    Oh I agree it's technically valid, but how can you say it without feeling shame? I should change my second sentence there, too. They need a kilopunch in the microdick. Topical!

    Who the fuck came up with that dumb word? Someone needs a nice hearty punch in the dick for that.

  6. My experience... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    A few things that have been helping me:

    -Snack, but on good things. Fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. Read the nutrition label on everything.
    -Drink water. A lot of water. I've been drinking 4L a day - that helps both reduce food cravings and avoid kidney stones. Fuck kidney stones, seriously.
    -Take up a sport. There's no more fun way to exercise than something fast-paced and competitive. If you play video games, stop doing that and use that time to do something out in the real world.

    Just a few questions to see if you've even bothered to think about this beyond "Websites are cool, open is awesome!"...

    These questions all come from firsthand experience.

    1) Who will maintain the data on the site?

    a) Does the city have the budget for them to do this?

    b) Will there be resistance to the amount of work they have to do / training they have to take?

    c) Will you train them?

    2) What do the solicitors think? Will they even let you post what you want on the site?

    3) Do the departments want the information available? Are they going to push back if they don't?

    4) You have no budget. Who pays for or does the hosting? Registration? Admin stuff? Maintenance?

    5) Do you actually have buy-in from the people you need it from, or are they just humouring you?

    6) Are you being used? This is the sort of thing that municipalities (Yes, even your small one. Look at its tax roll sometime) can easily justify dumping $20k+ into

    7) They have done a feasibility study, right?

    8) How familiar are you with accessibility standards? Are there some you legally must meet to even put the site up?

    9) Who is responsible for the site itself?

    10) Are you prepared to have this project drag on for over a year?

    11) Finally, the hardest one - are you certain you know the scope of the project?

    Good luck, but don't get yourself in trouble...

    if you have an itch, scratch it. Work on a personal project - something that bugs you or that you can improve. Personal accomplishments like that can make a huge difference come job interview time.

    There are a couple of ways these things are designed. There are the p2p ones you're talking about and then there are some that use a licensed frequency to communicate directly with towers. I'd find out which strategy your municipality went with before worrying.
