At $10/month or more each? No thank you. I'll just pirate your content, you can go fuck yourselves in whatever MMF, MFF, MMM, FFF, whatever configuration works best for you.
Do you foam at the mouth if you can't play a game when you want? Do you twitch when you can't get at your facebook profile? Do you break into people's houses when you can't get a grindr match?
You ain't addicted, you're a lawyer looking for a way to get your stupid ass client off whatever stupid thing you did.
If on the off chance that he does go to prison, he's gonna go to country-club prison and probably collect his entire salary as hush money when he gets out anyway.
Country club prison is still prison. This guy will lose the lifestyle he's used to. He'll eat shitty food when told to. He'll sleep when told to. He'll wear shitty clothes, and let outside whenever the guards decide he can go outside. Library privileges will be limited. TV is limited. Phone calls are limited. Internet? Yeah, about that. Cell phone? More prison time if caught.
If you live in the ghetto country club prison may be no big deal. Make a 6-7 figure salary? I'm pretty sure it sux ass.
I've had great teachers who walked me through the material and made me understand it. I've had bad teachers who pretty much cribbed from the textbook and couldn't answer questions. Guess which ones took attendance every class and demoted you when you weren't there?
It's called competition. Company A offers "up to x" bandwidth and deliver "q". Company B offers "up to x" bandwidth and delivers "r". Consumers quickly realize q > r and switch to company A. Company B get's it's shit together and now r > q. Consumers switch.
Assuming prices stay the same, this is how it's supposed to work. But, with lock in contracts, hard to tell speeds, and confusing contracts, it seldom works out this way.
Back in '90 or I was sysadmin when we got a bunch of personal Sun workstations. These all had microphones on them, Usenet soon told me how to turn the mic on and record to a local file. Went to my boss, told him we needed to open up every box and cut a wire. He was all like "um, no, not gonna happen". Told him to wait 5 minutes, then call someone and talk for a minute or two. Went into his office, played back the audio file I'd recorded of his conversation, spent the next few hours opening up brand spanking new Sun workstations to cut a wire.
Why yes, I do have black tape over the camera on my laptop. Why do you ask?
Don't let them use end to end encryption for their banking, stock market fiddling, and buying stuff over the internet with a credit card. Come on, it's only right!
2 weeks of this and these bankrupt assholes might find the clue pile.
I have a bluetooth stereo I pair with my phone. Whenever I do this my phone is plugged in.
What I want is for my phone to access my NAS, which has something like 200 gig of music, not just the paltry amount on my phone that gets listened to when I exercise.
Yeah, I know I can buy a bluetooth dongle for my laptop, and I can spend money for an app that may or may not work well on my phone, but jeez. It's a droid. It's got WiFi. It's got Bluetooth. Why can't it access my damned NAS and send it to my bluetooth speakers?
Power consumption? Did I mention whenever I do this my phone is plugged into a nuclear power plant? Ooops they shut San Onofre down. Guess I'm sucking power out of some rich dude's Tesla charging experience. Whatever.
I have a feeling the NFL is on the way out. Thank god we told Spanos to take his ball and go home, let the saps in LA build his new stadium. Oh wait, it's some billionaire from St Louis who's gonna let Dean camp in his basement.
Whatever, I'm glad we aren't on the hook for an expensive ego booster to some dinky dicked millionare.
Assuming ping isn't an issue (do you really try to play a multiplayer game on a bus in the middle of nowhere? If so, you need a swift kick in the balls and a quick whack upside the head with the cluestick), um, what was I saying.
Satellite. Viasat. Ping sucks ass, but the bandwidth per buck is pretty good, and from what I hear coverage is good.
Disclaimer. I don't work for Viasat. I don't know much about their coverage maps. But it's free to spout my opinion, so there it is.
Really? That's your response? Python is a great language with a major hole in the middle of it. Has nothing to do with retards, nor H1-Bs (many of whom I've worked with and they are not retards).
Python fails because it's bitch to import code from SomeUnknownD00d into yours, hoping SUD was kind enough to convert tabs to spaces. And to logical spaces. If my code has tabstops of 4, and SUD has tabstops of 2, all bets are off.
Python rocks. I love it. I've written 2-3 major apps in it over the last 15 years.
That said, using spaces for block definition is brain dead. Seriously. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but, whatever.
tldr; Python is a great language with one huge fucking hole. When tabs vs spaces change the way a program runs, something is wrong. Yeah, I know you can tell your editor to change tabs to some random spaces, but still.
When I find code for SomethingIReallyWouldLike, and it Doesn'tFuckingWork, and I find out FuckwitUsed2CharacterTabs, then something is broken. Broken hard. Broken bad.
Actually, shopping where there is no stupid sales tax is the opposite of taxing stupidity. You want to tax intelligence, which is much harder to tax as the smart folks are, well, smart.
Several years ago when I needed a new car National City (home of the Mile of Cars), and I think El Cajon had an extra sales tax on cars. Guess what? I didn't even shop there, bought my car in Carlsbad.
This kinda shit only helps short sighted feel good types who can't be bothered to see how real world consumers will react.
You get government benefits, and there is an H2B job available, you take that job or lose your benefits.
It's the whole "get paid to not work" that makes this kind of BS possible. You wanna watch TV in an apartment instead of watch street traffic from a refrigerator box? Get a fucking job.
Disabled? I'm sure there is an H2B job somewhere you can take.
I don't recall anyone patting me on the back for carrying a coworker's old code through several years of releases.
Years ago a co-worker's daughter drowned in their swimming pool. Made the local news and everything. I'm gonna call him Frank cuz his name wasn't Frank.
We were a 4 man team (yeah man, no females involved). A couple years before 2 of us worked under Frank, he was a great boss. Due to the company's matrix management system Frank worked for, oh hell, Bob. So, uh, Frank and Bob were a level above me, and we had an Indian dude who had been there about 3 months before, um, Frank's daughter died.
Frank was a hell of a contributor. Until his daughter drowned. Then he was a worthless pile of crap. I hate to say it, but his goal in life was to use a shovel to fill in that swimming pool. Know what? The 3 of us carried him. Frank did maybe 1/3 of his workload, the other 3 of us covered for him. Our immediate boss knew what was going on, and also knew Frank was a damned good engineer.. This went on for a good year, then 2 things happened. First, he filled that pool and started turning into a good engineer again. Second, I did the dumbest thing I've ever done and left that company for a startup.
I'm 59. My main item on my bucket list is to be alive when the *nix clock rolls over, cuz I really want it to be a big bag of nothing.
Then again, I'll be really old then, and will most likely either be A) chasing tail in my retirement community; or B) looking for n00bs in MW3 while drinking whiskey in my private room to even notice.

Social security and medicare. Die early, save the government thousands. Act like lemmings, save them billions.
I've never read a guide to strong passwords that was more than a half page long. How the hell do you stretch it out to 8 pages?
Kinda tells me why the specs for chocolate chip cookies are 40 pages long.
I later upgraded it to 48k (the max, 16k was used by the display), added an expansion board, floppies, and updated the character ROM.
Learned both HW and SW on that puppy.
