In the US there are a whole lot of entry-level jobs for which your resume will get tossed immediately with no four year degree. Any degree. From any school. A generation ago you could get these jobs straight from high school, but that&#x2

I'm guessing you didn't have much success. Everyone thinks they'll be on the right side.

>On the other hand, any school can spin up a law program and start charging admission, no matter how qualified it is to actually do that. And a lot of them did, because a successful law school is a license to print money. Tuition is hig

You're right, of course, the studios will never be able to compete with pirates on price, and they're never going to get people determined to pay nothing to sign up. However, there are a lot of people who are willing to pay for

It's more like Karbonite, which you'd expect since the guy who did Karbonite (RoverDude) wrote that part. Though apparently they did add a Kethane-like resource overlay on the map view.

I should have done that. I played a bit at lunch and really, really didn't want to go back to work.

Utopian communes in the US predate the Kibbutz by almost 100 years. They mostly died out by the early 1900s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_Utopian_commun...

I do. If you can provide for yourself what right do you have to live off of me? That's the very definition of a parasite.

I guess if you don't the way democracies work you could get the impression people in legislatures are just doing whatever they want. I guess looking at outcomes is too complicated. That's okay. Men will just do what we always do

Where did I say banks brought down the economy? Where did I say bankers should go to jail? Did you just see some words you can identify and decide to hang rant #47 on a reply to my comment?

And yet a whole lot of them do end up leaving. If you carry on an office romance, particularly when one or both of you is married, that's a possibility. I've seen it at my office - it's pretty common for people to be unab

What's up is it's national news when a black person gets shot by a white cop, and when it's a white person taking the bullet the story stays on the local crime blotter.

That's not really an apples-to-apples comparison. Places with lots of tourists usually go pretty easy on them whenever it's possible. You don't want to scare your meal ticket into going somewhere else.

That's what I was wondering. I know a couple that were both loan officers before the market crashed. If they were making (individually) six figures I'll eat my hat.

Financial crimes in the US carry some pretty draconian penalties in terms of sentence length. They have to, because if people think financial institutions are going to run off with their savings the whole industry collapses. In Madoff&#x27

I am 100% sympathetic to that argument. Every time I hear someone bashing Sarbox because it "stifles innovation" I want to reach into my radio and slap the person who said it. I don't want "innovation" from my ret

You always ask for the moon when you sue someone - it doesn't cost anything to keep adding zeros. I doubt she believed she'd actually get something like that, though. If she did she's a fool.

Not one professor. Most of them for the first two years. The exceptions were younger guys who hadn't taught the class before, and there weren't many.

Yeah, this is my impression. People in the humanities spend a lot of time fielding snide comments and "do you want fries with that" jokes. Even though their critical thinking skills aren't any better than other college grad

It depends on the instructor and the way the university is set up. I had classes as an undergrad which the professor had literally been teaching for decades - these guys hadn't spent time on a lesson plan since before the Beatles brok
