Oh I wouldn't even entertain a contract position...

I had this while back...I was working for company doing DR/Replication scripting...I was about 2/3 way through the job and they decided that "they could finish the job themselves" and graciously released me from my contract...

They called me back about 2 weeks later, at which point I quoted them 400% of my original rate, payable in advance, to finish the work. ;-) They were fucking LIVID..

Of course, they didn't re-book me, but the rumor mill told me that they brought it in about a year behind schedule and at about 2x the budget they had allocated...

Helpful hint - do documentation LAST. If they fire you before it's done, they get SQUAT. I didn't even have passwords written down for them.

If I were offered that deal I'd politely tell them to go fuck themselves with a cactus.

I haven't had to report to an office for more than a pizza party since 2011, I have no intention of starting now.

Sadly the latency involved in transmitting and receiving from orbit makes many terrestrial applications fail... The speed of light is a fixed constant.

When gaming, we can always see the idiots running on starlink...the lag is visible and makes them sitting ducks.. ;-)

If a company lays someone off in favor of AI, employees should ask for at LEAST a 20% bump to come back... make it fucking painful for them.

No. Next fucking question. I'd rather data centers have brown-outs than schools.

LOL....my ADHD has gotten much worse with age... "Focus" is a fond memory. ;-}

I literally just got the notifiation from Verizon today that IPV6 was now supported by their network... Ubiquiti asked me if I wanted to enable it, my response is basically not until I understand it...

Then again, it took me 20 years to really understand IPv4, so it's likely I'm going to be decaying before I get v6. ;-)

County with 37 datacenters can go fuck itself with a cactus.

here come the brownouts motherfuckers...

Probably true...but I just don't see it taking off...

Oi...well that sucks ass. A good idea, badly conceptualized I guess.

it would obviously involve code updates for compability, and I don't pretend to know how it would work long term, but it makes the most sense.. By prepending the zeros, you expand the number of networks dramatically.

I would guess that no matter what, everything gets an upgrade... But I think this might make it more seamless.
