I suspect the trolls keep their sock-puppets coordinated so as to maximize their effectiveness. Given the number of A/C's that post here, I wouldn't rule out some serious bot action either. Have you ever noticed the distinct similarities among A/C posts?
I wish I could outright filter out A/C posts, instead of just seeing them at -6.
Maybe - but (like so many of us) - I'm addicted. When there's an affordable battery fueled 3/4 ton pickup truck on the market, let me know. Until then, I'll keep sucking energy out of the slow carbon cycle and pumping the wastes into the fast carbon cycle.
Nope. Agnew and Flynn both quit before they got sent to PITA prison. D'ya suppose Trump'll pardon him? Something about "Terrible. Sad. A good man brought down by fake news like CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, and the Valley News and Green Sheet"?
No - he resigned because he's praying like hell he can get far enough away from the back-alley abortion that is the Trump regime^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hadministration to lose everyone's attention before he spends the rest of his natural life in prison. This guy's claim of "I forgot in the rush" or "oops, I didn't know you meant those Russians" is about as believable as the huge crowds at Trump's inauguration.
I'll admit Bill did some kinda plain lookin' women - but at least he doesn't need to buy his brides from "Russian-Brides.com" - and he didn't need rubber sheets.
Never have we had a President that was so hilarious before. I mean, really - first off, the guy's complexion looks like he's covered in santorum. His pithiest answer to any criticism is name-calling (which seems to be about as well as any of his sycophants can do). He apparently hasn't lived on Earth lately - or at least, has no clue what's really happening here. He's surrounded by people who can't differentiate reality from fiction (and no, calling them "alternative facts" doesn't make them true). His idea of a personal Viet Nam experience was avoiding STD's (not sure how well that went - they guy acts like he has syphilitic dementia).
I'd go on, but I really suppose I ought to leave the rest up to SNL.
So, how'd FOX spin this one. A response to the Bowling Green Massacre? Perhaps a response to those three million illegal immigrants that fraudulently voted? Muslim rape gangs roaming Europe's streets unopposed?
I could come up with more, but really - online, I can't watch your head asplode.
Yeah, but your datacenter doesn't produce over 50% (possibly as much as 85%) of the planet's O2 supply. Spaceship Earth needs her life-support systems operational if we're to continue living here.
Never mind saving bees, snowy owls or snail darters. We're talking about breathable air here. You wanna keep burning fossile fuels (actually, I kinda do)? You're gonna want something that'll at least turn CO2 back into O2, and a few national forests full of trees ain't gonna cut it!
Your advertising, however, does imply as much (although, yes: I understand what hostfiles can do and what they can't). So far (what, maybe an hour now?) it's done what I would want. So far, no downside. Page load times are predictably much better (then again, I'm not on my network, not using my DNS. Using XFinity's default DNS on someone else's network).
Seems to be installed and running correctly. Not quite intuitive, I wouldn't recommend it for most end-users. Your explanation of how to install is clear enough but I think you're overestimating the average users' intelligence. That's okay, as anybody who can't figure it out probably wouldn't know how to apply any other security enhancements anyway.
Next test - VPN. I've occasionally had some DNS issues, especially when TOR'ing over a VPN in Windows. NP from my Linux desktop, but as I may have mentioned I gave it up last year, when I bought an Asus Chi-T300. Just plain too much easier to use Win10 then to get Fedora up and running right.
I thought guys like you only watched FOX? Keep watching CNN and next thing you know, you'll be thinking for yourself!
Of course, you won't hear about Michael Flynn resigning until the Trump White House figures out how to spin this to look like anything other than a massive "oops!" moment.
Well, they said they're doubling the hotspot cap from 5GB to 10GB.
I only bumped my head on the 5GB limit once - root the phone, edit one text file and *poof* - no more hotspot cap (not perfect, as they were able to detect and block traffic from my desktop web browser, but the useragent plugin for Chrome fixed that). Rooting my phone broke Google Pay, but that's turned out to be a pretty sterile tool anyhow. I haven't rooted my phone since I bought a Nexus 5, and won't unless I bump my head on the new cap some day.
I don't think your software alone is the whole solution, and I'm not sure how it can prevent a ransomware attack against an enterprise target. I can certainly see how (in concert with VPN access and judicious use of TOR for certain activities) it could be part of an overall solution for several of the privacy and security concerns facing desktop users nowadays.
While I mislike running such software in what I still think of as kernelspace (ring-0, I think?), I recognize why this has to run there under Windows, unless you like answering UAC requests all day. I'm going to give it a shot - this time, on physical hardware in daily use instead of sandboxed in a carefully managed VM (having already confirmed in the VM that it doesn't do anything schiesty). I have no intention of endangering my system (for example, by intentionally permitting a ransomware attack on my machine). Since I've never fallen prey to any exploits I'm aware of, I doubt that I'll have anything to report on that score.
If it lives up to all you've claimed for it by itself, I'll be shocked. If it lives up to expectations, I'll be content. Suffice it to say I'll relate my experience with it here. I've seen what I consider a distinct improvement in your online comportment of late - let me go ahead and give your host lookup tool a shake. You'll hear back from me.
Yeah - but there have been reported incidents on the evening news where the rogue admin/engineer/architect has been so confident that he would prevail that "grey bar" cryptography has been ineffective. Now lead pipe cryptography, on the other hand, . . .
Besides, the threat of legal action makes getting your hostage data "freed" a waiting game. Who loses more in such a waiting game - the rogue programmer, possibly confined in a very boring place with a bunch of smelly people and bad food, or the enterprise paying rent, utilities and people to not do business as usual?
The numbers get worse when you factor in bridges, water mains, flood control mains, power plants (including nuclear, BTW). The nation's power grid (while not past EOL to the best of my knowledge) also cries out for some serious redesign and reimplementation.
Now, whether POTUS will actually rebuild our infrastructure or simply monetize this particular campaign promise remains to be seen. Doubtless, he'll see to rebuilding the infrastructure he has financial incentives to rebuild, but do let's wait and see.
The EU part of the subject of debate. I intentionally used non-EU examples to avoid calls of "bootstrapping" my point. The examples are still relevant, and I stand by my assertion that Netflix would probably rather not spend the time and expense to geoblock if they didn't have to. It would mean more profit for them, after all.
Virtually all US infrastructure beyond or at least nearing its engineered life span. I don't know about this particular dam, but in general when an old piece of infrastructure comes due for replacement, "the people" do a cost-benefit check and always decide to upgrade/repair/inspect the existing object instead of replacing it. If there's an afterlife, I very strongly suspect all the civil engineers there are screaming "I said tear it down and replace it in twenty years, not give it a good going-over!"
Regardless of the cause, the task for us now is certainly to tear down and replace this dam. Not a problem, an opportunity to see what we can do better this time. Spend the money, endure the inconvenience, pay the price and get the job done.

You better put down the keyboard and get going, or you're going to be late for your Bund meeting.
I suppose if they're allowed to make up alternative facts, it's really easy to explain anything!

Damnit! This isn't where I meant to post this. Apologies, P5.

"Administrivia". Okay, try some adult literature. It's a PDF - you know, one of those technical things.

Ask a grownup if you need help with the big words.
Trumped up alternative facts don't last long in the face of the truth. Deal with it.

Electricity is dangerous. I've seen video of Edison killing elephants just by touching them with wires!
