Re:Sue?
I think you're confused. It's brits who like to sue. E.g. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvs...
That's just one example. You can google and find lots of other examples..
For another example of Brits "doing first and asking questions later" see Brexit.

Re:Thank god
She used a private email server for precisely one reason. She's old and she doesn't understand technology.
Then how did she end up with a private email server in the first place? You think a State Department employee is going to risk a sentence in federal pound-me-in-the-ass penitentiary for mishandling classified evidence of his own volition?
This excuse dog doesn't hunt. A mere two years after savaging the Bush Administration for using private email servers, she was doing the same thing herself.
So, either:
1) Hillary was a corrupt hypocritical hack full of hubris
2) Hillary displayed a level of competence such that she could be trusted only to stock the State Department Keurig machine. And frequently she would fuck up and order the decaf.Pick one. Either way, she had no business being a Senator, much less SOS, much less POTUS.

Re:ZERO evidence of Intent [Re:Good grief]
ZERO clear evidence was given of intent, period
Intent is batshit irrelevant. The DOJ agreed that a navy man prosecuted for taking selfies on a sub had no intent to distribute them. The man got himself in more trouble after trying to destroy evidence - so Hillary Clinton could easily be serving a lengthly sentence for obstruction of justice on top of mishandling classified evidence.

iPhone chargers are regular USB chargers with which you can recharge your Samsung phone if you feel like it. So no, all phones in the EU do not have to be USB. But they HAVE TO be able to recharge off of a USB charger, and the USB charger provided must be able to charge other devices.
And Apple fully comply to this.

Re:War: the robots win
That's the exact opposite of a battlefield, which is not a known environment (act like it is and the enemy will use that assumption against you), there are a very large number of possible actions, and being predictable can quickly turn into being dead.
You're delusional. The poker robots already exceed expert human players in precisely calibrating their lack of predictability.
Beyond video games: New artificial intelligence beats tactical experts in combat simulation
Fighter jet AI consistently beats "Top Gun" tactical experts
In early iterations, ALPHA easily beat other AI opponents. Lee repeatedly attempted to score a kill against more mature versions of ALPHA. However, the artificial intelligence combat simulator shot Lee out of the air every time during protracted engagements. ALPHA has bested Lee and other field experts.
"I was surprised at how aware and reactive it was," said Lee. "It seemed to be aware of my intentions and reacting instantly to my changes in flight and my missile deployment. It knew how to defeat the shot I was taking. It moved instantly between defensive and offensive actions as needed."
Lee has trained with thousands of U.S. Air Force pilots, flown in several fighter aircraft and graduated from the U.S. Fighter Weapons School, yet when Lee flies against ALPHA in hours-long sessions that mimic real missions, "I go home feeling washed out. I'm tired, drained and mentally exhausted. This may be artificial intelligence, but it represents a real challenge."
Presently, combat AI is a saber-toothed tribble-tigger confined to a small box. That box is heading for puberty real darn soon.

Re:The problem was lack of maintenance
My house would be under more than 100 feet of water if the dam fails catastrophically:

So now the DWR hoards water in this rainy season which, as is happening now, they're storing more water than it was designed to safely hold. We are now paying the price for that.

Re:That's becoming a meme
He flirts and hits on 10-15 year old girls regularly (often enough that there are multiple tapes of him doing it). He liked walked in on underage teenage girls naked changing and bragged about being the only man allowed to do it on the Howard Stern show. He had his staff try to encourage the underage teenage girls that were naked to flirt with him saying they were more likely to win the contests if they did. He talked about wanting to sleep with teenage girls on the Howard Stern show. In my opinion, that makes him a pedophile.

Re:Isn't this illegal?
She didn't delete any e-mails. That's a Trump alternative fact. I already posted once in this thread about it:
https://slashdot.org/comments....
There is zero evidence that Hillary broke any laws. None of the "classified information" in the e-mails was marked "classified" which is the big difference between those that are prosecuted and those that aren't. For unmarked information, you would have to prove that she was intentionally trying to leak classified information for it to be criminal. Should she have been more careful? Yes. Did she break the law? No.
Kellyanne Conway on the other hand broke the law on national television. President Pedophile is defending her for it. You don't see Republicans making a big deal about her breaking the law or any of the laws that President Pedophile has broken and been sued for. The media barely covered that he settled the fraud case against him. The media barely covered that he regularly hits on 10-13 year old girls and even discussed wanting to sleep with teenage girls on the Howard Stern show or that he liked to walk in on teenage girls changing and bragged about it.

