Comment Warren says not to pay 4 people who already paid (Score 1) 67

What about Warren? She said that anyone who busted their butt to pay for college should not be reimbursed and anyone who ran up huge debt should. Sounds similar to me. If NY already has a plan, let them go do it. Let's pay to get new programs off the ground and get to the real rural areas that are not being serviced.

Comment YAY! It should go down in flames (Score 1) 422

If a doctor doing tele-surgery on a child over the internet isn't more important than the next season of "13 ways I killed myself" then I don't know what you guys are smokin'. Up to this point I haven't seen widespread blocking of applications based on data. Maybe based on security, but not data and if AT&T wants to not ding me for Directv content, then so be it. The others can still use the pipes. If I go to T-Mobile I can watch unlimited YouTube.

Corporations Hiring Hooky Hunters 610

No longer satisfied with your crinkled doctor's note, a growing number of corporations are hiring "Hooky Detectives." Private investigator Rick Raymond says he's staked out bowling alleys, pro football games, weddings and even funerals looking for people using sick days. From the article: "Such techniques have become permissible at a time when workers are more likely to play hooky. Kronos, a workforce productivity firm in Chelmsford, Mass., recently found that 57 percent of salaried employees take sick days when they're not sick — almost a 20 percent increase from statistics gathered between 2006 and 2008."
