I love the nerdiness of their salaries:
>Salaries (Four FTE @ $28.8k annually)
That's pretty awesome. Never thought about expressing it like that.
No one got that this dude was talking about modems.
But then, I have to wonder if the Diaspora folks did it intentionally... they seem, how shall we say, "postmodem"?
A great joke ruined by bad keming.
Hahaha. I totally missed it the first time around. :)
Too low? Probably outsourced?
What is FTE?
Either 'Full Time Equivalent' or 'Full Time Employee'.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-time_equivalent and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-time
I believe Full Time Equivalent, but I was referring to the modem rating (i.e. 14.4k, 28.8k, 36.6k, 56k, etc.).
Full-time engineer. (er, equivalent; vailripper is probably right)
