Must be taken at same time every day, and some other medications (antibiotics are one) can screw things up with them.

Sure, get a BA in gen studies or gen liberal arts or gen science or whatever. Then if you still want a tech job, get an AS degree from a community college - all you'll probably need are the actual tech classes. Pick up a cert or two. Or just build a portfolio and show you know your stuff.

Having written CGI programs using Visual Basic (4.0) I can say that yes, I am truly glad that PHP was created. For my mostly non-programming job I use a lot of it to automate tasks to make less work for me.

Same way you do for just about any other language - don't trust any input given. Check it for type, check it for how it was delivered (POST vs GET vs reading from file/stdin/whatever), check it for a (sane) value, deal with unexpected or missing values in a sane way, etc. When using SQL stuff use PDO or mysqli class/functions to use prepared statements.

Why not require a .gov TLD as well?

I think that what drives the "gotta get it done yesterday" attitude with the game market is either the marketing company who printed a deadline months ago (coming next june!) for desktop/console games, or in the mobile game market the need to be first to put it out there just in case some other group is working on a similar game or to crank out a different version of the same game (see the Angry Birds franchise)

Heck, you need funding or a lot of free time (and money in the bank to pay your own personal bills) to just get something to the point you can show it to someone else to find out if it is worth continuing to make it good enough to seek funding to do the marketing, etc.

I had an idea based on a problem I saw here at work, and I know that a good solution would have kept me comfortable for a looong time. Unfortunately, I would need to take 6 months to a year to develop it well enough to even begin trying to sell, so I'd need enough $ to cover my paycheck, my health insurance, insurance for my wife and kids, etc. Sure, I got a skeleton of the idea working by staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning, but between working full time, teaching a couple of classes as adjunct, taking a class here and there, trying to be involved with my family, it just won't work.

So here I am 15 years later - my idea still has value, I've not seen a product to fix the issue, and I *still* can't do much of anything with it.

Oh well.

Dunno... assuming he's healthy there are 2 kidneys, 2 lungs, a liver that can be used for 2 or 3 partial transplants, the heart, eyes, etc....

By having half the courses offered in those areas required for the STEM students as gen-ed stuff.

Too much of a pain to do all of that, at least for me. I simply route the various ad hosts I find annoying to 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file, and enjoy.

Price is tolerable. That is actually what showtime costs me on top of my DishTV subscription. If I could get HBO, Starz, etc. in the same manner, I could in theory drop the Dish stuff and just consume the same content I normally get via the streaming service.

So... my fence has been damaged by DUI drivers a bunch of different times in the past 15 years. Also had a nice oak tree killed by one.

Can I sue Ford, Chevy, and Budwiser?

No....

So these victim families sued, lost, and part of the loosing is "looser pays winners court costs". Which is an idea I've seen championed a bunch here on slashdot....

Having a restraining order, felony conviction, conviction of a crime would could get you a sentence of more than 1 year, and having a misdemeanor conviction of domestic violence all make you a prohibited buyer and the NCIC check *should* catch it.

That is the 4473 form, which the buyer fills out when purchasing from a licensed dealer.

Face to face private transactions are legal where I am (and in many states) but as a personal thing if a buyer doesn't have a CCW permit then I pay the $20 to transfer it to them thru a local FFL.

No, the NFA of '34 enacted the tax stamp for full auto, short barrel rifle/shotguns, destructive devices, and "any other weapon" weapons.

Funnily enough, when Mr Miller's case went to the SCOTUS, the government was planning on arguing that the 2nd protects arms as would be issued to the average infantryman - and at the time, that meant a bolt action ('03A3/A4) or Garand, so the full auto Thompson and sawed off shotgun Mr Miller was convicted of having weren't protected by the 2nd.

What is issued to the average infantry today? Select fire, short rifles (the M4 has a 14" barrel - 2" under what is legal for a civilian to own w/o the $200 tax stamp). Oh, and short shotguns for door breaching. And suppressors.

What is really funny is that in England, etc. where super strict gun laws exist, suppressors aren't regulated, and they are considered to be "required" to be polite and limit the noise. Here, they are considered "evil" and some states out right ban them and the Feds put a oppressive tax on 'em.

And if you are willing to be in the business (ie, get a FFL) and pay the SOT (special occupation tax) you can own post-86 dealer samples. Of course, you need a friendly law enforcement agency to provide a demo request letter, but after that it is easy.
