I love the whole Peewee Herman "I meant to do that" apologetic being pedaled by Redmond and its shills. Anything but admit that the majority of Windows 10 users view Edge as nothing more than the Chrome download app.
If you're trying to minimize the threat Putin represents, then it's little more than attempt to whitewash the actions of he and his government. This is a man who ordered a piece of a sovereign state's territory to be annexed, and ordered his military's soldiers, out of uniform, to invade other areas of that sovereign state. He is a major opponent of the West, and I refuse to buy the whole "he's not that bad a guy" routine. Yes, he is very much that bad a guy.
I'll leave the idolization of Putin to people like you. The kremlin remains a geopolitical opponent to the West. I'm done even buying even the slightest bit into the idea that Putin is nothing more than an aggressive leader who, while showing some mastery at turning his nation's fundamental economic weakness into an advantage via cyberattacks, is someone who needs to be contained now more than ever.
The Russian people I have a great deal of admiration for. Putin earns my grudging admiration for his skill at taking advantage of Western weakness, but there's enough of his hand showing now to demonstrate that he's no friend of the West, and I think every measure should be taken to both severely punish Russia and mitigate its cyberpropoganda strategies.
You know what might be interesting, if Slashdot and other online forums actively started weeding out Russian IPs. It wouldn't be perfect, of course, as they can always use proxy servers, but as the moronic St. Petersburg troll who got outed on Twitter shows, these Putinbots aren't really that sophisticated.
Frankly I think we should chop all the copper and fiber, and start blocking satellite signals to anything Russian. Put an electronic embargo on Russian packets. On the plus side, we'd see a lot less Russian mob fraud and phishing scams.
Which Liberals were those? Since the Truman Doctrine was instituted (you know, Democratic President Harry Truman), Democratic and Republican Administrations have both made containment a cornerstone of their dealings with the Kremlin. Even in the post-Soviet era, while cooperation increased, the US still sought to maintain and even enlarge NATO.
That is, up until the current *Republican* Administration.
Which is while they'll dump Trump. Unless he can change course and actually learn what his job is, he's simply going to be ignored for the most part in the halls of power. The bill killing his ability to tamper with the Russian sanctions is only the beginning as Congress ringfences what it views as important policies from the seemingly mindless tampering of the current Administration.
If his overall popularity stays in the mid-to-high 30s into 2020, how is it you imagine he can win, particularly if the Democrats field a less problematic candidate than Clinton? For goodness sake, Trump's popularity is falling even in red states, so the idea that he somehow is an unstoppable force seems hard to imagine.
Still he has three years to prove himself, and maybe at some point he will start acting like a POTUS, but for now, it's hard to imagine him achieving 2020 victory.
Unless Trump figures out a way to bump up his popularity, I'd say it's unlikely he even win his own party's nomination. With a few exceptions, Republican lawmakers and Republican governors view the man with disbelief and contempt, and despise the fact that a shrinking Trumpian base still represents a threat to many of them in the 2018 and 2020 elections. They are politically forced to stand with the President for the most part (though they clearly no longer view him as any kind of leader in the sense of policy and legislation), but if he can't start acting like a president and not picking idiotic fights with the NFL even while a humanitarian disaster is occurring in Puerto Rico, then I'd say there's a good chance he's going to be given the boot by his own party.
I imagine the people most concerned would be people with embedded hardware. I have a number of custom-built routers all running 32 bit processors with a 1gb of RAM and SSD drives. They work well as routers/VPN gateways, but since they are Internet-facing, I want to make sure everything is up to date. If I can't find a distro that will continue to support security updates, I will have to replace these systems.
So if I post under a fake Twitter account that you're a raging pedophile and catfucker, calling you out by name and warning your neighbors to keep their kids and cats away from you, that's like totally just parody, right?
I've never people more dedicated to trying to avoid the obvious; that they were duped by a dedicated and elaborate propaganda campaign by Russia to assist Donald Trump in getting elected than the alt-right.
I'm not sure why they're paying attention to the Administration at all. Nobody else is. Congress is basically acting as if the White House was vacant (which, in a metaphorical sense, it is)
I don't really care what the source of the report is, since my first day of Pascal programming, I've firmly believed strongly typed languages impose a level of planning and discipline, and this makes at least certain kinds of bugs much less likely.
If he won, it was by people who haven't moved on. Even if manufacturing comes back to the Rust Belt, it will only hire a fraction of those that it did before, and if the way things are going right now, it will come back because various levels of government are basically willing to use tax money, deferred or otherwise, to bribe them back.
IN the post-WWII era trade liberalization has been about creating economic interdependence as jobs or wealth. It was believed that increasing economic interdependence would reduce the likelihood of hostility between countries joined in a liberal and relatively open trade pact. But there are also significant benefits to any market, providing it is sufficiently mature and robust, being able to sell easily outside its borders, and certainly easing of trade restrictions is very good for consumers. The lesson of protectionism in the 18th and 19th century was that it didn't ultimately improve domestic economies, it tended to favor industrial and business indolence and inefficiency, as domestic manufacturers, protected from competition, ultimately served consumers poorly. Steel tariffs which protected domestic steel industries increased costs all the way down the line.
It's a lot different for developing economies, where local industry may need protection for some time, but one can hardly use that excuse for countries industrialized as long as the US. If what Trump and his supporters say is true, then the US has an incredibly weak, almost developing world-like economy, and I think we all know that's not true.
When you're taliking about Java, you're talking about financial institutions and other really large corporations. They build applications they intend to use for decades. That's where Java is king, and it has 20 years worth of toolkits for that purpose. This isn't a realm where people give a shit about the latest sexy language, and where security and reliability requirements are a helluva lot more stringent than, say, Facebook's.
Java's entrenchment is so vast in the enterprise world that about the only competitor is COBOL. It isn't an Internet Explorer, it literally is the 21st century version of Cobol, and will be around just as long.
I'm assuming they have also gone through the server logs to determine what his activity exactly was. If it was late (as it sounds like it was) and he was downloading a bunch of material off of file servers, then that's sure going to look like data theft to me, if not outright espionage. They may throw the harder charges at him and then accept a plea deal. At least the guy was caught, so that's something, but it also suggests that the company needs to work with their security to make sure it isn't just an almost-accident that catches someone doing nasty things on the company network.
By the time you factor in Uber's debt load, in technical terms, Uber has no assets; the bank has their assets. How this balloon hasn't completely deflated yet is beyond me.
Yes, but Jesus loves the internal combustion engine, and it is from Satan that electric vehicles arise. Remember the 11th Commandment; "Thou shalt have no other motive energy force than fossil fuels, so sayeth the Lord."
