It does actually matter because you're paying for the clicks. I, for one, sure as hell don't want to be paying for bullshit clicks even if I still make a profit.

Haha, cynical but true. Reminds me of this: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Free-State-govt-We-pa... (R40m is ~$3,211,291)

I'm in the wrong job... :p

Well, to clarify (seeing how I can't edit my post) - if I was in OP's position that's what my concern would be. As I live in the UK I'd have to be careful about hosting things like…

yeah, it gets frustrating when you're bombarded with calls by them as well as those PPI/whatever robocalls. I've cancelled my donations to several charities because of their harass…

Images of BDSM is illegal in some countries, like the UK, IIRC.

What city are you in? It really depends on your location. For example, I'm in London and when I started contracting I simply uploaded my CV to a job site and my phone exploded with…

It is a direct rival to Splunk :) They do very similar things however IMHO Splunk is the better solution right now. There are LaaS companies that use ELK if you need a cloud soluti…

ELK stack - Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. The whole stack is opensource :)

I really hope not, it's a pair of headphones. It's not like you're plugging in a new type of RAM.

Many people did leave the country - there was a large diaspora in the 2000s to Canada, NZ, Australia, and the UK. Many others wanted to but couldn't because they couldn't get visas…

Okay, here's the deal. Overall SA has a really big crime problem but it's not a complete warzone. It is heavily dependant on where you live. For example, Cape Town is statistically…

Skype? :p

>Filling in forms to tick boxes so that everyone can go home happy pretending there's security going on, when really their network is a leaky sieve. I saw a DefCon video where the …

Huh?
