An employer does not have to give you a reason for not hiring you, although they cannot deny you based solely on your race, religion, age, gender, and some other protected classes. That said, most employers write down plenty of negative stuff about you during your interview, and very little positive stuff, even if they really like you. If it goes to court, they can say "hey, here are our notes. You can plainly see this candidate was not that impressive."
How are they forcing you to carry a data plan? Did you or did you not voluntarily purchase an iPhone and agree to the terms and conditions of the contract?
They've been doing this ever since I can remember. If you buy certain phones, you can get the "unlimited" MediaNet for $15/mo... If you have a PDA-type Phone, they make you buy a more expensive plan that, last I checked, did not have an unlimited option.
So, are you saying that, as a non-technical manager or administrator, you'll have to work more and be on call, compared to the technical people who work their 4/40 and are off the rest of the time?
Why would the managers be on call all the time and the tech people not? That seems backwards to me, or maybe I just misunderstood...
Either way, take a hike and find a better job. Companies are still hiring - but they're only hiring people who can earn their keep (i.e. you bring in more money than you cost). If you are a good leader, you will be able to sell yourself on that.
Take it from someone in IT services... the moment we touch a client's PC for anything - whatever happens to it thereafter is magically "our fault" and we are expected to fix it for free.
We recently did a laptop upgrade to Win7 and a SSD... the user tried to change the memory themselves... while the computer was on.... corrupted the SSD, requiring a complete rebuild. Of course, this just *had* to be something we did...
They did not like getting that bill...
To the OP - you do NOT want to work in desktop support as someone going for CS. There is nothing you can do as an intern in desktop support that will further your educational career in CS. It's a waste of your time, especially for $8/hr. You'd be better off trying to get an assistant manager job at a fast food joint to build leadership and management skills for $12/hr.
Profiling is making the decision to select for screening based upon physical characteristics of the traveler, such as the color of their skin, or their dress.
This simply requires that all persons holding travel documents from certain countries be screened. There's nothing to do with race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or any of that crap.
That may apply to the movie, but any public performance of the song, "Happy Birthday," where a substantial number of persons outside the normal family circle are present, and without obtaining a proper license from ASCAP, is strictly punishable as an act of Copyright Infringement by fines and/or imprisonment.
Maybe she shouldn't get jail time for fiming a snippet of the movie, but they all deserve to go to jail for singing Happy Birthday in a public place without a license. The Law is the Law, and that's all there is to it.

I'll give you that... that's probably the reason our refresh cycles come in the fourth quarter of the year, and they are all done at once. Staggered? Hah... we all get new computers at the same time, which is crushing to productivity, but it means they can hire temps to support the transition instead of having someone in-house all the time managing a staggered transition...
I have subbed part time before, and as someone with a Masters in an engineering discipline, students often found that I had better grasp of the material than their normal science and math teachers did. It got to the point that the full time teachers would do anything to stab me in the back.
Teachers in the US are just another thuggish arm of big labor whose sole purpose is to lock qualified people out of education to help maintain the "victim" status and to keep that federal and state money pouring in.
Okay, say I see you walking through an airport terminal with a laptop. Having no other evidence, what do I have that rises to the level of Probable Cause to obtain a warrant to confiscate your laptop and search it?
1) Carry laptop with cellular modem in car 2) Stop off at liquor store and knock it over 3) Remote Desktop to home machine from car and update Facebook 4) ??? 5) Acquittal!
This is precisely why I just have a basic cell phone that makes phone calls. I'm not going to spend $50-100/mo for the privilege of using my computer away from home. I am not so addicted to the Internet that I'm going to incur that expense. At most, it'll cost me a couple of bucks to call information and find out where the nearest public library is if I really have to get online that badly.
The bank doesn't have the keys to every single deposit box. Most deposit boxes have two locks. The bank only has the key to one of them. The customer has the key to the other.
A 210 and a 172 are very different animals. A 172 has a useful load of about 900lbs, and with 300lbs of fuel and 100lbs of equipment, you're talking about four starving anorexic slashdotters.
You're comparing a 6-seat high performance aircraft to a dinky little 4-seat trainer. That's not really a fair comparison.
Do you have a commercial rating? I imagine since there's $40K at stake, you'd have to have a commercial despite taking careful steps to make sure you pay your pro-rata share of the costs.
We've installed Windows 7 on over 50 PCs and have not seen any major issues with it. This is not like the Windows release of yesteryear.
We have all kinds of software and hardware running and it all works. It just works. I never thought I would say that about a Microsoft OS, but everything JUST WORKS.
I have yet to have to manually download a driver or put a CD in the drive to get a piece of hardware working - after ~50 PCs.
Exactly right. This is a design flaw, not some imagined inherent inability for computers to do math. The engineers designed in the error, plain and simple.

Most large corporations have 3-year PC replacement cycle, and get pissed when the new thing is the same as the old thing except for the hardware.

There is always reflection when light hits a boundary in the medium.
Three things always happen at such an interface: Absorption, Transmission, and Scattering (fancy name for reflection).
More like hacking and slashing at limbs...

Of course, half of the software they tested is not anti-Malware software (Avast, for example, is an AV, not an Anti-Malware).
They also did not test MalwareBytes, probably because it would make all of the others look bad.
Why isn't the outdoor "machinery" protected from debris ingress???
It was cool to check out the temp and pressure in the various sectors, but they are cleverly obscuring the data from Sector 7-G. I wonder why...
A machine without AV is vulnerable to viruses!
