Re: So What ?
Do they pay different rates than other businesses that use the same amount of power? Where I've lived, businesses pay for a (for exampl) 500-amp service, and then the business rates for power. The only time I think it should matter is if what's being powered supports health and safety (like a hospital.)

Re: Others preferred
Wow! You had a 2400 baud modem in 83ish? We still had a rack full of 1200baud modems when I left the college at the end of 93. Of course, a dumb not-quite-Wyse terminal and 1200 baud modem taught me to touch type much more quickly than my highschool course. Of course I found out the hard way, by dropping DTR that my terminal/modem connection wasn't configured for xon-xoff...

Re: The whole thing is a worsening nightmare
I don't want any of them to know that I have a phone because its none of their business and I don't want anyone to link all of my logins to a single 2fa dongle. That means I have to have a non-USB one, actually I need one for each service because I don't want someone to find/take my 2fa dongle and then work backwards to find my accounts and my locations when accessing those accounts.
the convenience isnt' worth it to me. just give me a 128character password limit and I'll be safe.

Re: Based upon personal experience....
I've you're like me....you also include several examples of what to expect when you do it wrong and tell you how far back up the instructions you have to go to recover.
When I'm writing instructions, I always document the steps as I'm, for example building a new application server, performing them. Then I delete the VM and start over by following the instructions. When the instructions are complete, I do it one more time just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Maybe there will be different voices for reading aloud kids books compared to horror stories.
I want 'The Shining' read by Mr Rogers, and Lolita read by Elmer Fudd.
But what I really want is for a book with 20 characters to have 21 voices (including the narrarator). I want the male characters to sound male, the female characters to sound female, and the animals crossing the road to squeak.

That's what you think.
All I could think when I read the headline was 'Oh Fuck No You Aren't!' I already have to prevent my home machines from being able to access any microsoft.com networks to prevent projects, recipes and more important files from being destroyed by microsoft's idea of 'active hours'. When Its time to update, I change my firewall policy to allow and commit the changes to auto-rollback in 60 minutes.
