  1. Re:this is a very straightforward problem ... on Using Employee-Owned Technology in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Just as my employer allows me to prove my ability to be on-time everyday by allowing me to leave, as opposed to requiring me to live on site ... they *will* allow me to prove that I can be responsible enough to accept only calls that are of a serious nature. For those that abuse this, they should be restricted.

    On the other hand, if my employer can explain why a cellular phone interferes with some equipment or creates a hazzard, then I would be more than willing to cooperate.

    Regardless, my phone remains in my pocket, on and on vibrate for those emergency situations. Fortunately my employer doesn't impose this, but should they begin, I'll be sure to thank them for their trust.

  2. Re:this is a very straightforward problem ... on Using Employee-Owned Technology in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Bottom line, I have twin babys at home ... if my wife, who stays home with them, needs me in a hurry ... she will get me on my cell phone which I carry 100% of the time, and it hasn't been turned off in years.

    If my employer wants to restrict it's usage ... then I demand, yes DEMAND 100% coverage on a communication channel that I can be reached at a moments notice ... something I'm sure they can't provide.

    Ok, you say they have a right to restrict it's use ... I have a right to care for my family ... and change jobs. If they truly value my quality and dedication to my work they'll understand. Otherwise they'll also understand my lack of loyalty when I leave ...

  3. One click patent applications on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    A method which, through use of specially constructed hyperlinks and client side scripting, allow the application for patent to be automatically generated and submitted to the US patent office. The ensuing patent information would be created of semi-random unreasonable and hysterically obvious statements refering to a rediculously common concept including the usage of verbs, nouns, adjectives and various public domain components of the english language. This new patent application would reduce the need for new ideas and recycle old non-original ideas thus not consuming brainpower. Although the concept of stupid patent applications has seen prior usage, this method for one click application for random non-original ideas is state of the art and it's innovation will serve to better humanity.
