Past presidents have not had this amount of people showing up in line to meet with them before actually holding office. The time was normally spent figuring out the cabinet (and the bureau, and the armoire) and getting ready. I don't recall this line up of important people showing up to meet with past incoming presidents unless they were considered for cabinet positions, and even that was usually done in private.
People are stuck into a simplistic left vs right style of thinking. Fascism doesn't really fit into that mold. But everyone things "fascists are bad, therefore they must be the opposite of what I am." Today in the US there aren't many people that can think outside of a one dimensional view of politics, but fascism arose when there were several competing ideologies at the same time, and they weren't just different degrees of left vs right.
From my perspective growing up in a farming area in Calilfornia, the biggest employers of undocumented workers are also very conservative and Republican. These farmers wanting cheap workers are not elitist liberals by any means. They just want cheap labor. Unions who are typically branded as liberal these days are the ones who want to get rid of undocumented workers who drive down wages. For some bizarre reason this turned into a left vs right issue, but that's how everything works in the US because we're not smart enough to understand anything more nuanced than two political stances. There are jobs that American citizens and green card holders really don't want to take if they have a choice. If you want to get rid of undocumented workers I think the smart approach would be to reduce welfare subsidies for able bodied workers.
As an innocent bystander (not republic/democrat/conservative/liberal), it's weird to hear people accuse others of being liberals merely because they're pointing out that they don't like Trump and his unrealistic stance. Every single person I know who voted for Trump does NOT like Trump, they just treated him as the slightly more tolerable candidate. So when I see someone pointing to Trump as the greatest candidate ever and that person is smart enough to use a computer, I can only imagine that they just keep repeating that as a mantra in order to keep from going into a deep depression.
The Republican leadership does NOT like Trump either, are they all liberal stooges? Yes some might claim that but if they believe it then they're in serious need of some vacation time with round the clock care. Everyone on the left or right is pandering to Trump as the next President, that does not mean they like him or agree with him, it's just basic common sense.
I agree that Trump is being much more toned down after the election. However the people he's listening to are not necessarily doing this. For a man claiming to be of the people he's nominating a cabinet full of the elitist of elites, and that's certainly due to the people whispering in his ear. So I don't think he'll flake on this as he seems to be nominating everyone his handlers tell him to. His fanbase don't seem to think this, they start off bashing the elites but then seem happy that these same elites are being nominated. My guess is that the people pulling the strings are going to be surprised when they let their guard down and he starts moving on his own. I honestly think Trump never planned on winning at all and he's winging it with the help of a lot of whispers in his ear. While Trump does seem to be backing down from campaign rhetoric I don't think he's showing that with his cabinet picks. He seems more like acting like a prominent CEO and letting others do the work of running things while he gets the publicity.
In other words, there's a whole lot of unpredictability going on. Will he just do what he's told or will he occasionally exert some free will? Too hard to predict. That's why there's a stream of people visiting his throne in Trump Tower, they need to pander to the unpredictable. People who are convinced with certainty about what Trump will do in office are deluding themselves.
Why not encrypt the notes? People are suddenly amazed and shocked that when they put unecrypted data into the "cloud" that other people can look at it? This is not the 90s with noobs on AOL, we should all be assuming that the internet is a dangerous minefield and to tread slowly and carefully while there.
Agreed, if you can only measure 500mA and above, I could seriously doubt it's accuracy or usefulness for anything but high energy appliances (the washer, dryer, fridge, etc).
That's easy though. They don't have anything good in the store anyway. Any game they have that requires driver updates is most likely also available separately from from other outlets. Some of the games in Windows Store have worse performance than the game acquired elsewhere because the store wants the games to have unnecessary features (it's their new version of Gaming For Windows Live, another attempt to monetize you).
Existing games run fine. New drivers always are chock full of crap I don't want. No need to upgrade.
As far as preferences go, the AMD vs Nvidia fans trolling each other is just as moronic as the Democrat vs Republican fans trolling each other. Sure, buy and or vote for one, but don't make it your life's mission to attack someone with a different choice.
You should explain what de-evolving means. It's not a scientific word. As a hint, cockroaches are more evolved than humans as they have been evolving for a longer time and with shorter generations.
's only modern society where women were expected to be stay-at-home, and even then that was only in the upper and middle classes in industrially advanced societies. Humans evolved with both sexes working due to the need for survival. The stereotypical Victorian household is anything but traditional.
They didn't care that lies were told because they decided that their top priority was to get their guy elected, higher priority than doing what's right for their fellow citizens or the country. This is the worst aspect of politics, which already has so many negatives. The partisans pick sides and defend them no matter what, no matter how wrong they are, no matter how much it hurts, they assume that the only thing that matters is winning. It's like when the US made allies with some of the most brutal dictators in the world because they agreed to help fight communists and socialists and unions, because they felt that winning that political contest was more important than maintaining honor and decency.
There's also the group that just doesn't care about the lies. Logic and reason are tossed out because they think that the gut feeling is always right. I was on a jury once with a guy like this. All but him voted for not guilty, but he was convinced the guy was guilty. We went over the evidence point by point and showed that the prosecutor had a very weak case. But he just kept getting madder about all this, until he blurted out "well if he's not guilty of these charges at least he must be guilty of *something*". That's how I see a lot of voters, in all political parties, they stick with what their gut tells them.
And then the last group, they can't tell if something is a lie because they lack the ability to determine true from false. Their only information comes from what they are told and they won't bother trying to corroborate or investigate independently. Sometimes they'll justify it by saying "all media lies, so I refuse to believe anything the media tells me" while turning around and believing whatever their Facebook friends say. Other times they just don't know how to sift through information or differentiate between a story with shaky evidence and a story with good backing.
(and it doesn't help that most journalists have turned into walking tape recorders and only parrot whatever they hear politicians say)
Free data is something else entirely. We PAY for our ISPs, we PAY for netflix, and yet some carriers want to slow that down in preference for their own offerings.
The conspiracy theory also has to reinforce the person's existing beliefs to get good traction. Such a person believing Hillary is a mass murderer is much more likely to believe the pizzagate story. Someone who thinks the government always lies is more likely to believe the moon landing is a hoax. Someone who believes there's a secret one world government is going to wholeheartedly accept the line about contrails and mind control.
Trump won't appoint anyone who ever called him a dummy or unsuited for office, which eliminates essentially everyone qualified for any of those cabinet positions.
Though really, he's probably just following what some of his advisers suggest, and his advisers have the goal of dismantling government by destroying it from within.
Now they sell fat power packs so that you can charge your ultrathin phone. I think a lot of companies just say "don't worry about it, someone will come along and solve our design problems and sell it as an add on."
Engineers are basically people who keep saying "it can't be done in under budget and on time!" Which is why most companies now have products designed by marketing and sales. CEOs don't like workers who keep telling the truth.
Bullshit, many European countries have faster and cheaper internet than the US, with nationwide coverage instead of the patchwork in the US. Estonia, part of former Soviet Union, 10mbps DSL is only 15euro a month average, cheaper than the electric bill.
There are cities that are bad also. People say "Just get LTE!" but that's expensive and difficult to use for computers. And in many places your decent enough to be usable internet may be restricted to a single overpriced most hated company in America supplier.

I've had problems. Mostly because the driver updates shove in all the extra crap that no one wants instead of just the barebones driver.

Is this due to women becoming less picky and settling for the first douchebag that comes along?
