start up some dopey service called CodeMyDesigns specializing in Drupal (or whatever the latest trend is), write a book on the subject, and then charge a flat rate 15-30k to develop a site that takes 40-80 hours to build (make sure to stretch those hours over a month or two and make sure to cover your ass for scope creep in the SOW at $162/hr).
It's easy to break 6 figures, you just need a niche market, a decent website, and personalized service better than your competitors.
It's what happens when a marketing department develops a website. "git commit? push? pull? Jesus, I just want to make a quick change. Here, let me start up Dreamweaver and I'll make a change on the production server".
True Story: I have a client, a major university whose name you would most likely recognize, who back in January 2012 senior management made the decision to take their Tier 1 site (read: XYZ.edu) off of version control in order to meet deadlines.
1 year later and they are still not on version control, they still aren't doing daily backups, and there are no versions of the site that exist other than the site hosted on Rackspace.
Public records indicate that each of the partners in the law firm of Hill, Kertscher, & Wharton are either managers, members, or organizers in one or more of the shell companies which in turn appear to have a stake in Project Paperless, LLC.
You can only get 2 of the 3 on any project. The more cooks in the kitchen, the less likely you will get the project done fast or cheap. Management should understand the value of meeting deadlines and budget.:)
Why is this such a surprise? If anyone wants to hide a server/service behind the cloak of anonymity, then yes, a tor hidden service is the way to do it. People do it for good reasons (eg. journalists under threat of death for publishing accounts of gov't actions) and nefarious reasons (silk road comes to mind). Hell, even Yelp blocks access from tor nodes b/c (they say) a large majority of bot traffic comes from the tor network. Is this really the first time a botnet has used tor, or is this the first time a botnet has been caught?
Next thing you know, they'll say the bad guys and terrorists use VPN to access the internet.
I wrote a small Drupal module and found a website that was selling it for $50, see the relevant/. article and commentary. I was upset at first but then figured, meh, if his business is illegally selling software, then his business won't last. The Drupal community became involved as well. The good news is that he changed his business model, took down the "$50 to download this module" payment button, and started selling consulting services around it. I suppose an article on slashdot publicly shaming your business can have that effect.:)
The Tor2Web project is pursuing just this. See the.onion nym system proposal specifically, one of the more exciting projects towards anonymity and decentralization on the internet (short of a decentralized dns system, but I digress).
Did this about a year ago, dropped all friends except for a "close" 30 or so; my immediate neighbors, some close friends throughout the years, and family. No coworkers, no friends of friends, no one from HS or college or grad school.
The great thing about growing older is that it no longer stresses me out when my parents find out I'm smoking pot with the neighbors.;)
If you believe the mhash/s speeds of (yet to be released) ASIC hardware, as well as decentralized P2Pool mining, then you'll need to factor in the effect of disruptive technologies on "deflationary spirals". Bitcoin mining was something I was recently evaluating and decided against after researching and factoring in the effects of profitability decline per year on revenue, especially if ASIC hardware delivers as specced.
I would take another approach: disable the vulnerable file until the customer fixes it. By fixing it for them you may generate expectations which you'll not be able to match in the long run: "don't worry about software updating, the hosting company will do it for us".
The issue is not so much as "disable the file" but rather "disable the module/plugin/extension", which would be even worse if this happened automatically.
I prefer the term "augmented real-time photoshopped derivatives of life apparatuses and symbols", but I digress. Somehow I get the feeling marketing people have known how to "hack" this for years.
ComparePSD compares two Adobe Photoshop PSD files for you and highlights the differences. Layer by layer. Effect by effect. Simple. And did we mention that ComparePSD is absolutely free?
Ignoring the cultural impacts on test-taking ability is offensive and unethical as well. It is a well-known phenomenon that blacks score lower on standardized tests. This is neither right nor wrong, does not mean one race is "stupider" than another. It simply means that some races/cultures are better at taking standardized tests (or that standardized tests are better at measuring educational achievement in some races/cultures, but I digress). Taking this into account and normalizing data for these trends gives researchers insight and will help improve the "scores" of all races/cultures.
It's what you attribute racial differences to that makes it offensive. Celebrate diversity, appreciate heritage, understand culture. That's the spirit of affirmative action, fuck this "color blind" bull shit.
He and his wife Audrey, also an IP lawyer, live in a six-bedroom, seven-fireplace mansion worth $9.3 million, according to public records, and bought two half-million dollar condominiums in Las Vegas in 2010.
forum_access offers a decent performance improvement for mid-large sized forums, it uses the ACL module which helps to reduce number of joins with the node_access table, which is where a lot of performance issues come from. Nanawrimo is a good example of a decently optimized Drupal forum site, they get about 100k nodes/year, not to mention groups.drupal.org or drupal.org, which average about the same.
The truth is that any site with > 10k authenticated users a month and 100k+ user generated posts is going to need performance tuning.

When a skilled individual or small team produces something quickly and within the budget, it is usually a clean, elegant solution.
Cheap and fast is different than within budget and on time.

Right, for some reason the "Disable ads" checkbox is not hiding all ads.

do they wear combat gear while on a mission?
So rent an apartment where electricity is included; most rental agreements don't have anything that specifically forbids bitcoin mining.

because both of those factors can be hacked.

good luck to the future.

Not surprising, iD Software had DOOM removed from Android market a few years ago.
