    Trump doesn't want to kill Pelosi.

    They're all in it together. We can hope that the rope will pull the whole bunch down the drain together, but that's just our hopes and dreams.

    The Google Play Store as originally envisioned would be a good basis. The Play Store as it exists now, as a storefront for flashy entertaining junk is really disappointing. It's a horrendous multicolored ugly mess compared to a few years ago.

    There is plenty of modular useful software available on Android. The biggest issue with it is that it's highly modular, and every piece runs in it's own virtual machine.

    If all you see is micro-transaction kids games, you're spending too much time looking at the blinky animations in the Google Play Store. Which has gotten worse and worse in that regard as time has gone along.

    I have maintained and carried along my own ~/.fvwmrc for years as well. It reminds me of the packages I need to build from pkgsrc each time I set up a NetBSD system. It sn't that bad to use the plain Tab Windows Manager, either, which comes standard in the X11 system. I've toyed with Motif (mwm) a little, too, since it's now open source and buildable in pkgsrc. Fvwm started out as a 'free' reimplementation of mwm.

  9. If you phone pivots away or blanks as soon as the car is in motion, it sounds safe enough.

    There should be a stiff up-front charge on every iPhone to pay for scrapping. Perhaps 30% .

    Standish was a really excellent LCD manufacturer and even based in Wisconsin. We used a few custom displays made by them at a company I worked for in the 90s. They are gone now as far as I can tell. I suspect it has all migrated to China.

    You could give the money to the employees and let them pay for the roads.

    Thank goodness a reasonable number of the burning boxcars have Democratic cargo in them.

    Trump is the Drano president. All the screeching grease in the drain is refreshing to witness.

    They can subpoena him regarding the origin of the DNC emails. He insists that they didn't come from Russia. Perhaps it wasn't Seth Rich, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an inside job.

    We can only sit and wait to learn the truth. Hopefully Assange can continue to help us uncover it.

    If there's one thing the Mueller investigation showed today, it's that enough info has been uncovered that Obama's corrupt legal counsel has been indicted.

    The Mueller report might reveal a number of interesting things about Democratic activities during the 2016 campaign. The whole premise of the special counsel could unravel in a really messy way for the Democrats.

    The first Democrat implicated by the Mueller report, Greg Craig, was just indicted today.

    The Mueller report is going to explode in the Dem's face.

    And if they choose to prosecute Assange to find out where the 'DNC Emails' came from, we'll all find out. It might not have been Seth Rich, but it likely wasn't hacking by "the Russians."

  20. Batteries not included.

  21. China by then had begun pairing its sizable breeding facilities for monkeys (the country exports more than 30,000 a year) with the newest genetic tools, an effort that has turned it into a mecca for foreign scientists who need monkeys to experiment on.

    But hardly a Mecca for Monkeys.

  22. Ford is involved. This study will make a nice diorama display at the Ford Museum in Dearborn.

  23. Most of the people killed with guns in civilian settings have racial characteristics such that that the people in power don't care about them.

  24. At least politicians figured out that when they graduate, they are supposed to go out and find something off the campus to do with their lives.

  25. Why would this amount to 'death'? If I had, for an example, a LabView system on my bench that ran on Windows XP, it wouldn't need to 'die' because it isn't networked to any other systems. There are lots of pieces of test equipment that embed various versions of Windows in them. At a previous job we had Unholtz-Dicke shaker tables. One had a Windows XP host, the other had a Windows 2000 host. They worked fine. They will continue to work fine.
