My last job I spent maybe 30 minutes out of a 10 hour shift doing "actual work". At first it was great, but eventually (even with Primewire lol) ran out of "stuff to do", and I couldn't leave the building. There probably isn't a zombie movie made in the past 15 yeas I haven't seen LOL. When the workforce reduction finally came around, in a way I was relieved because this means a severance package, good references, and some time to just chill out before going back into the grind.Unless the pay is pretty high, I won't be jumping on the next "eyes on glass" NOC job I see come along haha
There WAS enough money, but most of it has been transferred to.01 of the US population, and they have transferred it into various financial vehicles were it will never get "back" into the actual economy.
Modern Consumerism is an invention of Edward Bernays, the cousin of Sigmund Freud. Go watch "Century of the Self"; it also details the Clinton "focus group" idea, how advertisers convinced women to smoke, the invention of modern PR and marketing...which has basically a weapon of mass destruction for corps to "convince" everyone to keep buying products via a whole slew of psychological tricks.
I actually tried posting something just like that, but Forbes just said "Please reload the page and try posting again." I just checked the article again, and my post has been removed. Seems like Lewis DVorkin (the author) is getting some serious feedback from many other readers already...so even though I've been "censored" I think he's getting the message anyway.
It said a prereq is the real Adblock Plus, do you have that installed too? After the install, Forbes did have issues with me posting a comment; and the "anti adblock" plugin is " preliminarily reviewed" and is probably buggy. I'd guess this kind of plugin is a constant "arms race" with the malware / ad spammers and is never completely stable lol.
Thanks for the tip! Installed the "Disable Anti-Adblock", made sure Forbes was not in my allowed list, and now can see their site. Left a response about them serving up malware, that "Forbes right to profit is not greater than my right to protection."
So I'm waiting for his comments to mine..."Forbes has ZERO right to complain about this! They've already been shown very recently to have advertisers that are serving up malware using pop-unders. So if Forbes can't get their act together and actually do proper due diligence, their response is instead "turn off your protection"? Pretty lame, and this policy is actually really poor for a "business magazine" to do. Luckily there are plugins for stopping the adblock checks...Forbes "right to profit" is not greater than my need to protect myself.".
When I was at AT&T, I found out that my ADD fell under the Americans with Disabilities Act; the union there helped me force them to give me a few "reasonable accommodations" and stopped them from flat-out firing me for about a month. What eventually tripped me up was their "disability insurance company" called Sedwick who kept "loosing" various paperwork my doctor faxed in...eventually I "pointed out" for being late because Sedwick lost my paperwork so many times my doctor refused to fax it in again (after at least 5 times). The union said that, under the ADA, I most likely could win a lawsuit even though Oklahoma is a "right to work state" but I already had a job lined up at IBM. I had JUST started taking my meds while at AT since then I have gotten the whole "being late" under control and it rarely happens any more; I really wasn't abusing the policy but actually working really hard to get many ADD-related issues under control.
" a contract with a previous employer that threatened to sack me if I called in ill with a stress or mental related condition" Wow, that, to me at least, just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. For me, my "mental condition" is ADD; so it's far more likely that I would forget to call in at all lol.
But the modern CEO very rarely stays at any company long enough to feel those effects. They come in, cut and slash, make their bonus...and their off to ruin the next company. Of course I might just be biased; I was recently "work force reduced" at HPE lol...but I got a severance package, so this time I didn't mind as much hahaha.
I've had the union at AT&T save my butt when I worked there, so I too am an advocate of most union activities. They should be transparent with what happens with the dues of course...but without unions we'd all be working 90+ hours a week, renting a bunk in the "Company boarding house", and buying food with "company script" from the "company store" too.
I never said they are socialism. I said they are a form of socialistic governance. I'm guessing you didn't even read the link; it's from the UK in 1936; and they flat-out echo my statement...so the people who originally pushed for unions did in fact say they are socialist. There's nothing wrong with that; I think your confusing socialism with communism. Unions do indeed advocate community control; it's just that their "community" is only the workers and the "control" is over the working conditions of said community.
This cracks me up, since the unemployment claims website says "This site is compatible with the Internet Explorer browser versions 5-9 only". Makes me wonder what they are running under the hood, and just how vulnerable the system is. Netcraft says IIS 6.0 on win2k3.
It has to be a combination of the OS and specific apps that these people have. Time magazine says 8.3 % of a total 75 million phones so that's still over 622,500 4S's worldwide. If this really was a significant issue there would be far more people in this suit. So it can't JUST be the OS, there must be some apps that are auto-upgrading too that are killing these devices.
My S3 is having issues with the USB port, but after rooting it and removing all the bloatware, Facebook, etc it runs fine still. The Facebook app is probably one of the worst for battery life...plus that apps unstoppable voip calls are far too intrusive.
Too bad that chart isn't actual useful for anything but FUD. I guess it would be too difficult to actually put the OS version numbers on it...since the Andriod OS doesn't have a name like "April 2013". Yet one can see that April must be the release month for new OS releases. Most interesting line in that article: The study emphasizes that "the main update bottleneck lies with manufacturers rather than Google, operators, or users."
"Fixing the "cause" of people trolling" is something far beyond any person or organization, Wikipedia notwithstanding. It's a part of the human condition,it's just far more noticeable now since we have the Internet and access to various articles that people can easily troll on. But this activity has been going on since humans devolved writing...

The ACA has "full time" pegged at 30+ hours actually. The 36 hour cut-off is changing this year, at least as far as healthcare is concerned.

These Numbers lol.

My American Dream is fridges with "family" in them that I can watch on the TV on the outside of the fridge.
Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Or you could just stick the blacklist in your firewall...Squidguard+PFSense works rather well!

You'd think the "game programmers" would be ripe for unionization; I guess they just must love those super-long days when crunch time comes.

And then launch said cement case straight into the Sun.
SCCM is your friend for those situations lol
