<0> docfu: they may as well just give em less, and not fart about.
<1> yeah but then the unemployeement goverment reps would have to get their paycheck from somewhere else
<1> plus by taking out taxes the IRS can track it easier
<2> docfu, unemployment is already paid for from taxes paid by the employer. So, to then tax the tax money when it's paid out is, well, just crooked.
<0> Ka-bar: it's a con to be able to say they pay f.e. 70$/week unemployment, and then charge $35/week tax on it.
<1> Ka-Bar try to look at it as the product of accountability + corruption, the whole idea of the tax is to prevent abuse
<3> hey whyz
<0> Hey nanuq.
<3> whyzzyrd: $70 week unemployment?
<0> Nanuq: no idea. but it were an example.
<3> ah
<3> whyzzyrd: I'm actually getting $10 more per period (two weeks) due to the lower tax rate.
<0> Nanuq: The idea was that they could claim that they pay large unemployment checks out, but then tax half of it back, halving the cost thereof.
<3> whyzzyrd: 15% from 16%
<0> Nanuq: you not renew your contract then?
<3> whyzzyrd: same idea here, yeah. but at least they don't take EI off your EI :)
<1> whyzzyrd well if they pay you jack then you should be motivated to get another job right?
<3> docfu: yeah, they haven't figured that out here
<0> Nanuq: nor here.
<3> docfu: I get more on the dole than I would if I were to pick up $random_job
<3> docfu: esp. when they take EI and CPP off $random_job
<1> nanuq yeah, the system needs a major overhaul
<3> docfu: that's almost 7% itself
<1> scarily
<0> Nanuq: it's the same here.
<1> the pay for english teachers in japan hasn't increased in 16 years
<1> in fact its gone down slightly
<0> Nanuq: and then you get all sorts of other benefits, because you're not working.
<0> docfu: over-rich market?
<3> whyzzyrd: like?
<2> docfu, you got a donut on neko?
<4> hi all.anyone experienced in creating\mirroringrpm repositories?
<1> whyzzyrd no the goverment set the standard like 16 years ago and never updated it cause nobody gives a ****
<3> whyzzyrd: benefit of not having to get up? ;)
<0> Nanuq: don't pay local tax. Get handout for "winter fuel", Get handout to decorate your house they give you, and make it nice.
<1> no donut
<3> whyzzyrd: None of that here. :P
<0> Nanuq: but they do pay your rent eh?
<3> whyzzyrd: no?
<0> Nanuq: So how do you pay your rent?
<1> he lives with his parents
<1> must be nice folks
<3> whyzzyrd: that's what the EI is for
<0> ahh. But if he were to be homeless, they'd give him accomodation too.
<0> EI ?
<3> whyzzyrd: of course
<3> whyzzyrd: EI, pogey, dole
<3> whyzzyrd: I get $413 per week, net $720 (now) per period (two weeks)
<1> nanuq you get that every two weeks?
<3> docfu: $1440 per month to sit on my *** and peruse jobbank.gc.ca. ;)
<1> thats like $5 us!
<5> PoS network
<3> docfu: that's about $1240 USD
<1> ok thats sad
<3> docfu: what is?
<1> i make like $140 more than you and work 40+ hours a week
<3> docfu: I work 37.5 hours a week for half the year! ;)
<3> Well, between three and seven months. Depends.
<0> docfu: God, if the difference was $140/month, I dunno if I'd be motivated.
<0> docfu: presumably that's after tax?
<3> docfu: yeah, and I only spend 40% of this amount.
<1> well i don't actually do anything at my job
<1> yeah
<3> docfu: have the rest banked. dunno what to do with it, heh.
<1> nanuq get a college degree
<3> docfu: No thanks, I can get toilet paper cheaper.
<1> hehehe
<0> docfu: Not sure he wants to bother
<1> tamahome got his
<1> i told him to go to japan and get a job
<3> good for him
<1> he sounded less than enthusastic
<3> docfu: college here isn't the same as there
<0> docfu: he get a better job for it?
<3> docfu: colleges here don't give out BAs and BSes, etc.
<1> naw he said ottowa's govt isn't hiring
<1> nanuq oh what do they give out?
<3> docfu: Bull****, they are.
<3> docfu: More of a certificate than a degree.
<3> docfu: A university here will grant degrees.
<1> how many years do you spend in school?
<3> docfu: three, usually four
<3> docfu: Really, it's dumb luck getting a gov't job. Once you're in, though, you're grand.
<1> nanuq degrees are worthless though unless you really try to do something with them
<1> yeah ditto here
<3> docfu: I'm not perm yet, but I'm working on that.
<3> docfu: Give me a year or two.
<3> docfu: If that urine drinking bloke can get perm, so can I.
<0> anyone any idea how to persuade firefox to let me use ports that aren't erm standard?
<3> whyzzyrd: you mean foo.com:7070, for example, doesn't work?
<0> Nanuq: yup
<3> whyzzyrd: and you've checked about:config ?>
<1> wlfshmn url
<6> docfu: err, none. but I'm sure there is info somewhere
<0> says: This address is restricted. The address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
<1> wflshmn oh you um...have the whole thing? :)
<0> Nanuq: I had a look in about:config but didn't see anything
<6> docfu: yeah
<0> Nanuq: and to boot, they misspelled cancelled in the error message.
<1> wlfshmn let me know if its as good as resident evil was
<6> docfu: us dvd release yesturday, I think
<6> docfu: I don't expect much
<1> actually
<1> let me know if the 'virus' rumor as opposed to demons is true
<0> wlfshmn: it'll be as good as playing super-mario on a data projector.
<1> i wanna know if they completely ****ed up the plot
<3> whyzzyrd: wow
<7> whyzzyrd: check your plugins too.
<7> whyzzyrd: some plugin might be doing that.
<3> whyzzyrd: I just noticed that pipelining was enabled in the prefs, but wasn't in about:config :P
<6> docfu: it's the rock in the lead. in a movie sosurced from a computer game. go figure.
<1> true that
<1> doom3 ****ed compared to 1 and 2 even
<3> whyzzyrd: haw haw, found it
<8> Reckon? I heard that
<9> this remote power strip is great
<9> I can ssh in and turn stuff off and on
<7> blueroo: yeah, those rule
<9> but the ssh prompt takes *forever*
<9> generating a new host key, I'm sure
<3> whyzzyrd: create a new entry named "network.security.ports.banned.override" and give it a comma-delimited list of acceptable ports
<7> man, I must've been damned hungry.
<9> siglite: they make life soo much easier
<3> heya sig

<9> siglite: that's funny. I ate a muffin a few minutes ago and I feel like I've eaten a 3 course meal
<7> blueroo: I'm totally stuffed from two ham and cheese sandwiches, one slice of ham and cheeze each
<9> I think it's this new medicine I'm on
<1> siglite thats pretty
<3> whyzzyrd: exact term was "firefox non standard port"
<9> mmm, ham and cheese
<9> mmm, strattera
<9> good for my diet anyway :)
<3> whyzzyrd: istr this issue in netscape 4, back in the day
<0> I googled firefox port restriction, and a number similar. Remove port restrictions.
<0> Nanuq: never ran over it in N4 personally, and used it for ages.
<7> blueroo: I've stopped eating full portions of anything. As a result, about a third of what I used to eat fills me up.
<10> hmm, watching commander in chief. It's just not the same as watching the west wing
<7> fredk: I used to kinda like west wing. I haven't bothered watching it in a long time though.
<9> siglite: it's a little sad in a way. food is so enjoyable.
<10> siglite, it used to be great, now..it's kinda fading, and with the loss of john spencer :)
