Heh, don't forget the ubiquitous "provide technical documentation and training for employees" and the ever present, be on call 24/7 and carry a mobile device for email 24/7.
Add in the ever present "additional responsibilities as required" and you got me right there.
Seems that everyone wants a "Jack of all Trades, Expert at all as well" now, willing to work long, hard hours for 35K per year.
Problem is that with globalization, its easier to get a foreign worker to come here, live sparingly, alone, so that they can keep the money to send home, and work for the 34K they want to pay instead of an american worker that needs 60K-90K to support a family in this country. 34K for a family of 4 won't cut it in any metropolitan area.
What do you mean "not pay enough"? Why just browsing the personals I see at least 10 ads that all read the same...

Why........ I don't see why they don't have applicants lined up around the block for a sweet position like that.
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18
I use this alot lately. Get the RFID for ID or you can't shop or buy... etc... It's coming closer.
Not to worry. This would be technically impossible to enforce. I think we all know that. It is just 5 minutes work to get a new email on any number of sites that aren't manic to get your phone number as verification. Yahoo for example.
Surprisingly, it will probably be easier to hack a future TV appliance than to actually have multiple vendors agree on a common protocol to share media.
I'm still waiting for DLNA to support more than the 3-4 codec formats with which it works.
Schools aren't in the business of education.... they are now in the business of providing beneficial statistics so the councilmen and politicians who supply the funds can get re-elected when they tout the "under my watch, FCAT scores went up by 1.3%"
So, 3 'flavors' of windows..... but with all the 'extra' little add-ons that need to be purchased/download/applied.
Sounds like Windows ala carte.
This type of nickel and dime bullcrap really gets under my skin and makes it so much harder for anyone in corp to track licensing issues and the like. And don't give me any of that bullcrap how running some in house licensing server makes things better because I'll be forced to tell you what a fuckin you are whn you scroll through a list of 28 different versions of the same app in the licensing report.
Even in Florida, FPL has replaced the old meters with Smart meters.
FPL went with the Silversprings solution that uses inline power communication. Each meter sends your hourly usage signal to the pole top router. The Pole top router uses radio mesh to communicate back to the major neighborhood hubs.
All you need to do to hack these things is to find the frequency the comm units use to communicate to the pole-top routers Then build a small device to inject that frequency into the line. You would essentially block the signal and the power voltage would not change. So, turn off a vast majority of devices, activate the device, then use all the power you want. Turn off all devices, then unplug the device. You can run this over the power line from inside the home, so you aren't meter-tampering.
All I would need is the frequency the products use.
What we need is a system just like the one in place to watch the credit agencies.
There must be a way for the common man to check what information these collectors have. Verify it is accurate. Flag items for removal. Allow free checks every year. Etc.
Right now, companies like lexis/nexis will send you a copy of your file, but to get it you need to send ID, SS#, and other proofs through normal mail. You can't fedex or overnight, can't get a signature, etc.... There is no online option for this either. There is no way I'm sending out my entire identity with photocopies of all my docs in normal mail. That's just asking to ask your identity stolen.
This must be done online in a secure fashion, just like the credit checks.
I called this many months ago when those caps went in.
This is simply a move to squash other online video providers. Those provider's streams count against your monthly cap, but comcast's video/tv services do not. That is an unfair market advantage IMHO.
It gets information on you. How else do you think Google makes its money.
It knows who you are. Google Pay = your credit cards Google voice = Your phone numbers, all who call you and all you call. GMail = all your mail is indexed and attachments scanned Apps = All your docs and data contacts = huge DB that is easily crossed referenced android phone = gps location, data usage, etc..
Just add all that to the searches, calendar items, name it.
It's a 1 stop shop for all things info about you. The more info they have, the more valuable it becomes.
All they need is a google connected toilet and refrigerator to complete the picture
I never said it was apple alone. Alot of manufacturers want to 'lock-in' customers to only use the manufacturer for service.
Hell, even something I would consider simple car maintenance now requires a trip to a garage. My hyundai Entourage needed a new battery. The clip holding the battery in place required a special tool to unfasten it from under the engine..... A simple battery that should cost $75 and a little time ended up being a tow and $175 dollars.
And let me just say.... JeeeeeZuuus... get off your Apple fanboy defense wagon. Apple makes their products incredibly difficult to service on purpose. Period. Even if other companies do the same.... they all SUCK because of it.
Exactly. Human settlements need easy access to water. This is why the first cities were founded near rivers (ala the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley). This should be very obvious to all. And even if it wasn't, I think we had this covered in 3rd grade.

Don't feed the troll. And, for the record, I have met and worked with many talented African American programmers.
The color of one's skin is not a measure of the quality of the checked-n code.

Didn't you see the Island of Dr Moreau? Jackal Man ripped right into his arm and ripped out the chip....

Or they could just legalize Marijuana and tax it, thus avoiding this huge expense and tracking effort.
The VP can break a tie in the Senate. That's about it.
John Adams called it the most useless position ever created by man.... (or something like that).
Try researching the "Mars explorer".
marS EXplorer.... lol
They promise not to use patents for evil.... until they need to use patents for evil.

Avast for Android.
A/V, malware scanning, limited firewall, and theft protections.....
I use it on every device.
Back to forcing the 'cloud' on us all huh? PC Free = keep everything in our cloud... trust us.
Not for me. I still have my original ipod from years ago. Know what... it still plays music which is all I want

I wouldn't wish a VAIO upon my worst enemy.
I spent more time de-crapifying VAIOs than actually prepping them for the end-user.
C'mon Sony, You're not trying hard enough. If you alienate a whole other group of your users, you can slash 20,000 jobs.....
Treat your customers like criminals that need to be controlled and this is what you get.
Free Market is a bitch, ain't it.
IF the meters have an active ZigBee chip, you could potentially use that to measure in home power.
