Online marketing challenges can be tough. I started working online as an affiliate back in 2004, after reading a "How to get rich" eBook. I had also tried "paid surveys," "ad blasters," and other promising opportunities with absolutely no success. I actually do not know anyone who makes money doing surveys, I suppose the reason being that for someone to succeed at it they would have to work very hard for little payment. The money I made for the week while doing surveys came out to about $1 per hour, but this is just the beginning. I had signed up for a "survey database membership" and was very excited since the last "Work from home" opportunity I had tried was a letter stuffing scam. The thought of...

WLANs and it's acceptance as a secure and robust technology was a tumultuous experience. To me it was the technological conundrum. The mere perception of networking without wires, being able to transmit data, voice and video over a transmission media that is not visible, was to some protagonists of the wired world, preposterous and unrealistic. From the onset we had debate after debate about security. Remember, 802.11 started becoming a buzz word around the same time as hacking. Wireless technology was initiated into the "hall of flames". Long ignored and accepted shortcomings of networking was mysteriously added to the smell test for WLANs. As an instructor I welcomed the intellectual frenzy...

Termination for convenience clauses are particularly useful to employers undertaking speculative developments, where market movements may make employers wish to terminate the contract part way through, e.g. in house building...

Precipitation here also varies considerably. One moment there is not a cloud in the sky and a few minutes later it is dark and raining so hard you can barely...
