He's a major party candidate, supported (if sometimes disliked) by roughly half the population. That's not a number of people you can fire or silence! Are you sure? Prop 8 was _passed_ (i.e. it was voted in favor of by more than

I have no idea what you're referring to. The OP took issue with the default algorithm(s) selection order over the course of two paragraphs. I noted they were recently changed in the latest OpenSSH release to exclude weak ciphers.

I think the OP means real companies, not startups who blog and don't seem to do much else.

As an adoptive parent myself, I know several couples who chose to not pursue biological children because of genetic conditions. Unfortunately, I also know some who chose to ignore the advice of their genetic counselor and now have 3 lovely,
