Explain the budget issue to the band members.
Institute a reimbursement plan where each member pays a percentage of the overage bill based on how much data they used.
If the leader singer wants to spend $3000 streaming cat videos then let him its his money, but his actions should not negatively impact the rest of the bands bottom line.
"the government would have to guarantee a college education."
Statements like this are ignorant, people who assume they have the right to have whatever they want and not have to pay for it are the biggest problem this country has.
1. If you choose to borrow a given amount of money, with a given set of terms to repay that money, and you sign the contract, then YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for repaying it.
2. If you choose to spend that borrowed money to get a Degree is something that will not assist you to start a career with enough compensation to repay your contract. It does not relive YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to repay it.
3. If you choose to make poor decisions it does not make it the governments responsibility to bail you out.
WE ARE GUARANTEED CHOICE AND THE FREEDOM TO MAKE BAD CHOICES.
No we should not be guaranteed a college education, There is far too many children graduating high school with zero ambition to work, study or do more than expect things to be given to them.
If you want to fix things we need to make several changes.
1. Eliminate - hand out programs for everyone expect the disabled. "Does not include morbidly obese" 2. Put a minimum performance to continue education for all grades 9th to 12th. If a students GPA drops below a B Do not let them enroll and attend next year. Make them get a job. 3. Instate a "Work for Food" program vs. Welfare & food stamps. - Show up pickup garbage on the highway, clean gutters, paint park benches etc. Receive 1 day worth of food rations for 2 people. Maybe make exceptions for single mothers raising more than 1 child by herself. 4. Eliminate the dependent tax deduction at 2 per couple, and reduce it by the same for each additional child. Exceptions for children conceived against the mothers will.
If you want something out of life, get up and work for it, do not expect someone else to do it for you.
"Personally, I hate it when I have managers that don't understand what I'm doing. It's like having someone in charge of you that doesn't even know how to do your job"
I need to disagree with you,
1. You have your job because the company you work for felt you were the best person to do it.
2. Your manager has their job because the company you work for felt they were the best person to do it.
3. Your manager is not there to do or understand your job.
4. Your manager is there to ensure you do your job, to support you, to coordinate with the rest of the business that your job interacts with, leadership, users, finance etc.
5. Your manager should be looking to you as the expert in your position. If they are not then you are not doing your job.
I could go on an on about the differences between an Engineer, a Tech, a Manager, and a Team lead.
It sounds like what you are looking for in a manager is really a team lead position.
I agree on the similar sounding letters, D E V T Should all be combined into 1 character.
Perhaps base it off of Phonics to start with a limited set of distinct sounds different enough from each other that they can not be confused or made to sound different. No Inflections, no double character changes from O = O to OO = U nonsense.
Something to consider that would be more important than Syntax and Grammar. How would it sound make it universal and eliminate accents.
How would be accents speaking this language sound if some one from South Carolina spoke it, vs. New Jersey vs. California vs. Mexico vs. Asia vs. Germany vs. Where ever.
Lots of places try to teach English and non-English speakers claim to know it, however rarely can you understand them fluently.
I would recommend a standard rate of speaking with delays after words depending on the type of word, Name, Noun, Verb, Adjective, etc.

I wouldn't require voters to come to the poll, though I would compare every item on the ballet against the total number of eligible voters.
Examples 1. Should there be a bill to raise the sales tax by 0.05% to raise funds for Local Schools? A. Yes B. No - Default or no responses will be counted as B. No.
This means that not only would the bill supports need to convince 51% of the population to come to the polls but also to vote their way.
2. Who Should be the next President / Congress Man etc. A. Obama (D) B. Bush (R) C. Leave the position empty and forward the decisions that seat would have made to an open poll like example 1. - Default or no responses will be counted as C. Leave the position empty
The things I would be more concerned about would be the cables, I would suggest some flexible steel conduit to run your HDMI, CAT6, and power cable through. I would also fabricate a plexiglass case 50% larger than your HTPC, add in several large Silca packages from electronics. ( I used several of these in my gun case to combat moisture ) Depending on your area, I might also put down several glue traps surrounding my setup like a moat.
I disagree if my Network Monitor starts telling me an IP Address, MAC Address, or other out the norm traffic is taking place on the network.
The first thing I would do is plug the hole.
iptables -A INPUT -s Your host trying to Pentest me -j DROP
If they are inside the network I would shutdown the switch port attached to a malicious acting MAC Address. Granted it is a very, reactive way of doing things, and it is the last line of defense. But in a real situation I wouldn't hesitate to block access as an attempt was being made, before patching the vulnerability.
It's not too hard to setup alerts to notify you, Hey this IP Address has scanned me. or Hey this IP Address is sending not standard packet information to me. or easiest this IP Address has attempted X number of failed login attempts in the last Y minutes.
So what your saying is, I shouldn't pull the RAM out of a Macbook Pro with a dead logic board, to replace bad RAM in a Dell, or pull a SSD drive from a Lenovo Laptop with a dead Graphics card to replace a failed drive in a Macbook Pro?
At the end of the day ALL the hardware is the same, with only a small difference in the percentage of hardware failures once it makes it to the users hands.
I a lot of school districts here, allow for home schooled kids to participate in a wide variety of "Social" Activities or split education between subjects.
Home schooled students here can take core curriculum at home, reading, writing, math, science, and attend public school for subjects such as art, music, and PE, Sports, Extracurricular clubs etc.
I would suggest a conversation with your local public school administrators about the options in your area.
Depending on the what your kid needs you will have to find what works.
I would love to see Slashdot do a poll on Tech Support satisfaction survey from a IT support position.
Something along the lines of:
How many OSX devices do you support? 40 How many Windows devices do you support? 70

I grew up in a small rural town in CO, kids 8 to 15 had and shot rifles (BB, Pellet,.22 LR, 12 gauge etc, no hand guns) rode bikes, went fishing, and climbed trees some times 10 to 15 miles away from home. No one supervised us other than ourselves, and our friends.
You know what?
Nobody died Nobody was hurt Nobody was kidnapped
We grew up with a sense of knowing what we could do if we put our minds to it
We had a healthy respect for our parents, we always asked permission and they knew where we going. We rode bikes to the river go swimming, fishing, sometimes catch clean and bring home dinner. We built forts and club houses We shot at empty cans, balloons, snow balls We blew up soda bottles with dry ice We experimented And... We learned....
You say these calls are being forwarded to your call center. Help me clarify how this behaving,
A) Company XYZ (Scammer)
Buys a trunk from Level 3 and sets the CID to your 1800?
Calls everyone in DC, and they call the number on their CID
B) Company XZY (Scammer)
Buys a trunk and from Level 3 and sets the CID to one of their own numbers
Calls everyone in DC, They receive a call and forwards the call over SIP to your IP Address and call center.
C) Company XYZ (Scammer)
Buys a trunk and from Level 3 and sets the CID to one of their own numbers
Calls everyone in DC, They receive a call and forwards call back out over their trunk to the PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) to one of your 1800s
D) Something else ?
A) - Legal action is required as it is a violation of FCC regulations. And I would report the issue to them and let the FCC handle them. B) - Put in a firewall rule or VOIP rule based off the source IP Address sending you calls to either not accept them or to forward them to a honey pot or back off site to say Level 3s CEOs personal cell phone get creative. C) - a bit more difficult depending on if they forward the callers CID info or their own CID info for the trunk. in either case you can contact your LEC and ask them to block traffic intended for your 1800 number from that call trunk (this can be done regardless of CID) but you will need to get fairly high up the engineer Ladder to a good Central Office Engineer
