It does actually matter because you're paying for the clicks. I, for one, sure as hell don't want to be paying for bullshit clicks even if I still make a profit.

Haha, cynical but true. Reminds me of this: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Free-State-govt-We-pa... (R40m is ~$3,211,291)

Well, to clarify (seeing how I can't edit my post) - if I was in OP's position that's what my concern would be. As I live in the UK I'd have to be careful about hosting things like BDSM pictures as the porn laws here are

yeah, it gets frustrating when you're bombarded with calls by them as well as those PPI/whatever robocalls. I've cancelled my donations to several charities because of their harassment and their pushiness makes me wonder if t

Images of BDSM is illegal in some countries, like the UK, IIRC.

Hah, #1, #4, and #5 happened at my very first job. I was young and naive.

Yeah, it does sound weird but it does happen in the UK :)

Mysterious Cities of Gold? Damn, twp, you just hit me hard in the nostalgia :)

Happened to me a few years back but I caught it early on and quit before it became really fucking bad. Still, it's not a 'pit' I'd like to fall into again.

http://www.jobsite.co.uk/ Are you focusing on dev or ops? Don't really know how in-demand devs are right now but sysadmin/devops guys (esp with cloud and automation experience) are. If you want to go the contracti

For me it's http://www.jobsite.co.uk . The contracts are onsite, normally 3-6 months, sometimes rolling. Devs are popular with digital media agencies because the projects are short term. However, I don't know how in-dem

What city are you in? It really depends on your location. For example, I'm in London and when I started contracting I simply uploaded my CV to a job site and my phone exploded with calls from recruiters because the demand for contracto

It is a direct rival to Splunk :) They do very similar things however IMHO Splunk is the better solution right now. There are LaaS companies that use ELK if you need a cloud solution - Loggly is the first one that springs to mind and I thin

Many people did leave the country - there was a large diaspora in the 2000s to Canada, NZ, Australia, and the UK. Many others wanted to but couldn't because they couldn't get visas or they simply couldn't afford it. I was onl

Okay, here's the deal. Overall SA has a really big crime problem but it's not a complete warzone. It is heavily dependant on where you live. For example, Cape Town is statistically safer than Johannesburg and the area I lived in C

I'm seriously considering it. The fact that Digital Ocean offers FreeBSD means I get to try it out beforehand which is a bonus.

Haha, yeah I was thinking the same thing. SA, like most countries, is too diverse to be able to make such blanket statements.