Re:Censorship.
The Daily Mail is the exactly opposite of what you describe. A typical story starts with several paragraphs of reaction and outrage, before right at the end on page 7 mentioning the facts.
Here's a classic example: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea...
Note how even in the byline they manage to sneak a lie in (the straight banana law was debunked when it first surfaced in the 90s). If you can wade through all the ranting you will find a perfectly sensible, rational explanation for the ruling.
That's why the Daily Fail has been banned. It's not a serious source of news, it's a source of outrage and vitriol. Almost entirely fact free, virtually pure opinion (so long as it's the opinion of people who are angry, or who you should be angry about not being angry).
I find the worst part of the mail, at least on their website is all the way down the right side they have other stories, which is nothing in itself but it runs about 3 miles down the page (seriously, way, way, way past the content) and 9/10 are look at what this semi-famous person is wearing.

Long time coming if trueThe Daily Mail is a horrible news source. Veracity and adherence to truth are unimportant factors when they run a story. If the facts don't match the headline / narrative they're pushing they'll be buried right at the bottom of the article to minimize the chance of anyone seeing them.
The Mail's perpetual campaign to declare things that cause or cure cancer (or both) is a long running joke demonstrating a willful disregard for accurate reporting. More seriously their campaigns against immigrants, Europe and other things designed to push buttons in their mitte England readers are simply malign.
And that's assuming there are any facts. e.g. the Mail loves stories about snipers killing evil ISIS members who are about to slaughter innocents.
They just quote unnamed "sources" and that make shit up. Wikipedia already bans citations from certain sources, and it's understandable if that extends to certain "news" sites.

Decades of UK media is better for everyone
Other the years a lot of different UK publications had to face the system of D-notices.
Recall the D-notice affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and how hard UK publications had to work to get news out to the public?
The publication of stories about Real IRA phone intercepts, news like
German spies 'can't be trusted': Relations between the UK and Berlin intelligence chiefs hit after comments by London (16 December 2016)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
All the work the paper did on the UK MP's expenses scandal...
A lot of really good investigative work in the UK and Ireland should be kept. Different UK publications supported some of the best whistleblowers over the decades.
How many more decades of unique investigative reporting will be hidden from people globally?
The UK had something very unique and rare for decades. Reporters and staff who could interview people and then had some freedom to publish. Why ban that ability to look back over decades of quality investigative work?
A political leader was interviewed, public or private papers sorted, the wider public was informed and educated. More information over decades is always better.
Not every UK publication had the same funding or staffing levels and could cover every story as in depth or had staff around the UK.
What has changed about giving users links with quotes and comments from real people over decades...
What other UK media will now be banned next? -
Here is Reason
Story that most likely caused the ban. A top NOAA climate scientist, Dr. Bates, whistleblew how NOAA falsifed the data before the Paris accord in order to "alarm" governments to agree to it.
Yep, a whistleblower, giving out evidence of wrong doing and a news outlet prints it and suddenly becomes "unreliable".
Funny how the truth can no longer be printed but CNN can print all the fake news they want and everyone defends them.

Re:The classified rules dating from 2013
Think back to "Superspy in the sky could soon be patrolling over British cities to search for hidden terror cells"(April 2010)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
"The aircraft are able to identify suspects using 'voice-prints' "
e.g. telephone traffic today can be matched to any voice on a TV interview many years ago.
Quality is never an issue, just that the voice was captured and is in use again.
The raw collection cost is low given well understood cell phone encryption.
Speech Recognition is NSA’s Best-Kept Open Secret (May 11 2015)
https://theintercept.com/2015/...
The spoken words get transcribed, any interesting terms found. A voice print is kept to find the same person again on any voice network globally and all their connected friends of friends (3 hops).
The only change is the new low cost contractor/private sector support. A city or state (with federal funding) can now add that voice print collection to their cell tower collection systems.
The real key is getting the voice print of the person the journalist talked to. Live mic from the journalist own phone or their contact had a phone on them they used later. -
Re:How many terrorists did Trump create last week?
The conclusion of the article sums it up nicely:
All those desperate to get into the country, to get back to work or to their brothers or sisters in America originally from Iran, their daughter who has dual US-Yemeni nationality, or their American-Somali mother based in California — they now have 90 days to reflect.
To think about how lucky they are to have a home in the land of the free. How fortunate they are to live in a country where democracy works and laws are made by the will of the people, not religion.
Trump said, 'We only want to admit those who will support our country and love deeply our people.'
Think of it less as a Muslim ban, and more as an American invitation. If you support America and will put America first, you will be welcome.
If you cannot bring yourself to condemn the actions of those who commit terror in the name of your god, probably best stay in what's left of your home.-----
Also from the article:
The typical response in Western Europe is a hashtag, a tea light and a leader, saying their people will not be cowed in the face of terror.
Except, they no longer speak for us. We are sick of their platitudes.
The response from the US president is far more reassuring: a ban on travellers from seven Muslim countries and a total ban on refugees and asylum seekers from Syria. Finally, a politician taking action.

