No, your situation isn't rare. It's just what happens when you get older. You have a lot less interest in video games. By the way, I think you mean point and shoot, not DSLR.

Simular situation here. Working for a small company where you feel like you make a difference. Could move or commute to a bigger city to work for a bigger company for double, but when you already have everything you want - satisfying job with excellent work life balance, nice home, stuff ... - there is little desire to find bigger bucks.

1) there are no rules. 2) when you better not do anything remotely distracting otherwise you are a hypocrite In fact, if you are doing anything other than keeping your hands at 10 and 2 and only have your eyes on anything other than whats in front of you or your mirrors, then you are doing something "dangerous". Please tell me exactly where to draw the line as to when an activity while driving is too big of a risk. I think voice texting is a small risk that I would hardly consider dangerous.

Loose your job and you'll see what it does for you. It's a great place to find people you use to work with to network a new position. Also, its a great job lead source, there are recruiters looking for people on the site all the time.

Really? I enjoy Ubuntu. I would recommend it in a hot second. There is so much community support out there you can google any problem and find a walk through. It's popular enough that most new application target it to make sure it works.

Well I can reduce one for you. Bootstrap isn't a cms. Its a UI framework (all css and javascript) that helps you get up and running quickly. The other CMS's are fine if you already know them and can work within their scope of how they intend people use them. You tend to start fighting the system soon as you do something out of their examples. If you have a small and modest website why do you think you need a cms?

Download a file that looks like pirated material but isn't. Maintain the proof. Get the fine. Take ISP to small claims court. Since they're a corporation they have to hire a lawyer and there out a lot of money.

I worked with someone that was in the same boat as you. By the time I met him he was with the company for 5 years, and at that time he was a lead developer. So it can happen. That persons coding skills weren't the biggest asset to the company either. He had a really good work ethic and could organize work and teams well.
Here is a tip. Get your hands dirty with code right away. You need to know if its something that you really like doing, because if you're not passionate about it you'll give up soon. Your nights and weekends need to be filled with research. So, pick a project, and start. See if you can find a mentor or maybe someone at slashdot can suggest a good project/tutorial to get you started.

I would happily give that up than work with my two options, Comcast and ATT. I'm sure the competition drills deep into my personal life anyways.

Typical comment from an AC

That's crazy. Last time I heard a firefox version number joke was right after I fell off my dinosaur and into my wooden underwear. Good job, I'm glad to see you spiced up that dead horse with a few other dead horses. That should bring an old joke back to life.

What UI issue? Its a web browser, it has tabs, forward and back button. If something changes slightly who cares. For me it never crashes and runs fast. I never run into memory issues -- it seems to use the same as chrome. Also, since when is a frequent upgrade cycle a bad thing.
