Only a mistake if you expect them to work more than 10minutes 42sec (approx) per day.... (for 1uk/day... scale as appropriate).

Sounds like a cushy number, though life on the dole might be more lucrative (though this job may come with free internet, etc).

Aren't we forgetting Mr Darling?

By the time the Chancellor goes through this, there won't be much left even for rice!

Don't forget the perks

Being able to copy all the data to CDs, and sell it to fraudsters.

So RIM opening a new support centre!

I hope Mr Majid's employers don't read The Reg, or he's just blown the fact he's looking for a new job!

Whew!

Boiled cardboard?

Surely you can't afford to boil the cardboard at that rate. Plain cold cardboard for you!

"for 1uk/day" I wouldn't mind being paid by the UK. A few hours work and I'm worth a fair bit of the global economy :oD

Although the attendant problems with the collateral might make it unviable.

Well I guess...
