How about if we fire them and put them in jail, and just not hire any replacements, period.
The problem is, you need intelligence agencies. You need to protect yourself from enemies foreign and domestic. You need to be able to be able to spy on other governments to find out their ulterior motives, and you need to be able to conduct covert operations instead of engaging in full out wars. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's sure a lot better than what we had before the agencies existed. But they've expanded beyond their scope and purpose.
What's funny is that if you slapped in your favorite UI replacement, then Win8 became even better than 7. Faster, more stable, and if you're a gamer gave even better performance. Remove that, and it was a huge pain in the ass, so in your post I can't quite figure out the "by 9.x it'll be as useable as 7 again..." there's paid options such as Start8, not paid options such as Classicshell. And really, if you couldn't be bothered to replace the awful UI for something else, that's your own problem.
I will say there are still bugs in it. I just ran across probably the most rare of them regarding SSD's yesterday. Where an open handle which isn't properly closed on shutdown, on a SSD volume can lock a SSD, in turn causing the volume to become corrupt. Needless to say, not impressed by that one.
I think they're trying really hard not to piss anyone off after the beta fiasco.
Well anyway, it sounds to me that the only solution to fix the letter agencies is to fire everyone, and not hire anyone that has any primary, secondary, or up to 4th degree connection to them for a period of no less than 10 years.
In fact I'd even say the trend over the last 14 years looks slightly downwards, but 10 years is most likely too small a time scale to be able to tell.
10 years is plenty of time. After all there's plenty of models that only use 30 years of data, because that's all we've got in a lot of places in the world. Most of Canada, Russia, Australia and Africa are like that. Some of the best cases, our monitoring equipment sits next to: Mountain streams, in the shade, in the shadow of a big fucking mountain, surrounded by pine trees.
You've misunderstood. I'm not interested in generalities and vague allegation.
Odd, I've made the same statements as those who give their own theories and given you their own sources including the source data. I guess that's your own problem if you don't want to read through it all.
As a network administrator, I can guarantee you that traffic shaping *is* necessary.
Just like in "real life" you drive at a certain speed, and traffic lights decide which cars pass and which ones have to wait.
Just like in "real life" certain vehicles have priority above all (ambulances).
You mean like a few years ago when your ISP's in the US were using traffic shaping to slow bittorrent to a crawl. But not HTTP? I remember places like the World of Warcraft forums where people from Comcast, Altopia, Roadrunner and others would bitch and moan because Blizzard used torrents for patching, and they were stuck at a glorious...10kb/s down. Pretty good on a 4GB patch. Yep...I guess that's good uh...necessary shaping or something. After all wouldn't want all those pirat...I mean actual legitimate customers who were using something as it should be to be inconvenienced or anything.
You realize that I posted the actual survey, including the methodology. If you did, then you'd know exactly how the numbers were fudged, and why it's a lie. You did take basic statistics right?
You guys in the US have had net neutrality for years? News to me. I thought you had this watered down thing where the ISP's along with major peers were giving the thin veneer of that, while saying they're not shaping traffic while slapping in sandvine boxes all the while. I know that it's what Rogers, Bell and Telus were doing in Canada for quite awhile until the CRTC, Industry Canada and the Feds smacked them around.
Anyway, like I was saying, feel free to post you evidence.
Not a problem I particularly like the ones on no glaciers in the Himalayas, that were based on no evidence by Greenpeace, with no scientific data. But were used as "factual information" to develop policy.
This is a youtube competitor like Crackle or Hulu is a competitor.
Let's be realistic, if you're outside of the US, and don't use a US based proxy neither one of those work properly. In turn, that's why youtube has the pull it does.
And still not much is being done to stop it. Wait 30 years and you'll see this same article here, only referencing global warming.
Odd, I thought that they'd been claiming that the end of the world would be coming every 10 years for the last 30 years. I can pretty much find that in literature easily enough, including that: No glaciers by 2000, no snow falls by 2000, and 2010 in europe, no polar ice caps, and a whole pile of other things.
Pretty common on the roads of most of Canada, especially after the winter we just had too. Well actually most of the US as well, hell ever seen what the roads of the NE US looks like after the flash thaw/freeze cycle in early spring? Hellllllooooo 6-12" potholes...if you're lucky.
You're right a blue book system would never work, and it shouldn't. And the only reason why the blue book system exists in the first place is for insurance companies and tax purposes for governments. So please, don't give them any fsking ideas on it.
Pretty sure Mein Kampf was considered "racist and controversial" by 1930s standards too, what with all the stuff about snuffing the 'weak' and wiping out the jews!
I'd agree, then again I'd also consider it a warning and a prohibitive roadmap that wasn't heeded despite the fact that it spelt out clearly, and sometimes not so clearly exactly what he wanted to do. It's important to learn from "histories greatest monsters" exactly what they wanted to do. If you want to be blind to it, fine. Just don't expect me to share your wallowing of ignorance.
I should probably add in, that in most muslim countries, that it's also the greatest seller on book lists as well. Which should probably tell you something.
Because it makes him look interesting. Makes you curious about him. I am sure it is valuable too.
Meh. I'm a collector of books. My collection contains titles that would be considered "racist and controversial" by today's liberals, because they don't fit with their views of the world. And I'm sure that some of the books others either own or have read that were printed in the 19th century would also let them fall into that fine "racist" category anyway. Especially the works of Mark Twain, Stanley, and Jules Verne.

You know, that makes you sound a lot like a Linux fanboy
If I was a fanboy, I'd be telling you that there was nothing wrong with metro. And you were simply too incompetent to use the "improved UI."
What I find funny is the moderation, as much as /. has changed...mod trolls haven't.

That doesn't mean anything, he's lurking in the back ground just like UID 988.

"Hint"
I didn't say anything. Reading skills are important right?

Really? The previous ELE's and ice ages would disagree with that statement.

Seriously? Even Canadians know that the RCMP, CSIS, and CSEC spy friend, foe, even on their own citizens.
Maybe your class action law suits need to be fixed? I still get my $110 refund for every Fujitsu HDD I return here in Canada.
