Especially with "failure to obey flight crew" charges as a threat
Maybe if the airlines want to cram so many folks into the space, they should look at preventing the seats from reclining at all. Even with plenty of room (ie, my 3 year old is in hte seat) a reclining seat will do its best to kill a laptop screen. Fortunately, I caught it quick enough to move the laptop, wait for it to be reclined, and reposition laptop so said 3 year old could keep watching Peppa Pig.
Duct-tapey but it works. Lets add some bailing wire and include a phone with a limited data plan that you can pair with via bluetooth or usb. That way, when both their internet connection *and* the box you are monitoring go tits up at the same time you can be notified as well.
Live in the country, another 500 feet away from teh big grey box and I couldn't even get my 1.5mb DSL. As is, I can get 3mb but can't use it because of too much signal loss.
I could switch back to dialup... I'd have to dig out an old computer to act as a dialup box and gateway for my LAN. I could switch to Dish, but the latency will suck for playing games.
Final option would be to go "dry line" and just buy DSL, but that isn't really changing my service - it just changes who I write a check to each month.
So yeah, if you live in an area with what amounts to a monopoly it is very hard to change.
The Porsche 918 is gonna cost you a whole lot more than $50k
But for $50k you can get a 356, 912, 914, VW Bug or Bus - anything that takes a 200mm clutch, and convert it to battery power from a few different vendors, and still have money left over (maybe, depending on which car you are using as your host).
tilem is a linux based TI emulator... of course, you still need to get the appropriate ROM file(s) for hte calculator you want to emulate, but it is there.
A framer, roofer, brick layer, plumber, or electrician will often have more regular work and possibly a higher spendable income than an architect.
Both types are needed, which is why we have AS degrees from community colleges where students after a programming centric degree will usually have a semester or two on 3 to 5 languages (I had VB, C, C++, SQL, Java, and JavaScript plus the non-programming HTML coding in the mid and late 90s - current degree track is C++/C#, Java, Objective C, SQL, JavaScript and again HTML/CSS stuff). Sure, you don't master a language, but you learn the basics of programming in each language and with project based grading you actually have a small portfolio of real programs/applications when you graduate. By contrast, the large state University just a few miles down the road from us teaches exactly one semester of one language - Java - in their software engineering degree track.
And yet, some of us still play QuakeWorld on a regular basis. There are still servers out there, setting up LAN play is trivial, and for me the fun has always been playing with others - I've only played single player enough to figure out controls, learn a few maps, and test moves out.
Schools are supposed to be funded via property taxes, etc. which all goes into a general pool.
So the states pass laws like allowing a lottery - "10 cents of every dollar sold will go towards education". Sounds great right? Well... until they take away the *normal* funding thru the regular sources, and all the schools have left for their budgets is the lottery monies.
Rinse and repeat.
Of course, occasionally you'll get the limited time tax - like "impose a.25% extra on sales tax in $whatever county to pay for this new school/science building/library/whatever". Then that year's is done, so they put a new one up for again a quarter percent sales tax increase to fund this other thing. Again, rinse and repeat.
Has happened quite a bit in the past... even now, some firearms have "California models" vs. "everywhere else". Example would be the GSG and/or SIG 1911 clones in 22lr that have threaded barrels for "everywhere else" and the thread protector is either silver soldered in place or a different barrel is used for the California model.
A less inflammatory example would be the Porsche 930 from '84 to '89. The California emissions laws wouldn't allow them to be imported into the US at all (greymarket cars from Canada aside, and now the old age exemption). Porsche solved this by offering the factory Turbo Look option, priced about half way between the normal 911 model and the 930 model. To make them, they took a 930, removed the rear windshield wiper, the turbo script under the whale tail, and the turbo engine, putting in the 3.2l normal engine. These were known as "M491" cars after the option package code, and just over 1000 were produced in the 5 year model span (420 for the '83 model year, dwindling down to 15 or so in '89 and almost all were coupes - very few cabriolets were made, and only a few targa models), almost all of which were for US delivery. Buyers got that great wide back end sexy body look, the better brakes, suspension, etc. of the 930, but the regular 3.2l engine that could pass California's emissions laws.
