  Depends on the webapp, traffic, etc. I have an EC2 instance and my own domain that runs me a solid $7 a month. It’s just a tiny little web server. If your web app is structured in a way that the client does the processing, your hosting costs can be pretty cheap.

  For instance, rather than editing a PDF on a server, if your web app provides all of the tools to edit the PDF in the client’s browser, the server doesn’t need to be particularly robust. Basically it just needs to hand out those tools to the client.

  And also to misuse a document marked “for official use only”, for an exam taken four years ago, on a functionally meaningless aptitude test. It serves a purpose for the military and that’s it. And only during intake. You probably wouldn’t get in trouble for sharing this doc out in the grand scheme of things, but the US military is collectively a petty bitch and they can find ways to make life difficult.

  I’m not sure why you choose to be so defensive about an Internet argument, OP, but learning to let go can lead you down a much more peaceful psychological road. The stakes were and are nil. The outcome of the argument changes nothing. Take a deep breath, calm down, and move on.

  You could also get yourself a bungee cord. Bungee the bag the same way you’d use one of those bands.

  It’s the kludgy option, but you’ll probably get a bunch of spare bungee cords out of it and those are always useful.

  I cannot imagine the shit fit that people would throw if we tried to implement a secure national identity number. Even the SSN got a lot of backlash for being “the mark of the beast”, and that was introduced a little under a hundred years ago.
