the fact that you are masquerading as dmb, a respected slashdotter, sends all of your replies into the shitter

Thanks, I thought that dmb had gone insane, it all make sense with drnb and high userid. that russian trolls are earning their potato for the day

When I had Comcast in the SF Bay Area, it was rock solid. Did not go down for months (or years) at a time. However, other people in the same city found it to be unreliable.

Why can't Spectrum give me a symmetric connection? I get ~700Mbps down and only ~36Mbps up.

The problems are not technology-related, they are policy decisions.

At my last house, I had fiber with a 700Mbs down/700Mbps up connection, but every evening between 10:00pm and 11:00pm it dropped out for 5 minutes.

Sorry, Mr. Russian Bot, but I am pretty sure you have that backwards. These days, Russia is losing 8 soldiers for one of Ukraine's.

It's only Trump who is calling for the ceasefire.

How much protection does SELinux provide for this vulnerability?

Because utilizing the DOJ to attack political opponents breaks long standing behavior in the US government, and even after that was ignored with Clinton's run, the Dems have historically tried to preserve such 'civil' traditions

I know, it is like Superman letting Lex Luthor get away and not just smashing him to goo, but it is part of what most Americans find to be noble behavior

Do they have to prove this? Or just obstruction?

Of course, if there was no investigation (as DHS has said sometimes), then what was he obstructing?

Frankly, the idea that the government can search the phone of a citizen at the border is an abomination in what is supposedly a free society.

Judges have engaged is so much doublethink about borders. This was an airport, so how was he not already in the USA when the plan landed?

Oracle has faced a sharp surge in automated and AI-driven critical vulnerability discoveries throughout 2026, pushing their Critical Security Patch Updates from a quarterly cadence to a monthly cycle.

High-profile RCE vulnerabilities across Oracle enterprise stacks—such as deserialization flaws in PeopleSoft or CVE-2025-61882 in EBS—stem from unauthenticated web application weaknesses, insecure Java deserialization, path traversal, and exposed endpoints that allow remote exploit execution.

While migrating PeopleSoft to a PaaS model offloads OS and database-tier patching, the application layer itself still demands manual testing and patch application. Savvy administrators must maintain immutable backups and aggressive patch SLAs to avoid compromise.

Ultimately, while Accenture and operational leads share culpability for execution lapses, systemic exposure is a leadership failure. The responsibility lies squarely with the executives directing risk tolerance and architecture oversight.

Just to avoid the chances of getting eye-cancer from your 4chan vomit, I have asked AI to reply:

1. Correlation vs. Causation (Economics over Ideology):

Single motherhood correlates with youth delinquency primarily through household poverty and resource strain, not gender or partisan ideology. When studies control for household income, neighborhood safety, and educational access, the gap between single-mother and single-father or two-parent outcomes shrinks dramatically. Attributing systemic poverty to "toxic feminism" ignores decades of empirical sociological and economic data.

2. Made-Up and Distorted Statistics:

The argument relies on fictional figures masquerading as data:

The "80% virgin men" claim: Actual demographic surveys (such as the General Social Survey) show young male sexual inactivity hovers around 20–30%, not 80%.

The "USAID funded gangster rap" conspiracy: USAID does not fund domestic American music genres; it is an international development agency.

The "28% of Gen Z aborted" voter fraud trope: Conflates debunked election conspiracy theories with unverified demographic claims.

3. The Irony of Accountability:

Blaming single mothers for absent fathers while lecturing about "accountability" is a contradiction. A single mother is, by definition, the parent who stayed to raise the child. Framing paternal abandonment as the fault of liberal feminism absolves the very men who walked away from their responsibilities.

4. Crime Trends Disprove the Premise:

Over the past 30 years, violent crime in the United States has declined significantly compared to its peak in the early 1990s—even as non-traditional household structures grew. If single motherhood were the sole, unchecked driver of violent crime, national crime rates would have scaled exponentially upward rather than trending downward over multi-decade horizons.

Rage-baiting internet subcultures (OF, dating apps, culture war buzzwords) do not substitute for serious criminology or family policy. Addressing poverty, expanding early childhood education, and fostering parental support across the board will always accomplish more than grievances posted from behind a keyboard.

Throwing money in trump's direction, you say?

AI Overview
Investigative reports by organizations like ProPublica, Reuters, and the Center for American Progress describe various financial conduits connecting Russian oligarchs and elites to figures and family members within the Trump orbit through real estate, shell companies, and direct gifts.

Luxury Real Estate Purchases

  According to a Reuters special report, at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

  Critics and investigators note that cash-heavy luxury real estate purchases provide a way for foreign nationals to move large amounts of money into U.S. assets.

Shell Companies and Campaign Financing

  The Center for American Progress reported that Kremlin-linked actors used anonymous bank accounts, shell corporations, and wire transfers to move millions around the 2016 campaign and presidential inauguration.

  In 2018, public documents released by attorney Michael Avenatti alleged that a firm linked to Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg deposited $500,000 into a shell company controlled by Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Direct Event Funding and Personal Gifts

  A September 2026 investigation by ProPublica revealed that Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev bankrolled hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding after-party in the Bahamas.

  ProPublica reported that Kremlev—who has close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin—paid for private island rentals and fireworks through a Dubai-based entity.

  Donald Trump Jr. and his wife acknowledged the funding on social media and called Kremlev a personal friend. President Donald Trump later stated that his son would repay the money to Kremlev.

Things that make you go, "Hmmmm"

...it seems like the current US administration is acting as an agent for the country's enemies

I think you are underestimating the barriers that the Trump administration is putting in place to make things difficult for people going through the same route as you did in the past.

The lawyer is there to help you when things don't go according to plan.

Even in the past, it wasn't so smooth for everyone. In the days when you submitted your own fingerprints, the INS kept "losing" the fingerprints a friend of mine submitted for his Green Card application. Bizarrely, they approved his wife's application. Bizarre because her application was dependent on his.

The US version of HIGNFY is not a patch on the BBC version.

I think it misses an important point about the seals. The seals are designed to work with a higher pressure outside the sub. With a pressure differential in the opposite direction, I suspect that they might leak a lot.
