1.) Comment, comment, comment. If in doubt about comments, comment.
2.) Learn to say no. If you're working on a team where you're constantly asked to introduce new features without extending a deadline, don't be afraid to say no.
3.) Learn to write testable code and unit tests early on. The sheer number of hours in my career I could have saved had I learned early to write testable code is unfathomable.
Think you misread the statement. They liked the machine because having it installed meant that TSA officers *didn't* have to do the enhanced pat-downs.
If it's left up to one Government to determine what is and is not an illegal site, this is ripe for abuse. Or, what if Google decides that a site (lets say, Mega) is illegal, when in fact it's not?
The stuff I've bought is 1/2" x 8" long, and comes in a 100 pack for $7. Hardly need to be made of money to afford cable management. So 67 feet for $7 bucks.
Methinks that the stuff @ Home Depot's garden center is worse.
Look @ NewEgg for reusable velcro ties. Better than zip ties since you can re-run as necessary.
Also look at Tie-D-Wires for affixing cable bundles to your desk. I like ones with adhesive backing so they don't destroy the surface.
Or, go all out and get some plastic channels to run cables through.
In addition to all of the comments about weather actually affecting the data centers that "the cloud" resides in, bad weather pushes most people inside. Instead of being out of their house doing something else, people will start browsing the Internet, increasing the network and server load in these data centers. Large enough storms might drive up traffic just enough to cause, at minimum, a small spike in loads, and at worst would force load distributors to do their work.
