I think what you meant to say is that your are amazed that a politician has so quickly fulfilled his campaign promises:
He's not done any such thing, not even close.
No wall built. No taxes released. No mass deportation of brown people. No draining of the swamp. Didn't lock Hillary up. Didn't appoint a Special Prosecutor to "look into" Hillary's crimes, both real and imagined. Didn't repeal Obamacare "on day one". Isn't going to "leave Social Security as is" (as he promised). Hasn't ‘taken the oil’ from ISIS, and he never will. That's a war crime. Hasn't brought the steel industry back to Pennsylvania, and he never will. Hasn't brought the coal industry back to life in the Appalachian Mountain region, and he never will. Coal is over and it's never coming back.
And so on. Oh sure, he's signed a bunch of executive orders, but those are barely worth the paper they're printed on. It's like saying that you'll lose 50 pounds this year...you may have the intent to do it AND the good faith to do it AND the ability to do it, but oftentimes it still doesn't happen.
You own it, you have to deploy it, keep it secure and keep it up to date.
And what's your point?
The fact is that Microsoft had hoped to have about 10 times as many users on O365 by now, but the "buy it - own it" mentality is still very popular. I'm sure that after they discontinue the installable version, the number of online users will rise.
But how do you know what your friends had for breakfast or see the latest picture of their cat and comment "Ohh... Soo... Cute"? Do you mail postcards back and forth to keep up to date?
I just log in to the cameras I've secreted throughout their homes.
Donald Trump is a national disgrace, and his supporters (along with non-voters) should be ashamed of themselves.
Agreed.
This is what his inbred, goober-filled voter base wanted, and now they have it. They wanted mindless, knee-jerk responses to complex problems and a Mussolini-style tough guy who will never admit he's wrong.
As opposed to simply pointing to the fact that the seven countries in question are (as identified by the Obama administration hotbeds of violent jihaddi output?
Sorry, but the election is over and you don't get to point the finger at Obama when Trump does all his daffy shit. He could have made his own list. Remember, he "knows more than all the Generals", he said so himself.
It's odd, isn't it, that not one of the countries where Trump has business interests made it on to the list, including Saudi Arabia where almost all of the 9/11 hijackers came from?
I'm sure that's just a funny coincidence, kind of like how Trump now wants to drop all sanctions against Russia for no apparent reason, and without asking for anything in return.
However, the same set of statistics show that nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by citizens from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in the same time period - with the bulk of those killed being victims of the 9/11 attacks. Yet, people from those three countries are still welcome to apply for U.S. visas and travel permits.
Yep. And it's funny how they never mention that the second-worst terrorist attack on US soil was done by a white, American-born fanatic named Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people (including 19 of whom were children under the age of six) when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
But that wasn't terrorism, oh no, that was ummm, a "disgruntled lone wolf", yeah, that's the ticket.
I avoided this personal data breach and self-incrimination faux pas by just not having a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account. And somehow my life doesn't seem to have suffered...
This sounds interesting to say the least, but I'd be more interested to hear about what potential applications these "time crystals" might be used for.
High-density storage? Super-batteries? Time portals?
It's disheartening to realize that I, just an average Joe, have better, more secure backup procedures than the police department in Cockrell Hill, Texas.
Yeah, maybe they're just a podunk little town in the middle of nowhere, but still...
I think it's safe to say that at the time we all felt a collective sense of horror at how they died, and at the loss of three brave men who lost their lives for no good reason. They were willing to take extraordinary risks as astronauts, but to burn to death due to a series of egregiously bad engineering decisions made it even sadder.
Exactly what would cause you to casually notice that the random jellybeans that *someone else* meant to take out of a jar were still there?
Oh gosh, I don't know...log files? Sanity checks? System audits? Function testing? The fact that the jellybean jar is now the size of my local Wal-Mart?
Seriously, if you don't see why this whole "oops-we-fergot-to-actually-delete-yer-file" thing is super suspicious, then there's probably nothing I can say that would make it clear.
Was it 8 years worth of data, or just data from 8 years ago? Big difference, and the summary at least indicates the latter.
I think it's awfully trusting of you to believe that they weren't saving everything deliberately.
It seems ridiculously unlikely that this sort of thing could go on for 8 years without anyone noticing. If nothing else, the need for constantly increasing storage should have made someone wonder what was going on.
But seriously, one of their key functions, namely "deleting a file" didn't work and no one noticed for almost a decade?
"Dropbox says it will keep files around a maximum 60 days after users deleted them."
Obviously this is wrong, and to suggest that Dropbox had no idea that this was happening seems a bit naive, no?
Deleting files is one of the primary bits of functionality that Dropbox has; to think that somehow they flubbed the code to remove a file is, to me, flatly unbelievable.

Compared to Obama supporters blaming everything Obama did on Bush, for eight years straight?
You mean the way Bush supporters blamed everything Bush did on Clinton, for eight years straight?
Azure is very successful. O365, not so much.
not mentioned because not relevant. Timmy was not a member of any international terrorist organization. He was a lone wolf. you have no point
Oh, so what he did wasn't politically-motivated "terrorism"? Ninja please.
They can figure out your views from posting on sites like this, or do you not use the internet at all ?
I never use the internet at all.

You'll see that "has trump business interests" is a poor predictor of whether a majority-muslim country escaped the moratorium.
Yes, but does he still know more than all the generals? And when do we get to see his taxes?
You own it, you have to deploy it, keep it secure and keep it up to date.

I wouldn't call 25 million subscribers "failing".
Given their user base, I wouldn't call it "succeeding", either.

All hail Mein Furher Trump. I can hardly wait to see the reports on his concentration camps, errr, I mean "temporary involuntary visitor centers".
Microsoft STILL hasn't figured out that most people prefer to own something than rent something.
Their quest for the almighty "endless-subscription" cash-cow is failing.

It's not like I follow telecom news, but I never heard of them.

It is not unthinkable at all that undeleted files go unnoticed. It happens all the time where I work.
Really, you guys lose track of petabytes of data and no one notices for the better part of a decade?
Please tell me who you work for so I can avoid them like the plague.

Modular phones are not going to happen....stop trying to make them happen.
So if they found 350,000 fake accounts, why doesn't Twitter remove or deactivate them? Why in the world would you want to keep them?
