Exactly. Work your 40 hours, leave. Prioritize your work; don't do everything they deem "required". If you do not treat yourself like a human being, the company won't either. If the company does not see the value of your contributions now, they never will. Find a different company.

This service is turned off be default on all systems I manage both as part of initial installation; and where possible by Group Policy. Just another parasitic service which is not necessary....because everyone just uses Google anyways.
Since the majority of the traffic measured will be YouTube and Facebook, this will be an excellent tool for these companies to statistically prove the ISPs are throttling their traffic. Useful traffic patterns will be dismissed as statistical noise. More wasted tax dollars at unwork.
Just think if they had continued to develop "the digital caffeinetic generator with 74 pica-analog capacitators attenuated dicottiliginously for maximum coffee control". You'd be catchin' some of those "dextrose wavelengths" at the corner Coffee Tech; and Starbuck's existence would never come to pass. Jim Henson had a good dream.....
Nice post. Unfortunately, you will never convince a large enough majority that current immigration policy is a race to the bottom -- see H1-B. So immigration policy is too lax which must be corrected by a security policy which is ostensibly draconian. The pendulum has swung to both extremes simultaneously. Hopefully, the system will eventually run out the energy required to maintain both extremes.

Most Americans these days are over-pampered self-absorbed malcontents. If the poles are not out in front where crews can service without going on property -- or even using predefined right of ways -- too many people complain or sue for negligible property damage.
Where I grew up, the power poles ran on the property lines behind and between the houses. Once, lightning took out the transformer on the power pole [great light show and high speed spark ejection]; and people were willing to take down the fence, put the dogs in a kennel, and remove landscaping which had encroached on the power pole so the crew could replace the transformer and other service. Today, I expect everyone shows up with a digital camera to document "property damage" to file for compensation for landscaping which has illegally encroached on the equipment.
Many places various issues prevent burying the power cable: high water table, daytime temperatures which do not cool the ground -- and the power cables, or even fire ants.
For those in colder climates, try the heavyweight firehose material pants. Also recommended for winter desert hiking when you can have rain, snow, sleet, and hail in the same 2 hour period.
The good rubberized electrical tape is not available in retail stores. Electrical distributors are your friend here; just be sure you know exactly which variety you want.
3M has done some innovation in the types of available electrical tape. Try some of this. I stopped using standard electrical tape years ago. I have shown more than one "electrician" how the rubberized tape is more effective and easier to use than standard electrical tape. No more 15kv shocks from your ignition system or other high voltage sources.
You mean let my local municipal government build a last mile connection to my house. This has been tried. The regulated profits of the regulated monopolies provide the incumbents with the ability to write off litigation costs -- regardless of the source of those litigation costs. Those of us who would prefer a municipal network are instead forced to pay the legal expenses which prevent municipal networks.
Ther are tools that make things easier for "quickly maintaining" what you want, but fine tuning is always breaking out a real set of tools and making adjustments.
What about the drivers? Fuck them. They don't even know what a fuel system is and don't care what it is, don't care what fuel injector is outside of "it makes the car go," don't care what a master cylinder or caliper is, and mostly don't care how an ignition system works or even bother to learn how to navigate with a stick shift. Most of all, they cannot be trusted to reliably drive in reverse without somehow screwing up, even if the do it every day.
This is why your auto mechanic treats you like someone who just got off the short bus.
I reported a Morpheus scanner running on an EC2 instance last week. I have not received any response from Amazon either. Of course I am not an EC2 customer, so I don't expect any consideration. But, if no response is forthcoming, I expect I won't be shopping at Amazon in the future for more pedestrian needs.
Mr AC, are you Jay Leno? Your postings are the same old joke over and over. What was once funny is now trite and boring and you give yourself too much credit.
To summarize: the Internet is not, and should not be, a perfectly safe zone with rubber bumpers on all the sharp corners. We cannot expect the government to protect us from every possible implication of our own actions. People can limit third party interactions on the Internet each according to their ability, technical or financial or otherwise. Grow up people!

The results.
Except The Matrix is a The Maze full of rats.
Spam does not belong because it is a food item. The others are just ways to waste time.
But a thick cloud with high density can cover up a lot of ugly infrastructure no one wants to see. Just ask the people who live in San Francisco.

Wouldn't the Latin URL start off with "HTTPUS" for the URLUS?
Only works if your DNS server is properly configured to return the proper IP addressus

We make tools that make other tools.
Unfortunately we make too many tools whose only appropriate purpose is incarceration.
Or form a neighborhood Internet co-op.

3G degrades to 0G rather quickly during Midwestern thunderstorms. I'll keep the landline.
A little flagrant self-promotion there? How much do you need to deflate your ego in order to walk thru doorways?
Or in Terry's case, follow the rules and get 5 years in jail, or don't follow the rules and get 20 years in prison.
If this can be substantiated as a legally logical conclusion, some more court action should be initiated -- by the ACLU on behalf of Terry Childs.
