There's a big difference between something that is alarming vs. probematic. Just because it isn't alarming doesn't mean they are wasting their time figuring out how to get things back in working order. In fact, one of the reasons it is not alarming is because the can do something to get things back in working order. You're like that guy who said Ray Kurzweil was afraid of death because he is interested in finding ways to avoid the unpleasant thing. I don't like lots of things; doesn't mean I am afraid of them. I do things to fix situations; doesn't mean they are alarming. Or are you alarmed every time something fails and you have to turn it off and back on again?

"Alarm" equates to panic. It is not a waste of time to attempt to set people straight when they use a term inappropriately. I may disagree with C. S. Lewis that the proper term for a waterfall is sublime as opposed to beautiful, but he does have a point. https://www.bing.com/search?q=...

The problem of face is a valid one, but the Chinese control of information within their nation is one reason why they won't have a problem with having to save face to their countrymen. I admit that I could be wrong on that though.

The situation the Japanese faced was more than a matter of saber rattling, though. https://www.bing.com/search?q=... returns some nifty explanations of all that was going on, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The multiple installation enables a satellite to keep working after an initial failure. All 18 spacecraft currently in space continue to operate, but one of them is now down to just two clocks.

Would seem to indicate that they are solving the Byzantine General problem within the "clock" itself and the other "clocks" really are just spares, as would be expected of such satellites. Do you really think it is a good idea to launch satillites that rely on timekeeping without including clocks that really are just spares?

https://www.bing.com/search?q=... turns up no result indicating that timekeeping is a Byzantine failure problem. That is, it is possible that a clock either always returns a correct result or an easily proven wrong result like returning a value 0. It is a bad search for this topic, but is the one I started with, so anyone reading this, learn from my mistake and do not use it for researching this topic.

I am an independent thinker. I am open about piracy(books, mostly) and am also open that I will make anyone who comes after me regret it. Since I go after books and not so much the latest blockbusters, that may be part of why they ignore me, but i have friends that are equally open about pirating blockbusters that seem to be left well enough alone. The best way it seems to be left alone for being an independent thinker is to be open on how it is a part of your values and not just something you have no clue what you are doing like the RIAA multimillion dollar supposed decision against who was it again, https://www.bing.com/search?q=... turns up some interesting results, but not the suit I am thinking of. But I suppose no longer sharing after you got yours may help, too.

Inoculation is very cheap in comparison to all the other health care products out there and while I'm not sure how much it costs for people with a deductable, if you can't afford to pay for it, there are programs to pay for most of the cost for such people.

Besta Pizza's logo was one well-known to the FBI as a pedo symbol. If it wasn't incriminating, then why did they change it when it was exposed? Here's the same symbol on the The Elpida part of the Ratcliffe Foundation's website: all the way at the bottom row, first photo, the wall mural. Archived here for when it gets deleted - and why would it ever get deleted if it's not incriminating? Clearly a pedo symbol, aka "BL" aka "Boy Lover" according to the FBI. The art in Podesta's house is super-creepy and definitely pedo. See that gold one of the man bent over backwards? That's a recreation of a photo that a serial killer took after he beheaded his victim. More importantly, powerful people are telling you not to pay any attention. What should you do when this happens?

The guy is screaming for the investigation to stop. This narrative is being forwarded by the same people who brought you the fake news about the election. Who do you trust? The gatekeepers that we know for a fact are corrupt, or a bunch of independent investigators? It's one thing if the investigation turns up nothing. But it is entirely another to shriek and demand that the investigation stop, and attack the investigators. It was the "crazies from the internet" who took down Michelle Fields and her lies. Nobody is telling you to believe a crazy conspiracy theory. Just read for yourself, make your own decisions, come to your own conclusions. Don't trust the gatekeepers, they don't deserve your trust. We're in a new era of real citizen journalism and the media is scared shitless.

I was having a discussion with a friend over the weekend, and he complained about how racist Trump is, so I asked what exactly was so racist about Trump. The only things he could come up with was the wall with Mexico, and a Muslim registry. When I pointed out that Hillary was for the wall as a senator, he had no response to that.

Why is it racist when Trump says it, but a great idea when Hillary does? Sexism.

http://www.bing.com/videos/sea...

As far as the registry goes, that has been in place for years, it isn't like Obama put a stop to it. Since 9/11, everyone entering the country (legally) registers at the border, and are fingerprinted and asked to give the address of their destination. How is it in any way different to somehow add that the person came from a Muslim country (which is already tracked!)?

Do you have a citation for this, or is it just the usual anti-government religion? Because most charities have a lot less oversight than governments.

Wrong.

Most of the studies show very low fraud rates (low single digit percents, like 2%)

Wrong

The exception is that Medicare has a fairly high fraud rate, but that's mostly doctors defrauding the system for more payments,

Rather than being an "exception", Medicare is the area where you can most easily see the actual rate of fraud that is more obscured for other government services. In reality fraud is just as high across the board for all other government services.

Where there is such easy money to be had, con-men (and women!) will flock.

Because government agencies have essentially zero accountability (who in Medicare or the VA has been fired for fraud? No-one) they will obviously have vastly worse rates of fraud than any private entity.

The fact that they only got one piece of major legislation through is to me testament to the fact that they were taking their time to do things right instead of pushing through more pre-written, unread garbage.

You can't be serious - Rep. Conyers admitted he never even read the bill - which is bad enough but he was the SPONSOR (AKA person responsible for submitting the bill for consideration) of the bill!

No, they didn't push "through more pre-written, un-read garbage"... They took 2,500 finely-crafted pages of un-read garbage, accepted exactly ZERO ammendments or changes to it, then immediately after passing the bill into law set about the task of correcting it. They failed to include a severability clause, for example, which under any other Supreme Court would have made the bill "all-or-nothing" - if any part was unconstitutional, the whole bill would be unconstitutional.

PPACA was poorly-drafted crap. the Dems knew it, the Republicans knew it (because they read it), and the American People got sold a bill of goods (If you lke your doctor youcan keep him, every family will save $2,500/yr, etc.)...

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-4 32/64-bit http://www.bing.com/search?q=%...

Less power/cpu/ram + IO use vs. DNS/routers/addons/antivirus (slows you) + less security issues/complexity. Compliments firewalls (w/ layered drivers blocking less used IP addys vs. hosts blocking more used domains) & DNS (lightens dns load). Gets data via 10 security sites.

Ads rob bandwidth/speed, security (malvertising), privacy (tracking) + anonymity.

Hosts add speed (hardcodes/adblocks), security (bad sites/poisoned dns), reliability (dns down), & anonymity (dns requestlogs/trackers) natively. Hosts != ClarityRay blockable (vs. souled-out to admen inferior wasteful redundant slow usermode addons)

Works vs. caps & HTTP PUSH ads w/ firewalls.

They have done a few ground breaking things.

1. XBOX Kinect
2. The BING search engine featuring pretty background images.
3. The Developers, Developers, Developers song by Steve Balmer, ex CEO.
4. Visual Studio, Visual Basic, and .NET
5. And who could forget Clippy and Microsoft Bob?
6. The Ribbon Interface.

and let's not forget about Microsoft Movie Maker. but they still didn't include it in Windows 10. :(

So while it is a mixed bag, they are trying and experimenting. Oh and don't forget they own MINECRAFT now!
