I was with a one-man ISP for 12 years, starting off with a dial-up UNIX account to hosting my websites. Unfortunately, in 2007, the two lines from different providers to the out of state data center got cut in separate backhoe accidents (what are the odds?). It took ten days for the providers to restore the lines and him to get a third line with a different provider installed. I've already moved my websites to a dedicated hosting provider by day eight. I haven't suffered an outage since then.
Social media strategy requires repeating the same item three times (eight hours apart) in a 24-hour cycle. That strategy is typically used for Twitter and not a website. Maybe replace the social media manager with an AI?
That's funny. When I started reading Slashdot back in 1999 or so, it was called a website. Someone probably slapped on the "social media" label a few years ago to get some VC money.
How could you know what happens "by default" when you've never had sex?
I had a pair of parakeets when I was a teenager. One day my aunt came into my room, saw the birds on the curtain rod and asked me what they were doing. I took a look over my shoulder and said, "They're screwing around."
[...] much less spend hours frantically pestering website operators for NO pay, in the vain hopes that they'll assist me in protecting my "copyrights."
I've spent 30 minutes on the DMCA takedown notices. More than half of the picture have been taken down. The others will follow shortly.
None. Because
1) You don't know what everyone does with their time.
2) It was very funny.
FakeFuck39 confessed to being behind criemer,
creinner and cremier, which was instrumental in getting the account deleted (note the placeholder name for the username). An AC in the same thread confessed to being cdreimer.
The ad revenues I get from Slashdot barely covers the subscription cost for The Wall Street Journal each month. It's a drop in the bucket to the the total ad revenues I get from all sources, and ad revenues represents a small slice of the gross income for my side business. Note that total ad revenues and gross income are confidential information.
Modern computers tend to not have a serial port on the back (unless they are servers) but there is often a header on the motherboard you can connect one to.
The ECS Elitegroup KAM1-I motherboard has four serial ports: two in back and two headers. I built a Linux box around this motherboard for under $200 to serve as a terminal server to my Cisco certification rack. I'm running Red Hat Linux 64-bit on it.
Both the advice and the messenger are big fat turds.
If you can't consider the advice separately from the messenger, you're missing out on great advice that could change your life. And then some people wonder why their lives never change for the better.
Since just a few weeks ago you claimed to be earning less than $50k in Silicon Valley [...]
I made $55K last year with an extra month of pay as a Christmas bonus.
How much was your Christmas bonus last year? You didn't get one? I'm sorry to hear that. Work harder this year and maybe Santa Trump will drop coal in your stockings.
[...] why should anyone take financial advice from you?
What's more important: the advice or the messenger?

Why would that concern you more?
Nut with a sniper rifle is far more dangerous than a nut with disposable drones.
I would be concerned if you learned to spell...
I'll let my spelt checker know.

I would be more concern if it was a sniper shooting at power transformers.

But keeping celibate surely has nothing to do with Jesus, but more what you look like?
Being celibate is a deliberate decision on how you live your life. It doesn't happen by default.
I had a Slashdot stalker and I responded because I kinda enjoyed the banter, attention, and infamy. I'm curious about your motivations.
I do it pretty much for the same reasons. I also like trolling the trolls.
Are you a Mormon? Or some other kind of religious demented fanatic?
My family were good examples at being bad examples in life. Becoming a Christian in college and moving out of the house was my escape.
None. Because

You once made a comment about everyone else's parent's doing drugs.
Coffee, cigarettes, and premarital/extramarital sex. All very, very bad. What you expect from the 1970's?
The way you are today is a defense reaction to your childhood. And everyone can see it.
ROFL
Right here, you fat stupid fuck.

What'd that reduce your effective hourly rate to, again?
You're asking for the wrong metric.
How many user accounts got deleted for wasting everyone's time for the last two weeks?
Five (correction to my previous comment): cdreimer, criemer, creinner, cremier and fakefuck39.
How's it feel missing out on all the good advice you're offered for free here by your intellectual superiors?
I have no regrets about not being on the Super Size Me diet, the Snickers diet or the 21 Eggs diet.

'I don't practice what I preach, because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to!'
J.R. Bob Dobbs.
Yet you people call me a narcissist. I don't think Trump can outdo Bob.
And by your own admission, he's paid more than you.
Nope.
And by your own admission, he's still making more than you.
Nope.
Because you're a dispatcher.
I was a dispatcher ten years ago when I worked at Google. I'm not talking about then. I'm talking about today.
Microsoft doesn't offer 32- and 64-bit Windows in the same installer like Apple?
Or Microsoft haven't abandoned 32-bit processors as Apple have done in 2014?
Or Microsoft isn't Apple?

Yeah, totally worth it, champ.
