  3. Re:Starts around $45K here in Southen California on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Quite correct. I should have included that with my comment, I suppose. There is a calculator somewhere on the web that you can input your locale and salary, and it will tell you how much it costs your employer POST benefits. I'm too lazy to look for it. Point being, a contract should pay THAT amount, plus some more for the instability factor.

    I just completed a 1-year (40hrs/week) web app dev contract in Orange County. $72k.

    LOL. Well written. ;) It's not my kit, i'm not an affiliate and it's been in my sig for a long time. I just thought it was a funny fit ;) Thanks for the good luck, though.

    I wonder what volume of sales Linksys does in .de. This should be interesting.

  16. Re:Please... on More on Scammers Abusing TTY Services · · Score: 1

    The problem with a data embargo is it's totally unenforceable. The nature of routing prevents the US from just "unplugging" them. They can always find new peering. I don't know the backbone situation in Africa admittedly, but I assume theres more than one person happy to take the Nigerian government's money for connectivity.

    I see these on the 405 every day (Los Angeles). It's already been done. No clue why this was news-worthy. If ClearChannel doesn't already have these, they're behind the times.

  20. Re:Department on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    I admire that you had the courage to respond to that. And your explanation actually made sense, but the original sig is still vague. You can expect people to confuse it. Maybe you should link it to an explanation page ;) Good luck.

    Must be. And now to burn my karma..
    What do you expect to happen when you post something as mindless as that sig with no explanation whatsoever? Perhaps REAL Karma will come back around, and you'll be hit by a truck. Contineo contigi.
