She also has a tweet where she says, "Black people CANNOT be racist against White people. Racism is a position of the oppressor who has the power.".
Sadly, that is not an unheard of definition. I had a college class that used that definition. If you tried to use one that factored in just feelings or beliefs, or just power differences between two individuals, you'd fail that question.
There's almost always some manager around who's short of resources and needs to get some stuff done. Find him and offer up some time.
This is also why many employees wind up with tricked out spreadsheets and word macros. They aren't allowed to script in regular languages, can't run websites, can't run databases. So they make do.

I'd be careful about ssh'ing out or using other outside environments on the company time, though. If they're paying you to be in your chair, they aren't going to like you writing code for people who aren't them at the same time. Get some buy in from your boss on what you want to do.

No one has ever said that it doesn't generate power, just that it's cost ineffective, and requires traditionally generated power in any event to even out the peaks and valleys.
It's Comcast's network, so they should not be forced to put a Netflix server there. And, when they don't, Comcast's customers will punish them. Many will leave -- I did.
If net neutrality is involved the federal government will study the problem, take both sides into account, determine that the market is over-saturated on video anyway, change their opinion based on the new high-bandwidth streaming video PACs, and force in a Netflix server right in time for the IPv6 rollout.
We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts. -- Patrick Moynihan
