Any company stupid enough to drive people away with such a stupid payroll system definitely deserves to go under after leaving behind only the bottom of the barrel worst employees. Anyone with half a brain left to go work somewhere else.
Just wanted to mention that this is only a problem in places where people are complete assholes to each other all the time. You know, New York, California, most of the south, etc. Here in Wisconsin, everyone is quite polite at the theater.
Get ready for the pilot's union to throw a fit and get in the way of progress and efficiency and customer interest with pilotless flights. Hurray for unions!
There are $100 tablets that kick the crap out of an iPad on portability and compatibility and battery life. There are even more $200 ones. The Samsung Tab 2, Avatar's about to be released new tablets, most of the AGPTek ones, some iView models all crush the ipad on useability and features vs price. I can't see why a school district would waste money on such a locked down, overpriced tablet like an iPad.
I have an IT background in programming and another degree in web design and graphics. I have a huge background in computer repair as well. But besides all those three, I usually mention on the resume that I've been shooting video for my church and a local concert venue for over a decade so I know video systems inside and out. I also have done VHC to DVD conversions. Then I also mention I know electrical system pretty well and DMX light control programming and sound systems since my dad is a mobile DJ and I've been to over 500 dances and weddings. Then I mention I used to work at a hospital and have over 40 HIPPA and biohazard certifications. Then I mention that I know custom PC building inside and out too. I've also done wireless reception testing and mapping.
If you haven't noticed the pattern yet, every one of those could save a company the money of hiring an outside contractor. I can program their software then get up and film and edit company videos for the website while erasing computers to HIPPA standards while picking out the proper catering company and table layout for an employee Christmas party. So it's all about usefulness to the company. Unfortunately, most companies don't run aircraft combat missions, lol.
Since they utterly screwed up the silverlight app that they run in IE10 and you now have to watch netflix with Firefox, which is slightly less glitchy, how about they fix that instead? You know, since nobody uses Windows 8 or 8.1 or IE11. Spending a ton of money on a giant project that affects nearly 0% of your userbase is pretty darn stupid.
Or my 7" Avatar Sirius tablet version 1 for $80 with a Mali 400 GPU onboard that can play basically anything and has micro-HDMI out and weighs less and has better battery life and has more carrying case options and can fit standard screen protectors on it.

That sounds far beyond the capabilities of our current technology. How the heck would they do that?
This is why I'm not and never have been on Facebook and don't use a real name elsewhere. How stupid are people? Oh gee, I put something out in the public and now people are looking at it. Seriously? Don't use Facebook.
Here's my idea. Don't take all that time and effort making an electric car drive fast. Take a hot wheels car and launch it out of an electric rail gun at about 10,000MPH and then spend all the time and effort convincing the judges that that counts.
Find someone with private registration services. Record all fields. Put those fields into your website. Then some BS data request or subpoena or whatever would result in the private registration company claiming there is no associated record and some huge argument, none of which results in them getting your data. It's ridiculously insecure and a horrible idea to attach your name to a website. That's just asking for nonstop trouble, spam, scam calls, scam e-mails, domain scams, threats, etc.
I don't even like taking the stairs instead of the elevator in my brother's apartment, lol. So yeah, no gigantic ship towing for me. But yeah, I believe it was in a different boat. Although, rowing once then again and then instead taking a battery-powered solar boat...isn't that like taking the stairs and then being even more daring and taking the elevator? lol.
I have got the mother of all stories for you. I worked at a hospital with about a 30 person IT dept. They were all contracted on an ultra long term contract and had been there for at least 5 years. Then they told them they were not renewing because their ticket times were crap, budget was a nightware, inventory was a catastrophe, etc. They were replacing them with IBM contractors. So the current folks fired their phone staff about 9 months out and outsourced support calls to Mexico:-D Which was hilarious because you could just go visit the IT department on floor one...so they put key card locks on the doors, rofl! The funniest part was they hired a crew from my old contractor (a completely different 4th company from the hospital, them, and IBM) to basically do their jobs for them. So I was an outsider who found it all quite hilarious.
Google created a color tan that very, very easily disappears at any screen with a remotely poor viewing angle. It's a very unique color that web designers specifically know not to use for that exact reason. That's why incredibly stupid people keep clicking on the results or even reading or considering them after doing a google search. They always claim they can't see the box and can't tell the difference.
I repaired computers for 7 years before getting a corporate job. I was the best of the best at it (and still am) yet without SDLC training and actual stories from actual IT workers turned college professors, I'd be doing a very bad job at my current job. I could still easily repair individual computers but the best practices and SDLC rules are everything. So I'm glad I got 2 degrees in IT. No matter how self taught you think you are, you're still not good enough for a corporate job without training.
yeah and China NEVER puts backdoors in all their networking products they sell to the US. I mean I'm sure the US military gets weird American-made equipment on purpose just for the fun of it and to waste money, not for security reasons.
Their search result quality sucks so no, I would say it won't. I still do actually need to find what I'm looking for, which Bing never seems able to do.
It REALLY sucks that companies that clearly knew they were doing something immoral and shady like outsourcing their patent lawsuits to shell companies that are just lawyer pool patent trolls can't be prosecuted retroactively. There should be some sort of penalty that can be applied to them. The only loophole I know is modifying the current year's tax laws to include a massive penalty for sale and repurchase of the same patent for example. That's effectively retroactive.
Oh that's funny. Do they know that the bitcoin network runs itself, independent of any controlling entity? The foundation is a volunteer organization to help promote and develop the use of bitcoins. They don't actually "transmit" or touch anything. It's almost like those idiots in California heard that and then said "umm...well...I dunno umm....threaten...THEM!" and just about picked someone at random.

Who uses faxes anymore? And encrypted faxing? Oooh, so much more secure. How about secure FTP or encrypted e-mail?

They hit the edge of the holodeck or matrix, lol.

No, it's far more advanced than a clamshell design. The screen is actually built into the tablet, as are the touch controls, lol.

I couldn't give less of a crap about the stupid start button. What I want is the start menu. That, they did not add.

Dear IBM,
Everything you sell costs too much.
Sincerely,
Every IT worker ever
I hope that reaches their market research division. Maybe that will help solve that big mystery of why they're doing poorly.
