Comment Working late, yes. "Staying" late? No. (Score 1) 426

My coworkers and myself often work late, but we do not "stay" late. We have laptops and a VPN connection. So if we're working into the night, it's' generally in the comfort of our own home. That said, when the team is working late, we sure as hell do expect to see our manager online (at least giving the appearance that he is "in the shit" with us).

Comment The cost of legalization (Score 2, Interesting) 640

I don't use drugs because they are illegal. My employer could terminate my employment, I could be jailed, etc. If drugs were legalized, then there would be no barrier (however artificial) for me to start using drugs. Maybe I enjoy it and starts affecting my productivity, my way of life, I become addicted, etc. So while this might be in the minority, there are a number of citizens who are not using drugs for the sole reason that they are NOT legal. Legalizing them would remove this barrier and actually cause more drug use. I am not saying that is horrible, but it is a side-effect that is seldom brought up.

Cameron's Avatar Trailer Posted 278

graviplana was one of several people to submit that Avatar, James Cameron's 3D Sci-Fi epic has released a trailer to whet your appetite. There's a lot of very cool visual elements in there but no indication of any actual story. Here's hoping there is one.

What might be a good idea (for all extensions in general), when it opens up the NoScript page after an update, it there was a direct checkbox/link to "Don't show this page after updates" which would set the appropriate extension preference. Then the conspiracists would see a more visible mechanism to not show the NoScript page.
I personally, like an extension that is updated frequently. It means there is active development.
Thanks
