@TexRob No, the correct way to make it not just lip service is to not have crunches like that again, period. Life's not an equation where you have compensation on one side and crappy lifestyle on the other and everything is ok if the equation is balanced. At some point, no amount of compensation actually compensates for a sucky existence.
As an attorney, I am speaking from experience. I would take a massive pay cut right now to work some place where I'm not pulling all-nighters on a regular basis.
@LinkRazr When I was in college, one morning after a particularly loud open party, our (college age) neighbors complained to us about the noise: "I don't want to hear Dancing Queen being blasted at 2 AM!" Worst mistake they could have made. Guess how we closed out every party for the rest of the year.
@My Prerogative I hate Nickelback as much as the next guy, but seriously, if someone threw a rock at me, I'd leave too. I don't think "rock dodging" is written into their contract under "Obligations of the Band."
@darkinchworm Wow. I feel bad for all of you. I LOVE perfect situation and have been dying for it to launch on Rock Band. I only wish it had the pro upgrade as well.
@Raiderfan Not that I support Impulse, I don't, but really everyone is basing their analysis on the title of the patent, which actually means absolutely squat. It's the claims that matter. Let me see those, then we can figure out if this thing has any merit.
