Well Andrew Grygus has been predicting for a while that by the end of this year Windows will be pretty much unusable online. Some of the scumware infestations that he has described removing sound scary.
I'm thinking in particular of the one described at [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=198346|http://z.iwethey.org...?contentid=198346].

Have sent that around, too
Well - excerpted (with attribution but sans direct zIWE link.) That thread pretty much outlines all the stuff the average person is unapt to have access to -- lore + the skill to apply it. And it reads OK in English, too.
It's looking bleak out there for toy software, including my own - despite precautions.
So far, two of my Droogies are now safely ensconced on new Apples (which I can't afford until I Must). As these two, especially, *need* reliable web access, I'm relieved for them. Gawd, what about the Millions??

ObSorryOnlySerious: Oh, I'm sure you're quite helpful...
...as a *builder*, so you're not "out of the running" after all!
It's only that you could build those houses just as well without the *missionary* bits of being a missionary, you see...

Well, not necessarily . . .
. . the funding has to come from somewhere. Being a missionary gets his construction funded.

So are ya saying Bob is/should be paid at full market value?
Interesting... That would put all the charitableness squarely in the lap of his providers of funding, wouldn't it?

Profit = employee.worth - employee.paid
In a non-profit, that translates into net charity. ;)

Aha... So that makes your employer the charitable one, then.
That is, eh... *Are* you saying, as you seem to be, that *you, personally*, are paid normal market wages for your "charitable" work?
Just wondering...

No, the charitable ones . .
. . are the ones donating money to his employer so that he may be paid to engage in charitable work. He and his employer are simply the conduit through which this charity is applied.

More than a conduit
Although what you say is partly true, I add more value to that charity than it could do on its own, since I'm *not* being paid what I'm worth. In addition, the organization adds value through its economies of scale (and 40 other people on staff whose contributed value is more than what they're paid).

Yep, makes sense; and is good to hear. Except...
Except *for you*, of course, since that puts you back in the helping business -- and therefore on the outs with the BionicBabe! ;^>
