I don't care how you slice it, 250 years isn't all that long. And your post really only underscores the fragility of the US government -- particularly at this point in history. To be the sixth oldest government: sort of sounds like it's due for some sort of correction, doesn't it? I mean, if historical world statistics are of any indication...
"Always"? No they do not always correct themselves. Countries can and do follow paths that they cannot recover from.
You are suggesting that the unraveling of the United States isn't part of the correction GP was referring to!
All this America, America, America rhetoric everywhere makes me believe people forget this county is less than 250 years old -- still in diapers compared to much of the world -- an analogy apparently not lost on many.
Sure, just eight people in the business. ?
If I recall Disney started with about that number...but, they never achieved anything you'd respect, did they???
Dessler was replying to a Score 0 post which asked how anyone could give advice without knowing the size of the company. He was not mocking the size of the company, as you seem to imply.
Dessler would have done you and himself a favor by quoting the post he was replying to.
Hope gas shoots up to $5 per gallon to get some of the mastodons off the roads and restore some rationality to the US auto market.
That's a fucked up thing to say. It's happened in recent years and the people fucked the most by $5 gas are not limp-dicked asshole Hummer drivers. It's the wage earners -- you know, the working class -- who take the hit.
Usage. This isn't a net neutrality issue at all. Local media outlets here picked up the story a few days ago. It wouldn't have any traction there if they couldn't use the term "net neutrality".
The reality of the situation is that the fire departments are solely responsible for ensuring that the equipment and services they require on their rigs are in place. In the case of SCCFD, they had the wrong goddamn plan and/or they failed to understand the terms of the plan. They were (are) public safety plans available from Verizon that exclude throttling. SCCFD did not purchase it. It's their responsibility as much as the hose on the truck is their responsibility.
I don't care if it's a clown crying "fire" if there really is a fire...
If you're depending on a critical message like "fire!" to be delivered properly, you really don't care that it's coming from Bozo? Compare a normal looking person screaming "fire" to a giant orange clown screaming "fire" -- your brain will spend extra cycles trying to cope with the existence of Bozo the Giant Orange Clown, his bouncing around, arms waving, before ever getting to the actual message. You really want these sorts of messages delivered in a serious, professional manner that commands attention and elicits the proper response quickly. Or you can spend extra time wondering, "is this guy fucking for real?"
Apply this to our orange friend in the WH. How do we take anything he says seriously? Can he credibly scream "fire" at this point?
Ignoring the rubbish that the OS will become unusable, I will point out that the 29 people who purchased an app from the Win 8 app store should have known better. And actually, they're okay too, as support is continuing until July 1, 2023.
But I feel you, though. Fuck Microsoft in the neck, right?
If Musk cannot prove in a timely manner (typically 5 to 10 days) that the price AND the offer to take private was valid
I would wager that information was already available prior to the tweet. It has likely already been provided to the SEC along with a box of chocolates. Do you think he is that stupid?
We're talking tens of millions of people here. We tend to think of them as unique identifiers in the sense of a primary key but in reality they definitely are not reliable in that capacity and never have been.
They are reliable enough as a unique identifier for the purposes of attempting identify theft, which was the parent poster's point. Unique enough as a primary key in some national database, okay perhaps not. But the identity thief does not require that level of accuracy to be successful -- and the IRS has no problem treating them as a unique identifier.

How long do you believe it takes to crack a proper implementation of AES-256?
You should try speaking in clear, concise, and complete sentences.

That's what she said.
The mini bar would be a better analogy. It's already there in the room you paid for. It's up to you whether or not you use it and pay the charge.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but PUCs *do* regulate cable companies, telcos and their ISP arms - the PUCs approve rate increases, for example.
In California, for example, the CPUC only regulates the video services provided by cable companies. They have nothing whatsoever to say about data.
This post is a disaster. I love it!

Big businesses need to be feared more than big governments
Why bother making the distinction? The line is beyond blurred, in the US anyway.
then we'll get feminine hygiene ads.
One man's ad is another man's porn. -_-
It is a 3D box.
It is an imaginary 3D box.
Bingo.

Nah... he had a couple bottles of water.
Is Facebook a "common carrier" or not when they have become a de facto Common / Town Square?
Assumes facts not in evidence. When was it determined that Facebook is a de facto Town Square? Who made that determination?
So, no. Facebook is not a common carrier.

These seem to be in plentiful supply these days.
