Chrome 55 Now Blocks Flash, Uses HTML5 By Default (bleepingcomputer.com)
An anonymous reader quotes Bleeping Computer: Chrome 55, released earlier this week, now blocks all Adobe Flash content by default, according to a plan set in motion by Google engineers earlier this year... While some of the initial implementation details of the "HTML5 By Default" plan changed since then, Flash has been phased out in favor of HTML5 as the primary technology for playing multimedia content in Chrome.
Google's plan is to turn off Flash and use HTML5 for all sites. Where HTML5 isn't supported, Chrome will prompt users and ask them if they want to run Flash to view multimedia content. The user's option would be remembered for subsequent visits, but there's also an option in the browser's settings section, under Settings > Content Settings > Flash > Manage Exceptions, where users can add the websites they want to allow Flash to run by default.
Exceptions will also be made automatically for your more frequently-visited sites -- which, for many users, will include YouTube. And Chrome will continue to ship with Flash -- as well as an option to re-enable Flash on all sites.

Not yet. Trump will very likely be inaugurated (he's got the best protection and the best life insurance in the world), and for Clinton, I'm sure she is ready to run for president a third time in 4 years.
Hillary! lost the Democrat nomination in 2008 despite having the entire process rigged for her.
Hillary! almost lost the Democrat nomination - to someone who wasn't a member of the Democratic Party! - despite having the entire process rigged in her favor.
THEN Hillary! lost the general election to a blowhard clownish demagogue despite having the entire media world covering up her negatives and all but openly pulling for her.
I'm sure if Hillary! wants to keep running, the Republicans will be happy.
I voted for Hillary. I think she is a good woman who has done a lot of good things and would have done a good job, but I think, barring a sudden break out of patriotism and common sense from the electors, her time has passed. She should be thanked and praised for her hard work. She may even be able to mentor the first woman president. In fact the most important thing she could do is somehow get some people together and help develop future candidates not just for president, but for every elected office. That is where I hope her support goes.
So many things went right for Trump. The free press, the pass on lie after lie after lie after lie. All he had to do to stop people talking about his last career ending event was to lie again, and then people focused on that, then there is of course all the Russian help he got, which was disgusting on so many levels. He is scum, and can never be forgiven for how he won.
I acknowledge, that barring a miracle he will technically be my president, the same way I imagine the victims of a crime feel about the perpetrators. That does not mean I will ever support him in any way. I don't care if he does a 180 and is suddenly a perfect president. Perhaps it isn't very christian of me, but I cannot forgive, nor will I forget. For that matter, I'm fairly sure any true christian would first expect true repentance. If he had a moral bone in his body he would beg for forgiveness for the way he won and beg the electors to fix this horrible mistake, but we know he will not. We further know that most politicians have no moral backbone and will simply note how Don did it and consider using it next time. That was his true crime.
He has thrust a spear in the heart of our democracy. Whether we bleed to death or heal will be determined in time, but I will always blame him. When truth no longer matters, then democracy as a functioning institution is dead.

Not quite. She favored the states that voted in primaries while Obama favored the states that voted in caucuses. By the time someone crunched the numbers in the Hillary campaign, Obama had enough delegates to lock up the nomination. It was Hillary who nominated Obama by acclamation from the convention floor. Something that no Republican would have done for Trump.

Not quite. Super delegates has been a standard feature for Democratic conventions since 1969. After Super Tuesday, Bernie Sanders had to win every primary election with 60% of the vote in order to win the nomination and he failed to get the votes. If super delegates were removed from the equations, Bernie still wouldn't have enough delegates to lock up the nomination.
THEN Hillary! lost the general election to a blowhard clownish demagogue despite having the entire media world covering up her negatives and all but openly pulling for her.
Not quite. The media gave Trump $2B in free advertising while focusing on and sometimes making up stuff about Hillary's email server.
I'm sure if Hillary! wants to keep running, the Republicans will be happy.
The Clintons have been good business for Republican fundraisers over the last 30 years. They will sorely be missed for years to come.
