ok, it's vent time...

The next time anyone suggests holding a major event in the Fleet Center, they need to be muzzled, shot, whatever phrase you wish!

Granted, the Fleet is like 100 yards from I93, but there's a perfectly good convention center in South Boston, all new, shiney etc.

But it's too late now, the DNC mess is here :(

We now have one heck of a traffic mess with I93 being closed during the evening...

State troopers, dressed in black, stopping every moving truck and van that they think is a "risk" going in and out of Boston - thus slowing traffic down as we all gawk at the mess!

I for one will be glad when the democrats leave Boston on Thursday night, good riddins and thanks a bunch for screwing up lots of people's lives...

I agree.

The shutdown of 93 is a major headache. I am avoiding Boston at all costs.

I had a doctor's appointment there, for some experimental treatment on my cancer, and I had to cancel, thanks to the DNC. Traffic is a nightmare.

However, it's gotta be held somewhere. However, the FleetCenter is smack in the middle of everything!

Yeah, chill out, it's only a few days. I live in Seattle, WA. We have to deal with MAJOR traffic problems everyday, because of sports games in our new stadiums that are right next to the main non-freeway arterial into downtown Seattle. Freeways are ALWAYS jammed during the week. So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday, you can live with traffic hell for a few days.

Sorry to be a stickler, but Boo-fuking-hoo!

Try living on Oahu in Hawaii, where there is 3 freeways that merge into one to get into downtown Honolulu. Or, how about Los Angeles, where there is traffic for no damn reason at no particular time?

Maybe you Bostonians should learn the meaning of ALTERNATE travel. The Bay Area can have some pretty sick traffic at times, but if you're smart and plan ahead, you can avoid a good part of it.

On a side note to the DNC, I find it hilarious and really sad that they are fortifying Boston like a damn military base for these sorry ******s, yet they can't find a way to protect everyday citizens. Everytime I see this thing on the news it makes me sick.

grow up...it's only a few days
You grow up. Many business's are closing for the time because the city is virtually shut down. If you die the hearses can't take you away for security reasons.

Who are the idiots that okayed that planning?

So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday

If its an all time event then it should have been planned for. The DNC is a one time event which

wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for security concerns. There is a big difference between "heavy" traffic and no traffic.

jaccod

ALTERNATE travel

If you want to get into Boston you can't, it is closed. Not heavey traffic...no traffic. There are no alternate routes. Believe we know about heavey traffic. The "Big Dig" didn't help to alleviate it.

The original idea still stands. Chill out, you'll get over it. There isn't any reason to bring it up on this forum. Everyone has to deal with some crap they can't stand. Yet do you see everyone bringing there issues up on this forum and that is because we have better things to do and we all know we'll get past it. Like I said there isn't any reason for you to bring it up on this forum. Get over it.

Seattle traffic is nasty, but we live with it. We have a good bus system and simple commuter rail, but the liberals here are killing any effort for true mass transit.

I noticed that the post was made by a different person then the person who started this thread. However, what I said still stands because if you identify with that person who started this thread they what I said applies to you too.

The conventionis part of our process. The extra guards are necessary to assist in the prevention of any violence. Live with it - its only 1 week.

Okay I must retract my prior post. I forgot construction on the main artery was incomplete.

Idiots for planning that. It must have been demanded by Kerry

No, but thanks for trying. It was demanded by Menino. He consistently stated Boston could handle the influx of people, and wanted to make Boston look like a viable large city for future events.

Or maybe it wasn't Menino, maybe it was everyone trying to take orders from Mayor Mumbles who got it wrong. Either way, I wouldn't be in town this week if I could avoid it.

the convention didn't pop up over night - it's been planned for over a year. you COULD have planned to be out of town this week

leave your town, the democrats are coming to visit. i mean, come on, why are people's lives being inconvienced for a convention. The RNC isn't going to close many business unlike the DNC which closed almost all businesses around it. The RNC is going to help business, not hurt it, and trains wil still run (though more secure), but daily NY will continue. Unlike in boston.

Never been to Boston, have you? It's about 1/100 the size of New York. Plus, let's see how the RNC turns out, ok? My guess is they'll be just as many people complaining.

It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
