to root out.

Oh yeah, it is. But I was just taking the title from the original article. They most likely used "mistake" because there have not been any cases filed yet and they don't want to get hit with a suit for libel. Kinda like how most news articles about criminal trials refer to the defendant as allegedly committing a crime up until they are convicted. The news story stinks to high heaven of fraud and negligence but until the story gets told in a courtroom the press kinda has to use neutral terms like mistake and such.

I had that problem too, best thing i've found is to just get a small fan. Loud enough to drown out most background noise like conversations and walking yet not loud enough to keep you awake.

The difference between America and England is, the Americans think 100 years is a long time and the English think 100 miles (160.93 Km) is a long distance.
Not sure who originally said it but it seemed relevent.
