The $450 price tag would be my guess? Drop it to $300 and I would buy it.

Wrong, Web 2.0 was all about lime green.

Both Airbus and Boeing have their extensive history as industry leaders to shield them. People would assume a design flaw being the cause in a startup company will give Airbus and Boeing a pass and assume either pilot error or poor maintenance by the airline.

Of course the real punishment is having to listen to your pirated Britney Spears album.

I would venture to guess that the safety requirements for an airliner are much higher than an unmanned rocket. If a SpaceX rocket has an issue, there is money lost, but they will be able to analyze the problem and get it right the next time. If a startup builds a jet that goes down due to a design or mechanical flaw, the loss of life and subsequent lawsuits will put it out of business.

I would expect my employees to start looking for a new job if I had this attitude. A good boss will realize that if the staff is living in fear of being fired, the quality of the work they do is going to be impacted. I want my employees to enjoy coming to work and to not feel guilty if they are sick and either need to leave early or not come in at all.

If an employee tries to take advatage of this, I will deal with that specific situation, not create a blanket policy to hide behind.

As a manager, I agree. I don't want my employees here when they are sick. Not only are the getting the rest of the staff sick, the quality of their work is often impacted.

We have PTO with sick and vactation rolled together. I try to accommodate all requests for time off, regardless of the reason. The last thing I want is for my employees to feel they have to lie to get time off to take care of personal business or just because they just want a long weekend.

I upgraded to Win8 from Vista. I never upgraded to Win7 due to the pricing, but $40 was worth it to me for the better performance over Vista. Once I installed a program to give me back the start menu, I have had no problems with 8. The only time I have to see the metro interface is once when logging on.

It's not a Toyota, it's a Delorian!

But spreadsheets are cool! Aren't they? Hello, anyone?

When did you ever report a bug to a linux forum and not start a flame war?

How many lights do you see?

Best practices dictate that you not take the low hanging fruit and become much more results driven.

That explains why every planet on Stargate looked like Vancouver.

I mimeograph my poloroid. Now get off my lawn.
