CA will continue to have environmental protection, no matter what the federal government. We still have open borders, so if you need to escape US idiocy, we welcome you with open arms. The same goes for IL, NY, and a few other first world nation states. The rest of the country can go fuck yourselves.
And it's the biggest cluster fuck you can imagine. Only registered travellers over the age of 18 get to use it. Every one else gets to join an EVEN LONGER QUEUE because they can't be bothered to lay on sufficient staff to process people coming through. Entire families stuck in a fucking queue for over an hour thanks to electronic borders. Progress.
Only an hour? That would be a dream come true in the US.
It's actually not all that difficult to spot vpn traffic. Run some DPI and just simply look at the size of the packets being exchanged.
You are talking simple in THEORY, but not in practice. We're talking about sniffing the traffic of a COUNTRY, not a small office. That takes serious hardware and serious money if they don't want to crawl. Sounds like they are ready to turn on some system. But like all things internet, it will only take a short time for people to learn how to get around it.
Of all the possible uses of Siri, "Siri Stop Navigating" when you are trying to pull into a parking lot at your destination and she won't shut up about making a U-turn is about the only use that we've found yet. Voice is great for a minuscule number of real life situations.
According to TFS, nothing was lost. They just can't access their stuff until it's moved over to the new database. No disaster. No lesson. No dog. Just off line for a few days.

In almost every case, the employers bragging about jobs or potential jobs are lying and thinking about profits and potential profits for themselves.
Reality? Well, uh, look over there! A gay illegal Mexican trying to get a free abortion!
So Oracle decides to name their next version of Solaris 11.next instead of 12. How does a random version numbering change spell demise for Solaris? Not that I think it has much of a future, but this is as silly as security ratings based on number of bugs. This tells us nothing about what features will ship with the next version.
You must be a sadomasochist. How can you have a soft spot for anything who's default shell is still ksh? It felt like I was stuck in the 80s every time I had to administer Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX.
Default shell for SunOS was csh. Default shell for Solaris was sh. I don't know what silly sysadmins you've had in the past, but ksh has never been the default shell.
It's a shame that the same thing happens every day in the good old USA, except it's legal campaign contributions and lobbying. So there's no longer any chance of a scandal or prosecution. Just business as usual.
Macbooks correspond to roughly 7% of the pc market, and yet OSX only corresponds to 3% of the o/s market. Guess what more than half of the Macbooks are running.
In any event, be it 3% or 7%, that's the entire market, not just developers. I don't know what "substantial" means to you but for Microsoft it's a drop in the ocean.
You SERIOUSLY think that over half of all MacBooks are running Linux as their primary OS? Let me guess, a Trump supporter.
You know, some of us use windows since it's quite client facing. This might blow your mind. Anything either side can do to bridge the gap of best of both worlds is a good thing.
You somehow missed 30 years of embrace, extend, and extinguish.
Funny thing about workers in other countries - they kinda don't want to bust their ass for meager wagers so that Americans can enjoy a standard of living higher than they deserve. The inevitable outcome is an equalization of income, where wages in established nations stagnates while wages in developing countries rises.
Which America will avoid at all costs. How many parallels to Rome. We think we are the center of the universe, when nothing can be further from the truth. It will all come toppling down soon.
My guess is that Comcast isn't all that much worse than any of the other providers, they just have a larger install base and more subscribers which hate the cable company. That means that more folks hate them, but only because they have more customers to tick off.
Your guess, based on no experience with the company, is WRONG. They are simply the worst company I have ever had to deal with. No one in customer service has any intention to help you, only to get you off the phone. All problems require a "home visit," even if the problem is on their end. And that can't be scheduled for at least a week. Every five minutes on the phone you get another suggestion to upgrade to a more expensive service. We should be able to sue for PTSD just having to deal with them.
What about social obfuscation? I'm surprised by how many people have no problem sharing information about themselves. It's the narcissistic society we live in. Personally, I have already started creating a fictitious me. My goal is for sites like Facebook to start aggregating my new true history. It will make my day when I go to a job interview and they say, "Our HR department did some research. Were you really an alchemist in Tibet?"
