  Job

  How to I get ahold of this manager and force them to give me a job, while keeping my current job. They will, of course, have to pay for my travel to and from my current job and I will prove I am working by remoting into the server.
  
  I could also setup a server to store data and lease it out, promoting government type security.

  private company

  If a private company tried to setup an auto delete system for email contacts, they would be strung up by the government and run out of business.

  officer question

  What training do police get when they are going to search phones so they don't disturb the data? With a computer, you make a copy of the drive so you don't alter the original. At a stop, are they going to do the same thing or are they going to get their finger prints all over everything by browsing through the phone?

  Assaulted.

  If she had been running, spun around and sprayed the cop with pepper, because she thought she was being assaulted, how would this have turned out?

  fire question

  Every once and a while there are switches on the wall that are marked "fire". Does this mean that an AK-47 will start shooting?

  lawmakers

  Many of our law makers seem to think of their job as a joke and I know laugh about it. If you ask people how many scandals there have been, I'm sure you'd get the answer "One to many."
  
  So, using the same logic, can we make it illegal to be a representative? Doesn't this go along with the same logic that is being applied to a vague bill?

  Let's make it easy, ask them what law, specifically bans this. Watch them fumble and not give an answer.

  printer

  My question is, they have a secure room, letting people look at secure documents that they are not allowed to copy or take with them. Yet they have access to a printer or have the ability to install one??

  Re: Canada did it too

  Wouldn't that mean that people would stop making over $250,000? Or they find another way to get extra money without being taxed. That is how benefits came into play, the government limited how much people could get paid, so companies started giving extra things to their employees.

  Doesn't this mean that all those math sites can't add numbers together?

• On the post: India Says No Thanks To The $100 Laptop

  Go India!!!

  India believes teachers are more important then computers? I bet they also have the backwords idea that TV's can't babysit kids.
  
  India has the right idea, get more and better teachers, which will make smarter kids, who then can afford computers better then $100. If you look at how much we outsource to them not only in terms of call centers, but also medical stuff, they are doing much better then we do here in america.

  Well, what you do is put up a test photo with something completly stupid. I have a 95 geo metro, 3 cylinder. Put a picture of it at 150 mph(which the highest it shows is like 90). See if anyone comes knocking.

  Re: Do the artists really care?

  Downloading music is the way of the future. If artists aren't getting a cut, they should rise up against RIAA. But that would mean no one would be backing RIAA and they would be all alone.. hmm, no to bad of an idea.
