No... People being stupid and crashing into other people will clog our Highways.

and apparently over your head.

Yeah, the problem was I wasn't getting paid enough to get the fuck out. Thankfully and sadly a family member died. I was able to pay off my debts and move. Best decision I ever made in my entire 30 year life. I now have a 45k salary job with full benefits, payed time off the works. The company isn't huge, the employees are friendly and my commute into work is 30 minutes from the house I bought outright for $85,500. Good luck doing that in Cali.

This is just another sign that California is circling the drain. For example, my last job in the state I was doing IT Admin work for a decently sized company and was making $11 and hour. In addition to this I was told they only wanted me to work 35 hours a week so that they wouldn't have to pay me any benefits. At the end of my first year when I found that the company as a whole had made 752 Million, a whopping 89 Million more than the previous year and 149 more than the year before that, I asked for a 25 cent raise and was laughed at. Seriously. I was then asked if I thought I was worth that much of a raise to which I responded: yes. yes I am. I got that raise after my third year with the company but by then I didn't care anymore. The problem is that shit rolls down hill. California as a state imposes way to many taxes and regulations on business. If you decided you were going to try and start a business in California you might as well just flush your money down the toilet instead. It's a quicker way to get rid of it. All of these restrictions hurt the companies bottom line and they have to make that up somewhere and that means either paying you minimum wage instead of what everyone else makes for your job, or finding someone from from out of country who will do the job for minimum wage. Thankfully I moved to Washington and within 5 months got a contract job paying literally twice as much per hour and at 40 hours a week no less. And to top that off the job was actually easier. I swear the only reason people live in Cali is for the weather. If you can count perpetual sun and annual forest fires as "weather"

Actually you might be surprised how amazing it is. I remember a statistician in high school telling me a story about those stupid guess how many beans are this jar deals. Apparently, if you gather as many answers as possible and find the average, it will be accurate within 2-5 plus or minus. Obviously the larger your sample the more accurate your results. So while I am not surprised that humans can be more intelligent in large groups, I still find it amazing.

Well there's one printer that will be out of paper for a while. I don't like my paper trays to "moan".

You could use https://secure.slicify.com/ to sell some of that processing power for real $.

Sorry after reading t-mobile's response, I felt the above Tron reference was appropriate.

Or better yet, just not going to those sites at all.

we were using ATT DSL at our old house... They had a soft cap of 50GB a month which I would constantly go over. Every GB past that number they would charge $10. We were paying $50 for this service and quite often I would run up the bill to $180+. In that scenario I wouldn't open my WiFi even if I could impose a user bandwidth cap. Maybe if I was somehow able to paywall it.

That would be idiotic if they made their data collection server a public facing one.

One byte at a time.

Spot on

BFDB = Big fucking database.

IMHO the article was TL;DR and IANAL so TINLA but OMFG. AFAIK the FBI CRAT. Hence they made a BFDB so they could tell their employees to RTFM.
