Check Netflix. Most of their H1Bs are making far greater than prevailing wage for their positions.

Ah. Good to know. This is just running on a personal test box. I'll email them, though I think the wave is over anyway. Thanks :)

That's unfortunate. My little 512Mb Linode apparently couldn't handle it. It's back up for the moment. Edit: Scratch that. Resizing to a larger linode now. This got far more traffic than I ever expected it would.

Thanks! I'll look into that.

Yeah, graphing is a thing I'll probably implement. It would be useful to use as a tool when fighting with them. I currently don't account for that. I guess I could ping something always stable like 8.8.8.8 or something as a baseli

EDIT: Well, this got more popular than I ever expected. Resizing the linode now. Should be back up soon. After months of fighting with CableOne about speed and service problems, I decided to finally spice up my website dedicated to their po

My ISP has a poor service record. I made a tool to test how shitty it is(iscableoneshitty.com)

Moving your mouth muscles isn't significantly more manual then moving the finger muscles you used to type this comment. In either case, expending a few neural cycles prior to the action would be beneficial.

Just 2 days ago, I commissioned a work from a local painter. People support artists in many ways. One of those ways is paying to enjoy the things they produce.

You usually pay for this sort of thing based on profit, more or less. In this case, his basis is $0 (his cost to acquire the asset). Were he to sell all of them, his profit is essentially 100%; however, I'm not entirely sure how bitcoi

All of you asking for the transaction ID are incorrigible. The man clearly wants privacy. The kind of privacy that you all opine for every time there's some governmental incursion. Or some startup gets hacked or whatever. Leave the man

lmm: (For some reason your post doesn't have a reply link) These are usually webapps for department-specific needs, and I generally find PHP to be easier. I have a few python things that I use on the backend, as well as a plethora of b

Probably. I'm a pretty poor developer. I'm a sysadmin who sometimes writes PHP apps for work. So, I'll look into PDO. :D

I think it's only a problem if you're using mysql_ instead of mysqli_. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installation-issues-with-php5/ Since mysql_ is being deprecated soon (so they say, maybe PHP6 haha),

A lot of the big distros have transitioned to MariaDB already ( https://mariadb.com/kb/en/distributions-which-include-mariad... ). Debian probably will soon as well, which will trickle down into Ubuntu probably. I

I'll give you your second point. I bought one because I thought it was neat. If I can reduce the size of my wallet, then sure, that's great, but the biggest draw for me is "OOh. That's neat tech, how did they fit it in a

It isn't that it relies on it, per se. You can set it to require authentication with your phone so it can disable itself if it's lost or stolen, but it works just fine without constant connection.

It doesn't. The FAQ says so. But it also says that it's made for the USA market, which is sufficiently large to generate some serious profit. Not everything has to have global reach or impact.

I'm a sysadmin and I write some simple database driven tools for internal use. I wish I could make the owners of the company realize this simple truth. Just because I can make the program, doesn't mean your shitty neighbor's

I had David Flanagan's O'Reilly Jquery Pocket Reference show up, but it was $2.99 vs $8.49. The only other one was a Charles Williams novel which was $2.99 vs $7.99. The deals are a little anemic. A $5 discount just seems weak. As

I've spent some time with this. NB This is my experience on the Android app and the website. In the app, searching is abysmal. There's no way to specify the type of keyword you're searching for, so if it's an author, you

Exactly. When Rise of the Warrior Cop came out, I wanted to pick it up on release day. None of the local bookstores had it in stock, but all were happy to order it for me. It would have taken them all 4-5 business days. I went to Amazon tha

Or you pay them the same, and skip out on benefits as well as payroll taxes and your ROI is much higher.
