How much of an asshole do you have to be to ask your employee for a password of a personal service they're using? If I didn't know better I'd say it's impossible to be so far high on that scale.

Everyone's different, of course. Me? I felt sharpest and most productive in my work when I started being able to take a morning off in the middle of the week. I usually work overtime and, after a few days, I start to feel unable to concentrate after the 6th hour of work. When I get something done, I take much more time than I usually would and with stupid little mistakes in it. Just taking a morning off, in the middle of the week, really makes a huge difference for me.

This is just anecdotal evidence but there's something to be said about this. In the end, everyone's different and every job is different. Companies don't have the luxury of knowing all the variables about the way your brain works so they have to find an average. Some people's sweet spots for optimal performance, will fall closer to that average, others wont. If you have the flexibility to find it yourself, great! If you don't, arguing with your boss that you should work less is usually out of question.

Hopefully, companies will become more flexible and work more with its employees brains and less against them.

They might as well just arrest everyone that opposes the bill as they obviously are in the child porn business themselves.

Did I say arrest? I meant, burnt at the cross! Made an example of!

... with the cat!

The thing that usually pushes these games over the ratings is nipples.

I'm ok with mutilations but nipples? No way, I hope they go back with this measure, no nipples should be hidden from all mankind, forever!

I don't know if they're sending emails at all, I didn't get one. This information was shown in a popup after you close a game, inside Steam's software. That's where I got to know about it.

I don't know how things work in other countries but all banks in Portugal allow you to link your account to a service called MBNet, which allows you to create a virtual CC number with the balance that you need to make a purchase and it expires in 2 days or after it's used.

Ever since I got to know about it, I don't use anything else and I don't know why someone would. You don't even need a CC, it's linked to your bank account.

So every time you need to make a purchase, you create a CC number on the fly, with the spending limit of the purchase you want to make and this CC information will be useless after you complete the purchase.

That's all hackers will ever get from me, a bunch of useless CC numbers.

Maybe they should decide on the form factor before deciding on the manufacturer. It's like saying, "Hey, our staff could use some Toyota Yaris! It would cut down the time they spend using the bus!"

Are there any good reasons to have a 7-day week anyway? I'm asking from pure ignorance because there may be, specially after everything in our lives that got adapted to that. But if we ignore everything we built on top of it, is there a good reason to choose that system over any other?

I'm asking because I always felt this is something that should be rethought. Is it really beneficial for human beings, to work 5 consecutive days and have 2 days off (in most cases). Is there any research on that?

I partially agree with this move, not because of budgets, but because I feel that working 5 consecutive days decreases your productivity as opposed to, let's say, working 3 days in a row and having 1 day off. A 4-day week system that wouldn't decrease productivity in the long run since you increase the working days and decrease the consecutive working days. Maybe a better system would be a 2/1 ratio on working vs weekend days. Who knows? All I'm saying is that this should be rethought and studies should be made.

I know I went on a tangent here, feel free to mod me down for being off-topic, this is just something I feel should be talked about but for other reasons than what these schools presented.