Re:What Clinton did
She took bribes from Russia for selling them US uranium.
False
I trust you're calling bullshit when Democrats talk about Trump's business ties to Russia then, yes?
Is someone said they knew for certain he had ties to Russia I'd call BS.
But probable ties? Probably. And he could easily disprove business ties by releasing his taxes.
She failed to follow government guidelines for record retention.
True, but very common.
Very much horseshit, to be technical. She is the only SoS to use a private email server exclusively. And starting a mere two years after she publicly blasted the Bush Administration for their private servers.
Yeah, she was hypocritical on that count. Also not unprecedented in a politician.
She also deleted tens of thousands of emails with the same authorization she had in setting up her server (none) which would have had her serving a few decades in prison for obstruction of justice, if her name was Hillary Smith.
Actually she's in the clear there. The law explicitly gives the official the right to identify official correspondence in their personal records, deliver it for retention, and then delete the rest. It was the responsibility of the law firm to properly sort the emails.
That only refers to information you know you have, she didn't realized classified info was on the server.
Pure sophistry. Hillary knew full well that the information she was dealing in was born classified. Think about it for two seconds: if the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan sends an email about the state of nuclear tensions between that country and India, does it have to be marked classified before it is treated as such?
So do you want to imprison the ambassador then?
Other people have been sent to prison for far less - just ask the Navy man serving time for taking a few selfies on an unsecured, unauthorized cell phone.
You mean the guy who was sneaking around the sub in off-hours to take photos of things he knew were classified, possibly to sell to a foreign government?
What about the guy who sent classified information with foreign governments without authorization? I don't think he got punished... in fact I think he just got a new job.

Hillary Clinton did not use Anthony Weiner's laptop, her aid Huma Abedin did, likely with her official State Dept email address.
Her agency, her responsibility. Ask any military base commander that's been sacked after some grunt screws something up with security or nuclear weapons.
The reason why the GOP focused so much on the private email server is because it was a legit Clinton scandal, one they didn't have to invent

Re:Saving the world with a Tax.
The problems with taxes are: First, governments become addicted to them as a revenue source. Second, businesses (particularly utilities) just pass the tax on to their customers. Plus, they make a profit on this pass-through as well. Third, the tax exempt businesses just end up being less efficient. And when they finally drive their non-tax exempt out of business and their tax advantage disappears, often they go out of business as well.
By far, the worst thing about taxes is the government addiction to them. You don't want to drive an electric or hybrid car in the 'progressive' states that first encouraged them. Because now, they are falling over themselves trying to squeeze a 'fair share' of revenue out of cars not paying at the pump. Taxes: GibsMeDat on a government level.

Re:Agree with IMDb
You can see the actors' point to a certain extent. For example, there was a 25 year old actress here in the UK who lied about her age, and managed to land a part playing a 14 year old girl in a popular soap here in the uk (here's the story). Now if she managed to get though the auditions, and convince the producers that she looked young enough for the part, then why should it matter how old she actually was? Now in this case, the counter argument is that because it's a long-running soap, and the part may last many years, she probably wouldn't be able to credibly play the part after a few years, but if it was a movie, short series or commercial, that wouldn't fly.

What you're really saying is that you're getting worn out being the only guy willing to prop up fake news and conspiracy theories. That's really not a loss to most of us if you stop that though you know?

If it upsets you that the site isn't what it used to be then all you have to do is stop being one of the key causes of that.
We really really don't want you to keep defending fake news and the fact you call this widespread issue a conspiracy theory is astounding. What, you really think all those Moldovan and Macedonian kids who admitted they make a fortune peddling it are CGI or paid to say that or something?

If you don't have time to keep trying to debunk the truth then you may want to consider that that's because the truth can't be debunked. You're fighting a battle you can't win, because you're fighting a battle against reality purely because you can't accept that you spent the last 6 months of your life riding Slashdot's ass to defend countless fake news stories and peddle them as fact.

Re:Great news!
"I am so glad we're more concerned with some DNC emails that showed office staff being office staff, "
Yeah... that's all it was. No attempts to try and get Trump to be the nominee because the DNC didn't feel Clinton beat many of the others... no attempts to sabotage Sanders campaign in various ways. Nobody from CNN provided debate questions to Clinton... Just office staff being office staff.

or did you not realize that the evidence would itself reveal who those assets are?"Except Wikileaks -- who LEADED the emails says they didn't get those from the Russians.
