  1. that's why I have ran Set-ExecutionPolicy -Unrestricted as an admin on all my servers! One, I just don't care. Two, I want to be able to run Powershell from the command line without any hassle. Did I mention I don't care?

  2. I suggest a modest revision of Swift's "A Modest Proposal"...that's what I expect to happen in the new Gilded Trump Age.

    my perception is based on the reality of what I am seeing well, I think I found your problem. Being in management, your perception is supposed to be based on what you WANT to happen. Even if it doesn't happen, you still pretend like it did, blame someone else, and move on to the next project!

    One would think Apple would have some type of back-end API allowing copyright holders, trademark holders, etc, to automatically check at least the icons and graphics used in the App Store. No app should stay up very long if it's using infringing icons. I'm waiting for Microsoft to sue Apple and these "app developers" for copyright and trademark infringement...Apple at least pretends this is against policy and supposedly reviews everything before allowing it to go live which would make them culpable in a lawsuit.

    But, as we all know, that would take quite a bit of work, and cost Apple in both their 30%, building such a system, etc. It's a better profit method to just let it all run rampant and worry about whatever happens once it gets to court.

    so much news coverage over EVERY SINGLE person he so much as considers for a position because the people he's wanting to appoint are mostly WAY out there. Blatant racists, anti-Semitics, anti-education, etc. He's gathering up all the "outsiders" for these positions...there is a reason their "outsiders". Look at Betsy DeVos, Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, Mark Jamison, etc. These picks are people who hate the current system and will dismantle it all, and turn it over to whatever corp will pay the most. Many of them are already considered on the fringe of the fringe, and will quickly destroy everything they can. Say goodbye to clean air, clean water, public schools, net neutrality, woman's rights, workplace safety, and most of the other ideals that make the US a "modern civilized nation". Say hello to nation-wide "stop and frisk", "papers please", corporate monopolies, massive funding for "Christian" charter schools, and a trade war with China.

  8. think they were not the primary force in electing Trump.. Then you'd be correct. The "primary force" was first-time, or at least "first in a long time" voters. People how hadn't voted for several cycles. That's why the polls were all off; those people weren't even IN their dataset.

    The same ones that equate streaming with downloading. If your just streaming, your not actually downloading anything "whole" unless your purposely using some software to capture it all. Services like Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube etc are streaming. Programs / plugins like www.youtube-mp3.org allow you to capture said streams to a file. Bit torrent is a protocol. DASH (Dynamic Streaming over HTTP) is the streaming protocol of Netflix. Linda Dalgetty isn't an IT person, she's the "vice-president of finance and services" so doesn't really know what she's talking about here. However, I'm sure she's right about the "immediate impact" since I bet most people bittorrenting just left their torrent up after getting it and chewed up huge amounts of bandwidth. Yet even if there was zero impact on network health this has nothing to do with that; they are blocking this due to legal and fiscal responsibility.

  20. The EPA in it's current form wouldn't exist in the California Free State. There are many safe, low-waste reactor designs. But yeah, there are quite a few "back to nature" eco-nuts in CA that would oppose anything like that...

  21. The only thing that ever brings the US together is a major external threat. Humans, by their very biological nature, can't help but "go tribal". It's built into our very DNA. We're not nearly as bad as our primate relatives, but the impulse of "you don't look like me so I don't trust you" is still encoded. If we count the actual numbers of voters, it's more like 25% vs 25%, with the other 50% not caring enough to even bother engaging in the "conversation" that is voting.

    Personally, I didn't bother voting. I live in Oklahoma, so it was guaranteed 100% for Trump. The Democrats could nominate Jesus himself, and the Republicans could nominate Cthulhu and Oklahoma would still vote Republican as long as Cthulhu promised to eat the souls of Muslims and immigrants first. The way I saw it was Hillary=proxy was with Russia and Trump=trade war with China.

    The only real cure is a more representative system, something more akin to a Parliament and proportional governance. The current system was designed when we only had 18 states and a far less diverse population. The country has evolved, the system not so much. We really need a 4th branch of government that is comprised of a coalition of various parties that get X seats for Y number of registered voters of that party that then the party itself votes on who to occupy the seats.

  22. Jesus was a German? Interesting!

    I never knew that ancient Sumeria (the history of beer) was also German, and just now learned that Germany has existed for over 3,900 years.

    The US has over 5X the population of Italy, so we eat more of everything than Italy.
