The longer they take the less relevant they become.
So much for a "bare metal" build, this is a classic DR scenario and should have been handled in a more timely manner.

Interesting about getting fired for using a couple of sites.

As this thread has problems with common decency and being civil, I'm closing it.

Sir, you forget yourself.

I very much doubt it.
AWS' (Amazon's) Terms of Service are particularly strict.


That was a quote from the irreverent UK tech paper I linked to, not mine.

Exactly.
This is what I'm talking about, rather than addressing the entirety of the response you focus on one, or two, small elements.

You're kidding, right...
Then they would be legal immigrates, that means taxable and improving their communities, etc.
You are falsely assuming that all immigrants have an opposing political view...

You do realise that illegal immigrants can't register to vote...
but why let that small fact get in the way of a good conspiracy...

What America refers to as conservative and what the UK does are very different things...

Tom, I think you have misunderstood how it worked within the EU, it wasn't driven by politics or big business. The whole bloc enjoy freedom of labour, much like working anywhere you wish within the...

Not just limited to tech firms, but all over American and international business and banking.
Face it the system is broken, but what can really be done to fix it ?

Both.
American capitalism is based on the pursuit of wealth, the government failed to limit how these companies could go about this pursuit and now we have few large firms controlling many aspects...

Capitalism at it most prevalent.
