    Child labor in the low end segment

    The minimum age at play is 18.  It's like that in most civilized countries, including the UK and Australia which have come up on the threads.  Even if you are a high school drop out, the regulations still apply.  Ditto for those in trade schools, colleges, etc. I might not think this system...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    What do you want, an award for being "straight edge"?  Vast majority of people never engage in said behaviors... 100MPH on the highway?  All I can say, is WTF is Lance in Court for like the 12th time for Traffic violations?  Speed much? No, I didn't peek, because Lance is like Casper the...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    I think it's easy to make a case against you exceeding hourly limits per week, not being compensated by law at minimum wage, working during school hours, etc.  You really should keep a lower profile and stay out of the path of heavy traffic. Last time I snooped the corporate documents in...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    That's pretty much everything wrong with the industry: 1. "Work" but they are a contractor (probably 99% without a legal contract) and not legally able to be a contractor and lacking proper permits and adult/guardian who assumes the legal risk. 2. "Working" for free... There is no such notion...

    Datashack yay or nay?

    You should be fine then and know what to expect. At last check, those two companies have quite a bit of overlap in ownership, staff, etc.

    Datashack yay or nay?

    Their network is meh.  Like el cheapo blend dual homed big picture.  Nothing to write home about.  It is the same story probably in every other MCI/Kansas City provider.   Unsure why KC providers are all with the same bandwidth blend.  Even those at other loccations/facilities. Depends on which...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    Child labor isn't really about the nature of the work (though some types of work are clearly given special privileges - like domestic house work, babysitting, newspaper delivery, etc.).  Clearly forced slave or indentured servitude is the worst of all the issues, even if involving a non minor -...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    As with all laws, there volumes, and some legal exceptions and a bit of non compliance craftiness. I know of some partial exemptions on one State level.   However, broadly know that in no area is it permitted that children sit in their school and do work for outside entity (non study...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    This is a side-by-side comparison of Federal Child Labor laws to New York State's laws: http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/workprot/nyvsfed.shtm This a FAQ style section in New Hampshire on the matter (since we have a known host up there and under the minor status)...

    Child labor in the low end segment

    Well thank you @kaniini for picking up the prior thread and running with this one.  Seems like I struck a sore spot, like usual and lots of people felt dirty and should perhaps be seeking a proper shower.  The earlier thread was an evolution along the way and an oh f***k moment when I realized...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    Expose what?  That they are running scams, have run scams, continue to monkey shit with people's information, people's data, etc.?  This fellow even went out of his way to disguise who he was while working as minor, something I have no explanation as to why such happened/was done. There is...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    How are buyers supposed to know if someone behind one of these companies is a minor?  Is that burden on buyers now?  That's why I've long argued there should be good standards for companies represented in all these communities.    Proper disclosures. I'll tell you what, when I go to every...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    Laws governing CHILD LABOR tend to be pretty, ahh, strict. In the fine state of New York for instance, where CC is incorporated: 16-17 year olds can work during school year ---> 4 hours on a day preceding a school day (M-T-W- Th) 28 hours maximum per week. 14-15 year old ---> Maximum of 18...

    Adam "ET" Ng Attends the High School Prom

    I am sure a subset of the adults paying customers of companies like ChicagoVPS (the self proclaimed largest VPS company out there), UGVPS, 123Systems, BlueVM, etc. which Adam is all up in the customers, files, billing, etc. would be thrilled. Goes to the point of unbondable minors posturing and...

    Requesting photo ID via email OK?

    First SS# isn't a form of identification and was never intended to be. Second, a random company requiring such personal information?  Err, wrong, move on, next company. It's risk assessment on both sides... If the risk is too high, then I'll buy elsewhere.  Photo IDs and such laying around in...

    Positive experience with Dacentec

    Their gear is quirky as others have pointed out...  Unsure if they've finally documented all this stuff and made available for new customers (doubt they have). In past with a HP model there debugged SATA issues which kept disk speeds low... Post-fix, much better. Their provisioning system is...
