Did you follow Microsofts predatory business history?

You didn't touch my post, linking elsewhere. We're talking about Amazon. If they make a better product, good.

“Touch your post?” Huh? I dont understand. The closest example I know of Amazon today was 20 years ago, or ATT, or the Robber Baron era. I am talking big picture here. Making a better product, I have no doubt they might. They will sell it cheaper too and tie it into THEIR OPERATING SYSTEM. Lol.

I didnt see you link to anything I should read. Same basic story, 20 years later. Gobble up and or ruin or spit out small businesses. Ring unless partners with a huge company will get eaten alive by Amazon. Do I really care? Nope, I would not buy that doorbell product or the iPhone X.

One Wordprocessor, One Spreadsheet world we now live in. Markets completely and nearly monopolized. Glad Linux came along.

Accepting the status quo strengthened the Islamist and encourages fighting.

Israel has many Arab citizens that vote, own property, worship freely or can choose not to worship.

If you had to move the Middle East tomorrow, what country would you live in? One of the many that would put you in prison for speaking against Islam?

Personally, I am not a expert on politics and have no opinion on the politics of another country or my country...so no use in trying to get me involved in a topic that I have no clue about...but the point that I was trying to make..
"Before the UN General Assembly voted Thursday, Trump had threatened to punish any country that opposed him." ...Canada/Mexico and USA are currently involved in NAFTA and other international agreements! So "why rock the boat" when there so much other negotiations going on?
No win situation as far as I concerned!

The vote was a condemnation ( insult ) to the US, Where we chose to move our embassy is not the business of dictators in Syria, etc.

"Punishment" is not listening to additional request for money or possible favors from the US. Thankfully, Canada is well functioning democracy and doesn't need our money.

Peace.

Something a little different, MKUltra. I just finished watching 2 different shows on Netflix, where this was part of it:

• Netflix original series "Manhunt: Unabomber" portrays the psychological torture of 16 year old Harvard student, Theodore Kaczynski, by MKUltra researchers. Kaczynski was the perpetrator of serial bombings over a 17 year period and became known as the 'Unabomber'.
• 
  
• Wormwood, the 2017 Netflix documentary re-enactment mini-series, tells the story of Frank Olson and MKUltra through the eyes of his son, Eric.

"Project MKUltra, also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects, at times illegal, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

I believe Russia is running such a program on our man in the WH. I think all that sniffling is code to the Russians, sending them messages. Kind of like Morse Code, but sniffling. Sniffle Code. Код Sniffle

I dug up some evidence:

You can tell with that one sniffle, he was saying, Don't worry Brother Vlad, I won't enact more sanctions. Doesn't want that golden shower video to come out.

Here is one of the MK Ultra.

Mk ultra pilots were part of the Haarp program after graduating.

Trump getting nervous again, now trying to go after McCabe and Baker:

How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago


Wow, “FBI lawyer James Baker reassigned,” according to @FoxNews.
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago


Sadly, we are now at a point in our political life when anyone can be attacked for partisan gain. James Baker, who is stepping down as FBI General Counsel, served our country incredibly well for 25 years & deserves better. He is what we should all want our public servants to be.
James Comey‏Verified account @Comey 18h18 hours ago

"Haiti had sent 15,000 people. They “all have AIDS,” he grumbled, according to one person who attended the meeting and another person who was briefed about it by a different person who was there."

Forty thousand had come from Nigeria, Mr. Trump added. Once they had seen the United States, they would never “go back to their huts” in Africa, recalled the two officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss a sensitive conversation in the Oval Office."

You're linking to an opinion piece in a what's become a partisan outlet for the DNC.

Jame Baker may be a good guy caught up in the malstrom but his reassignment probably has more to do with leaking classified information about Gov spying on citizens.

--
James A. Baker, the general counsel for the FBI, is allegedly under a criminal investigation for an apparent connection to the story published in October 2016, according to several government officials. The Reuters report exposed the top secret security program built by Yahoo Inc. in 2015, that has not been disclosed by the U.S. government.

--
McCabe is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice IG for violation of the Hatch Act. When his wife was running for a state senate seat in Virginia, she received $675,000 either directly from Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe or from entities over which McAuliffe exercised total control.

Lots of public circumstantial evidence the WH, DOJ and FBI were partisan players in letting HRC skate. Also evidence same players used opposition research from HRC, as an excuse to gain FISA warrants and spy on Trump Campaign.

That is truly worse than watergate. We need to uncover the truth about both sides.

You mean Unix. Right?

Even though Linux = Linux Is Not UniX, to all intents and purposes it is. It was Initially released as a free unix clone.

I like using cPanel to the extent I do. My routine mistake is to cut and paste something, then it does not work.. and finally realize it’s that case sensitive. Lol. I learned on Data General and their Realtime Disk Operating System. Ha. Looking back what an absolute pain. Find disk, attach disk, open disk, write to disk, etc.

Do you remember DESQview ? Would let you run multiple programs under dos.

Remember the name, wasn't using it.

I used to be a corporate unix / Linux sysadmin (and later infosec) person so I remember the earlier unix and linux varieties well.
