  1. I'm rocking a GTX 480. Could definitely use an upgrade.
  2. You can install yum in Debian, if you really want to.

    NAT Type

    Is UPnP enabled on all intermediary devices (routers, switches) in your network? Are you at home, or, for example, at a University?
  4. The Kova looks great--but either would do for me Need a new mouse for work.
  5. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

    Linux and PHP

    You'll need to be root to touch files there. Run your commands prefixed with "sudo"
  7. Yes. PEP8 is what you want.
  8. No need. Use bash's builtin IO redirection. find . -type f -size +1M > outputfile.txt
  9. Fixed most of it. Your math is just wrong on calculating "express shipping" since it doesn't touch the shipping charge whatsoever. #!/usr/bin/env pythondef main(): #Prompts user for weight of shipment shipment_weight = float(input("Weight of shipment(lbs): ")) #If weight of shipment is greater than 50, print 'Too heavy' and program ends if shipment_weight > 50: print("\nToo heavy!") return 0 express_shipment = raw_input("Express shipment? ") if str(express_shipment).lower() in ['n','no']: shipment_charge = .50 * shipment_weight elif express_shipment == 'y' or 'yes': shipment_distance = float(input("Distance of shipment(miles): ")) if shipment_distance > 12450: print("Out of range of Earth's surface!") return 0 if shipment_weight <= 3: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 3.00 if shipment_weight > 3 and shipment_weight <= 10: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 6.50 if shipment_weight > 10 and shipment_weight <= 20: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 14.00 if shipment_weight > 20: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 30.00 print "Shipment charge: $%g" % shipment_chargeif __name__ == '__main__': main() The big issue was that you were doing comparisons on strings that don't make sense. You cannot do "if 10 < some_var <= 10" in pretty much any programming language. You have to use compound boolean comparisons.
  10. It's illegal to crack a password for a wifi network. And it violates the AUP for the school's network--I can guarantee that.
  11. Webhosts frown upon their bandwidth being used to host proxies. Just throwing that out there.
  12. This is not only illegal, but that's not how schools run their networks. Y'all just don't understand how networking for tens of thousands of clients works, and how hard it is.

    YouTube taxes?

    It's called independent contracting. He's not an employee as defined by the state of Florida of the people paying him, and is receiving untaxed income. Even if the state of Florida doesn't care about that income, the federal government sure as hell does. I've filed as a contractor since I was 16.

    YouTube taxes?

    No personal income tax. There's still business tax.

    YouTube taxes?

    Yes. You will have to file a 1099, most likely.
