"I've been running servers out of my home for decades without my ISP's permission. Their NAT doesn't stop that."
My ISP just lets people run home servers if they want, you don't have to ask permission, and they have an opt-out firewall. Which I opted out of, coz it blocks the servers I want to run. A small extra charge if you want a static IP, no extra charge for IPv6.
I can't fit all the IPv4 addresses in my smartphone, coz I do block adverts and such. Though there is no such filter on my dumbphone, I don't use it for any Internet type stuff. On the other hand, the ISP my dumbphone is using has been offering IPv6 to it's costumers for many years, the ISP on the smartphone not so much.
"Speaking as a product designer, their Mod implementation is very good, with the mounting mechanism having no real downside when not in use ( compare to LG's modular system that meant the phone wasn't water proof)."
The Moto Mod system and phones are not water proof either, merely water resistant. I think that's the problem with having exposed electronic connectors in a modular system, hard to make them water proof, coz water's gonna short out the pins.
"In this case it probably moot because I doubt Mrs Diogenes turns over more than $75,000 (excluding GST for some reason) so she should not be registered for GST, submitting a Business Activity Statement or remitting any money."
If she has an ABN she'll have to submit the BAS paper work. I found that out the hard way.
"I didnt know Dogs needed Petrol! So that's what I've been doing wrong all these years, giving Fido dog food instead of petrol. Makes sense, I mean my car has never once shat on the lawn, so if I give the dog petrol I wont have to waste saturday mornings cleaning up the back yard."
I can guarantee that if you feed your dog nothing but petrol, it'll stop shitting on your lawn.
'That's because you know of a better IDE!! Go on, enlighten us!
'(Last time i asked this the best responses i got were "eclipse isn't too bad" and "I'm writing my own".)'
Midnight Command isn't too bad as an IDE, and I'm writing my own, version of Midnight Commander, which is currently on GitHub, but likely gonna move it elsewhere soonish.
"If you don't have a Linkdin profile, one will be automatically created for you based on your Github data."
Hmmm, that'll be interesting. Before I requested LinkedIn to delete my profile, I had changed my name to "Deleted User", and since then I've been getting emails from LinkedIn addressed "Dear Deleted". Right up to the last one a month or three ago that threatened to actually delete my account if I didn't agree to their new terms of service. I wonder if they did?
If I change my GitHub name to "Fuckoff Microsoft", and delete everything else, will there be an unholy marriage of Deleted User and Fuckoff Microsoft? Will I end up being Deleted Microsoft, or Fuckoff User?
"From our MSDN 7 DVD"
Their IT guy, me, is a volunteer, and they survive on grants. I don't think they'll spring for an MSDN subscription. Says I, with no clue about current MSDN practice, last I saw one was last century.
Can I borrow yours? I promise it'll only be driven by a little old lady that lives around the corner.
"The word fall makes no sense fail does so fail creators it is"
Considering that "fall" is meant to be a synonym for "autumn", and autumn falls on entirely different parts of the year depending on where you are on the planet, not to mention some places only have two seasons (called wet and dry in Darwin at least), yeah "fall" makes no sense if it's trying to refer to a specific time of year. I'll go with "fail' to. Microsoft, creators of fail.
