How about saving bandwidth? Even the latest ones are still in GIF. You may think 4-5KB isn't much, but how many people read Dilbert every day?
If you really want to save bandwidth, stop wasting your time reading Dilbert. *Talking* about Dilbert on Slashdot, on the other hand, is a completely productive use of time.
Just buy the source to an existing and functional high volume on line site. Product is product whether it's Insurance or computers. Hell, buy Geico's site. All the security is built in, a product model, etc. All you have to do is modify to fit the new product.
Why buy anything when the NSA has the ability to hack their servers and get the source for free?
By far the hardest part of my job as a professional software developer is estimating how long a feature will take to develop.
Actually, I find this part fairly easy. I must be an anomaly because my estimates are usually far more accurate than those of most programmers. I also tend to get a very good idea up front of what the client wants, and what they mean when they ask for vague things like "reports" or "a control panel to let me change stuff".
Paying in cash is considered more suspicious than paying with plastic, precisely because cash is not (easily) traceable. Good luck removing your image from security camera footage.
Beware of people changing the extension (to, say, ".foo") before sending it inside your network. The recipient just has to change the extension back to ".pdf" and voila: they've snuck in an unsanitized PDF. And then there's the problem of password-protected Zip files.

Just make it illegal to bring a gun into an airport. That should fix things.
Wow, the interviewer was a real jackass. Instead of asking pointed questions he just made stupid jokes, a la David Pogue.

There's a way around that: adopt.

Ouch, my eyes!! You'd think someone with something insightful to say about development would re-think that GeoCities-esque web design.
Don't you get it? That's the author's example of yet one more thing *not* to do.
Metastasized, huh? If only they had a way of getting insurance in the event of such a medical condition...
All pregnancies or just "legitimate" ones?

You can't print gunpowder.
So your dog isn't real?
She sprays a different scent on her butt before going online, just to mask her real identity.

He crawled the web manually.
Even if it was used legitimately, how does an "EXPIRED" plate tell the officer the plate number to write you at ticket?

I will give you cash for any of those things.
You can look forward to payments from spammers made via stolen credit card numbers.
No. Things started going downhill shortly after Jaquard.
"It requires software consultants to..."
No problem; that's why I'm a graphic artist who happens to do programming.
Kamikaze drones?
