I love the cloud. I don't have to screw around with hardware and most of the real sysadmin tasks are harder in the cloud than on a real server, at least to do them right. It's perpetual job security. A developer wouldn't know a good configuration management system if it bit him. I take over projects all the time deployed by developers. Hand-crafted config files, no redundancy, no backup. It's hilarious.

Seriously. I don't let my wife use my computer, let alone guests.

Yeah I'm actually pretty familiar with the Paul's. I just can't imagine the current Republican party allowing one of them to run for President.

Guess what - obesity is the only thing on that list that is voluntary.

Vancouver's about $4.00 for most trips, but Translink's own financials show that only covers about 1/3 the cost. So that should be $12.00, at least. Of course no one would actually pay that so the politicians make property owners and drivers pay most of it through taxes.

Can you point out where in the Republican platform they promise to unwind the police state? Even if somehow Rand Paul becomes President, I don't see where 51 Senators and several hundred Congressmen are somehow lined up to support this.

I've had them do that. They chewed out my wife for having a little jar of jam or something not in a clear plastic bag. So then they put it in a clear plastic bag, which somehow made it "safe".

Sorry, which major party can you vote for that will reverse the police state measures implemented since 9/11?

It's not DNS-specific. DNS just makes a convenient amplification attack possible.

ISPs can and should filter originating traffic to ensure the source addresses aren't forged.

Yeah well this is the same jerk that thought sending assault rifles to Mexican drug lords to try to make guns look bad seemed like a great idea.

Good thing Congress impeached him for that ... doh.

Other than Afghanistan, I believe the drone campaign is most active in Pakistan and Yemen, so presumably that's two.

Food stamps are so hard to get ... that there are 50 million people getting them.

You don't have anything.

It will be very polite. Completely useless, but very polite.

Which is better than rude and useless.

I'm not really an environmentalist and I never said anything like that. I simply stated the fact that overpopulation is straining water resources. I don't need their resources; I live in Canada - we have more water than we know what to do with.
