    N/A: open business wifi and letters of copyright infringement

    Untangle Web Filter Lite app for the NG appliance is free. The full Web Filter app for the NG appliance is $270 a year subscription for more robust features. You'd have to assess what the differences are. Again, there are hundreds of these. This is just one example that seems to be very...

    N/A: open business wifi and letters of copyright infringement

    Good advice there, genius. These things are very real and have very real legal implications. So when the FBI shows up, and wants to know who's downloading child pornography over the open wi-fi, you gonna shut the door in their face.....?

    N/A: open business wifi and letters of copyright infringement

    You need a web filter. Check Untangle, et al (there are hundreds). The appliance is $700-ish. Barracuda is another. You can block by categories (torrents, etc). You're very generous, BTW. You are also likely out of compliance with your ISP on how you are allowing access to your service...

    Rasberry Pi and machine monitoring

    There's lots of info online re: using PI and Arduino devices as simple PLCs. There are open source and cheap $$ projects for the devices, for the OPC to wire it together, and for backend collection / analytics. Look at CODESYS as an example. I'll extend on your "I just want it done" with...

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    A dozen or so people extolling the evils of Socialism, and a few people who see if differently. Not much of a debate? Kinda the norm on POA. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    Sure. Let's take the term insurance out of it and simply call it coverage. Eliminates the confusion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    Sorry. I don't see it as a problem. Never will. I see it as a shared responsibility to make coverage available across the board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    HIPAA still had conditions by which exclusions could be made. ACA closed these. More importantly, ACA placed restrictions on charging more for pre-existing plans. Sorry...I'm very much pro-ACA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    I'll stop calling it insurance, and call it "coverage" for semantics sake. Better? Regardless, keep writing checks. I will too, except I won't ***** about it nearly as much as you do..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    That's insurance, by definition. You are sharing in a risk pool. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Credit Card Security Chip

    When I was in Germany this year, the servers at restaurants brought a portable CC terminal to the table for me to enter my PIN code to complete my CC transaction. This is how it should be here.

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    The Portability Act covered you recent group plan to new group plan. If you wanted to retire early or self employ, no go. No one was going to sell you a policy that was affordable or without restrictions. Most state risk pools required individuals to be without insurance for a period of time...

    "if you like your doctor we don't give a ****."

    No, but I expect to get insurance when the house is rebuilt. I expect to get insurance when I get a replacement car. But when I get a new heart valve, no coverage after that if you switch employers or retire early? Pre-ACA, not so much. Spare us the medical welfare BS. I sincerely hope that...

    Items to bring on a long cross country flight

    Vacuum seal travel toiletries, meds, clean underwear, etc. in a vacuum seal bag, and keep them in the airplane for those times when a day trip turns in an overnighter. I've broken the seal more than once due to weather / mechanical issues.

    GA Boom or Bust

    The economy has already rebounded for those with good, marketable skills in areas of the country that are more robust. Nursing, IT, etc. You can't find enough employees. Those who refuse to re-skill and/or relocate from Podunkville are often the ones bitching the loudest. The heyday for GA...

    Who's a cruise addict?

    Addicted to bare boat sailing. Floating resorts, clogged with kids? Nope. Never been on one, never will. 4 or 5 couples on a 50' catamaran, with the ability to set your own schedule...priceless.

    Horn in your vehicles

    Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, dense, or an a$$. So let's go with dense. Two cars ahead of me. One in the right lane, one in the left lane. Both going the same speed. I want to pass. They both stay side by side for miles. Even if the left laner moves ahead, he refuses to move to...
