Regardless of the content of the movie, what's the deal with linking to a Hulu page which offers little more than a player for this 2 hour and 24 minute movie? The entire "description" on this page is a single sentence and there's no suppor

Many people keep talking about "driving the point home" like the majority of people using IE6 are doing so by choice. Gmail doesn't work, Youtube soon won't work, site after site that people use for personal browsing are limiting IE6 users

He got paid more and he has more expenses. No health coverage - he'll be lucky to find a group policy with an organization or professional association. No matching 401K, no tuition reimbursement, and on and on. It's not a valid comparison.
