"Only old people watch TV news now. It's a less sensationalist of getting news, compared to reading a website."

Fixed that for you.

But I guess I must be getting old; I never thought I'd see somebody beat out TV news for sensationalism over content.,

8 GB should be enough for anybody?

I'm not necessarily going to defend this protest, but criticism of Israel is hardly some "woke Commie" position (whatever the hell that even means). One can sincerely believe Israel's actions against Palestinians is unjust, without, say, wanting state control of the economy.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It's been protected since 1791.

I expect that general anxiety about anti-Semitism is driving this. Like it or not, condemnation of Israel comes with certain baggage, and as can be seen on campuses throughout the Western world, criticism of Israel can turn into anti-Zionism which then turns into anti-Semitism very quickly. The lines are very thin. The business world is very risk averse, and coming down on the wrong side of this particular debate can have a whole lot of consequences. Beyond that, of course, Alphabet is a business, not a society for activists, and while it may tolerate certain kinds of activism that may not be perceived as threatening the bottom line, right now, criticism of Israel is just a step too far.

If I see you for defamation because you claimed I was a thief, that is indeed retaliation.

Maybe Republicans really like dick picks

Thanks Yuri. How's the weather in St. Petersburg?

I expect many VMware customers are already deep in the eval process of other technologies, and will be jumping ship as they are able. If they were smart they started this about the same time broadcom got involved.

I'm getting a real mid-2000's Novell vibe off of VMware right now.

Maybe if Israel hadn't been politically and financially backing Hamas, it might have been different. But hey, all that counts is "Palestinians bad, Israelis good". Simple is so much easier to cope with than reality.

I'll have to agree. Are you seriously going to argue that "Men in Tights" is a remake of the Errol Flynn movie?

Now, granted, that number of adaptations of the same subject also shows a remarkable lack of imagination.

Now, you'll have to excuse me, I have a ticket to see Star Wars XXVIII.

And yet all the cool kids love Python and YAML these days, both of which break in fun and interesting ways if you get the indenting wrong.

But that's by design, and is very clearly spelled out. And if you can't deal with Python's formatting rules, maybe you should go back to BASIC. The rest of us are making great stuff with it.

Had to be scrapped. Turned out it was evil.

Also, we are currently in the most temperate time of the year. Wait until you can exceed the demand during winter or summer before running your victory lap... or are rolling blackouts no longer a thing in California?
