And my thesis committee - "Ballistic properties of early 21-century office furniture and of Executive personalities: an exoteric analysis"

On Tequilla 50% chance of hangover 12 hours later, 25% chance of Black eye, 30% chance of break up, 17% chance waking with a stranger

It's another step in trial.

No, it's rife with abuse.
Many programmer are salary, when they shouldn't be. Many are denied OT, even though they are not management. They are expected to be available all the time without compensation, many are worked to exhaustion, regularly.
Funny how when you pay people for there time, suddenly there aren't a lot of last minute emergence that make you stay at work and work 60+ hour weeks.

Coppea.

"Individuals are above the collective,"
That's moronic, and you don't actually believe that even if you think you do. Do you think my right as an individual means I can drive the wrong way down the freeway? dump toxic chemicals into your ground water? cut in front of you in line? PLay music at 140 db at 4 am?

I can go on and on.
It's a balance.

For you? Jan 2000 - June 2000

And your father's knowledge is broader and more accurate than this report's ..... because?

There was certainly a time when wage disparities were truly enormous, though not that big. But the entire premise of this story is that what we knew to be true just ten years ago is now out of date.

I suspect your father was giving you information that was once correct but no longer is.

put every god damn penny you can into a 401k.
Oh, you mean programming wise?

2 decades? More like four. Wages flatlined in the early 70's.

It still raises the question of exactly what you plan to do data-wise that will require 40Gbit Ethernet. While I admit nobody knows what the future holds, we can make reasonable extrapolations. Word and Excel documents aren't going to magically ballon in size. It's highly unlikely you run a 100TB database on your home server. MP3's and even FLAC audio files aren't magically growing in size, and even some new fangled HD audio format an order of magnitude bigger wouldn't stress GigE. Your Internet connection isn't going to be 40Gbit anytime soon (and even if it was, your ISP is unlikely to provide an upstream link that isn't woefully oversubscribed). Netflix 4K streaming already works fine over typical 20Mbit Internet service. And as I stated in earlier posts, even Blu-ray's, which are the higest definition standard media currently available for sale (with no real successor in sight) peak at 40Mbit/sec with average bitrates well below that.

The only conceivable thing that's even remotely close to logical would be uncompressed 4k video editing. And most people do that off high-speed local storage array or, if you're a big boy, a Fibre Channel array. If you've got the need for a FC array at home...well, my hat's off to you. You're unique.

Seriously, unless you plan on having the need to stream uncompressed 4K video to every corner of your house, Cat6A is ridiculous overkill. The average Blu-ray video stream is well under 40Mbit/sec, and that's decent HD for almost anyone. 4K could maybe quadruple that (depends on codec) but you STILL have plenty of bandwidth for something like that in plain Gigabit Ethernet. Hell, you could put perhaps 6-8 4K streams on GigE and still be fine.

And there's really no logic in trying to future-proof your home network for something that's not going to be remotely affordable until maybe 10 years from now (have you priced 10Gbit gear lately???). In that time frame, lots of things can and will change and the likelihood of you still wanting AND being able to use that Cat6A for its original purpose is dubious.

Presumable your 230 would be divided up among the site you visit.
The real problem will be malware that makes it look like you visited a site more often then you actually did.

"Remember how cable subscription you already pay for includes ads in the programming?"
you pay for the service of having the shows piped for you, not for the shows.
Do you think you cable company makes all those shows? The very premise makes NO DAMN SENSE.

We had ON TV in '77, it had commercials. The Soft core porn add on did not have commercials.
Cable TV goes back to the laet 40's and early 50s. They took broadcast channels, and then piped them into areas with pore/no TV reception.

People don't seem to realize that Cable TV has always just shown what was broadcast, and they don't strip commercials.

Now there are some companies that just flat charge you for their channel, and 'stations' business model(HOB et. al.) is pay us, no commercials, but that is NOT the same as providing for a service

Yo are remembering incorrectly. Cable TV was never ad free becasue cable companies have(had) nothing to do with content, only delivery.

ON TV didn't have commercial, but that wasn't cable TV. It was one company, selling on channel AND the service. Literally they installed a cable to your house, then ran it to a box on your TV that had one knob. You tuned your TV to channel 3, then turned the dial from OFF to ON.
