    Career or job

    I work for a living. I sit in front of a computer for 3 days a week and in front of various groups of people for the rest. I learn something new every single day and I carry that knowledge with me along the way, passing to others when I can and reserving it for the day it will be needed. I'm...

    intranet. = internal network. you have a router to connect you to the internet (yes I get the irony here) (not quite true, you a router modem, it's the modem bit that does that.) because you've got that you technically already have the network to do what you want but really it isn't worth it...
