Train maker's coder goes loco, choo-choo-chooses to flee to China with top-secret code – allegedly

Re: "Which hasn't struck me as particularly advanced either"

Land based transport avoids the "Global Force for the Petrodollar" that sails the IndoPacific routes ensuring "Freedom of Navigation" for those who use the Petrodollar in trade.

Similar deal with the desirability of Arctic Sea routes, the USN does not have a massive Arctic presence.

Not totally about moving goods efficiently, more about moving them freely and independently.

300,000 edgy folk pledge themselves on Facebook to storming supposedly UFO-tastic Area 51

Area 51 Alien Center or Area 51 Alien Travel Center

Make sure you get on the north side (US-6) where the gate is and not on the south side (US-95) with the Area 51 Alien Travel Center and Alien Cathouse brothel. The gates on that side are to the Nevada Test Site. They no longer test nuclear swords at the NTS, they now test only nuclear plowshares. Too bad for the NORKs that they did not think of marketing their program as peaceful.

The first three search results from DDG(Bing) for "Area 51 Alien Center" are for the travel center/whorehouse.

I live across the street from the travel center I have marked the date/time on my calendar to see the people on the wrong side.

Re: "the workforce doesn't carry the hopes and dreams of shareholders on their back"

Replacing a CEO affects the share price. That's it. and it's a biggie.

Corps are slaves to the equities market. Quarterly reports are THE performance metric. Long range planning and future value is old fashioned.

The immediate greed of the shareholders is what drives a corporation. That and the stock options handed out at the C level for price performance.

The CEO's only job is to sell the corporation to investors.

ReactOS 'a ripoff of the Windows Research Kernel', claims Microsoft kernel engineer

Re: ReactOS is in Alpha

Dave Cutler spawned VMS with a few, or more, beers, over a weekend.

Chances with WNT he could drink more and still produce a system for Microshat.

He's not a not a lawyer, so maybe nobody cares.

Until the legal team files a lawsuit...

ReactOS is old Windows 2000. And not even a full implementation.

This race is between Wine and ReactOS.

/etc/hosts restricts access into my private property

DoH gets around my ability to use /etc/hosts to limit who has access into my private property, my personal computing device.

I pay for bandwidth. I can restrict useless, to me, content from ever getting into the pipe.

This will just be another arms race.

Opportunity for a new browser that will have be aggressively proactive and scan the web page as it loads and change any links that are in /etc/hosts to whatever /etc/hosts specifies as the IP address.

Same as it ever was, the powerful taking authority away from the individual.
