Having been through basic training, it isn't particularly brutal. The day are long and exhausting, the instructor is a jackass, but brutal is a very poor description.
Since he is talking about a government network and a government link, quite possibly the unreliable link is the most reliable system available for that particular location.
Mission critical means that you need to get it done even if someone else isn't getting their job done. Standing around in a huff and stomping your feet means that the mission critical information isn't getting moved. What he needs to do is find a way to accomplish his mission despite the difficulties, and then document the problems so they can be addressed.
In the summary, he said that it is a government network. Most likely, he has no control or authority to deal with the network issues. Therefore he has to come up with work arounds since telling the government they are messed up and need to fix their problems doesn't work very well.
One thing nobody seems to be saying, whatever you do have a good attitude. Even if you don't do anything different from your normal life, smile at people and ask how their day is going. Getting on a plane, smile and ask the stewardess at the gate how her day is. She won't have time to respond but it sets the habit. The security guard and the janitor wherever you work, say hello and talk to them. No one ever notices them so even if your bad at initial small talk they will be happy. It doesn't matter if you make an ass of yourself in front of the janitor, but it does give you practice at interacting with and meeting people. Just make sure to listen to whomever you ask a question of. After not to long you will improve your "initial contact" skills. You will also become known as the happy cheerful guy at the places you go to. Additionally, you will also start to appear, and feel, more confident.
A Skinnerbox, Hmmm, if you put the kids in a box and skin them when they are wrong you will probably greatly improve their dedication and attention to detail. Might have some complains from the parents though.
I remember the concrete highway 231 going through Huntsville Al. It was put down sometime in the late 60's to early 70's and it's still there. Sometime in the mid 90's they put asphalt on top but the concrete is still solid. It may cost more up from but the damn things last forever.
Your leaving out the other extreme. The parents did there part, but the doctor didn't listen to the patient. After all, they aren't doctors and patients can't be trusted. When they tried to shop around for other opinions they didn't get a serious look since a doctor had already written it off as nothing.
The government prohibited private purchases in both cases because it would be "unfair" for someone with the means to pay out of pocket to "jump the line" ahead of others and/or that letting physicians work outside the system would increase backlogs in the system. People in the US are afraid that government run health care will have the same problems, and the same "solutions" that Canada and the UK have had.
If your surprised by this, you must not have ever tried to tell a health care provider that they are doing something wrong. Just about all I've ever gotten is an obnoxious upturned nose. Very few doctors or nurses seem to pay attention to anybody who isn't a doctor or nurse.
The GOOD thing here (to most westerners) is that there is apparently a huge black market for these materials, which means that China can't control its own producers very well. This could lead to market reform in China - the market may be freed up as Chinese producers, seeking more profits, fight the political actors in China who favor export quotas. Freer Chinese markets = less power of the Chinese government on world trade.
You just might be surprised at how fast the producers fall in line with the Chinese government after one or two are executed.
You fail to realize why Tiananmen Square tactics work. When enough protesters are killed, nobody shows up for the next protest. It's hard to convince people to volunteer to be run over by a tank.
The problem in your statement is "restart". They never stopped. All the events your complaining about attempts to progressively increase pressure on North Korea to stop the research they said they would stop.
Quick note, the reason Bush didn't do those things and listed them as part of the "axis of evil" is that North Korea did not follow through on any of their commitments. The North did not stop or slow down its development at all. Carter got a Nobel Prize out of the deal and the North got a bunch of oil and food aid but the North did not fulfill a single commitment they made in the bargain.
Why put it over foreign soil? Put it over friendly soil very close to foreign soil. Put it over international waters near opponents waters. Why does everyone only think of watching enemies only during a hot war?

I wish I had mod points. This post isn't"informative" then I don't know what is.

And here is where it took a court case in Canada to change things.

I'm not sure how people get from "government provides health care" to "government prohibits the purchase of health care by private entities."
People get there because of restrictions in Canada and England that do effectively prohibit purchase of health care by private entities.
Ahh, I stand corrected. I got the impression from the article that China had huge domestic deposits.

In a free market, there is no bailout.
Another possibility, if people actually knew how much they were paying in taxes they would demand a tax reduction.
If you toughen up a little, bikes work just fine in the rain. You won't melt.
But if we had designed our lifestyle and our towns around public transportation instead of cars
It might have been better if we did, but we didn't and no amount of wishful thinking is going to bend reality to what we maybe should have done.
try the vibram five-fingers. I just got a pair and I'm loving them, at least so far.
It is totally presumptuous for the "elites" of the system to have completely changed the rules of the game by dismantling domestic industry
There has never been a time in history where the rules of the game were not in flux.

Does your wife know about this?
