What is the difference between "salary" and "wages"?

Answer by cgillis73
When you get a salary it is a yearly figure-no matter what. Even if you get out early, have to stay extra hours for finishing the work assigned, etc. You are not entitled to "overtime pay." Usually a salary will be more than you would make during a year if you were "punching in" or keeping track of your hours for your employer.

Wages you will probably get paid by the hour, week or by the "job" but generally speaking "wages" can just be the money you get in exchange for your labor.

What is the difference between "international studies" and "cultural anthropology"?

by daintytime

Question by Erinne: What is the difference between "international studies" and "cultural anthropology"?
I am trying to find out the difference between "international studies" major and "cultural anthropology" major. I want to know I am going to be studying the right thing when I attend college. I love different cultures, people, languages, and travels. My favorite classes were world history and world geography. I am not interested in foreign political relations as I've been seeing whenever I research "international studies". Can you help me clarify the difference? Thanks!

Answer by Desk3Bound
Actually there is very little difference between cultural anthropology and sociology. There is more overlap between those two than international studies.

International studies is more akin to political science.

What's the difference between a "college" and a "university"?

by Nationaal Archief

Question by Woody Y: What's the difference between a "college" and a "university"?
I saw an item in the news the other day where some "college", I can't remember which, wanted to change its name to "university". Or maybe it was the other way around - I forget.

Anyway, they seemed to feel that one title or the other had more cache and would attract a higher caliber of student.

Does anyone know - is there any specific thing that distinguishes a "college" from a "university"? Obviously it's not important but I've always been curious.


Best answer:

Answer by geekboywonder
College- one school
University- alliance of schools

An example... I went to Stephen F Austin State University... there were originally Texas State Teachers' College and the East Texas School of Forestry. When they joined forces, it became a university.

This is why you hear "Yada Yada University, Bing Finkleman School of Law..."

What is the difference between an IP-Pbx telephone system and a normal PBX?

by Alex Dunne

Question by kakashisama_sharingan s: What is the difference between an IP-Pbx telephone system and a normal PBX?
So i am looking for a telphone system for my small sized company. We need something that provides us one phone number but in case the line is busy another staff member can get the diverted call even though he/she is sitting in a completely seperate country.

What are the differences between IP-PBX and normal PBX systems. We have roughly 14 employees so would need around that many phone lines of similar numbers.

Thank you.
P:s could you also link some product if u have in mind thanks.

Answer by Jennifer
A traditional pbx system is going to be a hardware solution to plug all of the telephone lines into. While a virtual PBX is going to be a software solution. IP phones work particularly well for a virtual PBX because all of the phones are connected to your LAN within the office.

Here is a link to Axon which is a very cost effective virtual PBX that you can combine with other application to make a complete phone system.
http://www.nch.com.au/pbx/plus.html
for example add IVM for an auto attendant and voicemail, and/or IMS for advanced on-hold messaging capabilities.

You can use this system with either VoIP telephone lines which would be easiest and cheaper if you decide to go that route, or you can use it with your standard analog landline phone lines too, but you will need additional harware in the form of a telephony board or fxo adapter to connect the phoneline(s) to your computer
(ex. http://www.altoedge.com/telephony/index.html )

Since you mentioned IP here are some IP telephones that you can take a look at:

I hope that is at least a good start to an answer for you!
