It's not buying a new phone that is the business model.
1.) The device is stolen 2.) New device obtained. (some $$) 3.) Old device is activated by someone new (recurring new $$. Here is the money for the carrier)
Now, many many years ago, I was a cellular switching site manager (before we had the giant carrier we have now). When I learn how cellular worked, it was explicitly state the the devices had a thing called an ESN (electronic Serial Number). This was for activating the device AND stolen devices were SUPPOSED to go into a shared database that would be checked to assure stolen devices were not activated. The marketing manager was livid that such a thing could exist. Needless to say it's pretty obvious today how that worked out. There is no shared database of stolen devices in the US (North America?). There is in Europe.
1.) Keep people on campus/in the building... Close to their desks and working. 2.) Create an illusion of privilege
I've seen WAY too many people take lower pay for the "prestige" of being called senior blah or director or manager... And the work performed is the same. so maybe the ordering of the above is incorrect.
Everyone always says "Read the fine article". There is no fine article to read this time... Just an assertion. I am disturbed by my lack of faith in the poster.:(
I'd think actually the number collection is so that the next time you go in, they can put your phone number in and ID you... "Do you have a discount card? Do you have it with you?? No, can I get your phone number? There you are!"
Most small shops don't (yet) have the smarts/connections to sell customer data. But the potential IS there, yes.
Certificates are gilding the lily. And if you haven't skills, I don't care what certs you have. It's the skills and interest enough to pursue the skills that attract me as a hiring manager. I'm sick of spoon feeding new hires only to have them decide "this isn't really what I want to do".
ATT and the old bell system made the argument that phones they didn't make (and rent/lease to subscribers) would harm the network. It took the carterphone decision to make THAT lie go away
Hobbit/XYMON started life as an add on to big brother and grew into a full fledged monitor of it's own. Both use rrdtool for graphing. Both have a ton of plug-ins/add-ons

My question is how DO you install a modern KDE on RHEL/Centos?
OpenSuse has become quite insane and I'm bailing out.

'nuff said
But when I travel, I'm "supposed" to be doing something different from working. It sounds like you just want to be a mobile worker. What a waste
By and large they have twin motives
1.) Keep people on campus/in the building... Close to their desks and working.
2.) Create an illusion of privilege

If you have physical access, you can do bad things. Is this really news or simply fear mongering?
Most excellent! Thank you for your very kind assistance.
Who cares? All they have is a deb package and there will never, ever be a deb package loaded on my systems

I dunno... a large pack of teenage girls could maybe construed as dangerous animals
something that is by invitation only can be a release.
In the mean time, I'll keep playing with Kiwi even if it does re-boot my system when I try to make a USB version
