Comment a few suggestions (Score 2) 114

1 have a Quick Setup page with the most common settings all in one shot
2 Don't have "mystery magic" type settings (hint have a WIFI ON button not spread the ON function across 3 different settings that seem unrelated)
3 have a CLI "rail" so that CLI monkeys can bash the keys when they want to (but have something in the manual where it says
" to enable the SpeedConfig (TM) rail input %^73gH and the products serial number as your first command [this will be a permanent setting]")
4 put how to get to the admin console on a sticker on the item
5 do not assume that the person is using a laptop with 1024X768 res (hint there are things called netbooks running about and you also have smartphones)

what they need to do is hire SALES SUPPORT folks (aka non-com folks that are paid to know PARTS).

I know for a fact that a Million+ store can get a 30% boost in sales just by having a skilled Sales Support guy.

(oh and btw im halfway through a CET cert and have a decent background in AC/DC electronics Semi kicked me in the nodes but...)

In some of this stuff you want to be able to tell a youngling "Rush This You Should Not, Hard You should study or risk Magic Smoke"

One thing that would help is to strictly define Child Porn so that fathers/mothers/guardians of children can take pictures of Stuff without getting tagged for CP.

a suggestion a given image is to be considered Child Porn if

1 it has no clinical ,artistic or historical value
OR
2 the subject of the picture is completely Nude (to include pics with trivial clothing and exclude bathing pictures)

AND/OR One or more of
1 The subject is engaging in sexual activity or being used as a prop/toy for sexual activity
2 The subject is being otherwise abused

add the clause that Created or Fictional Children are also covered in the same way and things should be set correctly

(i do find it odd that the main Anti-CP rep seems to like "Candi" himself)

The big problem is the TIME needed to switch Command Units given say 30 "bots"
you have to
1 time out on the current commander (lets say several seconds)
2 somehow given 29 "bots" sort out who will be the best new Commander
3 setup the needed links

all of this while doing what the Flock is supposed to be doing

i could see a guy with a shotgun downing the Command Unit(s) faster than they can switch over.

(of course i can also see the bots deciding at about CU #14 to "frack this Mission is FUBAR RTB now!")

Comment its RadioShack btw (Score 1) 122

yes speaking as one of the Sales Support folks that Corporate decided was "not needed" yes the service is middling to Ghastly.
(hint for the SMs if somebody comes in and tells you they need 3 640-2373 a 640-2184 any Salesmaker on the floor had better come up with a few things in the 27? series to suggestive sell BEFORE you even breath anything about cell phones)

the Name of the Store has been RadioShack for over a decade.

and the guy that greenlit this should be shot out of a cannon at the nearest Unemployment center.

I am certain that any notice that mentions that GEMA has requested the vid be blocked will not be allowed.

Googles response should be to block any vids (in Germany) that contain any GEMA licensed music (even official channels) with the notice

"This video has been removed due to containing Music Licensed by GEMA"

1 on another computer download unpack and run WSUSOffline and build an update package
2 also visit ninite.com and grab a install loader for your "fun" programs (like firefox libreoffice and such)
3 do the initial setup on your computer and get to the desktop
4 run the WSUSOffline updater
5 run the ninite.com install loader
6 Profit!!
