It seems like you are missing the OP's point. Good programmers code all the time *regardless* of whether the nature of their job lends time to it. They *do* jump into it in their off-time.
The fact that you haven't is a strong indicator that programming is not for you.
Actually, it is very much an appropriate use of "sic". The only problem here is that sic doesn't mean quite what you think it does.
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic
The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus it had been written") added immediately after a quoted word or phrase (or a longer piece of text), indicates that the quotation has been transcribed exactly as found in the original source, complete with any erroneous spelling or other nonstandard presentation.

if you live where there are few people, you must either pay a premium for dedicated services or go without.
this isn't new. unless I've missed something, the telcos have no obligation to lose money servicing a handful of remote locations.
if you chose to live in the middle of nothing, you probably are not surprised by the lack of off broadway shows, public transportation, and a wide variety of other things that require a certain population to turn a profit. why should telco services be any different.
ah. suppose nothing can be done about that then.
cheers.
Why so angry? I've noticed there are some who react this way, never understood it but would like to.
losing a bitcoin works a lot like losing the paper bills used in some other currencies, although its easy (and perfectly fine) to copy or back up your bitcoin wallet, whereas most older systems frown on "backing up" paper currency.
the number will indeed go lower than 21 million due to loss. there are quite a few lost already, so I suppose there will never actually be 21 million in existence at once.
it doesn't make a real difference in the big picture. even if 99% of all bitcoins were lost, we'd only effectively be losing one decimal place.
the people who are 40+ now, sure they probably suck each others dry, dusty balls. but when *i'm* 40 i'll be all kinds of awesome.
"For people used to Windows CE devices not really."
thank you, good to know I'm not the only one who still remembers. wince was not awesome, but it had 3rd party apps and a small but capable community of devs releasing good software, copy/paste, multitasking, a sort of (kinda) usable web browser, a very usable push email client, and a whole host of other things that added up to an.. acceptable compromise I guess is the way to describe it. It worked, it did a lot of stuff that was previously much harder to do mobile, and feature for feature it far outclassed the original iPhone (except the browser). Later generations of the iphone took things farther, but I very clearly remember reading with great interest and then playing with an iphone and deciding "meh, thats neat but my win mobile device is much more useful".
"A friend of mine teaches electronic media"
poorly.
If you friend cannot devise a solution to this simple task using the very tools they claim to be teaching, they are woefully under qualified. Do the students a favor and get this person away from the educational system ASAP.
apparently the entire parking lot is marked "Handicapped Only" so that everyone can benefit from the inspiration and insight that Jobs himself realized by parking in handicapped areas.
"Assuming this will not be my day job, that the local populace is rather poor, and that because of the hills, line-of-sight service will be difficult, how could I set myself up as an ISP?"
So.. you aren't going to put much time into it, your customers won't spend much money on it, but you've got the worst possible geography *AND* to top it off you don't even know how an ISP works.
Seriously? WTF are you thinking?
Take a clue from all the other people that don't offer broadband in your area.
it happens every 4 years, no big deal. wish the people that get upset about what the republocrats are doing would quit assuming the other republocrats were the solution. we've given them both plenty of chances, and they've both sucked hard and long.
your google must be different than mine, clicking your link I get 5 of the first 6 results = sign in use
