There are entire EU countries that do not respect European laws and not many care to care ... I however believe that Facebook probably does .....

You can build a client-server architecture on the server. E.g. a SOAP server with the DB connection and a SOAP client+web on the visitor facing side.
You will need security on the outer edge too, but you gain an extra level of security by separating the outer edge from the DB. This way you can also handle security where you know: server application (SOAP).... this could be C, JAVA, PHP, whatever else you want, while the web can be HTML/JS/AJAX with or without PHP.....

You can also scale by adding more clients or servers based on loads ..... of course you cause an overhead this way ......

And that is why I do not eat at restaurants (maybe 2-3 times a year when I have absolutely no other option) ... then I go with salad, nothing cooked, no dressing... I assume that most of their products are GMO, flavor enhanced and are dipped in MSGs ....

You can keep pest away with plant based safe "pesticides". A local hydro farmer uses a mix of garlic and lemon on lettuce. Not a bug, not a byte on his produce...

I am strictly vegan for 5 years, vegetarian for 20, 95% raw. I support local farmers where I buy 90%+ of my food, 100% of that 90+ % is organic.

I started my own hydroponic garden where I use no pesticides or herbicides, but the nutrients for the first run are not organic certified (will move in that direction after my first few successful harvests).

The future is in organically grown hydroponic vegetables. You can grow them in a vertical garden on tall as your structure can support. With natural or artificial light, in a green-house, tropical tent or just outside.

Land is destroyed by oil based fertilization, the use or herbicides and pesticides. Number one however is animal farming. It is not just cruel, but its environmental effect is devastating.

Thought I would chip in .... I am sure there are others who are interested in gardening and are environmentally conscious = vegan or at least vegetarian....

I cannot watch TV anymore. There are very-very few programs I would actually watch but those few have so many commercials and so frequently that i am literally unable to watch them.

When my wife switched providers a month ago I left my home office's TV unconnected. I would actually prefer not having TV (channels). The TV is a good device for games, movies and I use a 40'' as a monitor as well ...

Where do you put those in the statistics who are drinking a hot coffee to get sober while talking on the phone to a friend to put the address into the GPS while being punched in the nose by the passenger who is happy about the touchdown/goal/whatever he just saw on the TV built-into the dashboard?

Sounds unrealistic? I saw my mother in law trying to take notes on a paper notebook, talking on the phone while trying to turn .... that was the point where I warned her to shift down because we were going 25km/h in 4th gear. Minutes before we were going 40 in 1st gear..... she was on a different phone call.... I remember her getting a hands-free set for Xmas after that. She used it twice, then it ran out of batteries :O ... And she is a teacher/business woman ... now try to explain this to your average idiot whose hobby is "shooting shit" in the desert/forest/etc ....

Shifting with a manual transmission (or paddle-shifters and tiptronic-style clutch pedal-less devices) IS PART of the driving.

In fact I absolutely hate automatic transmission because I feel I am missing some control over the vehicle. I also ride enduro bikes where braking is many times just using your clutch/gears. If you drive sporty/dynamic and have a manual car (with hopefully RWD as FF cars are shit for anything but winter driving maybe) then you already are using these techniques.

Automatic is for the people who want to talk on the phone, eat, watch a movie, text etc ... generally people in the Americas. Just compare the cup holder sizes in US/Euro models .. if the Euro model has one at all (My BMW has NONE, my Ford (Euro model) has 4, none of them can hold the smallest Clean Canteen... at best a small cup of coffee paper cup...

Now the question is: should I let the asshole talking on the phone in front of me and then slow down to 10kms/h before every turn, or risk the person behind me letting him/her in and then they might crash me from behind...

High risk businesses have a lot of attacks. Throw-away servers get some malware here and there. These are next-next-next install boxes with default LAMP and wordpress/joomla/etc .... Most of the attacks are unsuccessful, but they leave traces, sometimes binaries uploaded here and there.

BTW I program full time now and let the network people deal with this kind of stuff. :)
