You think this is a consequence of voting for Trump?
I suspect its more likely under Trump, but not necessarily. I was more thinking about the poster child Trump supporters.
Haven't you paying attention the past eight years under Obama? All talk about civil liberties and constitutionality, while systematically dismantling them?
I guess not. I haven't felt like civil liberties got eroded anymore so under Obama, than what they were previously. I do know that most people are frustrated with the expansion of civil liberties and how businesses, with government sanctioned business licenses, might be required to serve customers with whom the business owners disagree with. Shocking simply shocking.
And it's not "backwards rednecks" that got Trump elected
I highly suspect that if backward rednecks didn't pay to go to his rallies, and held Trump to the same moral standards that they hold every other politician, that he wouldn't have made it in the primaries, let alone the general election.
I would think that something this ridiculous couldn't be possible in a democracy, but then I remember the backward rednecks who voted in Trump, probably never get on planes anyway. Planes are just something that those who don't live in fly-over-country use to fly over them. So why not make them as annoying as possible to use?
Stupidity like this is why card issuers are simply going to have to make EMV mandatory
The issuers aren't going to be doing anything for a while. Because at the moment, the vendor who gets hacked is now responsible for all mag stripe fraud.
Most politicians say they want affordable housing, but when we started to get it during the so-called "crisis" of 2008, all everybody did was bitch.
It politicians really wanted affordable housing they'd get rid of the mortgage interest tax break. That would bring housing prices more in line with what the market could actually bare.
we know that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and he was still OK to run for president because he had one US citizen parent (even if Obama was born in Kenya, his mother was still a US citizen) and nobody complains about him
When I was a TA for a CS course back in 2004-2005, one student handed in a three page paper without any capital letters, and virtually no punctuation. It was the first time that we'd run into the problem. Struggling through what he was trying to write I eventually gave him 70%. He complained saying that grammar and punctuations weren't listed as requirements in the assignment. The professor found me to be generous with the grade.
No, most of it wasn't true. Some of it may have been true, from a certain point of view. Some of it would have been true, but they made mountains out of mole hills with it. Typical scaremongering.
When everyone says "Hacked the election", no one is saying that the Russians changed ballot counts. Think of it like the blog posts like "Hack your life, to get more job interviews". Russia intentionally disseminated false information to change how US registered voters would vote. That's the hacking.
I don't know if they do like it. I asked someone who talked about switching default settings on his latest device, if they found the default search to be inferior. He said that he didn't; he just wanted to switch because he was a creature of habit.
Why do I, as an ISP, need to build out my network so that some Silicon Valley company can serve ads to my subscribers when the subscribers don't even want ads?
Because without the ads, lots of the websites which are the reasons why people pay an ISP won't exist. Once there isn't enough content for people to want to use the internet anymore, they'll stop requiring your service as an ISP.
I also suspect that given how the NSA is soley focused on American national security, that if you're not doing anything to endanger that, the NSA isn't interested in you. And most crimes don't effect American national security.
This is the only Trump policy that I actually agree with. So I'm on the horns of a dilemma.
Let me get you out of the horns of dilemma; this doesn't change anything. All this EO does is say that in 220 days, Trump is to get a report on his desk, informing him about the current situation and if there's anything he can do about it.
So what he's saying then is that there's nothing wrong with the law, it's just not being enforced?
It's not just that. This EO is saying that someone has 220 days to create a report, for Trump to review about how the law is not being enforced. That's all. The reason for all of this bluster is to make his trust-and-don't-verify support base think that he's actually doing something.
Only hours after the announcement, corporations all over America started hiring lawyers to find new loopholes in the law.
But this isn't a law. The Executive Branch doesn't make laws. All EO is doing is ordering some of Trumps reports to create a report by Thanksgiving to let him know what he can do about buying American made goods without Congresses approval. No corporations need to do a thing about this.
I popped in Forbidden Planet during a movie night once and all of the other guys kept saying "That's just like ", and I had to remind them that Forbidden Planet was done decades before those other movies with which they were familiar.
Its only purpose is to knock holes in a firewall by untrusted / untrustworthy devices.
It's main purpose is to knock holes in the firewall for devices on the LAN, behind the router. If I have an untrusted device on my side of the network that's a problem that I should fix, even without UPnP.

Why not create a book shaped explosive and then put a book cover around it?

You mean true information, right?
No, most of it wasn't true. Some of it may have been true, from a certain point of view. Some of it would have been true, but they made mountains out of mole hills with it. Typical scaremongering.

If we get to kick out Trump from what's gathered here, I'm willing to keep it. If it can't convict Trump, let it expire.
People choose google, because they like it
I don't know if they do like it. I asked someone who talked about switching default settings on his latest device, if they found the default search to be inferior. He said that he didn't; he just wanted to switch because he was a creature of habit.
I don't use Apple, Facebook or Alphabet.
Thats whats set the USA apart. Freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
To bad we don't have freedom after laughing. I'm facing jail time after laughing at Jeff Sessions.

I'd be surprised if Microsoft actually wrote the drivers rather than the vendors who supplied the components.
That may be true, but it still looks bad on Microsoft when their product line still has less than ideal drivers.

Here's a question for /. crowd, what's the most common valid use case for UP&P being required to do something the average worker/user needs to do?
Peer to peer communication works better with it. So things like Skype as well as multi player gaming.
But they'll be getting in less accidents than human piloted vehicles. Humans get blinded by the sun too.
