"But how much can you claim? if your employer calls you in they have to pay you for at least two hours... "
I leave work and drive home. if I get a phone call or email I must respond to I coult all the time from when I left work into that call.
Call to ask me a question at 10pm? I just got 5 hours of overtime for that call. IT significantly limits the quantity of dumb calls that can easily be answered the next work day at the office.
Competent IT will put in Stream reflectors for the users.
We put that in place for the 10 top played internet radio streams in the company, the $200.00 linux servers connects, and then rebroadcasts the stream to up to 500 users.
So I have 500 people listening with the bandwidth overhead of 10.
"that's why I quit my previous employer. The HR bitch at ABM was threatening to fire me if I didn't work off the clock and pay checks were usually quite late."
You fill out time cards anyways and turn them in with the overtime. make copies and send them and your pay stubs to the state.
HR bitch ends up fired, Company is fined a very significant amount of money and is forced to pay all back wages to all employees with interest.
If you keep your mouth quiet and act like a good slave they get away with this crap.
It's called the OPEN act. and they are in the initial stages. It's exactly as you describe. but nobody is paying attention to it, exactly as they have it planned.

AMEN! I abandoned the corporations for small business. we are encouraged to take our vacation, and at the end of the year we are allowed to take sick days as vacation. I burned 4 sick days for the day before and after Thanksgiving and Christmas as did everyone else in the company.
I also am allowed to shift my work day to 7:30-4:30 so that I have a zero traffic commute, etc...
I strongly suggest to corperate slaves to start looking to the smaller companies where the owners are honest men and treat people with respect.
Life is too short to waste it working for an asshole.
Says the man that knows NOTHING about car electronics.
CANBUS is a series of messages. you cant send "start the car" into bluetooth and have it seen on the CANBUS as a valid message as it will be wrapped in a "audio system" preamble and container.
come back when you have a clue as to what you are talking about.
Just helped a friend with his 2010 Vette 2 months ago, dingy thingy replacements are available at scosche for less than $25.00 so all your chimes are retained. Steering wheel controls are also easily adapted with a $79.00 box.
speaker upgrades are worthless as the Vette with premium sound that has the amps on the backs of the speakers sound better than any of the aftermarket stuff, speaker placement in the vette is crap anyways, $300 each drivers will not sound any better in that car, but it's easy to do with adapter plates from..... Scosche, that place again.
as for a "real amp" almost nobody puts in a 10,000 watt Rockford Phosgate anymore. replace the head unit with the new kenwood stanav one, hooked into the existing wiring for the speakers and simply removed the speakers and disconnected the "premium sound" amps.
All done. Anyone that has done car stereos in the past 2 years knows this, you dont have to " replace the entire system" not by a long shot.
It's on the bus to listen for vehicle speed so the active volume can go up and down. Advanced one spit out channel and RDS data for the HUD. there is zero possibility to send out a "lock up the breaks" command from the car stereo into the CANBUS unless you rewrite the stereo's firmware first. and that is not gonna happen, There are a LOT of guys looking to hack GM and Ford satnav systems to get past the damn CANBUS VIN lock. They have had ZERO success in the past 5 years.
Dont worry about a thief stealing the car by using the CD player. All of these articles are pure FUD. they cant do a "Shadowrun" style unlock and start from standing outside the car and using their Uber haxor toolkit.
You mean dont expect to buy a PRE MADE READY TO GO one anytime soon.
I built my 5th one last week and have another on the way.
starter Cost to build? $99.00 shipped for a used Stylistic ST5011d off of ebay with better specs than the ipad 1. Ubuntu installs nicely with small tweaks. Make it screaming fast by dropping in a 32 or 64 gig SSD drive instead of a spinning drive.
Total cost with new SSD, upgrade ram to 2 gig, and a new battery? $329.95 Oh and it kicks the crud out of any android tablet... Except most linux apps are NOT written for tablet use. so there are almost ZERO apps that have a smooth operation.
But it's a Ubuntu tablet, in my hands right now. and you can have one too!
You can have one now if you have the education to spend 3 hours putting one together.

That's just the republican lip balm.

the Alternative is pass nothing at all.
There are plenty of laws already on the books to deal with this.
Are you insane? pay attention to the road? Next you will suggest I drive in a safe and courteous manner.
How un-american of you!
You want us to document our code? then GIVE US TIME TO DO SO.
Documentation takes time, I cant do it magically.
Next time? they are already crafting SOPA-II

Where it exists.
I.E. burn it in a trash can.
I just hope all the fervor over SOPA is translated to every time this thing morphs. as SOPA is already being rewritten and name changed.
The scumbags in Congress will not stop until they do the bidding of their masters.
Someone making promises that are fake but will reinforce uneducated PHB's
"Why should we pay you more? anyone can become a expert coder by studying at home part time for a year."
and you dont live in a state that has a labor board to not only fine them but require they pay you for your dismissal?
right to work states suck, find a state that does not let companies screw employees.
"But that was just for starters, we also did away with sick time. None."
Comcast tried that. I made sure I came in sick as hell. Pleauge sick. and held back the puke as long as possible.
I then ran to the executives office to ask him a question and puked all over his desk, papers, laptop.
Spread the love, puke on the bastards.

no it's not.
there is ZERO connection from the BT to the car's operational CANBUS.
They already own the car.

Strange, I just grabbed one for $99.00 used on ebay with shipping. Fujitsu ST5011D get a faster one for under $300.00
Let me guess, you dont use "icky" used items.
" X has way too much overhead and features for low-power mobile devices. "
I think you are confusing X with windows.
X is very light and runs on a LOT of low power embedded hardware. Do you know what X windows is? Because that is what "X" is typically referring to.
Actually desktop type apps on a tablet SUCK. Honestly if you think you want MS office on a tablet using a screen keyboard you are plain old nuts.
Netbook for "desktop type apps" touch designed apps for tablets.
And yes I know what I am talking about, I have used tablets for over a decade since the first Dauphin DTR-1 came out. Tablets are NOT NEW.

Most people? really?
Or are you talking just you.
Because "Most people" if they want netflix, they dont watch it on a tablet. They watch it on their TV.
Have you ever written an app for Android?
I have, that platform utterly SUCKS to program for.
"or you could write your own" is the same as, "or you can build your own car from scratch"...
Then buy one now.
Install Ubuntu on a Fujitsu stylistic and get something that has far more power than any of these toys.
