My priorities: - eight hours a day - Mon thru Fri - long term - enough money to cover living expenses - won't break my back/injure me - no cellphone required - no driving license required - won't demand that I do anything proprietary on my own devices (unless it's temporary, to get the job, and it works on my OS) - if they send something to my personal email, they will comply when I reject DOCX and ask for PDF - all computing done on their computers is theirs, not mine - none of my computing, not even minesweeper or videos during downtime, or reading articles, or changing the wallpaper, is allowed under any circumstances - if anything goes wrong, the software is their responsibility, not mine They've been met. > At the same time, I think it is very important for people like RMS and the > FSF to be very strict about this.

Whenever I don't know how to do something privately or with free software, I ask RMS. -- Caleb Herbert OpenPGP public key: http://bluehome.net/csh/pubkey
