It's as anachronistic and wounding to national pride as it would be for Americans having to tolerate a foreign military base on Manhattan island.
It's worth pointing out that the US gave all the rest of Cuba back to Cuba. The Spanish gave it to the US, and the US granted them freedom. Heck, the whole Spanish American war was caused by the US coming in on the pro-Independence side of Cuba in their revolution.
That the US voluntarily wanted to grant Cuba their Independence kept it form becoming a territory like PR or Guam.
When you order 87 toilet seats that conform to the inside of a B2, you have to pay for all the tooling required to make the toilet. Which is usually amortized over hundreds of thousands of units.
If Obama was playing just for the election he'd nominate a liberal minority for the Republicans to reject (or ignore)
He's trying to be reasonable, anticipating a rejection by Congress. To make the Senate look stupid, in the hopes that it switches the Senate to a Democratic one come November.
If it was a small town, even if it wasn't the same cashier, their might be enough gossip to connect the two and then they would know before pretty much anyone else.
Small towns suck. Especially for non-conformists. Talk to a religious/racial minority from a small town. Talk to a gay person. Talk to a Democrat in a town of Republicans (or vice versa).
Why is it here? Because the makeup of the court will have direct effect on us Nerds. Apple's case is likely to go to the Supreme Court. As some of the many cases dealing with IP, software and hardware patents and many more areas of interest to the Tech world.
And where's the information (in the summary/articles) of his past opinions on privacy, IP, and other areas mentioned.
A lot of the GOP heads see Drumpf as too liberal. I expect he'll pick someone out of deep-deep-deep-deep-deeper-than-deep right field.
I mean, he'll pick someone with more conservative economic and healthcare policies to appease the base, but more moderate immigrant/Islam rhetoric to de-frighten the normals. And someone with political experience as well to balance the "need to manipulate Congress" part. I'm thinking a sane Republican governor with a track records of conservatism. I'd guess Walker or Kasich.
I doubt the "come to Jesus" ship sailed. He didn't want to come to Jesus earlier, because he needed ot be the outsider to win the nomination. Once that's locked up (is that now?), he comes to Jesus for the general.
As opposed to any other republican?
I think Trump has proven that he, more than any other Republican, can look straight at the camera and slam an opponent with a smear that works. He's really gifted at that.
The main selling point from the Clinton camp seems to be that Sanders' message is too "pie in the sky" to be something that can actually be done.
Which is so stupid. Of course, he's going to fail hard on a lot of his goals. But so is Hillary. Aim at the stars and fall on the moon and all that.
It's not that it didn't play well with established standards, it's that it completely ignored them, and instead did things which were not implementable on other platforms
That's kinda what I said by "didn't play well with.."
Saying IE6 wasn't horrible is essentially saying that you were not involved in web development in the '00s
I remember the late 90's, when if it worked in IE6, it shipped. And if it worked in any other browser, neat, but who cares.
That's kinda my point. If you only developed for IE, it wasn't so horrible.
[Cruz[] polls much better against democrats than any other candidate they've had on stage this time through.
Yeah, but no one's attacked him from the left yet. It's crazy to look at current polling of the matchups without factoring in the general. (Although Donald and Hillary, as frontrunners, have far less uncertainty there). We know Donald is Teflon.
Drumpf has hit the ceiling in his own party, at ~40% approval. It is highly likely that a large number of GOP'ers will stay home in the 2016 election if he gets the nomination as they can't stand him.
Well, a lot of establishment Republicans have promised to support him. And a lot will vote against Hillary. I'd expect a moderating VP pick, and a turn towards civility that will convince the establishment he'll be sane. He has months to convince them he came to Jesus. Look at his debate performance.
I'm not advocating for either Cruz or Trump, but if I put money down on how each of the matchups would go, I take Trump over Hillary over Cruz.
Trump will keep going Benghazi, Emails, etc. over and over again, while damping down his own craziness, and the Republicans will come out in force.
Meanwhile, he'll start trying to sound sane so that Democrats think he was putting on a show to get the nomination, and no one really wants Hillary, so they won't care a ton.
But yeah, if Sanders gets the nomination, then it won't matter who the Republicans put up, he wins. It's kinda shocking that Hillary is still the frontrunner at this point.
I cannot go deep into details, but this is definitely something that the military tried 7-10 years ago. The tech was immature then, but I'm sure they've repeated it regularly as tech improved.
The military has a strategic reserve to bide them over til the North Atlantic fields come online. And we can start developing them as a crisis develops.
It'll take a lot less time than ANWR to get up and running. ANWR has freezing temperatures reducing the worktime to 1/5 of the year and limited human access during that time. Plus new pipelines and such.
(1) They may have underwater things out there, or worry they provide cover to enemy subs
(2) Because if it's dug up now, it gets used up. If it's underwater, we can start digging it up when the giant war starts. Because, who cares where the oil is dug up (militarily) during peace? We can get it from trade. But during war, that's when we need it.
Right, now we have an open standard byte code that any language can target, and any browser can implement, along with several competing implementations, and lots of eyes looking at the security of those implementation
Flash was an open standard byte code (well documented too) with at least once complete F/OSS implementation.
The difference is now ads in JS can bypass the easy "do not play Flash except from whitelist" method of killing nasty ads.
several competing implementations
For the love of holy things, why would I want multiple competing, incompatible, implementations of a programming runtime environment?
why not let them? If they raise their prices, people can switch to another app.
Because that's not going to happen. It's called network effects, and it prevents competitors from rising up.
It's the same reason Microsoft had no competitors in the consumer space until smartphones. All devs wrote for Windows because all customers were there, and all customers were there because all devs wrote for Windows.
Similarly, who would drive for [NotUber], all the customers use Uber. And who would use [NotUber], it has way longer waiting times.
Well, the law on private e-mail servers was changed after Powell and Rice. It was also changed after Clinton. If Kerry or future Sec.States did it, it would be illegal. Under Clinton/Powell/Rice, it was legal.

Yeah, my favorite is the 24-hour hackathon (with free pizza) being a "benefit".
Query: penultimate?
He's been talking about running since 1988. He wants the publicity of being the president. The work/policy making, probably not so much.
He's trying to be reasonable, anticipating a rejection by Congress. To make the Senate look stupid, in the hopes that it switches the Senate to a Democratic one come November.
We're just merging telecos, limiting total competition. <sarcasm> And nothing of value was lost </sarcasm>

The Democrats can easily take down Cruz. Donald Trump is likely to beat Hillary.

Flash had at least three implementations: Flash, Gnash and a Mozilla one. I believe Google also implemented a Flash runtime for embedded Chrome.
It's a fucking platform. Why shouldn't it get stale? You say stale; I hear "stable"
Runtimes != Browser. See, Chrome, Chromium, Opera and others.
Also, IE6 was bad because it didn't play well with established standards, and was greedy of MS, but it wasn't actually horrible.
Flash was an open standard byte code (well documented too) with at least once complete F/OSS implementation.
The difference is now ads in JS can bypass the easy "do not play Flash except from whitelist" method of killing nasty ads.

Like you?
What part of F=ma and d=0.5*a*t^2 is hard to understand?
1, large cost to switch the install base. There is a very large cost to switching large groups of people at the same time.
2, Uber will not let a single app control both Uber and not-Uber
I hope that's clear, I'm in a hurry. Can expand later if it's not.
Mass is inertia. To pull a car a reasonable distance in a reasonable time, you need to be able to exert real force.

And people use MS cause that's where all the software is, and write software for MS because that's where all the customers are*.
Google "Network Effects"
*This is no longer true due to smartphones, but it certainly was in the 90's
