Why?

The military has access. Their government doesnt want the world seeing what they are doing. The are forced to blank it off for national security.


If there is one term that has lost its value over the last three decades it is 'national security'. That gets trotted out for any number of reasons, the easiest and in my opinion most accurate interpretation is that it stands in for 'our desire to do this'.

"'National security' is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - Samuel Johnson (sort of).

In the US it's also the root password to the Constitution, which is what makes it so useful:

Iran is not a threat to our national security.

I canceled about two years ago. Most of the stuff on netflix has already been watched. The new content is hit or miss.

Better off paying for Disney and downloading the rest.


Most of the water still has fluoride in it naturally.


I'm am also in Ireland what is the price range for these bootcamps? I am studying software development part time (open uni) would it be worth getting into a bootcamp?


For anyone feeling depressed about earning top Dollar in a cosy secure job think of how it could be.. I am a student part time and work full time 6-6 in a factory getting covered in egg mess every day for £280 a week You heard that right not per day. Per week. I hope to become a developer someday. Work is work i will code for anyone who will pay me especially if the are offering a weeks pay per day to type at a desk in a nice office. My advice is to keep in mind that you are being paid for your time. Leaving would obviously as more stress to your life. So find something interesting to do side project or hobby until you can leave your current position. Also remember it could be a lot worse. You could be scrapping by on the bottom of the ladder.
