No, it's a storm. It was named by the Irish Met Office.

So was his offence the mention of a firearm, or the mention of its employment in ending a fantasy creature's life? If he said he shot a raccoon, would he have also been expelled?

The US has been glorifying scenes of extreme violence for years on TV or in the movies. And yet, if a child were to mention they watched anything like that, and, god forbid, write a synopsis on it, they'd be looking at expulsion/sternly-worded letters too? Really, what kind of children are being raised there these days? Where everything is an offence of some kind, where to feel mildly insulted is a level of indignance akin to to smacking your mother in the face elsewhere in the world.

In a couple of decades, these mis-educated, skin-as-thick-as-paper children are going to be the ones running a country possessing the most powerful military on earth.

Have we really come to the point that we'd choose to end something as important as the right - and the ability - to remain anonymous, all for the sake of catching bullies and bringing them to justice?

It probably won't be around in 5 years or so.

The userbase is predominantly teenagers who'll be very different people in a couple years, and the slightly older crowd who'll have moved onwards as well.

I see two issues:
1) Functionally, it's simple to replicate, and
2) The ephemeral nature of the pictures were what gave it traction in the first place. This is now under serious (20 years of) scrutiny.

There will likely remain a market for the functionality it offers, but the teen demographic will probably not be revitalised given its current situation.

Let's not mock the founder(s) for turning down the $3 billion though, this is a good lesson learned and hey, they're still young.

.. as the admin for a couple of hundred Windows servers, an efficient CAB is your friend. As another said, they have your back, and that of the business (and by extension, the poor guy who is up at 4am fixing any issues introduced). That said, I've also worked with companies and CABs that know how everything is written in the ITIL handbook, but with no clue of how to put it into (an efficient) practice. It sounds like your CAB just wants the paperwork done - did you bring on consultants recently? - and think/hope it will mitigate the risks involved with patching. Change request for patching on a development environment? Routine change. Keep up with the news for any issues from this month's patches. You patch dev, or your pre-prod environment or whatever you have, monitor for a few days and if all is good you apply the same patches to your production machines. This is enough risk mitigation for most, and it gets the job done at the end of the day. Make up a nice RACI chart (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) for the whole process - you are probably R/A for successful patching, but, the CAB will provide the approval for you to go ahead. They won't allow you to do it if there's a big release, or some on-going issues. Then you only need to know how to push the patches and have a good engineer to fix anything that might occur on the night, and the accountability trail takes care of any finger-pointing and addresses any gaps in the process you might have noticed. Start slow, start small. Work your way up in volume as the becomes more like a routine change.

Urgh. This banal thread is why I grow weary of thee, Slashdot.

I disagree. It's standard tactic of that House to indebt governments because such loans are always backed by taxes on the people. If there Rothschilds really DIDN'T run the place, it would be prosperous. This is their MO.

Lads there will be a referendum coming in May or June where we'll have to decide if we take a bailout from the Rothschil- sorry, the IMF - and sign over our independence to the cabals that have already destroyed the US. Keep an eye on this one.

I work with some of those guys. That DC is actually pretty epic - everything cooled naturally by the environment, built in England and shipped to Iceland, put together within a month.. a good job.

Oh, I can't wait to see the cow Hilary gives birth to

Those gentlemen had suggested December 26th instead ... retailers would have had a boom xmas

Start a revolution already, jeez

Definitely.
