Um no.

I'm the employee, you are the employer.

I come in ready to work, you supply the tools for me to work.

The tools are yours, you can monitor, adjust, replace, revoke, and have Orwellian standards on them. That's because you employed me and provided them.

Past that? fuck off.

Started Using Ubuntu when Steam rolled out - I can definitely assure the Linux developers the easiest way to proportionally reduce my use of windows is to increase the proportion of linux gaming.

Please save me from Windows 8 and the trainwreck that follows!

Thank you for your answer, but I've found in my experience that the people who fear guns cannot be reasonable in a discussion about gun control.

I am leaving windows because of the way win vista win 7 and win 8 suck. Ever since steam launched their linux ubuntu, I have not booted into my XP gaming station.

I am trying to find how to load a virtual version that actually boots my XP already loaded so I can toggle back and forth.

Please, Linux devs, support and port all the gaming . I need to be able to play x-com, defense grid, fallout etc.. on the linux platform.

Great job, thanx for an awesome os - keep it up and get it so I can tell microsoft to piss off.

Napster was radio without commercials.

I got to listen to a bunch of bands then went and bought thier music. I was buying about a disc a week.

Then they went after napster. Metallica was the poster child, even though they actually embraced "record and share our stuff" .

So I quit buying compact disks.I wasn't the only one.

fast forward to the dying industry today. //waves to the net police

If you would of embraced the idea that people hearing music and actually would d/l songs inexpensively way back then, you'd be in a much better marketing position today.

I don't d/l your music, but I do find other artists that aren't with you - patchouli.net for one. I also hit pawn shops and resale places - 50 cents or less a disc.

Your loss for being an idiot.

I would love to use public transportation to get to my job.

A bus nearby would get me to the electric line in the chicago area to board in Richton park. An hour and twenty minutes later I could switch trains and head to naperville. After that hour and twenty minute ride I could walk three blocks to work.

Or I can drive for forty minutes and get to work.

I would love to actually move to naperville, but when I bought my house at a fantastic price (it was worth 40 thousand more than I agreed to pay for it) I can't actually sell it cause I'm 60 thousand in the hole due to the market crash.

I can't get a job locally that pays a living wage, crook county has made sure not only to overtax, but to actually chase businesses away. So either I commute or lose everything.

The mass transit system in the chicago area sucks. Unless you manage to live in the city itself, and work in the city itself it's worthless. It would fold overnight if it couldn't tax all the collar counties that can't use the system anyway.

It's a collosal mess and money pit. Just like everything that Chicago runs.
