Muslims believe in Christ too. Does that make them Christians? Or, by the same mechanism, are Christians also Jews (Jesus was a Jew)?

Let me guess, the most secure elections are those that have only white voters.

piece of crap, it was so incredibly bad that we decided to install the binary so that the security peeps were happy, and then we disabled the service.

It was making our servers unusable, and they refused to fix it when we opened tickets.

The period where this was true only started after the second World War.
Before then the US was just as egotistical and self-absorbed as it is today. That is the reason why it joined so late in both World Wars.
So you could say the US is simply returning to its default stance on world affairs.

Having the datacenters in Europe is just one of the requirements. More important is the legal aspects of who has control.

American and Chinese companies have to abide by the laws of their home countries first, so they will screw over Europeans every time no matter where the datacenter is located.

Also, all that money will be going into European pockets. For the longest time all those funds were spent on foreign companies with hardly any footprint in Europe.

I'm personally seeing the effect in Belgium, with companies in my field popping up like mushrooms in autumn. It used to be difficult finding a decent job over here, because my specialty was only in demand by US companies that weren't hiring in Europe. All that is changing,and so I think the money is well spent.

The number of life years lost is significant IIRC.

I love how this shows compassion for people who likely caused their own problems. Nurses are the best of us.

You are commenting on this as if the leadership we're talking about is acting competently and in good faith: that they're there to run a department to the best of their abilities.

That's not what they're there to do. And at that point problems become systematic, it doesn't matter who made this screw up when the entire department is being screwed.

I've been wondering about this. Why not use an artificial lake for the second cycle? It helps with regulating floods and droughts. Psychologically it gets the farmers on board, as well as the evironmentalists.

They turn orange when the chlorophyll breaks down.

Ah ze de Fons!

That's hardly practical. I recently had to crack open a Lenovo Thinkpad to replace the CMOS battery, and I ended up accidentally breaking off one of the plastic bits at the back.

But I guess that's better than something that's glued shut. Still, room for improvement?

So that's what those linux stickers are for!

Userid checks out (age) :). Hope you're doing better
