Why do you store such stuff under /public_html anyway? One level higher would be more appropriate I think.

The content is awesome, thanks for that! As for responsive design, my laptop screen & browser width is 1440px, which makes the font size 24px. This is way too big and is uncomfortable to read. I would say 20px should be absolute maximum

You seem to be talking about registered businesses, while ICANN is targeting all commercial activity, which is much wider. Why should I be required to publish my home address just because I run ads on my website? If I sell ebooks and some

I'm honestly so tired of crap like this. My hopes of living in a reasonable society are being crushed every single day. Things should be improving as time goes on, not going downhill. Ugh.

We have such a two tier approach here in BC with licensed Software Engineers. That's fine by me as long as my own work is not regulated. But there are only ~200 licensed software engineers in BC, so as far as the general market for sof

You don't just pay for the number of hours, but for competence too. That's the point.
