We drop mySQL long ago due to fact that Oracle as a whole sucks! I truly believe they really don't care about their users. pgSQL is the way to go. Still and always will be stable with by far more options than what mySQL will ever dream about.
Coding standards makes quite a bit of difference. If I'm going to review the code you've supplied me with I'd better be able to clearly read and understand what you are doing. I'm a big believer / follower in the FIG PSR rules to follow.
Oh no, the local government is going to track you. Wake up, they've been doing it since the day you were born and given that little piece of paper called a Birth Certificate. Then you paid the state to track you even more when you got a Drivers License and you paid even more when you bought a car and had to buy a license plate. Heck, you post alone is probably being tracked now too. Watch you, they're coming for you next!
Who care's, when you're driving down the road and a cop passes you, you might think for a second did he just try and track me? But 2 minutes later you won't even remember having that thought. Not to mention, if something did happen to your car IE: getting stolen. I would think you'd want as much help as possible as to where your car might be located OR even better, where it's heading!
Now if the public had access to this data, sure I'd probably be upset then. But not over this...
I personally use a Logitech MX Revolution

I highly recommend the Hard plate mouse pad too made by RocketFish, I use the "Control" side of the pad. If it gets dirty, you can simply wash it off.

The mouse doesn't require batteries, has a recharge stand and the battery life is wonderful. I can go at least 1-2 weeks at 8 hours of coding each without having to worry about putting it on the charger. If I do have to charge it, no more than 15-20 minutes for a full charge and I'm ready again. I haven't had any issues with any operating system either, no scuffing issues, etc...
I would really like to see the comments based on call centers for the Internet industry. When most people think about Call Centers they thing of the PC world, but what about those who do Web Hosting or Domain Registrations. It's a completely different type of assistance and most things can be resolved in a matter of minutes. Therefore leaving the customer with a much higher sense of satisfaction.

How do you help someone who is actively throwing their whole life away to play a game?
I do play WoW but I do not consider myself addicted to it in any way. But I once played Everquest for 5.5 years and that is one game I could say I was addicted to. It took some guts but I basically had to give away my items, cancell my account, and finally I threw away my cd's + keys. Once the trash man came by to pick it all up I knew it was all over. I have since found that I enjoy my work and I picked up a programming hobby to keep myself busy where-as I would normally be found playing games. Although I play WoW, I limit myself to 2-3 or sometimes 4 hours a day but not until I finish whatever had to be done before hand: IE, work, dishes, shower, etc...
Try and get yourself out with friends, go see a movie, or have a sit down dinner. If all else, go play some old console games that will bore you =)
This is such old news. Myself and co-workers had discovered this months ago on accident. I'm suprised how long it took others to finally speak up about it.

I got bored just reading this post.

Would love to see this in person!

Idiocracy is upon us!
Hope they don't patch World of Warcraft on Tuesdays... Oh Noes, file sharing...
