You can be compensated for a job's requirements without it being as specific as overtime or per-hour. It's one thing if it's sprung on you after you've agreed to a salary,benefits, etc. It's silly to tell me I can't agree to it right off the bat.
While at this particular moment it's a buyer's market as far as labor is concerned (in the US), off-hours responsibility is hardly a "race to the bottom" and, as I pointed out, many jobs don't require it.
Are you in your 20s? To call being available by phone "exploitation" is pathetic.
In a fair world you'd be able to accept more responsibilty in exchange for a set of benefits (salary, etc) you considered fair. I've interviewed for (and been offered and variously accepted) jobs ranging from a 9-to-5 position for a utility company that would be very stable and practically permanent to one at a startup with a small staff that meant only a couple of people were responsible for crucial 24/7 infrastructure. The former paid less but was, again, stable. The latter paid more, with promise of reward should the company succeed (it didn't).
If I'm willing to carry a mobile device outside of business hours, what bureaucrat's business is it to tell me I can't?
"Doing stuff for a friend" is friendly and altruistic when I *choose* to do it. When something's forcibly confiscated from me to be given to a stranger, it's not me "doing stuff", it's not for a "friend" and it's certainly not altruistic. It's also not altruistic to vote for a bill that does that, or to vote for the guy who votes for that bill.
I've used Astaro for years and been very happy with it. It includes many free features (VPN is great) and there are other features you can add for a fee. Sophos purchased it a couple of years ago and still have a very featured free version.
With no such restriction, random choices on both sides lead to 33% win, 33% draw, 33% loss, right? With the opponent throwing Rock 50% of the time, assuming the other 50% is evenly divided between Paper and Scissors, if I always throw paper I'll win 50% of the time, lose 25% of the time, and draw 25% of the time.
So depending how the betting works, I'd be pretty willing.
"Should"? Says who, you? If I want to launch a web site with a map proclaiming that Nova Scotia is now Kevinland, you think I should be forcibly prevented from doing so?
By "private" I didn't mean "secret" or "non-public"; I meant as part of his private life, unrelated to work.
I do not agree with his positions *at all*; I am as pro same-sex marriage as a person can be. BUT It's not illegal to have a dumb position that just about half of the country has - and that doesn't make it "right", but it means it's not outrageous or extreme in today's context. Any employee is of course entitled to say "I don't want to work with you" to their employer - and then if they don't, they should quit.
If you have a local authoritative server, why will you have to give up your local domain? (unless you actually want to access the new rightful owner's network)
"Put your company and employees in a more expensive and crowded place (and *blighted?!* = more dangerous) because I say it's better", says a guy who works for a terribly-run monopoly that depends on people needing to get where he's telling them to build.
He's not suing about fracking specifically, or any would-be-hypocrisy-laden dangers or damages associated with it. He's suing over a water tower and the traffic associated with it. There's a considerable difference.
Right. But if 25 percent of US West coast smog is attributable to pollution from the 20% of Chinese manufacturing that's attributable to US exports... then along with the other 80 percent of Chinese manufacturing pollution (that's attributable to other-than-US-export-products), Chinese pollution alone would make up more than 100% of west coast smog.
If Chinese manufacturing accounts for 17 to 36 percent of China's pollution, and a fifth of *that* is attributable to the manufacturing destined for US export, how can a quarter of west US smog be attributable to the US export pollution? Does the other 80 percent of manufacturing smog know to go elsewhere?
I never said anything about a private practice, and I'm not trying to target socialized medicine, only making the point that you can't equalize everything.
I asked whether a better surgeon could charge more and you said they could, and now you say they don't. Is that genuinely true? Are there not a particular hospital or doctor or surgeon that are considered better, which people seek out?

How is assuming a 4th grader knows that "USA-centric"?

Actually, the *are* recording a lot of phone calls. That's just a different program Snowden released info about - and there have been dozens of them.
And "just metadata" allows them to track your location, see who you speak to, and much more:

You realize you replied to your own post (correctly) pointing out that your original correction was wrong, right? "Jackass", indeed.
Did you read the definition you posted? Thanks for making my point.
It's 'flak'
Based on what?!
"Should"? Says who, you? If I want to launch a web site with a map proclaiming that Nova Scotia is now Kevinland, you think I should be forcibly prevented from doing so?
Hey crazy person,
By "private" I didn't mean "secret" or "non-public"; I meant as part of his private life, unrelated to work.
I do not agree with his positions *at all*; I am as pro same-sex marriage as a person can be. BUT It's not illegal to have a dumb position that just about half of the country has - and that doesn't make it "right", but it means it's not outrageous or extreme in today's context.

So McAvoy is glad he can express feelings without fear of retribution but because of the CEO's private views, *he* should suffer it? What hypocrisy.
This is here .... why?
... but only if you want to access *.shark on the internet, right? I'm not trying to be pedantic, just don't know if I'm missing something.

Not exactly correct. The prosecution has to provide the defense any exculpatory evidence it has.
