So, you obviously know how to use the computer but you would choose hard labor for $15/hour when you can easily at the very worst temp for $20/hour sitting in a comfortable chair? Why?

What do you mean by somewhat pornographic? Is that like, I sort of cheated on you honey? Or like, I am not fat, I am full-figured ?

Did you read the article? Charney doesn't deny taking part in any of the activities described in the article. How is it an allegation when the guy himself admits it was true? And sorry but your argument is typical straw-man. Of course I d

Jeb I agree with you that the models are not technically underage. Moreover, I know from previous articles about AA that they make the models sign releases confirming they are of age. However, I think that makes it worse and I'd like to e

It's one thing to make sweeping statements about welfare of others and quite another to realistically look at what that means. I am nitpicking here but let's go over your list... I am going to break it down to how it really is in NYC (I pre

Forcing sexual relationships on people who work for you (or forcing a reporter to watch you have sex and masturbate) is hardly "overly-sexual". You said yourself that AA workers could not get the same money anywhere else... surely you don't

Jose First, I am choosing to live in New York to exactly the same degree that those immigrant workers are choosing to live in LA, second, I am an immigrant worker myself, and third, as I pointed out, cost of living in LA is very similar to

My main point wasn't the exact amount... I rather wanted to point out that the puff piece describes their pay as "significantly above minimum wage" while in fact it's a measly $25,000/year. I may be wrong on this one but I live in New York

I am sick of stories of how American Apparel is such an ethical company because they pay above minimum wage and make their clothes in the US. Yes, the clothes are manufactured in LA and the workers get above minimum wage. However, at $25,00

Hmm. It's kind of hard for me to reconcile those stats with my personal experience. Growing up in the 80's and 90's, there were hardly any divorced couples in Russia. A number close to half seems completely off. I have to question where t

@bd Just wanted to mention something that you may not be aware of. In most russian cities, housing stock is in very short supply (thanks to the legacy of centralized city planning) and people often stay together because otherwise they would

@cousin_it I also grew up in Russia (25 years between Siberia and Moscow) and have lived in the US for the last 12 years. From my experience, the typical Russian attitude of moral superiority (Americans = materialistic, Russians = spiritual

Excuse me, but I am compelled to call your bullshit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine#Overuse The only difference is, modafinil is classified as a drug and so the negative effects are termed "side effects" while caffeine is classifi

The title is pure bait. The woman did not lose her college degree, she lost her teaching assistant position. Even that happened because of poor performance reviews, not because of the photo. It sounds like the university did her a favor in

I am not a sysadmin either but I had exact same reaction as nazgulnarsil. I would think a sysadmin's thought process would follow the path of distance->latency->timeout pretty quickly. In other words, I understand what you are say

Stanley - as I said in another thread above, be careful of one common misconception. For most businesses, you need to foreign-qualify in the state that you do business in. The definition of doing business in a state varies, but if you have

Not sure if you've ever incorporated. I have, a couple times. In most states, your info goes into the state database that is wide open to the public, so you don't really get any privacy anyway.

If you do business in any state, you need to foreign-qualify in that state, which involves the same and sometimes even greater fees than if you just register locally as a domestic corporation/LLC. For example, incorporating in Indiana doesn
