Same for educational web sites I had to use for school.

Dam it: Beaver ate our internet, says tiny Canadian town of Tumbler Ridge

That's why you can get cables that have peppermint and Capsaicin in them. They make them for fiber and high voltage lines

Re: Only one feed into the town?

Between San Jose and Gilroy there is only one fiber ring. about 10 years ago that ring was cut. Land lines,cell phones, 911 and some ISP all went down

I know this is Canada but are were sure it 's just not a crappy ISP ?

Re: A CITIZEN'S rights

"ne big difference between USA and most other countries is that IIUC, US citizens while abroad must continue to comply with most US laws in addition to the laws of the country they are in unless doing so conflicts with the laws of the other country. Most other countries do not require its citizens to comply with laws that do not exist in the country they are visiting. Theoretically a 20 year old US citizen who has an alcoholic drink in a UK pub could be prosecuted upon their return to the US"

You are wrong . The only thing you can be prsocuted for in a forgien land by the US as an American is traveling to have sex with a minor, not paying your taxes to Uncle same and killing another american. Other wise you can get drunk, do drugs and kill kids and not be proscuted when you get back(unless those kids are American

The same folks that sued to stop people from looking the code.

What Huawei to go: Hundreds of Chinese tech giant's US workers to get pink slips – report

Re: A strategic decision....

No you are just not to publicly say it.

Re: A strategic decision....

"Interesting. Is that how it's being reported in the US? Or are you just making a statement based on some hazy, misremembered fake news?"

No it's being reported that the UK ambassador to the US said some unflattering things about trump. It's being suggested that Boris Johnson had something to do with the leak because he did not like the ambassador. Whatever the reason it was leaked to get rid of the ambassador

Yes, I've been swotting up on court evidence in advance, says Autonomy founder Mike Lynch

"The US company think's in a US court, where fair rules don't apply and the foreigner is guilty by default."

Um withholding evidence in the US is not even close to being legal. That will have the lawyers sanctioned. Possibly have your case dismissed.

Only in a murder trial do you have a last-minute proof that the prosecution keeps hidden until just the right time - twenty seconds before the commercial break.

Wow, that would mean the US more enlighten. I doubt that the UK would let prosecutors withhold evidence till the last minute. Not even the US does that

US border cops' secret racist Facebook group a total disgrace, says patrol chief. She should know, she was a member

Re: This surprises who, exactly?

In the US making arrest is law enforcement.

Re: This surprises who, exactly?

The Army National Guard and the air force are prohibited from doing law enforcement roles. THe Marines and Navy are not .

Re: Patrol?

Using data from 1980 to 2013, in the UK 66.6% of men and 52.7% of women were found to be either overweight or obese. The figures for Malta were 74.0% of men and 57.8% of women and for Iceland were 73.6% of men and 60.9% of women respectively. The UK had the fifth highest rate of obesity in Europe in 2015.

The UK is only less then half a percent behind the US

Re: keeping swappable spares in stock might make sense

The spares do not work even though the part number in the database says it should. Then you look down and notice the part numbers are different. I'm looking at you IBM and your so-called equivalent FRU parts. Or worse all your spares are faulty and the last spare kills the entire unit. Now not only do you need a new PSU but new board :).

Never ever say we have not had a failure in x time and do not expect one to ever happen.
