After setting up the new device adn being prompted "Do you want to share your connection" how many users are gonna think to themselves "Well, yeah, I want to share this with my iDevice and tablet and the $housemate and... " and click "Yes" ?
Of the 7 linux boxes I keep up and running and actually use for something on a very regular basis, 4 of them do not have any flavor of X installed. One of those 4 has a few X libraries installed (for me to one run app over a SSH tunnel on a local X server), but the other 3 are pure command line only.
So how exactly is Linux reliant on X windows?
Granted, a lot of things that a majority of people use a computer for need a windowing environment (a blinking cursor *is* graphical!) but very serviceable Linux machines with no X exist in lots of places.
Which is funny, 'cause I'm converting an AS to a BAS via UCF... a Real Accredited University, and for cheaper. Sure it was quicker for me to also complete a General Sciences AA first and then hit UCF, but if I hadn't it would've only added 4 extra gen ed classes to my "need to take" list.
Ah, I see. You've localized to SV. Here in Florida, when we need something done - ie, write a single sign on module from our homegrown SIS to a course management system, etc. we get in touch with a few folks, send 'em the docs, what info we have, the list of requirements (language, libraries, versions of said, etc), and request for a quote and delivery date. Some we deal with are single folks set up as LLCs or s-corps, some are co-ops of said people working under an umbrella s-corp or llc, etc. Here's what we want, here's the tools we want/need you to use, tell us how much and when.
Collecting all of it - not really. When your corporation/LLC pays you, you'll still be responsible for all the regular employee taxes you'd pay with a regular job as an employee. But then you also have to cover all of the employer's contributions too (7.5% IIRC on Fed level, not sure if still accurate or what states w/ income taxes do). And then you also have to keep the corporate books straight, etc. which is either more time you have to work (for yourself) or more $ you pay out for an accountant to do it for you
As a contractor, there should be a list of deliverables and deadlines and the amount you will be paid or punished for delivering said deliverables early, on time, or late. If you find yourself working more than 40 hours/week to meet your deliverables/deadlines you need to get better at bidding jobs and setting your own deadlines. Or, you've suckered someone desperate to pay your out-the-butt pricing because *they* are behind on their deliverables and deadlines....
Divide by investors, and then loop thru the investors and remove teh 250k (or whatever chunk) for each one, just like looping thru the records/rows returned by a db query. But, just like if your db query returns no results, doing something like
while ($row=$dbhandle->fetch_row()){// call some function to transfer money from investment account// to investors' accounts
xferMoney($amount,$srcAccount,$destAccount); }
That xferMoney() function would never run, because there is no row to fetch from the db results.
(sorry, was fixing some old PHP code earlier today, so I'm still kinda in that mindset....)
Sure, get a BA in gen studies or gen liberal arts or gen science or whatever. Then if you still want a tech job, get an AS degree from a community college - all you'll probably need are the actual tech classes. Pick up a cert or two. Or just build a portfolio and show you know your stuff.
Having written CGI programs using Visual Basic (4.0) I can say that yes, I am truly glad that PHP was created. For my mostly non-programming job I use a lot of it to automate tasks to make less work for me.
Same way you do for just about any other language - don't trust any input given. Check it for type, check it for how it was delivered (POST vs GET vs reading from file/stdin/whatever), check it for a (sane) value, deal with unexpected or missing values in a sane way, etc. When using SQL stuff use PDO or mysqli class/functions to use prepared statements.
I think that what drives the "gotta get it done yesterday" attitude with the game market is either the marketing company who printed a deadline months ago (coming next june!) for desktop/console games, or in the mobile game market the need to be first to put it out there just in case some other group is working on a similar game or to crank out a different version of the same game (see the Angry Birds franchise)
Heck, you need funding or a lot of free time (and money in the bank to pay your own personal bills) to just get something to the point you can show it to someone else to find out if it is worth continuing to make it good enough to seek funding to do the marketing, etc.
I had an idea based on a problem I saw here at work, and I know that a good solution would have kept me comfortable for a looong time. Unfortunately, I would need to take 6 months to a year to develop it well enough to even begin trying to sell, so I'd need enough $ to cover my paycheck, my health insurance, insurance for my wife and kids, etc. Sure, I got a skeleton of the idea working by staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning, but between working full time, teaching a couple of classes as adjunct, taking a class here and there, trying to be involved with my family, it just won't work.
So here I am 15 years later - my idea still has value, I've not seen a product to fix the issue, and I *still* can't do much of anything with it.

I've used aluminum tape to bed the action of a rifle in the stock.
Cue the "Why not both" girl...
Burned thru LOTS of 22 shot gallery loads at WDW when I was young - the gallery in Frontier Land used *real* guns and *real* ammo.
Was rather disappointed to see they were replaced with cheap cheesy fakes that "shot" light ...
Well, you could just unplug the batteries....
No private citizen NEEDS a gun either; or a car, or a computer, or porno magazines. That doesn't mean we can't have them.
2 of these are protected by the Constitution. A 3rd may be depending on how you define "speech"....
If you are doing financial stuff, should it be via HTTPS ? And should the SSL Certificate have ownership/identity information in it?

Of course, she and her family/extended family/cronies/employees would be exempt from any such limitations

It is a shame that google got rid of the linux (and bsd) specific search options....
Because it is still his project, but more importantly it is his name and reputation associated with it.
Must be taken at same time every day, and some other medications (antibiotics are one) can screw things up with them.

Why not require a .gov TLD as well?

Oh well.
Dunno... assuming he's healthy there are 2 kidneys, 2 lungs, a liver that can be used for 2 or 3 partial transplants, the heart, eyes, etc....
