    Actually, that sums up the Global Warming deniers' newest scam. It's becoming impossible for any rational person to deny it's happening, so they're changing their prattle to, "It's already gone too far to do anything about it. We might just as well keep on the way we are and trust science to find a way to fix things when the excrement really hits the fan."

    Thanks for that. There must be a Google troll wandering around moderating, since we both got reduced to zero so quickly.

    Imagine me pointing at you and stating, "What he said!"

    In order to use just about any Android app, you have to give it permission to root around in all your personal information, the personal information of all your friends and relatives, your tax records, your religion, whether your teenage kids are virgins and what brand of cat food the old lady down the street has to have for breakfast because the drug company just doubled the price of her meds.

    Google just doesn't want anybody else getting hold of all that lovely data.

  6. The guy you responded to probably runs a lawn mowing business out of his parents' basement. He clearly has no clue what could happen if a customer's data was compromised thanks to a company decision to install Win10. On the advice of our lawyers, we will not be using it in our office. We may transition from Win8.1 to Linux; that hasn't been decided yet.

  7. What's pretty silly is that your lawyers obviously have not informed you about the legal implications of allowing your customers' private data to be accessed by a Windows 10 machine. Either the lawyers should be fired, or you should.

    Of course, you know better than people who have studied this all their lives. Clearly your genius should be recognized.

    Yes, that's what we call "sarcasm".

    Evidently you have proof nobody else has seen that Clinton is as you claim. Trump's failings are a matter of public record.

    And if Clinton is "divisive", that's primarily because Trump's supporters are as fact-averse and divorced from reality as he is. Fortunately, they're a minority and will shortly be swept into the dustbin of history.

    It means nothing of the kind. It means the Republicans managed to choose a frothing madman as their candidate for the highest office in the land. This leaves sane people with no alternative but to hold their noses and vote for the only major-league candidate who isn't an ignorant, moronic bully with what appears to be a genuine mental health problem.
