No, he advocated for an immigration registry to help with the immigration vetting process. The "Muslim Registry" was part of that fake news that people seem to think helped Trump win the election.

I must call you out on this: it is not "fake news". It is actual news based on something he said. The transcript is here. It's clear that to a degree he is being led on by the reporter and, as is often the case, isn't really thinking about the answers he's giving. He provides vague replies about "management" being the solution and appears distracted. Nonetheless, what's most striking is that he doesn't attach much significance to the concept of a Muslim database. It seems like a totally reasonable idea to him. If I was a Muslim in the US, this is what would worry me. My worry would be compounded by his reaction to the questions in the second half of this video. He's asked about the racial discrimination which a database might bring about and repeatedly avoids the question. He has an opportunity to clarify his views and reassure, but he doesn't take it. It is worrying when someone reacts in the way that he does and none of this information is in any way "fake".

MSNBC "Racism!" drinking game.

Sorry pal, but you just dont remember it because you werent the target of constantly being called racist for 8 years.

That you believe what Donald Trump says over the corrections his staff makes over the following weeks shows that you are susceptible to fake news.

Nobody believes what Donald Trump says. Not even Donald. You have to listen to what Rudy Giuliani and Ted Nugent say to understand the subtle nuances of his beautiful mind.

Your government IT job must be the most pointless repetitive moronic idiocy imaginable since you fucking love repetition so much.

I don't think you understand how IT works in the real world. Shit rolls down hill from up on high. My job is to deal with it, bury it or roll it downhill. Sometimes I'm turning over the same shit for months at a time. Being a virtual ditch digger is no fun but it pays well.

I'm not the AC above who first claimed they were employees... also I'd thought things like me saying "something something... communism?", my incredibly wrong interpretation of the already nonsense "pizzagate" allegations, my assertion that pizza and jewellery rings were liberal conspiracies, and my hypothesis that these brainwashed children would somehow be able to retroactively abort their grandparents to change the outcome of World War 2 would've been a slight hint I was joking :) If you actually believed I thought that though I'll think no less of you, as it's becoming depressingly easy to unintentionally Poe even smart people on the internet lately. And I do apologise if my sense of humour wasn't to your taste, I'm British and grew up with the magnificent Chris Morris shaping what I found funny :D

Why does the title and article call it a "self-driving" beer tap rather than simply "automated"?

I agree with you! However, C/C++ isn't 'sexy' and isn't a buzzword thrown around to attract more students. Learning C/C++ is hard as a first language, though it makes for better programmers.

There is no language called "C/C++"! There is a language called C, and there is another called C++. They share some syntax (but not all), and one is occasionally (and incorrectly) considered to be a subset of the other. Not only is it not a subset, it isn't even a true that "a large majority of C programs also compile as C++ programs". They are very different languages, and using them proficiently requires a completely different mindset from the programmer.

This lady explains how C++ should be taught, and it is not as a superset of C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You know when a non techie talk about the Internet as a series of tubes? This is one of those times but about psychiatric meds.

First off, of course it's wrong if you take meds so you can handle the stress of two full time jobs or assume you can just take a couple of pills and your depression will be gone.

But for most people out there with a psychiatric condition meds and therapy (and some more therapy) is a life saver. The meds will remove some of the symptoms so you can live an almost normal life while therapy helps with the cause for them. A depression is nothing like feeling a bit under the weather, a panic disorder does not go away with a gluten free diet, and grave OCD is as easy to just hold in as Ipecac

You miss my point that the US could have a strong leader without descending into fascism. The only problem is that there is going to be resistance to a fair economic arrangement with the 99% because of vested interests. Fix campaign funding and you'll have a chance. Otherwise, all your leaders will be weak, finding excuses to justify not rocking the economic boat.

Until you fix campaign financing you will continue to have an oligarchy, as Jimmy Carter admits, same as Russia.

They made a reasonable decision: Bernie looked unelectable.

According to the kind of partisans who spent over a billion dollars only to lose to a baboon. A baboon who boasted about grabbing women by the pussy a month before the election.

The American people loathe socialism in all it's forms

1) He's not a socialist. The world has a definition, and Bernie doesn't come close to matching it.

2) Americans would love the shit out of Socialism if they got to try it for five minutes. Getting to keep the output of their work rather than sending almost all of it to the leisure class? That's why capitalist scumfucks and their stooges in both parties work so hard to propagandize people.

If Bernie had won the nomination, it's all but certain he'd have lost too.

Baring a 'dead girl or a live boy', Bernie would have beat Trump like a rented mule. That's not opinion, that's fact. Bernie had none of Hillary or Trump's baggage, corruption, or unforced errors. Bernie actually fucking talks to voters and manages to get Trump voters agreeing with him in a matter of minutes.

Sure, the Republicans and the biased conservative media would have pulled out the fainting couches over the Socialist label. Except:

1) They do that to every Democratic nominee, regardless. They did it to Hillary's husband back in '92, demanding to know why he visited the USSR twenty years earlier.

