Many government retirees also get public paychecks - Yahoo! Finance:

I can exactly put my finger on it but something feels wrong about this. Maybe wrong is not the right word. It is more like working the system. I have known about the practice for years. I know many who do it. MIlitary, air traffic controllers, police, and etc and in my opinion many of them do it only to get a pay raise. It has less to do with other reasons but because I can and I deserve. I am hard pressed to think of any career where working 20% of the average life expectancy entitles you a paycheck for the rest of your life.

I got them here. http://www.hardworkinggloves.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_13&products_id=120 Later...

Microsoft loses i4i appeal, faces Word injunction in three weeks

I just finished reading this article and it grinds on me. I cannot speak to the details of this patent but on the surface it looks to me like many software patents. They fail on the Non-Obvious test. Maybe it is because I understand software but what amazes me is far different from my wife who is in the medical field and even further from those I meet who are less educated. This does not even come close to impressing me!! I am not a M$ groupie as they have many unworthy patents too. The patent system is broke in this this area as well as others. This is not Dave over Goliath. It is Dave leveraging a broken system over Goliath. The same system Goliath leverages to maintain competitive advantages. Wrong is Wrong even when Dave does it.

I saw how to do this on but the information was out of date. Download and install diffmerge. I used this link:  DiffMerge . Verify you can run it from the command line: Run the following commands from the git command line git config --global diff.tool diffmerge git config --global difftool.diffmerge.cmd 'sgdm "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"' git config --global merge.tool diffmerge git config --global mergetool.diffmerge.cmd 'sgdm --merge --result="$MERGED" "$LOCAL" "$(if test -f "$BASE"; then echo "$BASE"; else echo "$LOCAL"; fi)" "$REMOTE"' git config --global mergetool.diffmerge.trustExitCode true Now use the standard git commands for launching diffs and merges git difftool filename.ext git difftool branchname filename.ext git mergetool Note:  I had to perform these steps twice.  Once running the git command line under admin and once under user.  ...
