   Yeah, I moved over to OpenBSD from FreeBSD because of their no-bullshit approach to supporting IPSEC -- everything just worked out of the box. I was thrilled when FreeBSD added IPSEC support in 11-RELEASE, but was less excited to learn that

   Try being a non-EU citizen using London as a base for a summer travel, and being required to interact with Border Force wankers on every transit through the country. They're invasively racist at every turn: Here's a credit card a

   My wife and I used the UK for a base last summer for a European tour. Big mistake: it doesn't matter which airport you're flying into: the lines are 80 miles long at LHR, the border agents at LGW look like it's 4:45PM on Frid

   I was responding sarcastically, but forgot the /s afterwards. My bad. He renounced his US citizenship and then got pissy when the US wouldn't let him back in. It was hilarious.

    From what I've heard, no amount of outsourcing and spending on contractors will fix what ails Deutsche technology. Burn it all down and start again?

    So the military faces the same regulatory reporting challenges banks do: ambiguous orders on what to report come down from regulatory committees with no context attached, which you are in turn forced to interpret. When your interpretation i

    Cold War humor was an odd beast. I came across this book in my father's collection a while back: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3536429-no-laughing-matte... It's a hoot.

    So glad The Expanse is back on. Last night's episode was amazing; I'm surprised there hasn't been more coverage of the show in the press. A fine return to form for SyFy.

    I'm not saying "don't expel people who break our rules" -- I'm saying don't change the rules halfway though the game.

    The people being detained here have obeyed all of the rules (visa holders, permanent residents), and are still getting screwed. I skew right of center and am usually the last person to get pissed off enough to protest on the streets, but I

    Please point me to the non-partisan, non-hack, non-goldbug study that tells you that the US cannot support its current debt load. The feeding frenzy at every new treasury auction tells me that there's plenty of space yet for us to issu

    We don't necessarily go shopping at malls, but on oppressively warm days, we'll take the tykes down to the local mall and use their indoor playspaces. And while we're hanging about for a couple of hours, we'll make impul
