Oh, I have no doubt they considered ending it. Probably in a "how much power would we lose if" type scenario but consideration likely was there at some point.

I doubt that. She seems like less of a bitch than Hillary, is more media and business friendly in ways Hillary simply tries to put on a show about, and not too many people outside the tech world actually hate her.
Outside of her name sounding foreign, I would think she has just as much chance as any other woman running. I bet she would be picked as a vice president candidate too- if the primaries don't get too ugly.
I don't know why it should be easier to get a conviction, the laws were either broken and there is proof of it or there isn't. I would hate to be in a court system that decides you were warned 3 times by means outside the court so you are more likely guilty on the same evidence.
Now I can see where the modus operandi is used to determine Mes Rea but I'm not sure the type of copyright laws being addressed need that level of detail. Displaying the willingness to subvert a blocking mechanism would show intent to violate the copyright.
Hmm.. systemd in ruby on rails.. Interesting concept but I don't think to many people will like it. Instead, they should just try the windows really good version. there is an online demo here but it relies on flash.
I expect either a level of competency in looking the answers up or level of humility and just saying "I don't know" when they do not know. But I'm not sure where the difference is in lieing to your face to sell something and ignorantly lieing just to up sell something.
Here is another great example of an experience I had with Best Buy. I was looking for a specific US robotics hardware modem and their website said they had one in stock. This was for an old linux box that served as a fax server using hylafax and was a direct replacement for existing hardware (spec'd because of local availability). After three people suggesting I use a win modem and looking completely blank like a deer staring into headlights when I explained the difference between a hardware modem and winmodem and told them I needed raw serial communications, they got someone from the geeksquad to assist. After giving him a model number and explaining why I needed that specific model, he told me not only was there nothing like that which they carried, but that modems use the PCI bus and would be incapable of serial communication. He said I would need to order one from a vendor specific channel. I called a coworker and asked him if he could find another locally on line so I could pick on up. Turns out best buy was the only one he could find so my coworker ordered it online for in store pick up. I went to the counter right next to where we were and said I was there to pick up an order for XXXX. They said it was still being pulled but would be there in about 5 minutes. 5 minutes passed and I walked out the door with what I originally came in to get an hour ago only to be accosted by some idiot at the door wanting to match my receipt to the product in the bag.
I've got lots of stories about best buy. I prefer to purchase local when possible but have such a hatred for their idiocy that I will buy online if I don't need something right now and cannot find it at one of the other stores that dabble in electronics. How others put up with it is beyond me.
The best buy employees around my neck of the woods are complete and total idiots. Especially the Geek Squad rocket scientists or whatever they are supposed to be. It's a chore to even enter the store it seems. I've had both (the blue shirts and black shirts) try to tell me crap I knew from the start simply wasn't true. I think the funniest story was when I was purchasing some CDs for my burner and was trying to make sure I was getting the brand on sale. One of the employees saw me and tried to suggest I purchase the CDs labeled as Music because they were better qualify and would read faster. He said that was why they were more expensive than data cds (evidently making crap up is more productive than knowing about the media tax on Music labeled media).
Of course he doesn't. He has more than 20 menthol Kools.
Do they even allow cigarettes in prisons any more?
for lying to the boss when he asked me to repeat what I heard and I said it was about someone else.
One of those just might be the next president if Hillary ever gains any traction. It was originally brought up by one of her supporters in order to help her win the primaries..
You don't know that. Just because the company replaces someone that is paid X with someone else that is being paid X/2 does not mean that the person replacing them is doing the same work or quality of work as the previous employee. You really don't know.
It's pretty reasonable to assume they are in most jobs like line workers at a factory or whatever. There simply is not that much variance in requirements for the jobs and often the jobs or slip shifted with similar results being expected. But it doesn't matter because the claim, equal pay for equal work would definitely suggest two performances were at or near identical. Otherwise the HTML programmer for the website would be requesting the same pay as the Java coder who makes the product being sold.
Go look at a job listing and you'll see they tend to all say "DOE" under the wage/salary section.
That stands for "Depending on experience". Which means practically every job listing scales the pay based on the experience of the worker they are hiring.
That means companies obviously do appreciate experience. They pay more for it internally and they pay new hires that have more of it.
I am not sure what gave you the idea that I was ruling that out. If all things are equal except the seniority, seniority has to be the determining factor for differences in pay (unless the claim of sexism is true). Remember, the assumption being pushed is that all things are equal except time left on the job.
And if you took ten years off for some reason then you're going to have less experience then someone that didn't... male or female. This is not a gender issue. It is a work experience issue.
I agree it's not a gender issue, but it also is not limited to experience either. Companies are not generally in business long if they pay for experience when the level of experience is not needed to complete the tasks. What they will do it pay for seniority with which experience at that company is implicit.
If a man takes ten years off work to go find himself in Tibet then when he comes back he is not going to be making as much as the man or woman that didn't leave.
