@realDonaldTrump IS NOT a public forum. Is the personal Twitter account of Mr. Donald J. Trump.

Trump himself has tweeted

My use of social media is not Presidential - it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!

making it pretty clear that he intends to use it for official purposes.

It's one thing for a public figure to block comments on his personal account. But it's another entirely to block people from viewing otherwise public posts from account when he is also making policy statements.

Not being a twitter user, how do you block some people from seeing your tweets?

Without an account, I can go to https://twitter.com/realdonald... and read the tweets.

So how do you selectively block some people from seeing your tweets, when people without accounts can easily see them?

Certainly Trump appears to believe that all of his actions fall under the protection of the office, not just his official duties. So when he is at his golf resorts on most weekends, and leaks classified information, he is not prosecuted as Donald J Trump, businessmen, but protected as POTUS.

Likewise he uses his personal Twitter account to make statements as POTUS, and bragged that it is the way he communicates with the people. For instance he uses the feed to release official information, calling himself president, not just DJT who is occasionally the president.

It is one thing for Trump to never hold a town hall. We cannot fault him for being a coward and hide behind campaign rallies where he can control who attends. However, if he is going to be POTUS, and going to make use his personal twitter account to make official US announcements and policy, which is has, then he has to follow the rules just like anyone else.

We are not a fascist country, and the POTUS is not a dictator who can do anything he wants.

Tim Sweeney (of Epic Games) stated (before the price reduction) Vive is outselling Rift 2:1. Since UE4 is used in many VR games he would have access various data like royalty figures to make a pretty educated guess.

Valve's hardware survey results also reflect similar trend.

There are independent firms also tracking sales that seem to agree with these figures. Palmer disputes them he doesn't really give any specific evidence.

so i publish the home address, readily available for all the CNN journalists and tell people i'm not responsible for anything that happens to them. there'd be nothing wrong there either? and if they get death threats, no problems?

we make a distinction between private citizens and public figures for a reason, and that andrew character has made a career of abusing the privacy of private citizens as a "journalist." lest you forget,

As a Trump supporter, do you still consider Russian hacking to be fake news when President Trump tweeted the following?

The real story is that President Obama did NOTHING after being informed in August about Russian meddling. With 4 months looking at Russia...
https://twitter.com/realDonald...

After all, you can't have it both ways. You can't say that something doesn't exist and then turn around and blame Obama for doing nothing about that non-existing thing.

What do you think is Trump's excuse now? That meddling doesn't equal hacking? That meddling doesn't mean that Russian intelligence tried to influence Trump's campaign and Trump's team? That the fact that they tried to meddle doesn't mean that they succeeded? Or that the fact that Russia tried to meddle doesn't mean that there should be a US investigation on the matter, nor does it mean that there should be an investigation of Trump's team?

Here's the working link to see some real-world ARKit examples that people have been working on.

Check out this twitter feed for some impressive ARKit examples.

:-) Let's not go there. You don't want to go and upset the base...

Well, CNN never actually doxxed the guy.

No, that would have been better...

They THREATENED to do it, which is a felony... blackmail or extortion is a really serious crime...

Are you sure that's a standard you want to live by?

Show us your dick selfies. We want to see your cock as thick as your neck.

Don't count on it. I sent out last batch of takedown notices yesterday. I even tweeted about it.

CNN coerced him to apologize by threatening to dox him, and now is claiming that he called them to apologize first. Check the timestamps and archive links here.

Which has caused a whole big pile of new anti-CNN memes. My favorites are the ISIS apology video ones. example here. And another. Also, this guy showed up. Even the theater in the park got involved.

Looks like pretty much everyone is now piling on. Here is Julian Assange, Donald Trump Jr., the Washington Times.

It is pretty much the only topic now on The_Donald and has numerous threads on /pol/ (warning, NSFL). Front and center on Breitbart News and Drudge.

Oh, and the guy's identity is pretty much out there already, making their threat moot.

"When Microsoft places ads in the form of recommended apps in Windows 10, it's denounced as evil. When Ubuntu places ads in the MOTD, it's somehow okay and completely acceptable."

No it isn't, as this response so clearly demonstrated. Go and take your strawman elsewhere and it is understandable why you would want to post anonymously.

Placing ads in the MOTD now? Really?

Not relevant if you think he was denied some reason other than Trump's travel ban, but if Trump was the cause, Stein's involvement is documented. She was actively recruited by Flynn and Russians. Check the lovely photo

It's also worth noting that according to other sources Kaspersky is lowballing the percentage of victims that are in Ukraine.

Google is your monopolistic friend:
https://twitter.com/microcente...

They're having a corporate network outage, it seems. Their phones are down too.

Interesting... ESET has a very different distribution analysis than Kaspersky, and they show almost exclusively Ukrainian targets, with Russia moved way down the list.

Because Ukraine is getting hit by far the hardest? Because they've been the subject of a long string of crippling cyberattacks since the Donbas conflict broke out, including highly sophisticated attacks that took down public utilities - so naturally people assume that this is more along those lines?

That doesn't mean that this is targeted at Ukraine; it could just be coincidence. But those numbers certainly are skewed. That said, if it was from Russia, they didn't do a good job at preventing it from hitting their own systems.

This appears to be a new variant. No confirmation yet as to whether or not the previous decrypter still works.

"According to the Verge article, today's ransomware appears to be a new Petya variant called Petyawrap."

The fast-spreading Petrwrap/Petya ransomware sample we have was compiled on June 18, 2017 according to its PE timestamp.

Yes, it's clearly a "wild stretch of the imagination" when a president campaigns on a promise, and then tries to keep that promise, even though his own vice-president said it was "offensive and unconstitutional".

Because I don't live in the US, so your fucked up healthcare system really isn't my problem. HTH.

