Comment Re: If Russia can, they would... (Score 1) 152

The US was already helping out a lot before it joined the war. Of course without that things would have been extremely bleak.

But the facts remain: the German Luftwaffe was already gone by the time the US entered the war, and Hitler's three pronged approach to defeat Russia was already turning into a miserable failure before the US entered. Way before D-Day they had already got bogged down in Stalingrad, meaning no path to Azerbaijan to get the fuel they so desperately needed.

I never said the US didn't have a pivotal role. But its isolationism in both WWI and WWII meant that they came late to the party in both, and in both cases Germany would not have won.

Submission + - India's Cockroach Party goes viral 1

Charlotte writes: On 15 May, India's Chief Justice Surya Kant compared unemployed youths to cockroaches during oral arguments in court. According to the BBC, this was in reference to young people turning to journalism and activism.

The very next day Abhijeet Dipke, a Public Relations student at Boston University, started a satirical website called the Cockroach Janta Party, a play on words on Indian Prime Minister Modi's own party, Bharatiya Janata Party.

In no time the movement gained more than 10 million followers on Instagram. Establishment reaction was quick: soon its Twitter handle was blocked by the courts, then hacked. As of now the Instagram page is still online, and such blocks are only effective inside India. Court cases are now pending to remove the blocks.

On Saturday, Dipke arrived at Delhi airport where he was greeted by sympathizers. The protesters demand the immediate resignation of the Education Minister after an exam fraud scheme came to light. Government exams lead to highly desirable and secure jobs, and students often spend years preparing for them.

Most orgs phased out POP decades ago in favor of IMAP (I know we did).

I suspect POP on Outlook is now rare, and used almost exclusively where there is no security organization to flag its existence. And that means no one there to read the logs. And why even look at the logs when everything's working as expected?
