What you say is provable false, or rather your extreme opinion is. When you use words like corruption, and talk about an edit you made on an actress page, something is off. I have done my fair share of controversial subjects on Wikipedia, and everyone of them still stands to day.

You will always use Wikipedia it is impossible to be on the net today without doing it, I have edited on several competitors they have all failed.

25 Gbps, 10 Gbps is ok pricewiwe nowadays, you can split it up to 2.5 Gbps internally since it is easy to get 2.5Gbps cheap. This of course depends on your usage last year I installed three dark fibre lines plus up links at max 25 Gbps, if you need it it really is cheap even over +30km. I easily saturated +25 Gbps out from that network.

This equipment can be had second hand so if you need it or want to play with it now is the time to start building. ISPs are a bit slow upgrading their infra so it was impossible to get reliable up links at 25 Gbps being in the countryside with long distances.

Saying that children are made of pixie dust, or children are the locust of Sars-Cov-2 are probably both a kind of misinformation.. There was a paper from finland comparing the effectiveness of closing down schools, they said that there was clear evidence that it was an ineffective way to hinder the death in the affected groups (children at school). Wether children infect lots of other people outside of that group is probaly hard to answer, I'm not sure how you would go around getting that data in an easy way.

He looked at me and said, "well it depends on the department. For example, int he DoE (dept of education) anything under 75 million "missing" is a rounding error."

That's a wonderful anecdote I'll probably use sometimes, the conspirationist in me thinks that it might be a wanted feature for DoE. What comes after auditing is really strange I've also come across irregularities at 25% of the budget, and the people affected did not want to take that further. So I believe you in that something like this can happen, but embezzlement is not my first guess.

no one said things like "Obama [**inser crazy thing**]"

Sure they did, they said that quite a lot actually, there was a complete news network dedicated to come up with new crazy things to insert there. Sometimes it's correct that the administration of the current president is the instigator of some crazy things, but motsly it's as you say just things that comes with governing. In this case, I don't know, but budget cuts of $75 million is nothing to scoff at.

I agree that we need to get away from this black and white kind of reporting it doesn't help either side in the long run. I do not know if you are a Trump supporter, but if you are then you better concentrate on the reporting in your own camp, it's better to discuss these things with people that trust your intentions. If you are not a Trump supporter then yey for you.

He caused google to get bad press.

No, he did not. The leaker did.

You always have responsibility for your thoughts and views.

I've not read Salon and the likes but you might need to read some more from serious people who do not share your views, because if you think the memo was written be some enlightened bro who knows enough about gender bias to say something intelligible then you are sadly mistaken. I'm sure his memo struck some chords in your heart, but it doesn't matter if most of it was bullshit.

Saying stupid shit gets you fired if the wrong person hears it, that sucks, I'm not sure I think it should be that way but it sadly is.

All Operating Systems sucks, trademarked words in it does not make it suck less. :-)

I've only had a couple of thousands desktop Linux and Windows clients under my control back in the day, and it really is no difference at least moneywise, it is easier to do hires for Windows as long as you pay the senior guy enough to keep him. Happily I've heard that out sourcing is working pretty well on the Windows side so it's going to be a lot cheaper than Linux soon.

Linux might not be for you and your environment, but that doesn't mean it sucks more than your prefered variant.
