You mean the idiot who did NOT do the math correctly in the infamous "hockey stick" graph; has another idea.
Any reason to think they now know how to do the math, now?
Tim S.
Any more fake news you wish to share?
If you disagree, please present facts on how the US election was disrupted!
Tim S.
Russia is neither here nor there. They may have influence, they may not. What matters is that some state-level intelligence agency was able to disrupt the American electoral process. That's bad no matter what team you play for. Not only that, but now that it has been successful, do you think that will result in more attempts or fewer? And tell me, exactly how expensive is it to set up a team of hackers?
...and lawyers help created it? Hell must have froze over....or more likely I am missing something. Ok, I generalize, some lawyers may be good persons.
Not that I personally am against it!
Of course Hell froze over; Did you NOT hear the Chicago Cubs won the World Series in baseball!
Tim S.
The State Department and the CIA works together, a lot. So, I agree with that.
The DOD and State Department has a much more adversarial relationship; so, I disagree with that.
Tim S.
Depending on what you mean by "lobbying" it is NOT always a bribe; it many cases it is instead protection money.
Tim S.
In the end, this ruling clearly favored firmly entrenched big brand operators like Time Warner Cable, Comcast, and ATT, which lobbied hard to keep competition at bay.
Can we just call a spade a spade, and treat "lobbying" as a bribe? I'm getting sick of seeing this blatant corruption.
You forgot to include Clinton as unstable and delusional.
She believes that on a landing in the Middle East that her plane took sniper fire.
She believes that a vast right wind conspiracy is working against her and Bill.
Tim S.
Finally a post I can agree with 100 percent. Tim S.
The critical difference for me is that the media is behind Hillary, and will let her get away with anything.
On the other hand, the media hates Trump, and will hold his feet to the fire for *everything*.
I want a president that the media hates, so that they can't just break laws, magically make new ones with executive orders, and engage in wholesale corruption with no consequences.
FYI: Civilization and appeasement are NOT tied together; you can have one without the other. Tim S.
But these companies already own your government - you really think Trump will help? He's already part of the problem, not the solution. The answer is MORE civilization and civilized answers - not destroying civilization because the richest minority refuse to pay for it and allow it to function, even if their present riches would not exist without it - but the right wing in your country thinks civilization is the problem, not humanity's ultimate solution, and so they are the enemy of humankind, are dragging everyone else further over to the right with them, and you expect them to HELP?
I believe this was before Microsoft realized they needed to pay protection money to the US Congress members; the Justice Department might be told to stand down this time.
Tim S.
That's not a great example, seeing as how Microsoft ultimately won that battle.
"Won?" Well, that's debatable. After all the appeals, neither side got exactly what it wanted, but I'll grant you that MS ultimately got the better side of the deal: no split into two companies, but it did release details of their API, and showed more glasnost than they had previously.
The point is that the Department of Justice showed that it had the cojones to go after Microsoft, and that made MS proceed more cautiously thereafter.
Actually, I am afraid we are now MS beta testers.
Does the minimal wage laws apply for beta testers?

if updates weren't forced down our throats, maybe only a small percentage of users would be affected by a bad update before you got your shit together and fixed it....

It because they want the low income people to leave as fast as possible!
j/k; but, it seems more logical than the answers below.
Tim S.
Instead, the tolls are one way: you pay them, if you are a nasty, low income person coming from Emeryville into San Francisco, but not if you are a wonderful, high income person going from San Francisco to Emeryville.
The tolls are one-way because they know that 99.99% of people travel back to where they came from so instead of making people stop twice to pay the toll, it's more convenient for *everyone* to just collect it once.
I will likely use the "security-only" bundle; and try to remove all rarely used Microsoft software other than the Windows 7.
I already removed Java and Adobe; now will have to think about removing MS Office because, I foresee, in time the "security-only" bundle will stop patching office.

Is that like an ATM Machine?
So do the experts know about capacitors? Tim S.
Don't forget Trump's wall. It's always a good investment to turn our biggest trading partner against us.

Of course the announcement would come from them.

"42 inches (one meter) "
And 1 meter used to be 39.37 inches
I thought it was 39.36 inches; but, its 39.37007874 inch. I also thought it was a 4 digit exact value. Did it change? If so, when? Tim S.
