Sometimes, having a partner(s) means you have to work harder and do their job. I find it rare where you have 2 or more people dedicated to the same goals. Most today are looking for the quick buck.

to own what I buy and that contracts respect advertising. The larger the typeface the more important. Fine print should not take precedence over bold claims. Terms on contracts should require both parties agreeing and one side changing terms cannot cancel service on an item I bought.

Like I said, I can't figure out if you are talking about the US or Europe. You seem to forget American history. Kettle, you are calling pot black and you don't even see it. Do you even see what is happening in the US right now?

I can't figure out if your talking about the US or Europe.

Because the PHB thinks it's a good idea.

Security is important until the president is shown a presentation of this cool new gizmo/fad.

It's sad that you feel that the number of installs categorized on a narrow definition means so much to you. Using your interpretation of success it would seem that Windows has lost it's dominance of the user since most today get their computing done on other platforms.

For you that might be true but for me Linux has been part of my desktop environment for almost 30 years now.

I don't care how popular something is but rather does the tool work for me. Does it lock up my information? Does it force me to conform to it or does it conform to my requirements? Does it spy on me? Does it force me to stop in order for it to run an update?

It did nothing to protect kids from adult material. It just moved the majority porn outside Florida jurisdiction and unfortunately kids will find the not so tame sites.

This would have to be the system administrator's password and even then I would say is was poor management if they had access to all.

This is a constant fight that I have with clients. Everything needs to be easy. Security is not a consideration. Then something happens and they look for answers that don't interfere with operations. Everyone else is to blame.

If the data is that important then it should have been secured behind more than one employees password.

So you only read what you want to read and ignore everything else? Go back and read my comment then post.

Kids will still have access just like in the past and it won't be the tame stuff they are looking at now.

I've lost hope for the human race, we don't care to even see what is going on around us.

If parents can't protect kids then I can assure you the law and the government certainly will not no matter what law they pass.

because according to Trump America isn't doing that well.

Intellectually lazy is assuming that cuts will not affect services. the county where most deaths occurred was missing critical staff at the federal level not to mention that they were looking to others to finance their emergency response while the county downriver with their emergency response system had no deaths due to the floods.

I have yet to see an entity restored to it's original glory by the cut and burn in order to rebuild mentality. In this case we are still in the cut and burn faze and I don't have much confidence that their will be a serious rebuild faze. Pork barrels don't work that way.

That is simpler said than done since the rules change depending on who is reading them.

We are already there. AI is the next step. Most people today can't think for themselves and have no interest in doing so. They choose options based on popularity and not their needs. The popular options are always the easiest which removes functionality and requires assistance or $ to make it fit their needs. We see this in our schools today from the subjects to the tools used.
