SOrry - I'm absolutely no expert on teacher's wages - I know that where I live, private teaching jobs are more sought after and better paid than public ones, and it seems logical.
Of course leagues are better about minimizing expenses.. that's business 101. Blackmail? What did they do, put a gun to someon'es head? No.. they threatened to leave. Obviously the city felt that the team's presence was a big enough boon to the city to have the taxpayers foot the bill for the stadium.
Just because someone negotiates well doesn't mean they're evil.
Both the nuclear plant manager and the garbage collector do something important.
If the garbage collector does his job poorly, he can be relatively easily replaced by someone more efficient. Nobody dies.
If the nuclear plant manager does his job poorly, millions die, and the area has no power. (yes, I know, I'm overstating it to make a point)

If the garbage man doesn't feel like doing his job well - he will suffer (due to losing his job and corresponding benefits). If the nuclear plant manager doesn't feel like doing his job well - the 500 plant employees suffer for it through shitty working conditions, shitty benefits, and their families suffer because they suffer, and so on. That's why managers get paid more - they are responsible for more, and can effect more change.
Now let's take sports - NBA & NFL players make so much money because they are the focal point of their respective industries, which are run by for-profit assocciations. Anyone can go out and play some hoops.. but the NBA is organized and sells entertainment.
Tens of millions of people subscribe to TV mediums in part because they want to watch NFL games on those channels. TV stations license the rights to broadcast those games to those tens of millions of people for this reason. Because this affects so many people, it's very expensive for the stations. The NFL also makes tons of money in licensing merchandise, advertising, and so on. That is the business they are in. The players, therefore, being the focal point of all this attention, are important enough to the NFL that they can negotiate some huge salaries.
To put it differently, I doubt billions of dollars would be spent on the NFL every year if people had to watch you and I playing football instead of those big monstrous career NFL guys.
Trade unions generally ensure that their members are treated with adequate benefits. Garbage men tend to make pretty good money, and have solid benefits for this reason.
Teachers.. okay, you have me there. Teachers have always been a bit screwed, more because of how the education system is funded than the job itself. Teachers in private schools get paid quite well - the schools are only interested in good teachers because the school is a business and needs to attract students. Universities as well. The problem you refer to is generally with public education... and that's the rpoblem - it's not a for-profit business. For the record, I'm not at all saying it should be.
Then you are basically wasting your time using SSL at all, as, without the ability to control the authentication part of the conversation, the encryption part is useless.
Of course they provide the same guarantee.. you should not accept a self-signed certificate unless you have validated that it is the correct certificate... the principle is exactly the same.
Whether self signed or CA signed, the issue is whether or not you trust the signer.
"To get past this error page, users have to go through four different steps before they can access the website, which from a usability standpoint is far from ideal. This way of handling websites with expired or self-signed SSL certificates is bound to scare away a lot of inexperienced users, no matter how legitimate the website is."
GOOD. This is what EVERY browser should do.
Anyone who thinks otherwise either does not understand what the purpose of certificates is in this context, or has a very different definition of trust than the dictionary.
And this is where the jury has to consider the higher principle at work here. What you said is a perfectly natural reaction, as would any situation where it is perceived someone is not cooperating, or "obviously" hiding something.
It could be that his hard drive has something ELSE on it he doesn't want investigators to see. Maybe it's full of animal porn and he doesn't want his family to know. Maybe he's got the formula for the new secret sauce on there.. it doesn't matter.
If you believe in the 5th, then you also have to use some logic and uphold the back-end of that.
I always wondered.. what would happen if, upon arriving at customs, you clearly told the customs guy "I have this kilo of heroin here.. am I allowed to bring it in?"
What they said was that in some of the requested users, they cannot provide a single user, and are not sure of the ramficiations of providing larger scoped lists of possible users in light of OTHER laws they have to adhere to, so they would like further discussion and guidance from the judge before proceeding.
It's not at all a stretch.. thats' why they call them "Forged Packets" They *very clearly* do not come from the source that compcast pretends they come from.
He was probably thinking "In 12 hours I'll be in another country with a few million dollars I had stashed away offshore, sipping some fruity tropical drink, and it's some place where there is no law against spam, so I can't be extradited. Sure I won't be able to return to the US, well, Ever, but why would i Want to?"
But see what happens when people start tryign to write massively scalable applications - they end up doing all kinds of scalability and redundancy on the client side, rather than in the DB itself.
Plenty of us realize hwat we are missing out on - but the bottom line is, if mysql does the job, using postgres doesn't buy me anything except less staff who can use it and slightly harder to find documentation.

A lawyer can sort that out rather easily.

how about this statistic.
"More than 90% of employed workers in the US are employed by US or foreign corporations"
Then you are basically wasting your time using SSL at all, as, without the ability to control the authentication part of the conversation, the encryption part is useless.
You only get this protection because at some point you made the decision that you trust that particular self-signed certificate.
Without some kind of trust there is NO point to encryption.
Please explain?
A self-signed certificate can say anything.
An "official" CA-signed cert meets certain criteria.
Or.. create your own signing certificate, sign the certificates, and distribute your CA certificate to the clients who want to use it.
Of course they provide the same guarantee.. you should not accept a self-signed certificate unless you have validated that it is the correct certificate... the principle is exactly the same.
Whether self signed or CA signed, the issue is whether or not you trust the signer.
Then use HTTP.
Encryption is useless if you cannot do authentication.
Without some kind of identification, there is absolutely no way to know if you are talking to the other side, or to the man in the middle. None.

Because people barking over and over again that sco is wrong is not legal fact, and does not contribute. Facts contribute.
Okay... news flash.
What is a "reactor"... it is a machine or mechanism that allows a "reaction" to happen.
It's not some magical energy-producing thing.
Fusion is not hard. Fusion is not new.
Fusion with a net surplus of energy in a controlled fashion is the thing we've been unable to achieve.
It's like saying some kid lighting some veggie oil on fire in a can is "working on an internal combustion engine"

Aren't you already allowed to carry your laptop on?
This was just to save you the difficulty of taking your laptop out of the laptop bag and putting it through the x-ray separately....
The service you purchased on your phone contract says otherwise, and that's the problem.

They *very clearly* do not come from the source that compcast pretends they come from.
A very good policy.
IT's also a policy that makes hiring and training, when you can, much easier.
Actually.. that's remarkably great advice.
