It's more like paying a toll to cross a bridge. I pay in one direction, Netflix pays in the other direction.

Who knows? Maybe it is cheaper to pay Comcast directly for access than it is to pay the various telcos.

before you spout off about "all but one lane", you should probably look at a map. The whole thing was about one tiny town's tiny access road to the bridge. The mainline bridge was fine.

If you can't make the code to read a sensor and write to an actuator bug free, you should not be writing code for anything.

I hardly think that it would take an actual competent developer more than a day to write code to the effect of "read pedal" "write throttle". It is half as complicated as a stupid joystick.

Since when can't you do anything to prevent bugs? How complicated does a throttle control have to be? Read the value from the pedal, send the value to the throttle. I would expect any high school student to be able to implement this in BASIC or LOGO.

Software doesn't have to have bugs. There is no reason on god's green earth why an accelerator routine should ever be susceptible to something as stupid as a stack overflow. We should have higher expectations.

Perhaps. But there is also the possibility that not employing that bigshot VP would mean the company performs worse and those burger flippers would never have had a job to start with, or make even less money.

With IPV6, each client can have multiple addresses. You can have your global address, but you can also have internal only addresses. You can even NAT ipv6 if you really want to.

Plus, you really shouldn't be hard coding anything that has to do with public IP addresses.

What kind of accommodations can you get for full time minimum wage work in your country? In the US, you can absolutely support yourself on minimum wage. You will have to live with roommates and eat inexpensive food and probably not have much left over for luxuries. Minimum wage is about $1000 a month after taxes (which you probably will get refunded anyway). $500 for your share of rent, $100 for a monthly bus pass, $100 for your cell phone, leaving $300 for food and entertainment and savings. It isn't pretty or fun, but it is certainly doable.

There are only two signals you can send to your cable company: giving them money or not giving them money. When you keep giving them money, you are telling them that you approve of their behavior and wish them to continue.

Continuing to pay them for a service you don't think is worth the money is utter stupidity.

That is silliness. You could use the same logic to say that the public shouldn't have the right to bear arms, because in 50 years, some future Hitler could confiscate all those guns. Not to mention that all dictator-types can circumvent any law they want, simply by disregarding it, or getting the people to happily demand the old law's repeal.

Exactly. The paranoid reasoning for this is that: turn off all the proletariat's phones, leaving the network intact for the privileged civil service to perform this functions.

I though Under Armor was just t-shirts and whatnot that people wear so they can feel "tactical".

My stupid little village can't even keep the streetlights running. I'll be goddamned if I want them playing with fiber optics.

Then cancel your service.
