And you fell for it. All of you should know that the president doesn't appropriate money for budgets. Congress does.

"We" glad the EU chose you to be their spokesperson...

Let me know if my comparison is inane...

If someone has three beers and jumps in their car, they could:

1. 1. Be arrested, sit in jail overnight, or all weekend
2. 2. Have their license taken on site, with no hearing
3. 3. Have to plead guilty, or hire an attorney that winds up costing about $10,000USD.
4. 4. Have their license suspended for a year or more

If someone is texting and driving, which I would maintain is even more distracting than having three beers in their system:

1. 1. They may have someone honk their horn at them
2. 2. They may get a ticket for $100USD in some states

Don't both of these people have close the same chance of injuring or killing someone?

I was that person. I think you're all forgetting about the fact that the manual didn't contain anything about programming in basic. There was no internet. I remember when I bought my first IBM XT and sat there looking at the C prompt and not knowing what to do. I couldn't do anything until I went to the store and bought a book, of which there weren't many. Learning a new trade is never "easy" so I really don't even know what this rant is about. I disagree with the entire thing. It's never been easier for someone with the drive to write code that actually does something and looks good at the same time.

Agreed, along with the competitor that likely paid them to do this in the first place.

Why did you buy from Walmart?

Don't confuse conservatism with religion. The two are only existentially related. If someone believes the writings in the Bible, then it clearly states that Homosexuality is a sin. In that case, they feel they can’t just choose to approve of it. As a conservative, and capitalist, I say, do whatever you want. If a homosexual couple wanted me to produce them a web site, then I’d give them a quote. From a personal and political agenda, I have not concerns about how someone find happiness.

I think after trying to work with Cloudflare, that they are not interested in helping with anything that they can't bill for.

Oh boy, that's so smart! Why didn't I think of that? We were (are) getting bombarded by thousands of SPAM e-mails a day to our personal and business e-mail addresses. Cloudflare was listed as the DNS for some of the site links in the e-mails. When I contacted them, they said they forwarded my complaint to the host. Done. They specialize in protecting websites from attacks like DOS etc., but in addition, they also provide yet another layer of protection to spammers and other site. I've reported this to everyone I could, but nothing happens. Do you really think law enforcement is sitting around like on Law and Order waiting for us to call so they can jump right on it? I don't think most people think that waiting for a few years to see if anything happens is effective. We need to know who these assholes are so that we can file complaints with the hosts, networks and their employers if need be. Companies in the chain need to have a mechanism, even if it's lame, to help handle this.

There is plenty of competition. If you're hung up on wanting to tell people you went to such and such school, then suck it up and pay the tab.
