and it depends on how you define overtime. Yes, I get paid for every hour I work on my Government contract but that will be straight time not time and a half. This change mandates time and a half for any employee that is paid less than 50K per year.
About time that they put a stop to the shit of adding Assistant Manager to the title of one of the line workers at McDonalds or Wal-Mart and then make them an exempt employee not getting overtime or time and a half and 27K per year.
I really think this change is aimed at those kinds of situations as will as help desks using the Tech exemption to work support people 60 hours a week for 30K a year.
Can you explain to my why it is "cool" to dunk the ball and then celebrate your accomplishment but get a perfect score and everyone looks down on you for ruining the curve? Try being openly happy proud about that perfect score and you will get a lecture from a school official about humility. Go figure.
Thanks for the tip on the mouse. Now if I could find a full-size Bluetooth keyboard. all I can find seem to be chicklet style meant for a tablet or Mac.
Can't prove it but I would be willing to bet that your use inadvertently approved the Win10 install.
Agree that Microsoft makes this too easy and shouldn't download and install anything like an O/S upgrade/downgrade unless an administrative user specifically requests and authorizes it, your user wasn't running with admin rights and UAC off, RIGHT?
Encryption breaks this attack. Evidently many of the wireless peripheral manufacturers use the same chipset (RTFA). The chipset will support encryption but the device manufacturers have to write their own drivers to implement the encryption. Most have chosen not to.
Bluetooth peripherals encrypt by default but unless you are using a tablet it is damn near impossible to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Logitech made the excellent MX 5500 Revolution set (I have two) but discontinued them a few years ago. Someone on Amazon is asking $650 for unopened examples. Not sure he has sold any at that price.
Optional because you only need it if you are running one of the affected wireless products. or do you routinely install updates for devices you don't have connected to your computer.
Yeah, the automatically install Windows 10 thing has been debunked numerous times. The update has to approved by the user. Granted the download will occur if you have automatic updates installed and that can be an issue for users on metered connections.
Doesn't the NTP specification have something about how devices are supposed to ignore NTP updates that are X number of minutes different than the current time the device has?
Posting again as I seem to have missed the reply button. Read history:
Women's suffrage aka the right to vote was the 19th amendment passed for the 1920 presidential amendment.
Poll taxes were outlawed by the 24th amendment in 1964. Poll taxes were common in the southern US and designed to prevent poor whites and blacks from voting.
Literacy tests were also used to prevent the poor from even registering.
You may not have seen these events but they were very real in the United States of America well into the 20th century.
Interesting, also notice the carrier locked models are the problem not the unlocked models directly purchased from Motorola. This might be related to the carriers being reluctant to distribute the upgrades not Motorola's willingness to release.
Average is at 50% not below so probably from 40-60 for a fairly representative range.
You have an awfully broad definition of welfare if you include mortgage deductions and free primary/secondary school.
By your definition I get welfare in the form of a mortgage deduction and none of the rest unless you include the benefits that I earned for 25 years as a member of the US military.
Self-employed so I do not qualify for unemployment benefits, SSDI not a chance, need-based scholarships and adjusted rates for medical, not a chance.
Last year I made enough to fall at the 60% mark and damn well paid income taxes.
Don't fucking attack my honesty if you have no clue about who I am. You are the dishonest one that is unwilling to admin that the minimal socialist policies that have been a part of the country since the founding might just have helped you to the position you are in.
FYI, the US military is the largest socialist organization we have, Collective protection of US interests and all. You pay taxes and expect us to defend you, socialism at it's finest.

The United States is the exemplary of Capitalism, you know another economic theory like Communism.
The United is not so much the exemplary of Democracy, see voting rights for women, poor people and non-white. The US is a Representative Democracy with only some adults getting to choose the representatives.
Check out the Moto G line of phones. Unlocked GSM phones for approximately $200, no carrier bloatware and Motorola is pretty good about staying current with Android. My Gen 1 Moto G is still going strong with Android 5.1
This might change with the Lenovo buyout but for now a good deal if you don't need a flagship phone and want an unlocked phone.
All that research done by Pratt and Whitney... Boeing... Lockheed Martin...
If socialism were superior the Russians would have won the Cold War.
They didn't because its inferior. Stop for a moment and look at all your dumb arguments are apply them to the soviets. IF you were right, they should have been dramatically more successful. Instead they were dramatically less successful.
That 20th century cage match apparently isn't taught in schools these days. Socialism lost on everything but politics. And the political argument is sustained largely by ignorance and sophistry. Any time empiricism becomes relevant... it gets its head twisted off and spiked into the ground like a tent pole.

-- Much of which was paid for by tax dollars, again if Space-X and all had to pay patent royalties or raise VC dollars to do the research they would have never made it.

-- Aren't you a bit confused, the Soviet Union claimed to be Communist not Socialist, different economic systems. The Scandinavian version of socialism seems to be doing quite nicely. Also FYI the United States implements some socialist bits quite nicely, or maybe you have never noticed how well the Interstate road system works.
-- FYI I served 25yrs in the USAF, mostly during that "cage match" so get off your high horse about people not having a clue.
But only because the commercial companies took all the taxpayer paid research and built on it to create the commercial platforms. Good think the commercial companies don't have to pay that money back via patent royalties.
Sorry, but the "looney leftists" on the Supreme Court didn't interpret it that way until 2008 after the NRA and their backers, Remington and Winchester threw millions of dollars at politicians. Prior to the '80s the NRA was small organization primarily composed of local hunters, the gun and ammunition manufacturers threw millions at the NRA and turned it into a lobby promoting all sorts of gun rights.
So sorry if your world view doesn't coincide with reality.
Now personally, even though I am in your book a "looney leftist", I believe that the founding fathers intended it to be a personal right/obligation to own firearms but only because they knew that when the Continental Army was formed they had no funds to equip the militia with firearms and believed that if the common man did not have the firearms the country would never be able to defend itself from foreign invaders.
Until 2008 and the appearance of an activist conservative court the Supreme Court had not found an individual right to own firearms in the Second Amendment. Until then the Supreme Court had interpreted the Second Amendment as only applying to the Federal Government and that States had the right to regulate firearms.
I don't, but then I make sure Dell sends me the SKU that the DoD orders when I order my laptops. You know, the one that is camera delete. Every major manufacturer has a SKU for the DoD that eliminates the camera and has a physical switch that disables the wireless chip, and the DoD tests to make sure the wireless is really disabled. If the company sales rep says he doesn't know anything about it tell him to talk to the DoD sales rep.
Yes, they will sell to non-DoD customers. You would think the head of the FBI would do this too.
The ACLU does defend the Second Amendment. The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment's reference to "a well-regulated Militia" to mean a collective right, rather than an individual right. Which means the ACLU would probably not agree with my line of reasoning whereas the NRA interprets the Second Amendment as promoting an individual right and would be the more appropriate civilian advocate to defend our right to use encryption on an individual basis.
So NO, not an excuse to shit on the NRA but an appeal to the advocacy group that professes to care about my individual rights when it come to the Second Amendment.
Follow along with me: Cryptograghy is subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) This means the Federal Government treats Cryptography as an Armament What does the second amendment say: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" Hey NRA time to step up and defend the Second Amendment against the heinous assault. Slippery slope and all. You don't want these guys coming after your guns do you.

What make these Vizio TV any different from the many Android TV devices that have had Google Cast for a while now?
My Sony 65x810C has had Google Cast since I bought it for $1200 at Black Friday. Same price range as the Vizio e-series.
