Maybe you could delete my account. I'd prefer that. I think maybe I have a tendency to argue with people and this just isn't the place for it. Best to remove the temptation. If you aren't going to delete the account and comme

This is academic thinking. The infections will occur because nothing can be done about them. Omicron is too transmissible to contain. Everyone understands that now. There is no 'gambling' here because there is no dice to throw.

By the way, I wasn't the one that flagged your post. I dislike that facility.

Thanks for the context, I appreciate it. At the time I remember the concept of running PHP on Windows/IIS did have this air of 'hmmmmmmmmmmmno' associated with it. In my experience it ran fine, but for obvious reasons when sh

I figure - at least for the US - that that's the inevitable conclusion. Not necessarily FB, perhaps a govt service that's created along the lines of twitter, simple and straightforward. The internet is the de-facto public square,

I just like straightforward linear conversations in which questions are asked and answered. I don't like endless come-ons in which questions are responded to (not answered!) with more questions and a sentence fragment that seems design

Netgear DM200 or one of the Fritz!Box devices if you want VDSL/DSL support.

If you're on DSL, the DLink DM200 has an integrated adsl/vdsl modem that's supported by OpenWRT, and the platform is quite powerful. You'll need a second device for wifi though but that suits my use case. If you want a d

So the 1st amendment's wrong. Fix it somehow. Landline telephone companies are obliged by their terms of licence to serve all customers in their coverage area (i.e they can't deny the KKK a landline.) There's precedent for

This is all over the place. I've done this countless times when reinstalling laptops etc (because it saves redownloading 4GB worth of mailbox) and you just install thunderbird on the new machine, run it once, close it, make sure it clo

Is that really significant in any meaningful sense? A new crypto token launches every other day. Call me back when they get marketshare.

Yeah. You're the one calling this service - which has attracted a sizeable number of perfectly mainstream conservative writers - 'the perfect honeypot.' We definitely do have different ordinaries.
