There are other incentives:
No one will override your decisions.
You can not be fired.
Other employees can not hurt you,you have to do it to yourself.
No fears of employee theft or pilferage.

No... No... No... You missed the point. The post said something about
listening to music at work... Reply was be an elevator operator. The next
reply said something about those jobs disappearing years ago... My point
was that anyone can stand in an elevator, get free music and push buttons
for others all day if they want to... Or at least until security finds out
and has a problem with their kindness - or theft of musak, depending on the
lawyers involved.
It was not meant to say that he could somehow make money off it. It was
meant to show that weirdoes like me can get joy out of doing stupid,
harmless stuff.
Just imagine the reactions after years of doing it when someone notices you
are gone and says, "Hey, so-and-so, the elevator guy, got fired I guess!"
and their friend's reply is, "Fired? He was never an employee. He was
simply mentally ill like that guy from Northern NJ..."
...Okay... I gotta go get some sleep...

I'm always amazed at how they can rachet up
basic phone service ( $12 ) to a $22 phone bill....
I dumped "long distance" some time ago.
They tax and sir-charge those calls to death.
TARGETsells ATT phone cards for as little as three cents a minute.
I put the access # and pin # into speed-dial,
and it's really convenient to use.
We also carry the card when traveling.
It really saves on hotel/motel phone charges.

Yes, and it is a clean three cents except for the pay phone surcharge
which all cards have. When i was in that business I got tired of trying
to explain how a clean 5 cent card was a better buy than a 1 cent card
with numerous surcharges i.e, the "Penny Card" which charges a 49 cent
connect fee per call.

Be careful, some hotels charge for calls to 800 numbers.

At a DD recently, I counted ten vehicles in line at the driveup - I
got fast service inside, (no one waiting) and when I left, a certain
blue truck had only moved three spaces. He had to be about ten
minutes away from the window.

I consider it money well spent - if I didn't pay, I know I wouldn't
exercise on my own.

The algorithm for determining how risky you is very different for the two
coverages so it makes sense for them to be sold and quoted as separate
products.
Also, the latter is optional (in many states, anyway) so another reason not
to bundle them.
If you want to reduce the cost of UM coverage, lobby for stricter
verification of financial responsibility when registering a vehicle or
renewing a drivers license and get new legislation passed to increase the
minimum required coverage limits and make failure to obey the financial
responsibility laws a capital offense (ok, you won't ever get that passed
but at least, make the penalties stiffer than they are now.) Reduce the
number of uninsured drivers out there and you reduce the risk.

The problem in many states is that even though you need to show proof
of insurance to register the car people can make a down payment and let
the insurance lapse.

PHP is probably not a very good attack vector, since probably 0.0001% of
Windows users have gone to the trouble of installing a PHP interpreter.
It's much more likely to be a configuration error on the web server,
where it's spitting out PHP source code instead of interpreting it
on the server side like it's supposed to.
