    Nearly 35,000 Ford workers sign grievance over pay

    Yeah, slaves got a roof over their head, and food. <snort> Unsanitary conditions, inadequate nutrition and unrelenting hard labor made slaves highly susceptible to disease. Illnesses were generally not treated adequately, if at all, and slaves were often forced to work even when sick. The...

    Obama along with other countries to tap oil reserves

    Wow so you're saying that the IEA has to do what Obama says? They don't, and we don't. That's why I called it "a cooperative, coordinated effort", because, you know, it was a cooperative effort in which people agreed to do it, and in which the releases are to be coordinated. The idea for this...

    Obama along with other countries to tap oil reserves

    Not even close. For one, this is not "barry's" doing, its a cooperative, coordinated effort by the IEA (U.S. and European energy officials). Two, this is a move aimed directly at oil speculators. It's not politics, it's solely about driving oil speculators out of the market, and it'll work. With...

    Texting in Indiana

    I did. The phrase from the text of the legislation that I quoted: while operating a moving motor vehicle was both bold and underlined. The bolding and underlining emphasis was my doing, and is not present in the original legislation. The emphasis was to, you know, emphasize that part of the...

    Do straight truck have to keep a log book

    I think the phrase you are searching for is "marginally comprehensible communications skills". :D

    Do straight truck have to keep a log book

    It varies. Some use correct punctuation, but leave a letter here or there off the end of some words. :D

    Texting in Indiana

    Well, if you could read and comprehend the English language, you would be. The law is worded quite specifically, and quite clearly.

    Texting in Indiana

    According to the text <snort> of the actual law, So, it's only while moving. And, an officer can't say, "Gimme your phone, you idiot," to check the text logs and verify that you were texting. And, it's only text and e-mail messages. So, it's perfectly legal while operating a moving motor...

    Unemployed to be drug tested...finally

    Kind of like no point in giving the HAZMAT test until you've been fingerprinted and passed the background check.

    I really need a geek

    I'm on the computer quite a bit. My MS Mini Mouse uses a single AA battery. The mouse is always "live" because I never insert the receiver into the mouse to save the battery. I get about a month out of a battery, but I use rechargeables. AA batteries for the mouse, camera, and an 8-battery bunk...

    Nearly 35,000 Ford workers sign grievance over pay

    Not even close to being treated like a slave. The working people are hired, and paid, to do a job, a job in which they played no part in and risked nothing to create.

    Parking problems

    Go up I-435 to I-35 north towards Des Moines to Exit 16, it's about 10 miles from the J, but there is a Walmart with plenty of parking (and shade trees), as well as a veritable cornucopia of restaurants nearby.

    New study: You can't live on minimum wage

    The article didn't say she was buying the house right now, it just said she had the down payment so she could "soon" put it down on a house. Soon may very well mean as soon as she gets her college degree. She's doing everything else right, it would seem, so I don't see her going through all...

    Nearly 35,000 Ford workers sign grievance over pay

    The stupid greedy people will realize that, just about the time the other stupid greedy people realize they have it better than most right now and if they all walk off they can all be replaced in a heartbeat, either with new employees or new foreign auto makers building cars in the south for $8...

    I really need a geek

    Hey, you asked for a geek, you got a geek. :D There's so much crap rattling around in my head I don't even know where some of this stuff comes from. The wireless radio signal, like any of them, is subject to interference, but mainly it's just the signal and how the receiver and the computer...

    New study: You can't live on minimum wage

    The problem is the jobs availability that's above minimum wage - they're few and far between these days. At least you got to give the girl credit, working two jobs, 60 hours a week, she's hardly sitting back and raking in the welfare. The command to "be fruitful and multiply" didn't come with...
