You made an unwise choice by buying a house far away from any source of jobs of the sort you prefer. (I'm assuming that you don't live in some sort of IT company town, that there wasn't some huge software plant nearby which has since closed down.)
Why does it have to be far? You suggest Washington. With traffic the way it is there, how do you NOT have 3 hours of commuting a day?
1) Move to another state, to an area where there's both jobs and affordable housing in the same place. Believe it or not, there are IT jobs outside of Sillycon Valley.
2) Find another line of work. 3.5 hours a day commuting (plus 8+ hours working, and hopefully 8 sleeping) means you have little time left over for anything else in life, such as family, hobbies, etc. Some people think their job is worth it, because they're being paid so much. These people are typically executives, and get huge salaries. Somehow, I don't think you're getting enough in your little IT job to buy your own yacht or private jet like those people.
So that he can drive an electric car? Seems kinda like overkill. I live in Atlanta, and work 43 miles away from my house. That's 4 hours of commuting on a GOOD day. It's not a big deal. I used to live near NYC and had the same commute. Didn't mind it there either. If you live in or around a large US city, commuting 1.5 hours each way just gets to be part of the job.
Well that's great but what do you do with all the spent batteries? Then there's the range problem. What are they getting now...40 miles to a charge? Is that really enough? Even if they triple it?
You dont know communism dude. Look at China, they are very close to surpassing america not because they are democratic but a government body that looks after the people, though with a stick it sure is better than lazy ass us government.
They're just inserting the javascript directly into the websites's content, instead of putting an iframe to a hacked server to then run the javascript...
No, they're still using a central location. It's only a script tag instead of an iframe. Same idea though.
Wow, people just don't understand. The Internet is not down there. The packets get routed. It's the web servers that are being vandalized. The actual servers that host the actual content the Internet delivers. Hence, Garbage in, Garbage out.
Um, no. It seems you don't understand. Access is being blocked at the DNS level no just web servers. So like...go back in your know-it-all hole.
Recently, there have been a lot of Russians complaining of the EU, Nato, and the US's double standards - supporting Kosovan independence from Serbia, but then they side with the Georgians against the mainly Russian South Ossestia.
When the officer says, "This is not what we would consider to be a customary home occupation," he's implying a zoning violation. It can be answered with, "This is not what we consider to be a customary neighborhood nuisance." Zoning laws should protect people from things like junk yards, car dealerships and noisy manufacturing. Going after this man is a stretch of those intentions.
It's like anti FUD with you people. He broke a zoning law. If you read the article, particularly the part where it says...
Pamela A. Wilderman, Marlboro's code enforcement officer, said Mr. Deeb was doing scientific research and development in a residential area, which is a violation of zoning laws.
"It is a residential home in a residential neighborhood," she said. "This is Mr. Deeb's hobby. He's still got bunches of ideas. I think Mr. Deeb has crossed a line somewhere. This is not what we would consider to be a customary home occupation. ⦠There are regulations about how much you're supposed to have, how it's detained, how it's disposed of."
...you'd see that he had *WAY* too much stuff in his home AND was breaking the zoning laws by conducting scientific research in a residential neighborhood. I hate the government too, but what I hate more is idiots that spread half-truths. This is one of the latter cases. Print the whole story and it seems like a no brainer, but print half a story, and it feeds the no-brainers.
How long do you think the price will stay at $14.99 when there is an industry that knows that there can be no further entrants?
What? I think the price will be under $10 and stay there shortly.
One round of consolidation will give you a small cartel of companies that will take turns raising the price, just as any other high barrier to entry industry (oil is a good example, as is banking in many countries such as Australia).
Oil is a terrible example as the price of that is set by the open market and commodity traders.
RESULT: Webmasters are all screwed by the ridiculous prices for certs that will inevitably result from the monopoly or cartel, ultimately meaning fewer web sites can afford security at all and either stop operating or just don't use security.
$14.99 is a "ridiculous" price? Really?
They are not necessary. Customers should just learn not to buy from www.amaz0n.com
While I agree about common sense, encrypted information is kinda nice I think.
Yes, and a gunfight would have broken out, resulting in not only the one dead passenger by the killer (that would have happened regardless), but several other dead passengers caught in the crossfire of inexperienced gun wielding idiots.
Right. And that would have been a MUCH better news story than just *one* lousy decapitation. That's why the US is the world media leader. More action, better suspense, and a deadlier final outcome.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Really this is all basic civics. Do they even teach civics classes anymore because I find increasingly widespread ignorance of what our Constitution really means.
Don't try and act like this is a hard and fast issue with a clear right and wrong side and anyone who doesn't see eye to eye with you is ignorant. Protected speech ceases to be protected when it violates the law, which is what this discussion is about.
Anonymity is a fantastic thing on the web and a vital part of free-speech.
Fantastic thing? Sure. Vital part of free-speech? I think not. Speech should be free, yes, but one should bear the responsibility of the things one says. When you lose that, speech becomes noise.
What's your point? That Microsoft's platform specific apps don't run multi platform? Or that those "kill apps" are a must have, you can't live without, and therefore must have a Windows box just to write stored procedures to query your e-mail or maintain an active directory so you can share your calendar schedule with your friends?
Cute. No, I'm saying that if you have a Dynamics accounting department, you're not switching to linux any time soon. And yeah, sorry but AD and Exchange are a must have.

They can still be extremely useful for the other 90% of us in the meantime.
So how do you enjoy your EV? (I thought so)

They may not have it now, but nothing prevents them from installing charging equipment if electric cars become popular.
You mean besides power bills?
Well that's great but what do you do with all the spent batteries? Then there's the range problem. What are they getting now...40 miles to a charge? Is that really enough? Even if they triple it?
If we move our transport systems over to electricity, then change the way we generate that electricity, it does a great deal.
Yeah, and who really drives more than 40 miles a day anyways right? Oh wait...
Okay, I'll pay up. How much does fibre optical cable, amortized over say 100 years and subsidised by all the premium services like TV on-demand cost?
Plus, it's a volume problem too? What's the area of Japan vs. the area of the US? Ok Texas?
You dont know communism dude. Look at China, they are very close to surpassing america not because they are democratic but a government body that looks after the people, though with a stick it sure is better than lazy ass us government.
Or maybe it's their population advantage?
Ignorance of science by people in positions of power is an extremely bad thing...
The same as ignorance of law by people in positions of science is an extremely bad thing too...
Uhm so then use a different DNS server? Hello?
I'm not sure if you're kidding or just don't know how DNS works.

Yeah, poor Russia.
See Conventions, Geneva.
I wasn't aware they had an IT policy.

$14.99 is not a ridiculous price for one website, but when try the pricing on wildcard certificates for *.mydomain.com.
Ok. That'd be $199/yr. I don't consider that ridiculous for unlimited sub domains.

First they came for the trolls and I was not a troll so I said nothing...
And at last, Godwin's law.

So you're comparing the Federalist papers to an internet troll now?
How do you mix anonymity and accountability without compromising either?
You don't. How do you mix black and white without comprimising either. (I guess some sort of swirly kinda deal would do it)
Anonymity is a fantastic thing on the web and a vital part of free-speech.
