Comment Strike that, reverse it... (Score 1) 1

Because there's no loyalty from employer to employee, employees no longer see the benefit in staying at one company and sacrificing potential wage gains when they know they can be laid off at a moment's notice. Why not play the same game as employers who will lay off for a gain in profit at the drop of a hat?

Comment Got my guinea pigs. (Score 1) 705

Chile raises them for meat, and supposedly they have a flavor similar to chicken dark meat. The non-emotion inducing name for them is Cavys. 2 males and 3 females are enough to produce meat for a family of 4 supposedly. They eat grass too.

Comment Protectionism.... (Score 2) 1201

If you won't protect the wages of your skilled workers who you claim to need by not allowing foreigners into the country, then you must not protect the intellectual property of companies offering patent and copyright and tariffs to protect against dumping. Period. The USA is prohibited from treating one individual different than another by the 14th amendment. Precisely analogous to not allowing minorities equal civil rights is not allowing workers equal economic rights--sometimes they overlap.

Submission + - Dell manufacturing defect on the m5030 laptop is a ticking timebomb (dell.com)

darkharlequin writes: After carefully considering all of my options last April, I purchased a Dell computer from Best Buy to complete my taxes. It seemed like a good enough deal, and it was a Dell, which we use quite frequently at my job(Uncle Sam). Turns out, thought, the machine was a ticking time bomb, and that time bomb was set to go off about 1 year after the laptop was manufactured--which conveniently coincides with the end of the manufacturer's warranty. This gives me pause as to the manufacturing processes of Dell, which I have come to expect to be outstanding.

Comment The million dollar question (Score 1) 498

If someone could truly use some form of telepathy or telekinesis, why the hell would they expose it for 1 million dollars when they can use it to make billions in investment, trading, or gambling? I am glad that he puts that million dollar barrier up for frauds, but I'm not sure he's ever going to find someone with demonstratable abilities to risk being exposed for a mere million bucks. I know if I had the ability to read minds or see through walls or see into the future or bend spoons with my mind, I'd be playing blackjack or poker, investing in high risk securities or playing roulette respectively.