2) People are eligible to run for Congress now that were born after The Wall fell in Berlin. The red scare shit just doesn't work anymore. Because....

3) Those who wet their beds at the sign of a hammer and sickle would never have voted for a Democrat, regardless.

But it's not like Trump didn't say more and much worse things.

Irrelevant. Trumps idiocy does not excuse Hillary's. Otherwise you gotta let Trump play tit for tat as well - you want him to start with Superpredators or being terrified of black men wearing hoodies?

While I do agree with you in general, it's worth noting that the rapid withdrawal of troops from Iraq only happened after the Iraqi government was "forced" to threaten sending the US soldiers to international courts for their war crimes.
Obama did promise to remove the troops, but as many other promises, he did nothing. There was one bilateral agreement to keep American war criminals outside of international courts (or he was cooking up one, can't remember). After Wikileaks published the Iraq war logs with all those torture reports the bilateral agreement fell apart (or was threatened) and he did the withdrawal.
But IMO, the constant arming and training of "moderate" rebels to make assassination campaigns and the support to other countries that were financing ISIS was more relevant to their growth than leaving Iraq, I think so because of the "famous" 2012 DIA report.

Here's the story of how the maneuver was developed.

More seriously, ecological and evolutionary theory (including island biography) shows how the size of a habitat and how habitats are connected affects the distribution and genetics of organisms in habitats, so habitat fragmentation has consequences.

However, the predicted cringe wave

Do you mean crime wave? Because there's been plenty of that. They're filling up the prisons. Also, maybe you think a massive, public, sexual assault on women on New Year's Eve is normal and unrelated to immigration.

total Islamification of Germany/Europe has completely failed to emerge

It wasn't predicted to happen overnight, but saying "completely failed to emerge" is bullshit. It's already starting to happen in the spots they congregate to. They aren't integrating. Even Merkel knew that in 2010 before she opened up the floodgates.

If anyone should examine a topo map of North America and give a reasonable estimate as to which major land contours, lake systems and other land features were either caused (or prevented) by the specific actions of BEAVERS, the rodents would be singled out in an IPCC report as a major cause of 'climate change', exposed by CNN, trash-talked on The View, sold bogus 'log pullers', and hunted down near extinction. We could begin by interesting Europeans in beaver pelt clothing...

Mark Dice? He has a Youtube channel with regular debunkings of the MSM. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

About ten years ago, Jimmy Wales said about Wikipedia (time code 4:35):

“So, we’re doing around 1.4 billion page views monthly. So, it’s really gotten to be a huge thing. And everything is managed by the volunteers and the total monthly cost for our bandwidth is about 5,000 dollars, and that’s essentially our main cost. We could actually do without the employee ... We actually hired Brion [Vibber] because he was working part-time for two years and full-time at Wikipedia so we actually hired him so he could get a life and go to the movies sometimes.”

In 2008, when Wikipedia was already the world's number 8 website, the Wikimedia Foundation survived on $5 million (vs. $82 million last year). So, yes, you can have a top-ten website – written entirely by unpaid volunteers – for a fraction of the current cost.

We're going to war!

Yes, it all depends how the information is presented. It's like you're slowly stumbling onto the idea of what fake news is. If an article says "some dipshit crackpot said Obama is a Kenyan Muslim" then do you think that is attempting to persuade the reader that Obama is indeed a Kenyan Muslim? Perhaps you'd say "no" because clearly it's treating the source as suspect.

How about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (title: "Obama Admits He Is A Muslim")

Now suddenly it's not being presented skeptically but as fact. And what is their source? Obama himself! Why look here, they have Obama on video saying the words "my Muslim faith"! Proof! If I overlook the lack of context, and the possibility of some jump cut editing, which I might more than happily do if I believe it anyway... then it's clear that Obama himself admitted he's a Muslim! I better share this story on Facebook!

I don't know why this is hard to grasp for some people. It is incontrovertible fact (it's on video) that Obama said the words "my Muslim faith" in some interview. That is fact. Truth. News. Real News. Not fake at all.

What makes it "fake news" is the implication that him saying that means he's a Muslim.

So back to this article... did Russia "hack the election?" Almost certainly not. Did they hack something? Possibly. Somebody hacked the DNC, somebody hacked Podesta's gmail account. Maybe it was Russia. Maybe the CIA has real evidence of it that they don't want to share, but that Obama has seen. Maybe Obama would be 100% justified saying "Russia hacked the DNC." That still does not let him say "Russia hacked the election." That is complete bullshit until very strong proof is presented that actual votes were changed from Clinton to someone else in order to facilitate Trump's victory.

So "Russia hacked the election" is fake news, even though there may be a kernel of truth just like most fake news.

nom nom nom nom. trollololol. Feed me Seymour. Although, that plant could be a great troll mascot.

The Senate not confirming an appointment isn't destroying a fundamental part of our system of government. It is one of the checks and balances and there is no specific reason to have 9 judges and there has been varying number of judges on the court at various times. Obama nominated and the Senate gave advice "no one from you" and refused consent. Both branches have to agree to get a new judge and if one refuses consent all that means is that we have 1 less judge on the court until they can agree. It's only an issue for a 4-4 vote split which just means that the lower courts ruling stands.

