Have you tried acting like a normal human being instead of getting constantly ultra-defensive about your country?
Actually I believe that is pretty normal. I've heard plenty of non-USAsians get defensive when someone from another country criticizes them.
Besides, the real problem with America is the festering sore sitting on top of their back. Not sharing its bandwidth.
The whole premise of low VPN usage smacks of MBA-driven ignorance and Windows quirks.
No, some of us live in this thing called 'reality'. VPN is massively used everywhere for roadwarriors because not every damn application is some cloud drive piece of HTTPS shit.
Actually SSH is used partly for the same reason. To clarify the grandparent's point the, uh, 'reality' is that SSH is not the same thing as HTTPS, and it does not restrict one to working via web browser.
Anyway, it seems unlikely that the login numbers were skewed by the majority of workers finding SSH more convenient and nobody telling brass.
My guess is that VPN is massively used because the majority of people, including IT, are still working within the Windowsphere.
Steve jobs himself said, "When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks because that's what you needed on the farms." Cars became more popular as cities rose, and things like power steering and automatic transmission became popular.
Great analogy even if the history within it is completely ficticious.
Booyeah! We got someone from the MPAA here, take your rights and then beat you up if you stand up for yourself!
The major issue is that tablets are great content consumption devices for watching video or reading but piss poor content creation devices.
I think the real issue is that we are even discussing an opinion that stems from such someone whose existence has become completely irrelevant to the civilized world.

The title fails to mention the fact that it was the Muslim community, up here, that turned the two guys in. Had nothing to do with the FBI. A few men, in the Mosque that they went to, heard about the plan and reported it to the RCMP.
Also not the first time the Canadian Muslim community has played a central role in preventing terror.
When you think about the fact that the GP posted this on a "Geek" website, I am deeply saddened and worried by the lack of basic science education.
I too, am heavily ensaddened.
crazyjj is clearly the stupidiest scientition in the internet.
The latest Gnome/Unity fiascos has put me completely off desktop Linux.
Quite the opposite here.
Indeed at first it did shake my confidence but it also made me look at the DE alternatives, which turn out to be many. There are even forks of Gnome 2, possible only because of open source. That flexibility has given me greater confidence.
Well, you had better tell that to Google since it is the core language for all Android apps.
Not to mention server side and Google Web Toolkit.
Yes, but the important thing to the type of people who make these lists is that someone with a gun was victimized.
The fact that the weapons went from being owned by law-adiding citizens to being owned by violent criminals who are orders of magnitude more likely to kill someone, is completely irrelevant to them. The people who make these lists are more than happy to be accomplices to the robberies and murders their actions have facilitated. That just raises up anger against normal gun owners all the more, which again justifies making responsible people targets of crime.
Look, I think the NRA badly oversteps it mandate by fighting absolutely any form of regulation, when it should go back to concentrating on responsible gun ownership, but crime and violence are not so simple to stamp out.
The fact is that compliant gun owners are a much more conveniant target than criminals. If you can't solve the issue you can at least take your pound of flesh.
