Having done F&B in Oz I can tell you the pay is OK. As far as the boss don't pay us so let social obligation take over is a piss-weak argument. I tip because I want to, when I want to, to whom I want to. I tip as a sign of respect from someone who has done their job and is greatful for their work.
No one should be obligated to do what they think is right. (psst not just tipping)
Who cares? Laws are upheld by people with guns, not by people doing the *right* thing because it is implied by law. If you respect IP law (or fear it) then you are controlled by virtual concepts - ideas controlling ideas. If you subscribe to this then what can (know how to) you do when they HUNT you down?
If you have read anything you find an elegant (or otherwise) expression then feel free to use it as you see fit - to aid all or yourself, any language is to be spoken (compiled, heard, etc).
Maybe if we stopped fearing concepts we could give the real world a better try.
Yes the patch was out for a while before the worm.
Full marks kiddo!
I as an admin don't troll MS's site for help and found out about it throught my ISP. For all the $$ my business pays MS it would have been nice to hear them WARN "there is a hole in your boat" before *nice* people like you pointed out that "Island Redmond has a new cork".
Perhaps when we both are lucky enough to have neural feed to the MS Intranet then we would be as happy as all the clear minded, joyful folk who have that luxury vie their desktops these days.
Re: "..I've never understood the "over qualified" position..."
Over qualified means that in the experience of the recruiter (internal or external) that the candidate would outgrow the position before it them. This adds to the cost of the re-hiring to the company and increases career frustration to the candidate. Worse still you have a mutual dis-satisfaction of the employee and employer and the subsequent drain on the entire team.
Best bet is to offer the right advice and say to the candidate that they are over qualified, it is a sign of respect not a brush off.
Re: "...or in which you'll have some type of control/supervision.."
If you have experience in supervision then you are qualified for it, knowledge is not all it takes.
When hiring a team I need real skills and knowledge, but the supervision role I would retain because I am less likley to be bogged down by detail and can focus on the vision - leaving the people with the real skills to do the stuff they do best. Teamwork - it really does take all types.
Don't give unnecessary tasks to those who would perform better without them. And my best advice is that experince wins over knowledge, for example one you can get from Google in seconds but the other does in fact take years of graft.
People seem to be equally in love with the fact that they are being watched as they are fearful of being observed. While many people would like to be completely anonymous when it comes to banks, sports events and local shopping malls, there are probably many people who would be offended when they went to their local shop and the owner DIDN'T recognise (observe, evaluate, interact/interview) them.
So there is this technology which is being developed to - "replace what humans do naturally" - Hmmmm, like say a washing machine, hairdryer or spreadsheet? Yes - exactly like. So OK this one is big and brainy - but nowhere near the brain power of the guy who always remembers you at the corner shop.
To respond to the parent post - this process happens more regularly in a professional environment than any where else - because it should. Managers should have an active interest in their subordinates - this includes such things as skills (and skills development), attitude, energy level, morale (including emotional state) and physical well being.
using a computer to replace/assist humans in their daily regimen of tasks is nothing new. The only new bits are how much of the 'answers' are already quantified to assist the computer to produce a 'correct' output from stimuli. Although the guy at the corner store might not realise it, he/she is processing far more data far more rapidly than any computer is using cameras.
Bleeding is still a much used pratice all over the world. - I play Rugby Union, and must admit I find it very closly related to regular bleeding.

"You really should pay more attention to American politics.........this fragment is provided for the amusement of the reader.
The interest people seem to have in rights and law are magnified by their own insecurity. (Not that I am saying dissolve them but..) Why do we think we have rights anyway? They are tools of society and only suited to their frame of reference.
For example we might say "I have the right to visit the beach." whilst meanwhile a quite happy Tiger Shark is thinking "Is that going to be crunchy or chewy???? Oh stuffit you don't know until you try!"
So by now your sitting in a bloody pool, trying to paddle your stumpy body back to land. Of course you would think, "Dam that blasted shark, the nerve of the critter! It doesn't have the right!!"
Rights are the tokens exchanged by individuals and societies to establish the most basic acceptable forms of behaviour. This implies that there is unacceptable forms of behaviour for which you have the right not to be allowed to perform. So while we are running societies by our right to to have the right to apply our rights to any areas where our rights no longer apply when will that which is wrong considered to be right?
As far as any social system is concerned, its 'success' is only possible by people choosing to observe it. This means I'm on CCTV in Weeks St, Mainstone, Kent; I'm seen at the Superbowl; and The Australian Government has my photo - all because I choose to be part of a/the / somebodys system. If you took away peoples apathetic right to be a passive supporter then would be anarchy.
18 is a number and for a short period of time an age most of us get the pleasure to experience. In some countries life expectantcy rates create the need for the culture to develop and breed quicker, hence starting what westerns call 'adult life' earlier. 14 would not be an uncommon age for a female to marry, (may add @ 25 she may be culturally considered as 'over the hill'). The justification that age is the underlying principle between right and wrong is flawed.
I belive that perhaps we should consider people and the way they work first. Given freedom people will often emulate each other. For example if you go to a beach (which you are unfarmiliar with) and see people diving off rocks into the water you will naturally assume it is 'safe' to dive of those rocks.
I see it, other people do it without 'danger', it can be done, I can do it.
People watch the TV and see a Rugby / Footy / soccer, then go out and kick a ball. It is perfectly natural to develop an apathy towards all the effects of the activities which we observe and our subsequent participation.
No I do not want to see the material being discussed because although it represents sexual activity (which is perfectly natural), it is entertainment for adults who by phyisical development are able to use strength to take from a person, (in this case a child), something which they can never give back.

Re-Think: The boxes were taken by a ASIO security check. Nothing else makes sense. Data worthless, hardware worthless, point priceless.
Just like the gun checks Qantas pilots do. Per coastline mile Oz customs are the best in the world.
I (We) get it now.
Hardware = 0
Staging device to crack HW & SW = aquired
Tools do jobs, forget the accounts think of the tool

I have had this device in my mind as a deterrent for crime - A personalised - one use - internet camera.
Bingo - there you have it, the threat of being caught is greatly increased.
I know that this is simplistic and you would need some supporting legislation / services /etc. But any better ideas????
