  • You missed 'warrentless' in your summary. It's sort of important.

    The push by the government here is because Canada is the only one of the Five-Eyes countries that doesn't have these powers, and for the government that's a bad thing.

  • Amazons assistance for account issues to organizations if an employee did anything individually is honestly horrible.

    They treat it like the organization is attempting to commandeer someone else's account so all the privacy protections you expect for your own stuff is applied no matter how much you can prove it is not some other individuals account.

    The best part is the billing issues that arise from that. In your example, if the previous engineer logged into that account (because they can) and racked up huge costs, assuming that account is getting billed or can be tied to your client, Amazon will demand your client pay for them, while at the same time refusing to assist in getting access to the account because it's someone else's. They hold you responsible, but unable to act in a responsible manner.

  • Or you don't have employees using their personal email to open corporate accounts.

    Still on Amazon to clearly tell people it is this way so they can properly plan for it, but employee's email addresses really shouldn't be used for the root account.

  • Ya ok, unless you looked at it wrong, then it crashed.

    OS 8 was a platinum theme over System 7. Which was a slightly better System 6, which wasn't significantly different than System 4.

    System 7 was good for the time, OS 8 and 9 were not, and Apples inability to improve the OS were really starting to show. Windows 95 was a more stable OS than OS 8. Tahoe is better.

  • Do you forget what Apple in '96 was? Or are you saying that Tahoe is too polished for the Apple of '96?

    Apple was not a bastion of quality in the 90's. They couldn't modernize the Mac OS, and that continued with little more than window dressing over what was released in the 80's. The Mac line up was a horrible mess of barely different models that needed a Ph.D to figure out what was different. The company was bleeding money and seriously close to bankruptcy.

    The Apple of the mid 90's wishes it could release something like Tahoe.
