  1. Re:Take home net versus gross before expenses on Researcher Admits Study That Claimed Uber Drivers Earn $3.37 An Hour Was Not Correct (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    For me,
    Last year, fare income alone was about $27/hour
    Add in driver referral bonuses, takes it to $59/hour
    Then take out Uber's fees, vehicle expenses (mileage based), and other related expenses, $2/hour
    Without referral bonuses (and remove the expenses of getting those bonuses): -$14/hour

  3. Don't forget the large cost of exporting the data! on If Your Cloud Vendor Goes Out of Business, Are You Ready? · · Score: 1

    At Amazon you are paying $30k a month to store 1PB. Downloading all that data off their network will run you an additional $60k in outbound transfer fees.

    This only works on calls you receive, not calls you make.

  5. Many Many Windows on How Many Windows? · · Score: 1

    I have many windows open all the time. Usually 10 or so notepads open all over, everytime I want to type a quick note I open notepad type it and never close it. Same with calculator, I usually have several of those open. Same with browser windows (tabs now) and IM windows.
    Quicken, PuTTY, Firefox, Thunderbird to name a few others running.
    About once every few weeks I'll go through and close some unused windows.

  6. Almost got me in trouble on Reporting Vulnerabilities Is For The Brave · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had worked for the Cuyahoga Falls School District in IT. I had noticed that on NeoNet's (Our Internet Provider) FTP server that anonymous was able to download, upload, and delete any file on the server. I reported this in October 2000 to NeoNet, they did nothing about it. In March of 2001 I was laid-off due to financial issues in the school district. Weeks later, the schools web site was replaced with a porn site using the anonymous login. They immediately assumed it was me. Luckily they were able to track it down to a student at the school. They then immediately fixed the FTP problem.

    This article is a dupe of http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/2 8/1751226 though, this article and that article are both about the Mimivirus.
