You are right on the money. This code of conduct issue sounds like just another way for liberals to only play by the rules when it suits their shadowy agenda. Similar to Google yelling 'free speech' when it suits them but censor free speech 'to keep things civil' when that suits them. It's no wonder Google removed 'Don't Be Evil' from their motto, though I'm surprised they were so brazen about admitting their alignment.

If you read the OP, 'The average warehouse worker at Walmart makes just under $40,000 annually, while at Amazon would take home about $24,300 a year," CNN reported in 2013.' So how can you include Walmart in your statement? Think about that: the AVERAGE warehouse worker at Walmart made 40k in 2013, 5 years ago! That's almost $20 an hour and pretty good money for people driving forklifts and pushing skid jacks.

Not only that but Walmart increased its minimum starting wage and gave $1000 bonuses to employees just this January. Walmart also does not have a parasitic relationship to the U.S. Postal Service.

I love the way the streaming companies are getting into the business of creating content. Sure, some of it, okay a lot of it, sucks. But a lot of it is quite good. Another classic Sci-Fi novel I've been waiting to see made and maybe it will soon is Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama. Guess who has the rights and has been trying to get it made for 20 years... Morgan Freeman. I never thought of him as a Sci-Fi kind of guy but, yeah.

You are arguing something that is completely irrelevant. It says right in the first sentence of the article that it will be a series not a movie.

I think that was ISIS.

I don't know if it's true or not but I heard a story that the only time Harry Houdini couldn't pick a lock to escape from a jail cell was when the deputy didn't actually lock the lock. That story inspired me a long time ago to hang yellow sticky notes on my monitor with what appear to be passwords written on them. Everything from "secret123" to "p455w0rd". I crack me up.

That you made this political is not surprising in the least. After all, it was clearly a political statement.

But this political statement was made by some no-name at a dictionary web site, someone who has even less authoritas to spew their political opinion than the typical musical star or television actor.

You made a very good point, using only evidence in the article to highlight the hypocrisy in the visa system. Obviously we don't need to import job seekers who cannot have qualifications beyond what every American computer science graduate has.

For positions which are not entry-level, one way that companies are getting their cheap H1B labor is by exaggerating the 'particular hard-to-find skill set', creating a combination that no one in the industry would actually have. But miraculously, the "consulting" company finds just such applicant overseas.

You don't have to go to other countries to check these results. I have gotten the most confusing emoticons while texting with my girlfriend and when I have asked her what they mean it turns out they aren't even the same as what she is seeing. I'll ask 'what is this one with the frowny face winking at me and tears flying out to the sides?' and she'll say 'what?! That isn't what it looks like.' Being an Android guy dating an iPhone girl is downright confusing.

This sounds like Stephen King's novel, The Running Man. The movie diverged a bit but was similar. Citizens help the authorities catch someone on the run.

I have to agree. I don't think it's a bad thing though. It's a creative solution to their recruiting doldrums. It stimulates the reward neurons in a candidates brain.

I don't see anything in that clause that contradicts what I said. The progress of science obviously is not relevant to a fantasy fiction novel which I used as an example so it only falls under promotion of "useful arts". Writing fiction, singing, playing an instrument, or acting are promoted by copyright. Non-fiction such as a scientific article published in a journal would however fall under promoting the progress of science. But I really can't see that you made a point at all. It seems like you merely provided documentation that affirms my understanding of the purpose of copyright law, yet for some reason you wrote the affirmation in an argumentative manner as if you were refuting me. Please explain.

Xbox has been a an Ex-box for me for a long time. The way Microsoft nickel and dimes you for everything on that platform really turned me off to it. I like Steam and PC Gaming.
