    Every place around here where employers offer it do offer the proper charging stations. it keeps the crackheads from standing around in the parking lot charging their phones if you dont use a standard 110V outlet. plus they get a govt credit for installing the proper device.

    Yahoo the first company to get completely destroyed by "terrorists" in an overnight terrorist attack.

    FBI issued a response moments after, "If you tell anyone about our requests, the terrorists win. We Warned them against this.
      Look at what happened to yahoo..... Anyone else interested in telling others what we asked for?"

    The FBI director when questioned was quoted as saying "fugeddaboutit" and called for his man Vinnie.

  4. Cut your charging rate in 1/2 because they are not pointing at the sun. off axis loses on solar panels are 50% on average for a surface like a car where a good 20% will be pointing away from the sun and 50% will be pointing straight up and not at the sun. and god help you if there is ANY shadow, even a single 1cm wide line will drop charging rates DRAMATICALLY as any shadow causes massive loss to power for all the panels to one side of it even if they are in the sun.

    Most of those have some moron in a Giant SUV parked in front of it. I just wish more businesses would tow and impound those stupid giant wastes of space that park where they dont belong.

    What I will look forward to is the influx of "make your 3 look like an S to the charging station" adapters that will flood ebay. Fuck you rich asshole, you can wait for that unwashed poor person to use the charger.

  7. Unless your sandwiches are made by a 5 star chef to my dietary requirements and liking, I'll go out to eat. that 40 minutes is $40 of my time and if you don't provide me a $30 sandwich, the CEO can stuff it.

    Companies that do this provide garbage sandwiches. I've been at those places, the catering sounds great to the new kiddies, but those of us that value our health will not touch the 60grams of carbohydrate and 600 grams of sodium $0.90 sandwich.

    Anyone worth their salt uses that lunch hour to reset and be far more productive in the afternoon. monkeys that band out garbage? they eat at their desk and stay "productive"... which is why their code is usually crap.

  8. All that is needed is a pure android with some added functions to detect when you are on a government or police fake cellphone tower and other crud that leaks information.

    no need to build any hardware as a nexus unlocked phone or even a oneplus unlocked phone will do what is needed. it is simply a clean install of android with no added bullshit shovelled in and some extra tools.
