Three duh's from the article:

Trust models users and networks have fostered with Internet providers are also changed—and in some cases broken. Contrary to that, providers will no longer be able to sniff traffic—under court order for example—unless they work hand in hand with other providers handling split traffic sessions.

They lost me at "Trust models users .... have fostered with Internet providers".... Duh.

“Technology like MPTCP makes it much harder for surveillance states,” Pearce said. “If I split traffic across my cell provider and an ISP I may not trust, in order for a surveillance state to snoop they have to collaborate with all these parties. It’s a much harder proposition.”

Who cares? And if you really care enough, and you are a suveilance state, you can sniff from the soruce, or a common route in between in which all the data flows. Will you have to spend a little extra CPU and Memmory to piece together the full stream? yeah, duh.

Finally, Pearce said, there will be ambiguity for firewalls about what incoming and outgoing traffic looks like. She said that MPTCP enables endpoints to tell servers there are other addresses to which the server may connect, but the firewall may not necessarily interpret that as an outgoing connection.

And not very hard to fix for the firewall vendors. Will you have to patch your FW? Probably. Is that a problem? No, duh.

Simple eh?

It's easier to install LibreOffice than it is to uninstall MS Office.

But hey, it's Friday night and I'm happy for a good week, including the use of LibreOffice AND MS Office.

Yes MS Office is more polished, and yes hardly anyone uses the stuff LibreOffice doesn't have.
So below the line, for 99% of papers LibreOffice is a fine application.

In The Netherlands a minimum vacation of four weeks is the law, the payment during this period is a deferred payment.

Meaning an annual salary is calculated and the first 6 months of the year 1/13th of it is kept back for payment of salary during your holidays.
The 1/13th of other 6 months are advanced.

I wanted to ask why Star Wars and Galactica, but no Culture novels, but then I realised that neither GCU Fate Amenable to Change or dROU Frank Exchange of Views had any sort of catch phrase.

Another little thing is the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work but then maybe I should first reboot or log out and in again.

But then why do I always select Kubuntu on this multi-boot system, because it's even better.

KDE is a real pleasure to use, a major factor is totally unmatched configurability even if the default is already good.

Yes Nepomuk was tempramental but at the same time it was easy to shoot down the process if it got out of hand.

Your answer shows the problem with UKIP's stance, the advantage of the EU is mutual, going the UKIP's solitary way will be a loss to all, not just the UK.

The contributions are not waste, they are sensible investment with a nice and factual return for all.

Hahaha!

Maggie made sure you guy's contribute less than the others and you are still moaning.
There is ample evidence the EU as an economic partnership is hugely advantageous to all members, yes including the UK.
B.t.w, have you ever thought about why British icons like the Mini, Bentley and Rolls Royce cars are now owned by the losers of WWII?
Indeed, because the Brits have a deficiency in recognising their own shortcomings.