And if a man or woman works at Google for ten years and gets hired in at Cisco, even with the same levels of experience, the 10 year veteran of Cisco will likely still make more than the new hire. This is even more illustrated in factory type jobs
Either way, the pay gap is generally completely is explained without pulling discrimination strings.
I understand that. What I cannot find is where he actually questioned Obama's eligibility. As far as I know, Ted Cruze has never done so publicly and the closest I can tell- has supported efforts to have people prove their citizenship before being allowed to vote.
As for the key difference between Obama and Cruze or even McCain is that in 1961, there was a requirement that the citizen parent reside in the country for at least 10 years (five of which after they were 14 years old) prior to birth and for the child to reside in the US for 5 consecutive years starting after age 14 and before age 23. There was some question about those conditions being met due to timelines from books published by Obama or about Obama's family. In 1966, the law was amended to allow service associated with military or official government duties to qualify as in country for those time span purposes. Or at least that was the claim and it certainly was not helped by Obama playing games with releasing his birth certificate which made some question it's authenticity and/or validity.
I think it is clear now that he was born in Hawaii so it isn't an issue for anyone but the die hard crazies. Nothing will be done about it anyways at this point. Interestingly, the birther movement is associated with right wing nutjobs but it originated around Hillary trying to win the primary.
As expected, Jane provides absolutely no links to back up any of his accusations. And still no evidence that Jane grasps the irony of his lecturing scientists about what scientists think.
And Jane still hasn't admitted he was wrong when he repeated the same false Sky Dragon Slayer things in public over and over.
... Are you aware that the KKK has historically been tied to the Democratic Party of the U.S.? Look it up. [Lonny Eachus, 2014-12-16]
... KKK was a Democrat organization. Look it up. [Lonny Eachus, 2015-01-09]
... Left-wingers who don't know that the KKK has historically been closely tied to the Democrat party? (Even just Wikipedia will tell you that much.) [Jane Q. Public, 2015-01-22]
And we should never forget that the KKK was primarily a Democrat organization. Many people don't remember that. [Lonny Eachus, 2015-03-08]
... How easily people forget. Forget, for example, that Southern segregationists (and even the KKK) were overwhelmingly Democrat over the last century.

Pardon the FUCK out of me, but unjustifiably being compared to the KKK would piss A LOT of people off. [Lonny Eachus, 2013-05-31]
Is that why you repeatedly bring up the KKK? Because it's a good way to piss a lot of people off?
Truth: Lincoln also suspended Habeus Corpus. And he wanted to ban slavery SO HE COULD SHIP ALL THE NEGROES BACK TO AFRICA.
... Lincoln was not much of a "hero". He was a racist asshole. [Lonny Eachus, 2012-01-18]
... Abraham Lincoln was a hero of the black people for abolishing slavery, yes? [Lonny Eachus, 2012-04-26]
Abe Lincoln: the ultimate "white supremacist". He wanted to end slavery IN ORDER TO send them all back to Africa. #RealHistoryNotSchool [Lonny Eachus, 2013-12-17]
Abe Lincoln was the most openly racist President in history. Obama visiting Lincolns' memorial is a tribute to ignorance. Lincoln wanted to end slavery because HE WANTED TO SHIP ALL THE BLACKS BACK TO AFRICA. It's history. Read it. Get educated. And by the way, yes Lincoln actually TRIED to ship some former slaves away, but it ended in disaster. Look it the f* up. [Lonny Eachus, 2014-05-26]
... Lincoln was a racist among racists. Lincoln wanted to end slavery BECAUSE he wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa. He even tried to implement the plan. [Lonny Eachus, 2014-07-07]
Lincoln did not like negroes. His stated reason for wanting to free them was so that he could ship them back to Africa. He actually sent one ship full of them to the Caribbean as a trial run. Most of those on board died from smallpox. He was preparing a second expedition when the Civil War broke out.
... [Jane Q. Public, 2015-03-21]
Gosh, how could anyone admire a man who was assassinated three days after proposing that some black people deserved the right to vote? Must be a tribute to ignorance, that's the only answer.
Only one person can save the day. Jane/Lonny Eachus, we need you to leap into action and keep lecturing "the black people" on how ignorant their choices of heroes are. Maybe after enough mansplaining by old white guys, we'll finally be able to heal as a nation.
He had the gall to question Obama's citizenship (born in Hawaii to an American woman and Kenyan father), when Cruz was born in Canada (to an American woman) and has a Cuban father.
You got a cite for that? I can't see anything but a few far left mud slingers making that accusation. surely if Cruze did question Obama's eligibility, it would be documented somewhere before he started eyeballing the run himself.
But now it's crazy to question his ability to run for the presidency because his mother was American, ya know just like Obama
I would say the issue is already hammered out because of what happened with Obama and the only crazy thing about bringing it up would be some lame attempt to shovel different and contradictory results for pure political reasons.
