I find it funny that you find the lack of upper-case letters makes it difficult to read, when you missed have the words you should have capitalized in your comment.
First of all if you want secure private IRC you should be running your own irc daemon (I would reccommend UnrealIRCd).
Second, if you insist on using a public IRC server a much better solution would be to use FiSH encryption (ultrx.net/doc/fish). Distribute the passkey over another channel to the users and you can have secure irc on a public network without even making the channel private. SSL also ceases to matter.
The KKK was actually formed for the purpose of protecting women's rights iirc. There were black members in some area's and they lynched Caucasians occasionally.
edit: Still terrorism and what they did was despicable, just saying that it wasn't their original purpose.
In the summer after my first/second year of comp sci I took co-op positions, compensation was ~15/hr. Seemed to be about the lowest that companies offered. I only took something that low in order to stay in my home town and save money that way.
Edit: Wanted to add that I'm in Canada and all co-op's through uni or otherwise that I have seen are paid, may be different elsewhere.
With car insurance claims easily being >100k due to injuries/death/multiple vehicle collisions, what kind of monthly rate could possible cover that?
Other examples with high claim amounts, flood insurance, health care, etc.
It doesn't matter how high the minimum cost is, and you cant judge any kind of insurance based solely on that. The chance of it happening is just as important. Let's say 1% of all companies get sued for patent disputes every year (I don't know the stats on this, just an example), with an average defense costing $500 000. The insurance company also wants to make money, so let's have them charge 150% over cost.
$500k x 1.5 = $750k (amount of revenue per 100 customers)
$750k x 0.01= $7500 (cost per customer per year)
$7500 / 12 = $625 (cost per customer per month)
Now even that number isn't that high, and I assume 1% of companies getting hit with patent lawsuit per year is bigger than the real figures.
I switched to crunchbang when I got a new laptop and it's a pleasure to work on and has been useful for getting more experience in terminal. Building your own menus has also helped me keep everything very streamline, I only add what is actually necessary, rather than having tons of programs I used once or twice waste space.
For vps/server I prefer centos/debian.
edit: also wanted to add that crunchbang has run much faster for me than lubuntu which I previously was using. Generally ~200-250mb ram, boots extremely quick as well. It will run great on an old junk pc, or a new workstation.
If anyone is using snapchat for insider trading that is extremely careless, I don't have time to find the article but there was a post here on HN about how to recover all the old snapchat images on the phone.
It's seems like this will be the plan. Are there any other useful extensions for express that I should be aware of? I currently have it set up with just express and jade. I've been looking into passport for user authentication and _(underscore) seems interesting as well.
