What if they were driving through the airport in Gibraltar?

uh, Chicago is on Central time, so 2PM Washington (Eastern) time = 1PM Chicago time, so 2PM+2ms Central time = 3PM + 2ms Eastern time...

Agreed. And most of the time it is hard to get productive work done due to hyper restrictive security that is aimed at protecting against near mythical disgruntled employee INTERNAL threats while the more likely EXTERNAL threats are ignored. Really, if you have created an atmosphere where you cannot trust your own employees (and even trust them less than non-employees) you don't have much of a viable workplace anyway.

Does this look like the map of Middle Earth?

The option I wanted was "Has no stated cap, but effectively does cap during heavy traffic". None of the options really encapsulates this.

Yes, but you are a 'job hopper' with a 'contractor mentality' whatever that means (presumably it is a negative term of derision)... even if you worked for years as an employee as well. So what if you have gobs of experience at more job roles than anyone around? To recruiters it counts for nothing. What it really shows is that you are super adaptable, able to run a business and market yourself and train yourself and take care of your own travel logistics while pleasing a paying customer every single hour with the confidence that you can find future work in spite of having no job security and working under the reality that you can literally be let go on 5 minutes notice from a job thousands of miles away from home. Yet it counts for nothing to salaried people that don't have to produce each hour to doing the exact same job they've done for years. Strange world.

Either all code is actually functional, or it isn't. If it all is, then only the order of execution is obfuscated. If it all is not, then the obfuscation also comes from having a lot of extra code or monkey-puzzle which seems like the appropriate Ted Sturgeon word that comes to mind. (But you don't have to execute these sentences in this order.)

Some kind of Moon is a Harsh Mistress reference is needed here.

Kickstarter gets 5% of the money if goals are met. So $165K in their pockets.

Microdots could store maybe 10 MB per printed page.

Yeah, such BS. I went to my agent to get coverage for some jewelery that was stolen last month and they wouldn't write me a policy for stuff I didn't have. And then they said they wouldn't sell me a policy on my car that was junked last year or my house that burned down two years ago. How ridiculous that you can't buy insurance to pay for bad things that happened already. Such BS. What the heck is insurance for anyway if not to pay me for pre-existing conditions?

and how is 'encryption' defined? Would an XOR qualify?

Wrong! States had a choice, take money/accept federal controls/create exchanges OR let the feds create exchanges. Both are valid, allowable choices. Hence no derailing, no stonewalling. The real irony is that many states had great health care plans for low income people, but had to close them down thanks to Obamacare. Too bad the Democrats wanted to create a bloated, byzantine, idiotic plan and pass it through chicanery and corrupt bribes on their own ("deeming" it passed, "corn husker kickback", etc.) instead of using Republican ideas. I love it when people conveniently ignore the facts...

They didn't want to enforce DOMA (formerly the law of the land), and Immigration laws either. It is called selective enforcement.
