They haven't said no at all. What they have said is "maybe next year". He says it's not leadership, but sometimes that's what it takes. Anything to him other than "Yes, here's the money" appears to be seen as a rejection.
With the current mess and corruption going on in the US government at the moment, NASA are probably wondering if they'll actually be around next year, yet alone getting soil from Mars. Spending this much money at this time would give the assholes "running" the government a chance to say "Look at all this money NASA is wasting"
...much of the Tech "press" these days is little more than PR mouth pieces. Gone are the days where many of the tech journalists would dare criticise and scrutinise what was released. Now it's just pretty much "Take press release, swap words around, publish".
Actually it's a little unfair to call the journalists out (although many are NOT journalists), it's more a problem with editorial slop shops, to scared to upset people.
The are a few left, The Reg (although some articles are just PR slop), 404 Media, Aftermath and ARS Technica.
So it's no suprise that some are praising it, as they are just to lazy / incompetent/ corrupt to check the facts.
...when applying updates.
We would apply update to hot standby, reboot (yes Windows) Flip over, if all good, update main system, reboot, flip back.
After a couple of fuck ups (note there was a lot of dodgy hacks to get these hot standbys running, as the manufacturer told us it was impossible to do, but we did) we came across the genius idea.
As we had to do the work via RDP, simply changing the desktop colours completely eliminated the "Which server am I on?" Issue.
as a company, making Billions of Dollars every quarter, I'm happy that rather than pointing and going, "Look Bad", you're doing the decent thing and using a tiny fraction of your disgusting profits to pay to help them fix it.
No?
Then fuck off and carry on ripping people off by producing bug ridden software that is the cause of most of these issues.

There is the clause that information held has to be up to date and relevant.

"Good question. Before windows 8, setting up a device in Windows was straightforward. You would go into Control Panel and find the section you want. Since 8, thanks to constant UI changes and settings having a split personality disorder, I'm fucked if I know. I hope that answers your question".
...as a Cloudflare user, this is the website owners choice.
In Cloudflare, you as the owner of the site, get to choose your level of threat protection, even on the basic mode.
For example, if you try to get to my backend, outside of the UK, you're going to get blocked.
Same for accessing the front end from many countries (I only sell to the UK, so really don't care if China can't scrape the content).
However for legitimate traffic, there is multiple options on bot / malicious traffic detection, from js detection, captcha, blocking known bots etc etc.
My guess is a lot of these sites are enforcing strict blocking, after all, how many here can't get to the reg?
You're misreading it.
Let's use BT / Openreach as a UK example.
BT as it was, owned most of the telecoms infrastructure that the UK depended on.
So we'll call this the Windows part, as people need these to get the job done.
Now anyone can run broadband on top of this.
Let's call this the Azure part, as there is plenty of competition and people can charge what they want for this service.
A customer with BT broadband will pay £30 per month, as BT discounts its underlying phone line part because your using BT broadband
BT charge the competition (the azure bit) £80 per month just to use BT"s phone lines to provide their broadband service to the end customer.
Now see the problem?
More fool you.
I've been using 2nd hand phones for well over a decade, as have my kids and parents. Throw in a couple of iPads and all my PC's for close on 15 years.
Never had any issues.
But feel free to keep buying new, im going need a replacement for this 6 year old Huawei at some point.
"claiming it will result in the creation of between 20,000 and 25,000 high-paying jobs."
These figures are always complete and utter bullshit, every fucking time.
For starters where are these 20+ thousand people going to come from? Tech companies keep saying there is a skills shortage (try training people you vacuous cunts), so immigration? Nope.
Maybe there should be a law where if these jobs don't materialise, they pay that non-existent person's tax to the government anyway
Suddenly watch these numbers halve at a minimum.
