Whenever some "analyst" says something like a release "isn't impossible", the only reason I can think of for saying such a think is a "pump and dump" stock scheme. :(

If CloudFlare is so concerned about it's other customers, it would have just disconnected the proxy's services and applied to have the blockade removed, not "threatened" to disconnect the proxy.

Any reputable cloud provider would disconnect any of their customers deemed to be hosting illegal content.

But no, they're going to strand their other customers rather than strike down the one customer that is actually causing the problem in order to score "political points" about ISP responsibility.

Feh. Whether you feel that "piracy" is wrong or not, it's clear that if the legal system is mandating the blockade of one of your customer's services, you should be getting rid of that customer, not whinging about how the blockade is affecting your other users.

Even Israel never claimed there were rockets being fired from the UN schools. They alleged that the property was being used to store munitions, but that's a far cry from being used to launch attacks.

Like UN schools being used as refugee camps, eh?

And again, an invalid metric. Having more money than someone else does not make you "better" than them.

That's what happens when you rely on a vendor instead of a ratified standard. Can you imagine the uproar if older HDTV tuners suddenly stopped working with new broadcasts? People were upset enough that the old analogue signals were obsolesced!

Upper management at most companies view IT as a set of tasks or items you can check off as "done", requiring no further investment or maintenance. I blame them for the sorry state of affairs that allows these "security" companies to advertise and sell "in a box" products that are supposed to "take care of your security."

If upper management would realize that things like security and infrastructure are things that need constant maintenance, enhancement, and upgrades, we wouldn't be in this pickle. Nor would we be stuck with applications that are running on three-major-revision-old vendor products, subject to a whole raft of security issues that could be addressed by upgrading them.

If the politicians in Congress and Parliament qualify as "legal persons", I guess chimps are over-qualified. :P

Is the local neighbourhood watch required to dress in stormtrooper outfits? :P

If they were refundable tax credits I'd be getting about four grand. *LOL*

The true burden lies in thinking a "high IQ" means you're better than other people. There are many valuable skills and talents which are not measured by an IQ test, including art, music, empathy, and so on.

The burden is the arrogance of presuming IQ means intelligence. It does not. It is simply one metric for measuring skillsets.

When you're on disability, you don't get enough to owe anything. I'm so far below the "poverty line" for Canada that I have to use SCUBA gear to breathe... :(

Cite an article, not YouTube videos.

And I'm concerned about single-threaded compute performance, not embedded graphics. I never use the embedded graphics on a processor except on a notebook that has no slot for a video card.

Yeah, but they were the ones griping about Linux and claiming that they were going to replace Linux.
