  11. Re:Openness Bulshitness on Google's Nexus 4, 7, 10 Strategy: Openness At All Costs · · Score: 1

    What other options are more sinister? Obviously iOS is a closed system, but Windows Phone 8 has yet to be tested security-wise. We also have Firefox OS on the horizon as well as hopefully a resurgence of Meego

  12. Re:Openness on Google's Nexus 4, 7, 10 Strategy: Openness At All Costs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I presume "open" refers to the software stack, not the hardware.

  13. Re:Precedent on UK ISPs Asked To Block More File-sharing Websites · · Score: 2

    see, the RIAA/MPAA will just assume if you are boycotting them, that you are indeed pirating more, since this clearly why they lose revenue.

    Have you seen how street view works? Obviously not, AC. It uses a camera OUTSIDE of the car to take pictures of the entire range in view of the camera, including the sky. Your plan makes for terrible pictures through people dirty windshields.

  22. Re:Unionize on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Until the United States passes union laws, this will just result in the entire workforce being laid off and non - union talent being hired. There are plenty of people who want a job.

  23. Re:Unionize on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unions will results in layoffs. Corporations will not just accept lower profits because their labor unionizes, they will layoff (Or go to India or the Philippines) until the costs are back in line to where they were.

  24. Honestly? on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Get another job. You are just being treated like cattle and there is NOTHING you can do. If you were to sue, they will find some reason to fire you. If you were to Unionize, there would be massive layoffs. In my company, I don't clock in, I don't clock out, I can work 5 hours per week overtime without approval. And I work for a fortune 300 company who you think would be soulless. I see how our CSRs are treated, and it is a damn sight better than anywhere else. And we have metrics in the upper 90% range for hold times (Less than 90 seconds) and call backs. Customer first will always make you profitable.