Don't know, don't care as long as it is well documented for us non-coding sysadmin types so we know how to configure our systems to behave in the manner we want. And big blatant announcements when $DISTRO_OF_CHOICE implements it for a release. And a smooth easy painless upgrade/change path would be appreciated too.
For tech/it we have community colleges (or junior colleges or state colleges or whatever non-University places are called where you live) that offer AS degrees. Some University type places also offer BAS - Batchelors of Applied Science - more in-depth tech and hands on, plus a little more gen-ed stuff.
Depends on the quality of the web apps running under LAMP
If they get hacked, it may be possible for the attacker to spawn a new process running on some other port (ie, a shell), or sending stuff out to other machines, so having a firewall that only allows the services you have listening may be good, as well as possibly having it restrict new outgoing connections.
And no, you don't need to write complicated iptables scripts/rules to do this. The ufw utility (available in Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc) has truly simple syntax
Indeed. While I may know the technical details of how style sheets work, etc. I'd rather write the back end code and spit out HTML/CSS that a web designer has generated for me to format the text I'm generating. Works great - he doesn't need/want to learn PHP, I don't need/want to learn about design, and our web apps look good.
With appropriate lighting, etc. you could maybe duplicate part of a kelp forrest/bed w/ one or to plants going all the way up and then the wee beasties like sea horses, etc.
Noting on the case is allowed to indicate it contains a firearm.... just gotta get an airline approved case for it, put said case in larger "regular" luggage, and off you go.
Perfectly legal, but to smooth your way you may want to print the FAA policy as well as the airline you are flying's policy.
Is Verizon service even available wherever the main netflix datacenter(s) is/are? If it is, wouldn't they just need to offer a better monthly connection rate, or better speed for the same rate, and let it be a "normal" competitive service for business?
If residential use was closer to symmetric, just what would the outgoing content be, and how many people would want to be consuming it?
Not only that, but just how many of the residential type customers *want* to be hosting services and offering content? How many kernel source mirrors, debian/ubuntu/mint/whatever binaries mirrors, etc. do we need?
Residential, and probably quite a few business accounts, are always going to be consuming more than producing.
Take a gun with you. Doesn't even have to be a complete gun, just enough for the ATFE to consider it a gun. Less than $100, often closer to $50 for a old single shot shotgun. Ditch barrel, stock, etc. and just keep receiver.
Then you can put it in a true locking case, declare it, and by law you do not have to give a key to anyone, and you can't use the "TSA keys" which they all have master copies of.
Get your luggage lost? Simply look at the airline rep and say "Well, you gonna call the BATFE or am I?"
But that doesn't get me back the few megs of storage it was using. Which means a few less pics of my kids, or a few less mp3s to listen to.
On my iPhone I just move off to a virtual desktop (or whatever they are called) and create a folder or two and move all the "can't remove" apps I don't use/like/care for into the folders. Again, out of sight out of mind...

PHP does the same/similar, but the === checks not just the data contained but the data type since PHP uses untyped variables.
So
$a=$b assigns the value in $b to $a
$a==$b returns true if the value contained is the same.
$a="1"
$b=1
$a==$b returns true
BUT... given
$a="1"
$b=1
$a===$b is FALSE since one is stored as a string and the other as an integer
Which kinda makes sense for a language that has untyped variables.....

Dunno but it may help to keep him on ice ice baby if he is under pressure a lot ....
And, not nearly as fun as a FN-FAL or similar with milsurp ammo.

Some University type places also offer BAS - Batchelors of Applied Science - more in-depth tech and hands on, plus a little more gen-ed stuff.
The League for Innovation also does conferences. Educause may be good.
Both of these are education focused, but there is plenty of technology going on as well.
