How about Unlimited Use. AT&T/whoever figures out how many megabytes they are willing for me to transfer per month. After each day of service, compute how much data I have left and divide by time remaining in month, and set the speed cap to that. Repeat daily. Set a minimum guaranteed so things like maps or basic browsing work even if I've turned my phone into a hotspot for 12 people streaming netflix and have blown my bandwidth for the month.
Well, unless you are giving out binaries of your code then you don't need to worry. GPLv2 doesn't care about who receives the output of the code, just if you distribute the code or a binary compiled from that code.
GPL3
Affero GPL licensed stuff though, if you run a server with it and I get the output, I can ask for the code.
Depends on what was covered in the degree program. The Comp Sci Engineering degree at UF has *one* programming class (Java). Here at "the other college" in Gainesville someone who graduated last spring would've had the chance to experience C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, both iOS and Android app, and now with our BAS degree we are covering UML and a few other things. But nothing about say Python or Ruby. So if I were looking for a job and there was lots fo work for people who had experience with Python, doing a boot camp on top of my degree (BS, BAS, or AS) would make sense.
Not sure about VB6, but I used VB4 and 5 as a "scripting language" on Windows to do stuff to text files. Wrote a few things that basically did file format transformation so other people could do it. I was allowed to install VB/Visual Studio stuff but not anything else extra from the default image. Of course, this was in the late 90s and there wasn't really much else there.
Mowing the lawn? I put on the headphones, grab a cold "lawn mower beer" (Amber Bock or similar "lighter" beer compared to what I normally drink), and mow away. Sure it takes me 3 hours to do my acre and a half on a riding mower, and I'm not good for much else when I'm done due to my BAC levels, but at least it isn't mind numbingly boring.
One of my friends from high school got a job on a lawn crew - Fridays were "LSD Days" - drop a tab and get to work... too hard core for me.
IIRC there was something posted a while back about these programs ignoring the hosts file, dunno if they always do a DNS lookup or if there is a hard coded IP/name set in the actual code.
If spoofing the DNS doesn't work, you'll need to do something in the firewall part of your router, either to deny connections to whatever IP or subnet(s) it uses or something else.
More of a subscription license to whatever copyrighted images they have. Basically one stop shopping for licensed works to use in your print or web publications.
May be something worth crowd sourcing. My 2 cars have average mpg over time displays. Set up a small site asking for car make/model/year approximate number of miles, reported mpg and a rough description on driving style (how much highway w/ cruise vs. city w/ light to medium traffic vs city w/ stop and go). After enough entries for a particular make/model/year it should be pretty easy to see just how off the EPA "as advertised" numbers are.
FWIW my 2013 Nissan Versa is reporting 39.3mpg average over the past 50k miles... 60/40 split between high way or back country roads and city w/ medium traffic levels...
Depends on how the grades for the courses the degree/certificate were decided on. Project based learning and minimal exams and good grades? Probably have something going for ya... grading based on multiple choice tests? No proof of any skill/capability...
And reality, what more do many computer users need to do? A good browser and a format-compatible office suite like OpenOffice or LibreOffice, and maybe a mail client. And quite a few can do without the office suite, or just use google docs.
I recall plenty of code being printed in magazines - either computing magazines in "learning to program" articles, or in other publications like Dragon Magazine (a few character generators, a map generator, etc). But was it Free ? Probably not, at least by the current definitions. But you had access to the source....
The college I work for doesn't filter based on keywords, domain names, various lists, etc. I asked the network admin why and was told "if we try to block anything, we can be held liable for anything we don't block".
The college's solution? Get caught surfing porn and you can face loss of lab or library privileges, being forcefully withdrawn from current classes and being blocked from registering for $next_term or longer, etc. Even the possibility of the campus police issuing a trespass warning to you - come back on campus and go to jail.
"should be paying" != "congress/president spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave"
Most of us realize that we should spend less or equal to our income. Ideally, less so we can save for large purchases or retirement.
Of course, there are some that live on credit cards (or refinancing their homes at the height of the bubble and withdrawing cash to spend spend spend) but they get "caught up" eventually - usually by declaring bankruptcy.

To heck with both data and bandwidth then.

Eh, just get your own VPS and run fingerd
All the time, as disposable media. Give some data to someone, don't care if you get the disc back.

Growing up with no cable, BBC was most of what I watched... here in N Florida. Via PBS. And hey, they take donations!
Had to destroy a drive that had a lot of student data on it.
Used a FN-FAL and 147 grain FMJ bullets at about 2700 feet per second.
Do you really think such a thing would be made available where it wasn't required by law?
So can you tell us how you feel about the data logging, the changes coming to available settings with the Aug 2 update, etc?

And that is how we ended up at a fishing pier at 2am...

Devil in Miss Jones may qualify - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...
They don't. But they also don't need to totally ignore it.
This will be an issue at some point.

Why wouldn't you use a VPN when connected to a public AP like you'd find at McD's or Starbucks anyway?
Nah, typical of a UF edumakashen
But hey, at least they have Burrito Brothers close by...
Sometimes that is the best way to interface. Certainly better than arrowing around on a TV remove in the Netflix interface.
