Has anyone considered steganography? Just encrypt your messages in pictures and send someone the link via message... to FB, it just looks like you're sharing pictures back and forth.
All you need is the website itself (pages, DBs, etc.) , a cheap webserver, and the knowhow to point DNS to the IP address for your website. Isn't that pretty much how you would host a website out of your home (pesky ISP "no server" clauses aside)?
I'm starting a business because it's the right thing to do with the efforts I've made in my life and the cards I hold right now, not because I "can't find work." I could get a regular job, and be a wage slave for the rest of my life -- I choose not to.
Why are your options "don't work" or "wage slave"? Is there a reason you couldn't command a higher salary with your experience?
Perhaps "Experience & Salary Demands Discrimination" would be more accurate...
Because in this economy, there are more than a few companies that will completely dismiss you for missing one or two trivial things. There's a hundred people lined up at the doorway to replace you.
We had this system. It was called "the manager hires you for two weeks on a trial basis". It doesn't really seem to exist anymore except in smaller businesses that still have good business sense and some kind of respect for their employees.
No matter how fantastic someone's degree or resume may be, the best way to tell if they can do a job is to actually give them a shot at doing the job.
Thank you for your answer. I'm not even your constituent and you understand the importance of answering the questions of the layman. I wish more politicians were like you.
As analogy, limping isn't exactly healthy or normal behaviour either - but should you be surprised if you see someone limping after falling off of a roof?
For a week or two? Sure. Six months? Something's still wrong.

NES? Heh, try stuff even as recent as the Playstation. Good luck finding one of the (seemingly) dozen copies of Suikoden II they seemed to press for the entire North American continent...
Having good references from previous jobs that you've been at for 5+ years in no way means that you can actually do the work. It could just be that you're a very good slacker who can bullshit their way out of doing work.
I know New Hampshire takes the whole "Live Free or Die" motto very seriously and I think that's awesome. I have three questions for you, little nagging things that are sort of holding me back on advising friends who are considering leaving New Jersey (the polar opposite of NH) for anywhere else to go to NH.
1) What's your Internet infrastructure like down there? Any plans to get a municipal system going, or something akin to power/telephone where the lines are public and the ISP provides the service?
2) How's the whole "cops don't like getting recorded by videos" thing going? Has there been any recent acknowledgements of the citizen's right to record police actions in public?
3) What's the downside to NH? It's cold, sure, and there's loads of Bostonians moving in towards the South/Southeast area, but aside from that I don't know what it is. So in the sense of an interview question, what's New Hampshire's greatest weakness?
The more informed I am, the more willing I am to advise people to move there and to move there myself eventually.
You know, I've recently been reading up on Word 2007/2010. The last time I actively trained with an Office program was '97.
There's a lot of fluff and I still dislike the ribbon (although that's probably because I dislike having to adjust to it), but I honestly see a lot of useful features added. The UI seems a bit more intuitive and intelligent. The Format Painter alone is a super-useful feature. And there's all sorts of other little things like viewing documents side-by-side (with simultaneous scrolling!) that I find really cool and useful.
It still has its problems, of course, but while there has been a lot of junk added I think there was a lot of pretty cool stuff too.
(Of course, saying anything positive about Microsoft or its products is heresy, so I expect to get rapidly modded into oblivion...
Let me clarify here - I was going for funny, but it might have come out a bit homophobic instead.
I meant "then some moron repealed DADT" as "some moron inadvertently closed the easy loophole to getting out of the military", not "some moron gave those homosexuals equal rights". I usually don't like to correct or explain myself after the fact, but after reading through this a day later I sort of come across as a bit homophobic and that's not really who I am.
Welp I'm pretty poor and while I'm not morbidly obese, I'm definitely overweight by a pretty wide margin. (Thank goodness I'm 6'5"...) It's hard to afford fresh meat, fruit, vegetables, etc. at $2-7 a pound. =|
Dammit, I remember seeing something where the "Like" button would be greyed/blacked out unless you hit it. It was basically a mini firewall that isolated that element of the webpage so you didn't actually appear to visit the site - it would only work if you actively clicked on it. Man, I can't remember what it was called...
From what I'm reading, you had a bit of a minor breakdown because some police (which you invited in) simply walked through your home.
You might not realize it, but this isn't exactly healthy or normal behavior. Please go see a psychologist and talk with him/her. When a quick police search through your home impacts your life that much then something is out of balance somewhere.
its hard as hell to find work when everyone is half your age (or less) and willing to slave for wages that end up putting me backwards.
Dude, you think it's just you?
The norm in a lot of places is 70 hours or more a week for shit wages. If you can't handle it, too bad - they'll just hire someone else. It is unfortunately not something unique to your field. Companies don't want to pay for quality employees any longer.
As someone who knows a lot of soldiers, I can tell you that I'm fairly confident most soldiers aren't criminals. What they are is usually poor and desperate, and for the most part they take a sense of pride and honor in working for their country.
Then, politicians take that sense of pride and honor and use it to send them to other countries and blow them to shit.
So really, please, aim your misguided anger at a more appropriate target, such as the people who actually put them in these places.
We're just fat because we have so much money that we can afford to eat what we want and then use our high-quality, afforduble American healthcare! And I'm not arrogant, I'm just better than you. "MURICUH FUCK YEAH!
I view Facebook as a necessary evil to my social life. I get a lot of good out of it. There's also, of course, the whole tracking schtick, and on certain sites I visit that doesn't sit entirely well with me.
What's the geek's solution to neutralizing the Like button but being able to re-enable it when desired? Adblock? Noscript? hosts/etc.?

Here's two interchangeable phrases when someone says "Atheism is a religion!"
Atheism is a religion like "off" is a TV Channel.
Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.

I wonder if some "decorative" infrared LEDs framing your license plate could thwart (or even damage) such a system.

Well you used to be able to quit pretty easily, but then some moron repealed DADT.
