Second line picks up the guns dropped by the first line. Makes sense, in a Russian kind of way.

I think you meant "propagated".

How do you monitor your email functionality? How long would it be before you noticed it was offline? What about paying for and configuring the new email server?

No.

If you ever so carefully paint yourself into a corner then the corner is where you will be stuck. How badly do you want out of your corner?

There are FOSS and SAAS options that could work if you wanted them to... but whether they will depends on you.

Meat eaters trying to become vegetarian for ethical reasons often fail because the "un-meat" options out there don't meet their standards. Success almost always requires some letting go and re-adjusting. If you are not open to that then don't force yourself to put up with something you don't really want.

I know, I am just someone on the Internet, but I was acquainted with someone who fasted for 40 days... twice (a little over a year apart I think)... in pursuit of some kind of spiritual enlightenment. He started out a little on the heavy side, and ended up, well, emaciated. Anyway, he did have water, which is where I think this woman's story falls apart.

We have a political environment that lacks credible independent commentators (e.g. Walter Cronkite), so anyone presenting themselves as independent who calls bullshit on a politico is immediately labeled as biased.

I completely agree with this point. But using the conventions of "business hours" to drag people out of bed earlier allows them to get off work earlier and utilize the daylight they already have more fully. But it is without a doubt a psychological shell game.

While I can understand you wanting autosave on in your situation, I much prefer autosave off because I often open files to see what is in them and do not want to automatically modify them just because I accidentally hit a key and delete it. Automatically changing stuff is a choice you should have to make, not a feature that I have to race to disable.

Ouch on the Ubuntu bug!

Functions don't return... equals goto. Everything must be done by side effects... all variables are global. Global state mutation is inheritance... no grok. Every call is non-blocking and spawns a new thread... atomic bomb for junior software engineers.

??? ... shorting the stock of the company that adopts this.

Profit!
