    Really? Thank you for defining such a complex word.


    It was in jest, the alliteration with the Ts was too much to pass up.

    The first step would be to invent this "gmail exchange server" that is apparently some sort of fantasy collaboration between Alphabet and Microsoft.

    Once this "gmail exchange server" product actually exists, you can look for exploits, but until then there's no way to answer that sort of question.

    Good post. I saw a panel on CSPAN a couple of months ago and I can't remember who it was but he was talking about how this conception we have of bipartisanship being the norm we should go back to is really not true. Obstructionism has been around for a long long time. Truman and the Republican Congress then comes to mind. One could probably argue that the current GOP has taken it to new levels though (See Supreme Court nominee).

    A fake news masterpiece. This is the real fake news, completely fabricated and so many people bought into it. A very good read.

    "That was exactly the insight on which Mr. Harris said he built his transient business: that people wanted to be fed evidence, however implausible, to support their beliefs. “At first it kind of shocked me — the response I was getting,” he said. “How easily people would believe it. It was almost like a sociological experiment,” added Mr. Harris, who majored in political science and economics."

    See link for complete article.
