Treat it as if they wrote it themselves, which means fraud, falsifying documents, lying under oath.. etc.

Is it illegal if you are salaried? Or how about if you have to take a dump? Or if I think about a problem while eating dinner?

Salaried exempt is a fixed amount of pay per pay period regardless of the number of hours, so they aren't part of this discussion.
You dont' get extra pay for working more than 40 hours doing the same job as you do during regular hours, And they can't pay you less for working fewer hours one day either.

As a salaried worker.. there is no such thing as "clock in" / "clock out time", so it's an unrelated matter. If your employer reduces your pay for a difference in hours less than not working a whole day, then they lose the Overtime exemption.

Clocking out to use the toilet, sip coffee, answer the phone for non-work items, patting the dog's head.

They cannot. Many retail employers would do this with their minimum wage staff if the law allowed it.
This is also Illegal. Federal law prohibits deducting pay for breaks under 20 minutes; even if the employee was persuaded to agree.
Federal law states that breaks less than 20 minutes must be paid. The break has to exceed 20 minutes before the employer may clock you out.

Employers are required to pay for all time spent on breaks less than 20 minutes. The only thing they can do is track or limit your number and duration of breaks.

Employers: Cannot require clocking out for short breaks: It is illegal to dock pay for breaks under 20 minutes

Employers: Cannot impose unreasonable restrictions. That includes things such as not letting employees use the bathroom, or forcing them to take 20 minutes... locking bathroom doors and actions that cause delays, etc. Must allow restroom use as needed per OSHA rules / ADA rules in some situations. An employer cannot require bathroom breaks to be at scheduled times, either.

Melodramatically complaining about a 0.1ms

You have to know it takes much longer than 0.1ms to receive the SMS text messages containing a token.

Anyway it doesn't matter if it's 0.1ms or 8 hours. Wages are required to include all time spent on work-related activities required by the employer,
and rounding of times can only be performed when the system is both reasonable and does not consistently disfavor the employee.

Consistently shaving off a second of an employee's compensated time per day from when they are working is still an unlawful thing worthy of liquidated damages, and it will add up to numbers given enough days.

if you knew the terms for which you're being paid why did you stick to the job longer than say 4 to 8
Because you need money for you or your family to survive, possibly. And it may take you MUCH longer than 8 weeks to successfully obtain a replacement role that is any better.

It doesn't matter.. It is illegal for the employer. Not the part about waiting for Windows to boot, but failure to start the work clock including the time when the employee's duties start -- which includes all time taken for all necessary preparations required by the employer (including time for security checks, boot, etc), even though it is before they can start taking calls or working on their assigned tasks.

They're not talking about the type of "forest clearing" here that constitutes cleaning up dry brush and dead leaves and trees and other kindling from the forest floor, they're talking about the literal removal of vast swaths of forest entirely.

Or you could have just one bank nationalized and let the rest compete against that as a baseline

You forgot naked and afraid, hot grits, etc.

Shut up you ignorant fuckwit.

Not only that, there's also Epic and GOG, which are actually direct competitors, they're just not as wildly popular as Steam. Probably this is because they haven't been around as long.

There's been literally dozens if not hundreds of official reports of [people complaining about being raped by aliens], including my own, and thus far humanity as a whole has done fuck-all about it other than call us all crazy. Your assertion seems quite flawed, though I commend your faith in your fellow species.

My guess is they're using heuristics on the actual browsing behavior to generate advertising metrics for sell to advertisers/vendors/affiliates or something like that, and the bots throw off the accuracy of the metrics and that discovery by a 3rd party they've got a contract with has just lost them a bunch of money behind the scenes.

This is a blatant lie. What the fuck is wrong with you lately? AMD and ATI before them have typically supported hardware for way longer than Nvidia ever has.

No, they will not sue a bunch of Slashdotters for posting graffiti. What they will probably do is sue a megacorp using their IP to drive traffic to its own product.

Grow a sack you fuckwit.