I was using Romney Obama etc as examples of wolf crying that has partly led to Trump. It wasn't something I was specifically pinning on you except for wolf crying and I probably botched conveying that. Trump is a reaction, a bad one at that, to the failure of media (that cried those wolves the most) and the left (that created those wolves).

Those vigilantes are a minority and on both sides. Just like people beating up Trump supporters for voting Trump. When something actually happens that is dangerous I will be right there to fight it to defend those checks and balances but your first comment was really over the top.

He accesses memory of a running system kernel using a variation of the pcileech and then uses Volatility to examine the dump. I guess the key is that "the FileVault password is stored in clear text in memory and that it's not automatically scrubbed from memory once the disk is unlocked." No need to do anything prior to OS load, except set a boot flag, and he's leveraging an earlier device called Slotscreamer. Still impressive, especially pulling /etc/shadow and pushing it back onto an encrypted drive via DMA at the end of his talk.

So, something like the FBI is doing now?

In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the e-mails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

I bet someone is going to blame him for quietly informing Congress of his actions right before the election, but remember this is the same guy who refused to recommend prosecution of Hillary even after this hearing. Feel free to watch the full hearing if you prefer.

If YOU want to continue the discussion, I'd like you to admit that, according to every study that has ever been done on the subject, voter fraud is a statistically insignificant issue.

Yea, it's insignificant in virtually all instances. I can't go quite as far as your complete dismissal of it. In very tight elections, it can make a difference. The Daly's Chicago vote in the Nixon/Kennedy election comes to mind - that one is still debated to this day. As well as the election of Al Franken, which was such a crazy comedy of errors, lost ballots found days later in election officer's trunks, etc. there is no way to know what happened. I don't think there was a significant fraud in that one, either, but just a small amount could have easily changed the result.

The point is there is really no effort going on, especially in places like Los Angeles County, to ensure non-citizens are not voting. Lots of people seem to be perfectly fine with non-citizens actually casting votes in our elections, while beating war drums because Russia may have been behind the revelations of truth in the workings of the DNC. The Obama administration even stopped efforts to identify non-citizens on voter rolls and remove them, in several states.

I came across some interesting clips recently. First up, this was on CNN. I really wanted to find out what this "highly edited" clip was. I couldn't find anything on Fox Business, but I'm pretty sure the clip referred to was this interview that actually aired on CNN as well. I can certainly see how some people could have interpreted this as Obama saying that it was okay for undocumented immigrants to vote. This is the clip. It's not edited at all.

Finally is an interview with former FEC Election Commissioner Hans Von Spakovsky. The study he refers to is from Harvard, but its interpretation has been widely criticized. Some of those criticisms are valid, but claiming that non-citizens self-reporting that they voted in a recent election is higher than those that actually did fails the sniff test. Interested in your thoughts on this.

I think this is a pretty good conversation about this topic. Both are articulate, a liberal and conservative that are not screaming at each other and giving each other an opportunity to express thier opinion on the subject.

Well, apparently telling the truth is interfering with US elections, oh my (someone wasn't thinking when they put out this release). So Putin directly involved in the hacks, hmm, hunched over a keyboard typing away, expert computer hacker, on top of everything else. What is the White House trying to do promote Putin as the worlds greatest head of state in the world, the bare chested, bear riding computer hacker.

The Russian government is only able to run rings around the US government because the US government is a chaotic mess with individual multi-national corporations able to pull it in different, often competing and contradictory directions at the same time (as well other countries who not only interfere but have direct contradictory controls over the US government, two prime examples Israel and Saudi Arabia both of who should be actively kicked out from involvement in US elections, who can forget the Israeli government issuing instructions to the US government in public https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and not one squeak about it except http://rare.us/story/rand-paul..., seriously what the fuck is the matter with Americans putting up with that shit, seriously). At lot of the good efforts done by the US government are undone by the US government, so much so, that the Russian government just has to sit back and watch the chaos unfold on it's own, as it picks up the pieces.

Fucking hell, whine about Russia when Israel and Saudi Arabia have been fucking over American elections for decades, what the fuck is wrong with Americans.

Could be fake news

But then again this is information being fed to us by the CIA/NSA etc which has been planting friendly operatives as the head of state for many countries for the past 70 years now

That is not new.

Besides, does it really matter that Micheal Howard was pretending to tell the truth? What difference does it make to the individual that Micheal Howard was pretending to tell the truth or whether some website said Trump won the popular vote?

The onus is still on the individual to sift through the information and find truth. No matter how you dress it up, what words you use to describe it, or the immediate effect it has on society; the individual has to discern for themselves truth in a sea of information, facts, lies, and misinformation. That has always been around and will always be the case. Someone is always trying to convince you of something whether you (or I) buy bullshit is on you (or I).

How do you know a politician is lying? Their lips are moving. This didn't become some joke of a truism because of recent examples. It has always been this way and always will be.
