My side hustle started 17 years ago. That turned in to owning small niche software business. I now write in C, building/refining my products and sell them on the internet to various enterprises. Most all sold by word of mouth and my web site. I have invested in retirement accounts, but no plans to stop coding. It's what I love.
This may sound a bit old school.. All my linux servers are headless and use a NULL-Modem (RS232) to access their console. My Raspberry PI (with raspbian) uses a 4 port USB-Serial adapter to connect to all my servers. I connect to the RasPi over the internet using SSH (No Passwords - Certs!) and then use conserver (www.conserver.com) to manage the machines.
The answer is usually economic, switch to a different provier (dsl or fios maybe).
Ok for those who don't have any other broadband, stop using your ISP's email! Get a gmail/yahoo/hotmail account. That way jumping ISP's is easier should you need to...
This is just another shining example of how the encumbants will bind together to keep their market share.
First: Form an alliance to dictate what customers 'need' not what they want.
Second: Spread as much FUD as possible about those who threaten that market share.
Agreed. The entire reason why I switched to Debian was the fact that they had current support for the sparc architecture. Both SuSE and RedHat dropped it long ago....
I happened upon a palette of old sparc 2's and now use them for firewalls and web servers. In my experience the kernels running Debian's 'Testing' version have never shown a problem.
Have you ever seen carpoolers in the morning? They read the paper. I can't see a larger hazard than a fully opened newspaper in the passenger seat.
I am also curious about law enforcement vehicles. Now they can drive in excess of the speed limit during non-emergencies AND surf the internet... Who is above the law here?
Not entirely true.. I work for a small company, 5-6 people who work out of their homes. Because we cannot get static IP's to everyone communication becomes and issue and a hastle. I see a real need for this kind of software. The encryption is a bonus for companies who don't want their communications listened in on....
To date I've never worked in an office, I've always worked out of the home. I've done everything from software support to development using the web, an email client and a toll free number directed to my home.
Unfortunately the ldap tools out there are pretty poor. I've been working with LDAP for about 6 years and my tool of choice is Perl with perl-ldap. It's the perfect fit for advanced operations. All of our software is written using this platform.

.. If the client companies already sold their email lists to various marketing firms?

Guess it kinda makes sense that a recognizable name should be used for the spaceport...