Or as Katie McHugh put it, I'll enjoy my "garbage country" where I don't have to beg for handouts in order to survive.

Silicon Valley is the high 90's this week. Power went out yesterday for a few hours, making the afternoon heat unbearable without the fans. Still trying to figure out where to put another fan in the Cougar QBX Mini-ITX case, as the SSD and HDD run ten degrees higher than my fileserver with six HDDs and seven fans. This case is supposed to have enough room for a regular PSU, a dual-slot GPU and a water cooler radiator. I don't have either and there isn't enough room for my fat fingers.

Here's a deep thought from your orange hero. I wonder what he thinks of electoral college victories now?

'disaster for democracy". Pretty funny in hindsight.

Then there's this: https://twitter.com/RandPaul/s...

Luckily for you, creimer, nothing of import will ever arrive in your inbox. So, good looking out. That's not even an active job search.

I still get 20+ emails and phone calls from recruiters every day.

The fact that you're a contractor who makes a habit of checking your personal mail during the work day using your employer's resources speaks volumes about your professionalism, too.

Management was way more upset about not being able to access their personal email.

[...] do you arrive at work, start your script running, and then tuck into Slashdot for 8 hours?

My required work takes one hour. For the remaining seven hours, I'm listening to 30 people on the headset waiting for stuff to roll down hill. I occasionally run PowerShell scripts, update spreadsheets and create tickets for site techs.

My side business takes up another eight hours when I get home. Revamping three book titles for next month's summer/winter sale at Smashwords.

Prove otherwise.

Ok.

There's two. Especially the second one.

The messages are gone, so it's up to you to prove that the administration overstepped the bonds.

You poor, ignorant sod. The messages are not gone -- the users were blocked. The messages remain. The news on this topic even includes copies of many...

Are you going to say that setting cars on fire, as done on the inauguration day, is a protected free speech as well? Or setting a campus on fire, when a speaker for the
conservatives is to give a speech?

Classic whataboutism. Ignored.

The "opponents" have a long and sordid history of violating the rules of civil discussion,

Labeling all members of a perceived group according to the worst anecdote that you can recall. Clear due process violation. Ignored.

so in absence of solid proofs that this instance specifically this was not the case, I'm strongly inclined to believe you're trying to dig up dirt on the administration where there is none.

Proofs provided.

I even repeat my tweets three times, eight hours apart, because this triples the amount of click-throughs. A few people will complain, but if you aren't pissing off some people on social media, you're not using it right.

I can certainly see, how the methods being researched could help the good guys. But to better publicize the project, a much more compelling poster-boy or girl is needed than Ms. Winner — a supporter of Iran, who sincerely believes, American President is the vilest person in the US (if not the world)...

Not so - patch your kernals now!

Impeach him for what.

Gross incompetence

First you have to have a crime.

Oh, you want crimes? He's had enough scams, frauds, and offenses to sink a battleship. His university, his golf courses, his money laundering, all replete with his malfeasances.

Since people like yourself have been crying "Impeach" since ... November, it just comes across as lame hate.

People like yourself have been aghast at any criticism of Trump...since you suddenly fell in love with the Great Orange Turd. It just comes across as forced devotion.

Second, the best thing for Democrats is to leave Trump in office.

Maybe Democrats are more loyal to the country than to seek Partisan advantage by letting the GOP have an incompetent burn them down.

But the Democrats aren't the brightest people in the world, they tried twice to foist Hillary on us, and that has worked out well now ... twice.

Actually, Republicans have been hating on Hillary since the Nineties, and it's worked out...terribly for them. They aren't the brightest people in the world, they fell in love with Trump. Even if you believe he's a stalking horse employed by Hillary, you managed to become his sycophant yourself.

Third, the Democrats hate Pence as much, maybe even worse than Trump.

Oh? You want to impeach him too? That'll be easy enough. He committed felonies while governor of Indiana.

Fouth, Fifth and Sixth, you have no idea how hard it is to actually impeach a president ... on purpose. House has to bring charges(where's the crime?) (Republican, not likely), the Senate has to have a have the trial (Republican, not likely) and convict (Republican, not likely ).

All easy and trivial steps, once Republicans realize they need to bail the stinking ship. Or once the electorate decides they want to be represented again.

So, fanciful thinking on your part. Just suck it up cupcake, you can take your shot in 3.5 years. Perhaps with Pocahontas and Bernie.

Ah, is the little muffin still bitter that he couldn't shut up the Respectable Senator from Massachusetts? You are still freaking out over regulation of hearing aids because you so desperately hate and despise her.

Bet you're going to cry bitter tears when the outsider from DC crashes in Georgia. She was so frenetic over trying to stop Planned Parenthood that she put tens of thousands of women at risk for not getting Breast Cancer screenings. That had to hurt. Almost as much as having a known violent thug in Montana who, if the GOP had any sense, would be rejected.

They'd gain by doing that. A simple vote, toss him out, and start over.

But you won't even see them realize that.

If you're an American pro sports fan, Twitter is the go-to place to hear news first.

Usually it's coming from sports writers; but I still remember Marshawn Lynch announcing his retirement by tweeting a picture of a pair of sneakers hanging by their laces during the Super Bowl...

This is probably her Twitter https://twitter.com/Reezlie under the similar name, Sara Winners. http://www.npr.org/sections/th...

She's 25. That's legally an adult, but contrasted with my own 63, she's a kid. I used the term loosely.

It's a staged "whistleblow". It even had (of has) Snowden fooled. (I don't know if he's realized it yet.)

If you look at her social media posts, it is clear that she was not emotionally stable and while her views were not particularly extreme, she was very passionate and riled up about even small issues. She should have had her security clearance revoked long ago.

Some of that sounds like another Twitter user.
