If I remember correctly from another story about it, the $2.2 million figure is their current profit, not revenue. If they devoted all of their profit and the savings from the CEO's pay cut to the raises for the other employees, they could give out an average raise of almost $26K. It isn't doable now, which is why they mentioned it's going to be done over the next 2-3 years. Of course the CEO is probably going to be getting more stock based compensation, so he may end up making more money assuming that the stock doesn't tank. The current investors may not like having zero profit, but who knows...they may get more business because of this stunt. I agree that a profit sharing agreement would make more sense.

Well, the HBO Now intro page does state that it's only available in the US and some US territories. So, yes, fans in other countries are still out of luck until all the licensing stuff is worked out.

If they have an Apple device that they can use to watch it. I've been debating whether it is worth it. If I want to watch it on my TV, I'd have to shell out for an HDMI adapter or an Apple TV. Given that there is just a $20 difference, I may end get the latter.

That's funny in that the people that I know who came in with a TN visa are software developers.

IIRC, there isn't a cap on those, but they're limited to citizens of Canada and Mexico.

Yes, please! Every desk in the building at work has a 4ft long fluorescent tube for when one needs light to read manuals, printouts, etc. But in addition to that there are another set of 3 tubes about every six feet in the false ceiling with practically non-existent diffusers. For me, this causes a lot of eye strain due to the glare on the monitors and in some cases, a bare tube being in my line of sight when I'm trying to read something on the screen. At one point, I brought in a baseball cap to wear at my desk so my eyes wouldn't hurt. Given that everyone is reading a screen which is emitting light, there is no reason for all the lights in the ceiling to be on. It's not like anyone is doing needlepoint or surgery here. They could get rid of 2 out of every 3 tubes in each light fixture and still have sufficient light for doing work, meetings, etc. It would save money too. I think I'm more productive after hours for two reasons: 1) no managers or business users are asking me questions and 2) my eyes feel better because I can turn off all the lights in my area.

Apparently that's what South Korea requires and is often cited as one of the reasons why their average home bandwidth is much higher than the US. Of course, a part of that is also getting rid of the situation where Comcast or some other company has a government mandated local monopoly. Then other companies could build their own networks in new housing developments/apartment complexes (or when the local PUC allows for upgrades to existing areas) but be able to provide service on Comcast's lines as well.

Can you buy them from Amazon?

well, the guy in NOLA tried.

Demolishing them would actually free up the land so something useful could be done with it and any metal would be taken to a scrap yard. Just abandoning this stuff is a waste of resources.

It's too bad they can't find a use for these facilities. Contractors would rather build new stuff that may or may not ever be used.

Only for multi-packs of 800 lumen lamps: http://www.amazon.com/Cree-9-5... what if you need a 1600 lumen lamp?? Also off topic why does Chrome think lumen is a spelling error?

I imagine vendors that have a port replicator (power, display, ethernet, SD reader, and multiple USB ports -- all the stuff that one would expect on a laptop) that works with the new USB-C connector will sell quite a few of them.

Motorhead, Slayer, Brujeria, Assjack...

I know. But it's not so much about "complain about not getting in their pants" as much as the total absence of anything resembling politeness by most people, especially women these days. Oh well, I guess I can always charge up with some greasy chili containing lots of beans & onions to make their evening a memorable one. :) That was usually a good way to keep the drunks away when I used to record shows for bands.
