Oh wow. Snopes calls it "Mostly False" because some of the ancillary details aren't right. Stop the fucking presses! Someone tell the New York Times that snopes is choking on Hillary's dick again!
No, Snopes calls it mostly false because an average person would agree with them.
Only people looking for conspiracies would see the situation and conclude that Clinton was being malicious vs doing her job as a defense attorney. There is an assumption of innocence UNTIL proven guilty in our justice system and, as such, there is an entitlement to a proper defense.
We have lawyers who represent very bad people all of the time. It's part of our system of Justice. Without it we end up back in the dark ages. It has it's flaws and not all outcomes result in justice, but it's better than just about every other justice system so far.
What's most interesting is just how little attention is paid to how poorly the prosecution did their job. After all, if they were any good, then the guy would have been convicted instead of agreeing to the plea bargain and the Judge accepting it.
When I was young and stupid, and had a car that required refilling the radiator every 20 miles, I went to a Ford dealership and got sold an 87 Escort. Biggest pile of shit I've ever owned. Within 2 years I'd replaced every light bulb on the car. The cruise control installed by the dealer (Pearson Ford at Fairmont and El Cajon) kept coming unscrewed and would hang down as gravity took over. Battery died with no warning 2-3 years in, fortunately it was a manual clutch so I got a stranger to push start me. I'd never had comprehensive insurance, they sold me a 1 year plan for over $1k. After a year I went to renew it and found out that A) it only covered the car, not me, my passengers, nor any damage done; and B) I could have a proper insurance plan for $200. The car itself was shit. The floorpan rusted out, when it rained your feet got wet. At 80k miles the fanbelt squealed, mechanic pointed out the crankshaft pulley was wobbling, which is Never A Good Sign. The driver's seat broke so I was driving in a reclining position (this got a recall after I'd sold the car but before I bitched at the dealer for it).
Fuckers ripped me off, they closed some 10 years back and move to Miramar road.
Been driving imports (Infiniti rocks) ever since, I'll never buy an American car again.
In 1991/92 I bought a used 1986 Mercury Lynx Sport 4-cylinder manual (same base as the Escort). It was a reliable car all through university and a couple of years after. Battery went a couple of years after I got it, but it was 5 years old at that point. Plus, as a manual, it was easy to push start. The engine computer also went but that was an easy and inexpensive fix.
Just as I was about to get rid of it, I had a similar problem as you with leaking water. I finally found the source when I was cleaning and waxing it to sell, after I got a 1995 Mustang (loved that car...). I never knew it at the time, but these cars were known for rusting at the top of the foot well that extended into the engine bay. The top lip would hold water, rust out, and then the floors would get wet. The water wouldn't drip, like you would expect, but it simply ran down the back of the carpeting. I'm guessing that you never knew that it was actually leaking at the top and not from underneath. Once the floor got wet, this would cause the foot wells to rust out.
This is exactly why I dropped Netflix 5 years ago. It was obvious then that they weren't going to spend the money to maintain their current movie collection and I am a big movie fan. I couldn't care less about TV series.
The few TV series that I do like I watch on TV/DVR since I have to pay for the movie channels. Amazon Prime is slowly getting there. But they haven't gotten to the point where their library is big enough.
The latest hysteria about Trump for example: Trump said very clearly that he would ask his Attorney General to assign a Special Prosecutor to investigate the Clinton's. Sounds reasonable to most of us considering the amount of corruption that surrounds them (worded intentionally, so read what I wrote instead of what you want to see). Media report: Trump is going to randomly jail people. He's a dictator, he's a this, he's a that.
And yet, this is not reasonable under the US constitution and the separation of powers between the Executive and the Judicial branches. It's the first step towards the misuse of powers that the US founding fathers tried hard to prevent. The point is that even this, despite it sounding "reasonable", isn't....
And having a replaceable battery does jack shit if the charging controller / firmware is the problem, which is likely implemented in the phone itself to bring down the cost of the batteries.
