It's difficult for me to imagine living in '50s Quebec or Central or S. America where *everybody*'s pretty much Catholic (or anything else; Hindu, Buddhism, Shinto, ...).

Are they somehow convinced the release of a database or spreadsheet would corrupt the data stored on their local drives?
No, it'd allow anyone to "corrupt" the answer they're offering to give. "You asked "this", we answered "this", now we're done." You can take your sorting lines (or tuples) and summing columns stuff up with the 50s. Search is right out!

That was just one twisted sexual deviant misogynist. Even the RCs dumped him in record time. This is institutionalized shunning, a la the original untouchables, which is just a small step above servitude. I'm not happy about prisons reaching out to exert control over those who've served their time.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: it costs Comcast the same to deliver 10 Mbps as it does to deliver 50 Mbps,
I prefer to minimize complexity.
Sometimes trying to describe complex systems simply leads to misunderstandings.
There's a trick to it. Watch for when their eyes start rolling up into their head. That's when you shake them back awake, then step back your description of the situation another (I don't know, 10 IQ points, or whatever your standard is). This even works on the oldest Grand-person you'll find. :-)
TL;DR, fully expected, holy crap Congress is dysfunctional. You should be angry.
Me, I'm listening to a Canadian reading me a quote from a woman's Facebook page extolling the wonders and virtues of PM Trudeau allied to David Suziki, and I'm trying not to puke listening. I feel like I already survived this about thirty years ago, so why's it happening again so soon?
That's clearly not going to happen anytime soon in Canada, as the government there makes good on its promise to consult the public on the deal.
In theory, Canada's gov't is supposed to work somewhere along the lines of "order and good gov't" on principle. This sounds very much along that line. Good for Mr. Trudeau. Check out the fine print, yes? What's the hurry anyway?

They're boning you for it from one direction, and losing it just as fast from another.
