It is just the Avatar. My work emails have a format. My name and title at the bottom. This is followed by my number, ext and the logo. I do not send emails like this to my friends and family. I don't send ones signed SirLanse to my boss. How hard is it to keep your avatars separate? The company wants to control the look of the avatars it is paying for. They control the paint on the company cars. This is separate from personal dress code.

Libya - they were much nicer when Bush was scaring the S#|% out of them. Do you think the Afgan training camps would have closed because Gore told them they were contributing to global warming with all the target practice? I love my planet, but I love the US more, but I love Florida more, but I love my family more. Slashdot posters sleep peacefully at night because rough men stand in harms way. I am grateful for such patriots protecting my soft fat butt.

I voted for the president that would protect me better. (Gore/Kerry were/are jokes) I got an Atty Gen that took short cuts. Absolutely Terrible. Hovever - What Exaclty is a phone company supposed to tell the FBI or CIA when they show up with a request from the AG/President? "No, you must get some local judge to ok that"? When that company wants to open a new office/expand/file tax returns will that "lack of cooperation" be held against them?

If they dont like the ruling of the Supreme court they still get pissy and look for some where else to sue.

So how is making me buy a tracking device in my car and the central tracking system going to save me money? Perhaps making every mile more expensive will get me to cut back some, but 10% is not going to be cut. Who is selling these tracking devices? Are they contributing to election campaigns? Are they going to be "FREE" ie I will pay for them in hight taxes? Will the logs of where your car has been be available for review and dispute. It could be fun to attach the tracker id of Ahnold to a city bus. If the logs are kept, can they be sold to advertisers? Will I get smut adverts because I cut through a bad section of town? Will the road taxes become flexible based on which route I take?

The original intent of the internet was PROJECTS LIKE THIS!
It was DARPAnet, so that design and builders in various senate districts could
work together. JSF is international in scope. It has parts coming from all the NATO countires.
A British designer and a French fabrication plant need the specs for a new lever.
That is why it is open.

If a doctor wants you to sign it, they suuuuuccckkk.
If you are looking at ratings, look at more than one.
If a doctor does Good, please mention it to the ratings.
The problem is the AMA has shielded BAD TERRIBLE Doctors from being found out.
They get lawsuits sealed and keep on issuing credentials to worst 2%.
The worst Doctors account for a huge percentage of the lawsuits.
The AMA protects them, we can't find out who they are.

Like the weather example: Today is warmer than yesterday.
It is warmer everywhere I have data,
so tomorrow will be warmer than today with no chance of it being colder.
They used the market to judge risk. Bundle enough houses together and you
don't have to evaluate any of them.
They stopped looking to see if this ONE house was a piece of crap,
whose value was going down. ALL houses must go up in value (the market says so)
Then ALL the smart guys started using the same equation.
They assumed that someone in the market would be playing it honest,
so they quit doing thier homework.
Another analogy:Kids in the class copy off of one another.
They show that (on average) kids who copy do better than those who do not.
Then ALL the kids stop studies and start to copy.
Guess what: they ALL fail.
That is what happed:they all stopped doing the homework.

These have been working of submarines and aircraft carriers for decades.
It is high time some of that military tech comes to civilian use.
If you are afraid of nuclear power, you are on the wrong website.
This is supposed to be for technologically informed people.
    Yes, start in remote areas. Islands etc where running power lines is a major expensse would be the best places to start. NY and LA prefer to export the pollution to the suburbs.

The point of SOX was to make corporate officers liable.
They can't say they don't know what the company is doing.
They still got bail out not bail or jail they should have gotten.
I guess if you blow the head of the banking committee you can get away with anything.

I remember when:
It was easy to decorate with all the CDs from AOL.

The Brick Layers and Carpenters have guilds, they have separate credentialing processes.
This is good. Knowing who you are hiring saves employers money.
I would pay to have a real card that verifies my skill set.

I won't pay for someone to negotiate a better wage for me.
They get some of my money, for getting me money?!?!?
The worst part is how the unions spend that money.
They are all about funding those who legislate for them.
Those legislators pass the laws the unions that fund them want.
And I can't buy a senate seat from IL gov?

The lawyers have sued firms into making work environments safe.
No union needed.

That is because the power plants have cleaned up most of that up.
CO2 is much harder to stop producing, so IT is the boogie man now.
I live in Florida, a warm place, and my yard is covered in acorns.
This sounds more like the "windshield scratch epidemic". Some people say they see fewer acorns and all the drones think they are seeing the same thing.

It was hiding in the tool bag and opened the grease gun.
It is now in its own orbit.
