Comment Professional background check (Score 0) 4

Either do it yourself or have the new employer do it before there are any questions.

Once I had a employer bring up dirt on me, and I told them it was false. We got to the point where they said they would run a professional background check and if it came up clean they would guarantee me a job. We did that. A week later, they offered a choice of 2 jobs to me.

> Does this sign the closing of the Mono project?

No. It's means that instead of once where you had to buy a special license to embed the Mono compiler, you now only need to use the LGPL rights to link to it.

If you are not interested into embedded Mono/.Net platform, then you are probably are not interested in this change.

For businesses like Second Life that use an embedded Mono system to compile their server-side scripts for their simulators, it is a big thing.

LOL, I knew you would give a response like that... that's why I put "*wink*" there.

If you want to get into FACTUAL and CREDIBLE sources, since the letter didn't actually come from Stormfront (they just had a copy of it and I posted their link *LOL*). Actually, I never knew what Stormfront was nor heard of the site until 'I was hunted down' for being neither pro-Israel nor pro-Iran!

But since you said that, here are the FACTS:
The official Hasbara handbook: http://www.middle-east-info.org/take/wujshasbara.pdf
You can read about it here: http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2007/01/13/p13653
Article "Israel's newest PR weapon: The Internet Megaphone": http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1162378505678&pagename=JPArticle%2FShowFull
(which is one of many source that verifies the copy of the letter above)

And, you can find links to GIYUS on the ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://abuja.mfa.gov.il/mfm/web/main/missionhome.asp?MissionID=20397&

Do I need to post more to show you how easy it would have been to google it before you accuse me of such 'lost all factual and moral credibility'??? Sheesh, I could have posted a link to a different site than Stormfront, but it wouldn't be as *cough* funny!

What's different between the Iranian regime going after Muslims.... and GIYUS (and gov) going after Muslims? GIYUS makes the Iranian government look like the wannabe-activists!

It's hardly a 'wannabe' site when it is backed by the Israeli government. There are several articles to google about this, but here is one *wink*:

Dear friends,

Many of us recognize the importance of the Internet as the new battleground for Israel's image. It's time to do it better, and coordinate our on-line efforts on behalf of Israel. An Israeli software company have developed a free, safe and useful tool for us - the Internet Megaphone.

Please go to www.giyus.org, download the Megaphone, and you will receive daily updates with instant links to important internet polls, problematic articles that require a talk back, etc.

We need 100,000 Megaphone users to make a difference. So, please distribute this mail to all Israel's supporters.

Do it now. For Israel.

What? An "indigent" is not an "illegal alien" by mere definition alone! I think you are confused about indigent. In fact, I think you need to look into indigent services in order to find out what you have missed as a Natural Born Citizen!!!

No wonder you and many other oppose the bill because you listened to complete lies!

Comment Re:Cap & Trade = Energy Rationing (Score 1) 874

> And energy rationing, by this name or any other, spells death for the economy. They might as well call it the "starve and freeze" bill.

"Energy rationing" clearly shows that people haven't read the bill. Cap & Trade is a way to shutdown excessive polluters and wasters. If there are two energy companies, and one of them produces so much more pollution then the other, then the polluter will be "capped" and their ability to produce energy will be "traded." The trade can happen several ways, the second energy producer can fully takeover the job and produce more, or it will be further outsourced. There is no "starve and freeze" allowed.

While the basics of the bill is easy, you can figure there will be much political battle over the regulations to outsource. We surely don't want another Enron being suddenly rendered lawful by this bill.
