Off Topic / Re: Fast food workers across the country rally for higher wages
« on: December 07, 2013, 10:10:46 AM »That's your own fault for agreeing to work for less than the value of your skill set. A company is going to try and get away with paying you as little as possible for your services, and even if you are doing significant and quality work they can and will fall back on your lack of degree as a reason to keep you at reduced pay.A business interested in long term success is not going to screw their employees, If you think that your employer is doing that I would quit working there immediately.

« on: December 07, 2013, 08:05:21 AM »how much do braces cost and is it comparable to invisalignI don't think Invisalign is a braces alternative, I think it is a retainer alternative. I have some a set of Invisalign retainers. They are ok I guess but I never had a regular retainer so I don't know.

« on: December 07, 2013, 08:00:25 AM »The thing is that $8 an hour is barely enough to liveYou have to understand that if the work your employee is doing is not worth $8, but you are forced to pay him that much anyways, that you will probably hire someone more experienced and will not try to train someone like a teenager looking for their first job. I make minimum wage too. In Maryland, it is ~$7.93. I am so grateful that my employer hired me even though I had no real background with bikes. I can Imagine I was a financial loss for his business the first few months I worked there. You should be payed for the value of the work you are doing, not what someone else thinks is "right".
No matter what educational background (or lack of one) one has, they should always not have to worry about not having a place to live or having food to eat.
It's not just fast food workers, its a lot of people who make minimum wage
Even laborers who do all the things we don't want to do and work their asses off can make pretty crappy wages.
I just think no matter what a job is, a person should at least be able to live a healthy life with their income.

Running multiple virus scans simultaneously is bad because the programs will detect each other and think they are viruses.
I would just suggest reverting to a restore point to before you got the virus. You won't lose any personal files doing this, only files related to the system will be affected.

Normally at my school we have 4 classes. But since I take an extended Cisco prep class (A+ Cert.) I only have 3 classes.
But yeah we might get an 8 period schedule and they are absolute hell. Along with alternating classes.

Get a really small operating system like Puppy Linux and burn the image onto a disk, or on a flash drive with Pendrive Linux Installer. Then mount C:\ and retrieve any personal data. Then wipe your hard drive, weep, and reinstall windows.
Or you could try to delete the program in Linux.

However all the pots suck and the cheap wires create lots of noise. I also need to shield the cavities for more noise reduction.
I don't see a single imageThe images are secure, I can change that.

I had this crappy beat up Les Paul copy that I had gathering dust, so I gave it an impromptu trippy paint job for shiggles, and I plan on upgrading some electronics.

You guys should check out some modern bands that have good rock vibe like Black Joe Lewis, Tame Impala, or the Black Keys.
