Well, there are the lies about all the various meetings that people had with Russians. And then there's the fact that many of them improper and some arguably illegal.
One of the issues we are not hearing much about today is the attempt to use Russian crypto equipment to bypass normal communications.
I suspect the people who attempted to do that are praying they get offered a plea deal.
>Most likely doesn't want to Prove that AC is really a Russian troll.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I'd like to believe the Russians are recoiling in horror at how effective their efforts have been.
More likely shaking their heads in amusement as they see the effects of an almost perfect storm of flaws exposed in the American Electoral system. Computerized gerrymandering, the ease with which the voting machines can be hacked, and an electoral system so bitched up that a candidate can lose even though they received over 3 million more votes than the winner.
A candidate who is beholden to Russia because no other country is willing to lend him money, as well as some other activities involving Russia.
An electorate where a good portion of them have been groomed via Fox Entertainment and other crypto-conservative outlets to View anything outside of the party as evil, inside, you can be a pedophile, and they will say it is bible-approved.
The need for idealists to become more idea over time.
And a racist backlash over a president of not the correct race being elected not once, but twice.
Disasters seldom have a single cause.
It appears that the non-crypto-conservatives have been energized to actually get out and vote. This is probably a good idea, because when an opposing political party starts parading people of such questionable morality that you wouldn't leave your 14 year old daughter alone in a romm with them, its haas cone a bit too far.
As for the trolls in her who are still proclaiming there is no evidence, well that's some pretty impressive denial going on there. Seeing the obvious plea deals of some of the people involved, we'll be getting much more "absolutely no evidence" in addition to the "absolutely no evidence" we already have.
The wheels of the FBI are grinding slowly, but they are grinding extremely fine.
I think they were talking about the network being in Russia has nothing to do with a russian citizen or government being involved.
it is much easier to rent/compromise computers and run a flase flag than it is to move thousands of troops or expensive military equipment for a flase flag operation in the "old military economy"
If it came fmor outside Russia, it wasn't Russia. If it came from inside Russia, it wasn't Russia.
The No True Russia argument.
Exactly. Time to moveon.org. Monopolies won and peons lost. Boo Hoo. That's life. Get over it already.
I don't give a damn.I don't care if Disney owns all of the entertainment venues. and people pay 300 bucks a month for the streaming channels, just like they do now with Comcast. My point is BOHICA,
In fact, the internet of the future is going to look a lot like Comcast does today.
But some are. And our problem is that while men generally do not identify as a gender based group, women do. And I think that this creates a problem.
Which is that men are quite capable of identifying groups, and make risk/reward decisions on almost everything in life. When men see the results of the latest hunt, where there is no necessity for anything other than an accusation to destroy their career, ordinary men who would never think of bothering any woman will do that assessment and come to the conclusion that there is no upside to associating with a group of people who have such power.
Now let's eliminate gender from the equation. If a person considering association with a violent gang does a risk/reward assessment, and comes to the conclusion that associating with a particular gang has very little upside, and they might get killed or arrested, then making that decision not to associate with the gang, most people would say - "Good prudent decision. You have chosen to remove yourself from a dangerous situation. Very smart!"
However, when applying this to a group that can destroy your life in a different way, the mere mention of not associating with that gender based group elicts howls of outrage. Especially odd, since the decision to not associate goes a long way toward eliminating a problem that is so severe that they consider destroying a man's career is a suitable punishment for an accusation. Seems like a plausible goal on their part,
And to the concept of Not all men are like that, not all women are like that - ypou cannot tell by looking at any particular person what is in their mind. So avoiding association with a group that has no upside, and a serious downside makes sense.
Then too, consider that this may simply be to a shift in the role of wine as a beverage. Perhaps wine in 1700 was viewed similar to a cordial today, something consumed in small volumes for its flavor, part of social ritual perhaps.
Don't forget that the less alcoholic beverages were often used as a substitute for water, given that many water supplies were pretty skanky. Beer probably more often, but weak wines wer also a good water substitute.
If wine snobbery never became a thing, would we still be drinking out of smaller glasses?
Oh yeah, there are wine snobs. They are the adult beverage analogy of audiophiles.
That being said, there are some differences in the wine types that do lend themselves to different type glasses. Some glasses taper in at the top to let you catch the smell, some are more open, like champagne. Personally, I think that's a good thing, since the bubbles are fun popping all over, besides, the worst part of champagne is the smell.
That's crazy, I'm in the UK and I've never seen a glass that size outside of a novelty catalog. I'll concede that wine glass sizes have increased (they used to be sold in 125ml measures, nowadays it's usually 175ml or 250ml) but I've never seen a restaurant or pub selling a measure larger than 250ml, and I drink a lot of wine!
As well, this study seems to conclude that people couldn't figure out how to refill their glasses back then. Even with that bit of brilliance, today's wine glasses are pretty specifically designed. different type glasses for different things. We don't often drink Cabernet out of a champagne glass. I suspect that the glasses were the sizes they were because they were the sizes they were, and that refills were easy to procure.
I'm not surprised that this administration has fallen for the shiny veneer of cloud services. However, the idea that this will improve security is laughable. I agree that we need to a technological overhaul using the latest protection but cloud services are not the solution and far from the panacea they claim to be.
Someone's got a plan to make him and his buddies a lot of money off mandatory cloud storage.
At least it will some particular folks more concentrated targets.
I didn't know that 'airwaves' could travel over powerlines. Maybe just the high frequency ones described in the summary? That's a hell of a breakthrough.
They have done a minimal version of this for years.
The problem is that this is another one of those ideas where people believe they can trump the laws of physics.
The last time this was attempted, It failed pretty miserably. There are some serious problems. A power line is an antenna of sorts. You put signals on it, and they are going to radiate outwards from it. And the different frequencies of all the digital data will create a rather broadband hash. It interferes with licensed services. Attempts were made to notch out the frequencies that it used to not have the interference, but intermodulation, the mixing of different frequencies kind of made the notches not do much. The square-like waves of digital signals just make a splattery mess.
Then there is getting it into the house. The concept uses the signals coming in on the house wiring But the signals don't survive goingthrough the transformer that feeds poer to your house. the cure such as it is, is some bypass circuitry that has the signal travelling down high tnesion lines. like a couple KiloVolt, then bypassing the transformer. to your house line. Hopefully the failure mode is always open.
And the real kicker is that just about any radio transmission can knock them out. Kids with hand-talkies, People with CB radios, amateur radio operators, airplaines passing overhead.
Coupled with the fact that it's a "Last Mile" solution, it needs an actual fiber or cable line to get the signal to the BPL lines, the main purpose of BPL is to extract investment money from people who do not understand RF.
It's always sold as a way to get Internet access to people who aren't in a populated area. That part is 100 percent bogus. What would be the point of a last mile solution? They have to run the real line alomst to the house way out in the country.

