Retraining????

That would imply that the company trained you in the first place. My experience has been Training is not in the budget, Training is capped at $200 a year (not enough to get anything), Training is in-house (With an e-mail address that no one reads), or "You should pay for training as it benefits you by making you more desirable to the company"

How about this for retraining, We install Libre office on everyone's desktop and give them a free copy to use at home! Then there is no need to train or retrain them.

From experience, If you withdraw the money into your bank account and PayPal freezes your account they will put up to 3 months of withdraws back from your bank account.

That information you gave them to deposit the money is enough to go both ways. CC Merchant accounts do the same thing. The only way around this is to do PayPal --> Deposit Bank Account --> Checking account and make sure your deposit account is kept at a $0 balance.

The problem is they currently operate in the entertainment category.

The cop shoots you with a tazer and 5 other cops laugh as the first makes you twitch on command by pushing the button while hollering "stop moving"

Ahh to be killed in the defense of freedom and liberty or to die huddled and scared under the boot of ternary.

Gun please.

How about Trilithium Nitrate?

Or

Trilithium borate

I am not sure that three lithium atoms will bond on there own with out something else in the structure. ;P

Also, quite possibly, the VPS host provides Security Holes through VNC to access the virtualized "physical" screen and keyboard.

There, fixed that for you.

It just sounded better than "We spent XXX Billions of dollars to send the rover to mars and discover that there is dirt there."

Ill concede on that point but will add that you can get everything you need from Internet sources for less than 20k

A is not true, B well yes and no, C I disagree it is fun having your own biolab and you can do a lot with it.

Though I may be a bit optimistic, I have a biolab including a class 100 clean room and a degree to go with it so maybe the normal people are just too dumb for it but I tend to believe that everyone has the ability to excel given the right knowledge.

I dont think that is correct. Just to make a point

Blood Agar Plates == 10 for $23.95 (Online Science Mall)
Laminar flow hood == $400 (E-bay)
Incubator == $100 (e-bay)
Sample of pathogen == Free from Rats you just have to catch and test enough tell you find what you are looking for.
Microscope for identifying various pathogens. == $150 (E-bay)

So the stuff to capture and culture out a pathogen is less that $1000 and there are some nasty ones out there to be had. Just to point this out as well bubonic plague is easy to find in rat populations depending on where you are and it even easier to spread with little more than an eye dropper!

NOTE: E-bay prices are what I paid for my equipment. Bigger equipment can get expensive, for example my HPLC was $1500 and my Vis/UV Spectrophotometer was $300

They get nominated by the people you vote into office.

Kappos was vice president and assistant general counsel of intellectual property law, for IBM Corporation. (wikipedia) So he is a patent lawyer. He was nominated by the Whitehouse for the position in 2009. So he is one of Obama's Nominations.

I am all for baring lawyers from holding public office. It is a conflict of interest to put a lawyer in charge of making laws or running a government agency that has regulatory authority over anything.

No you are just looking at this wrong.

Florida has solved the homeless problem. They give them a place to sleep, free medical and dental, Free clothing, and three square meals a day. All paid for by Taxing the rich and giving it to the poor homeless in things they need. After a 14 month rehabilitation they are returned to society and should they not become a productive member they get to return to the government housing system for another 14 months.

Sure do cause heated debate on Slashdot.

I need more info on this!

Ill sue them if I can, Hell I sent out cease and desist letters and they just sold it off to another company.

I am so fed up of these calls as well as the collection companies trying to collect on debts from 20 years ago.

I did find a way to get them to pull you from the list.

1) Set up asterisks phone system.
2) Record the three tone sound and message that is played when you call a number than no longer exists.
3) Set the message played to a blocked caller in asterisks to be the recording of the tones with the message that the number no longer exists.
4) Blacklist every one of those F***ERS

When the system detects the tone it will remove your number from the list, Even if they have someone check the number it will play the "Has been disconnected or is no longer in service" message.

It cut my calls down to maybe one a month getting through and I just hit *32 after they get through and add the new number to the black list.
