Shouldn't that be the perfect defense? "Your Honor, how could my clients have possibly watched a movie, illegally or otherwise, with Charter as their ISP?"
I did some consulting at a start-up a few years back and had an off-the-record talk with their recruiter. She said that they preferred to hire younger folks because 50 somethings typically have a much harder time working under a 25 year-old supervisor.
I've been hearing a lot of talk about how applying Title II rules from 1936 nowadays is a bad thing because technology has changed so much. But in the arena of gun laws, applying a law from the late 18th century to modern assault rifles and the like is considered to be completely reasonable.
So when we're talking about net neutrality, taking a law from the 1930's and applying to today's technology is bad, but if we're talking about gun control doing the same thing with an 18th century amendment is somehow good? Pick one, conservatives.
No shit! Given the resources of both agencies, it would be trivial for them to come into my workplace and abscond with out signing keys. Just like with lawyers and the business world, a bottomless well of money will typically get you whatever it is that you're looking for.
I thought I was losing my mind, there was an odd voice telling me to start an IT company coming from behind my testing server. Thankfully it turned out to/. with an autoplay video. Seriously, this is not a Geocities site. Act like professionals make disable the fscking autoplay!
Not necessarily in that order. Also, I have married friends that have replaced sleep with offspring, and fucking with more fighting. Apparently there is wiggle room.
Mostly it's due to convenience. I have a nice little satchel where my tablet lives. My work provided laptops are powerhouses, but weigh several kilograms. My 8 inch tablet weighs a little over 300 grams and its heft is barely noticeable. But again, for most of my work I simply need an SSH client and at worst, a Python interpreter.
You can call tablets 'toys' all that you want. The undeniable truth is that for some of us they are essential business tools. When I'm on vacation or out-of-the-office, I am still contractually obligated to maintain SLAs. Having a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard is far more reasonable when I'm overseas than lugging a laptop around. I'm not writing novels, I'm not writing much code, but I am doing a ton of server maintenance.
Our programmers have recently been porting our business apps for 8" Android tablets for our engineers to use in the field. They're far cheaper to replace than a laptop, they can be locked down by IT, and they give us a nice target to hit development-wise. I've always bristled when people claim that tablets are just toys, they can be quite useful for those with a little imagination.
I'll second the Pebble. The latest update gives it most of the same abilities as Android Wear devices. It's nice being able to archive or spamify emails the second that I get them. You can setup tasker for automation. I also use Pushover and Pushbullet a ton. If one of my servers goes down, a backup fails, or I get a hack attempt noticed by fail2ban, I get notified at an instant. I live in a pretty cold climate and it's nice to be able to dismiss messages without digging my phone out through multiple layers and taking my gloves off to get to the notifications bar.
Well thank goodness we don't have an overreaching government that drops the "national security" card at the drop of a hat. Otherwise we could end up seeing some really silly shit going down to fight a (mostly) fictional enemy.
And this (extremely insightful) explanation is why so many United Statsians are so terrified of our own country. We are seemingly just a few votes away from a tyranny of the vocal religious minority. Give a fundamentalist a few thousand nuclear missiles and the most expensive army the world has ever known, and brown people around the world start to get nervous. But we have to do it, because terrorists, or freedom, or something!

Let them get obese, alcoholic, and watch the katrashians on TV. That's what they deserve.
Isn't that a little harsh? I mean I cringed when the tortured Picard, but they did eventually release Bajor back to its rightful owners.
Drill a small hole into a fire-resistant safe where your power and SCSI/IDE/SATA/USB/ETH cables go, then put your drives in there.
For extra safety, block up any gaps around the cables with newspaper or alcohol soaked cloth.
And don't be afraid to get in there with a lit match or a lighter to ensure that you have everything patched tight.

I hate following your rambling, Anonymous Coward. Sometimes you get extremely schizophrenic and contradict yourself!
If you want to make an Apples to apples comparison (pun intended) when talking about jobs
Was the "jobs" pun intended as well?
Double pun, if we add in the pornography industry.
* You'd.
I was hoping your be the ones to bail us out when the U.S. went full fascist. Alright, New Zealand, all eyes are on you. No pressure!
Everybody knows the best way to remove crud is with acid.
Life: Fight, Eat, Fuck, Sleep
It doesn't get any simpler...

with only 5% of the world's population, the U.S. can only expect about 5% of great programmers to be born here
The vast majority of excellent programmers were born before electricity was harnessed. What a waste!
Also, you'd be surprised at how much police work is shooting unarmed black people and finding out what they did later.

NewEgg and half.com both accept BTC. Pretty much everything in my data closet at home is from NewEgg.

It's been my experience that most self-professed Christians worship money and power far more than they worship any deity.

He seems to think the laws didn't apply to him.
So his next career will be on Wall Street?