But this is Trump, so this will amount to another round of Twitter outrage and blow over.
First statement is true, as for the second one - just stand by
See *anyone* in there you'd really like to see as President?
I vote the moo cow guy. Whatever happened to him anyhow, I really liked him.

and for not putting the creep moore into the senate.
The Christian God is very pissed that Moore cannot continue bumping uglies with underage interns in Washington, which Their God agrees with.
Damn Liberal Northeners. God's gonna destroy a southern state to punish the brothers, like he always does.
Seriously what kind of idiot buys into an outfit that has as a basis of operation, asking for something that in most places will get you fired?
? I started to sign up, and when they asked for my password it was 1FuckYouLinkedin!
The repeal of Net Neutrality will work great. Just like Trickle Down Theory. Abtrinance is a great way to prevent youth getting pregnant
Do we have others?
For profit prisons are the free market in action.

This is obviously punishment from God for gay marriage.
Is the Trickle Down Theory that thing where republicans pee on our leg and tell us it's raining?
It's also the "A rising tide lifts all boats" concept. True, except when the little boat is on a short anchor. Then it's pulled underwater and sinks.
Also, not everyone has a boat...
Maybe I should change that to yachts? Don't want to insult the folks in the Hamptons you know.....
So it's pretty awesome that we have built the financial version of perpetual motion...
The stock market?
Which is built on only the inside traders making money. The rest of us? It's designed for us to lose it.
I suspect this is more of the case of Tickle Up Theory.
I just had a mental image of fermenting, bubbling sewage.

Depends.
Yeah - some people have to wear them.
I'm gonna die, and as quickly as possible.

The reviews I saw from good critics say it is perfectly okay, but not particularly good.
Which of course describes all Disney films.
