Four Hour Work Week. Take it with a grain of salt, since it takes a lot longer than the author suggests to create a business. (I'd say a year of hard work at least to finally hit a…

There is no problem with FTP so long as you implement the standard properly (with explicit SSL and PROT P). But here's the crux of the issue- For better or worse, most people at th…

The only reason FTP is insecure is because system admins still allow unencrypted FTP connections. POP3 and HTTP is also insecure- it's up to the system admin to block insecure conn…

dragonwriter, first, I want to say, you are correct that FTP/FTPS is not the World's Best Protocol. In fact, maybe it is the worst protocol in the world. What I'm saying is, that d…

@mooism2 Ideally MLSD should be used, not LIST. That solves the formatting issue.

Canadian schools all post their tuition on their websites. Actually, Canadian schools are still cheaper than private, even if you are foreign. Waterloo Engineering Coop: $28,527.94…

Keep in mind there is always overhead. There's no such thing as a cash machine that requires no maintenance. I'd look at high dividend yield stock that pays out monthly (6% yield o…

You can also look into Canadian universities. U of Waterloo is a very entrepreneurial place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Waterloo#Spin-off... If interested, you shou…

While us programmers tend to say "I'll just program it myself" it is actually much faster to: - Buy an off the shelf program and take 3 hours to read their proprietary API for extr…

The trick is using university/college off-campus housing listing pages. You'll find great deals. Here's the one from SFSU: http://sfstate.och101.com/ "Spacious Studio in Nagley Man…