If they determine that it's a firmware problem it can be fixed with an update. If it's found that the physical circuit design is the problem, then they are screwed.
It sounds like they just don't have a handle on what is causing the problem. They tried just replacing the batteries in the replacement version, but ti appears that it may not be bad batteries after all. I'm guessing that they didn't do a thorough cause analysis before implementing the recall, they just jumped to the conclusion that the bad component was the battery.
At least, that's my sense as to why this is being handled so poorly...
Oh God the clown doesn't realize that politifact was busted working with the dnc in the dncleaks.
Everything that I typed can be checked against multiple news sources. But instead of fact checking what was stated you would rather attack the links provided and call me a clown. Do some homework yourself and maybe we'll listen to what you have to add to the conversation. Until then you are just name calling...
Hillary was also proven guilty by admitting she destroyed emails after receiving a subpoena from Congress which is at a minimum Obstruction of Justice. She is guilty of perjury again by looking at her own testimony where either she lied to Congress or the FBI Director did. Within the statues of the law, she is guilty of mishandling classified information. Proven by the FBI directory who for her case, and only her case, put a stipulation of mens rea on filing charges. NO other cases in the US have used intent as a stipulation for assessing guilt, NONE. Intent has not even been used in the sentencing of cases against US Military mishandling classified materials. Some of which were completely accidental (US Marine who found a paper in his laundry and turned it in only to be handed over to the courts).
Can we stick to facts please...
Hillary did not say that she destroyed email after receiving a subpoena from Congress. The guy managing her email destroyed the emails after being asked to remove personal emails months earlier but he slacked off and didn't delete them until later. The FBI found that there was no collusion. Even the Republicans in Congress couldn't find any evidence. Anything beyond that is just political grandstanding... unless you have hidden evidence to add to the discussion...
As for intent, historical court cases does not back up your assertion that intent was not a requirement for a successful conviction. Here is a good article explaining the previous cases:
What's the problem? Trump publicly, on a national forum, made a promise to bring her to justice. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, history is rife with the Clintons personally threatening and publicly destroying the reputation of their victims. At least the American public sees all the dirty laundry laid out for all to see. I walked away from that debate satisfied that what needed to be said was said, and topics of that needed closure got it. Now it's up to the American voter to decide; and I say that knowing full well Clinton has a greater chance at winning. But there can be no doubt, if she wins, it's only because America and condoned this behavior on all counts, including the lawless corruption at hand.
What is the problem? Really.... Wow, just.... wow....
I would suggest reading the Wiki article below, the US Constitution, and perhaps a few civics books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Lets start with the fact that the US constitutions outlines an independent judiciary which is separate from the executive branch. It's up to the Judicial Branch to decide on prosecutions outside of any political influence. It prevents the abuse of power where the President could order the jailing of dissidents or anyone else that disagrees with his policies. The Executive branch does not have this power and never should, even if it sounds like "Justice".
By that token, Oprah, without question, would end up being our next POTUS over Trump. And I say that as someone whom will be voting Trump; not because I like the guy, but because Clinton is that fucking *EVIL*!!!
Been drinking the cool-aid much....
Personally, anyone who threatens to personally see to the prosecution and jailing their opponent if they win actually falls under the heading of evil dictator... Whatever else Trump has said, that is the most scary one because it hints at undermining the separation of powers that the founding fathers wisely adopted in an attempt to prevent dictatorships and Kings.
Still trying to figure out what you need to shoehorn a phone interface on my desktop and make it difficult to change it. But I think they are getting the point... Otherwise we would not be seeing this now.
The camera app is likely required because Windows 10 has facial recognition for logon. You can use it with both tablet (built-in camera) and deskop (usb camera).
Perhaps the alarm clock has some sore of tie-in with Alexa...
What stops them from supporting both a headphone jack and adding USB-C headphone support? NOTHING...
I disagree with the assertion that Samsung NEEDS to push USB-C devices. I.m pretty sure that there are plenty of other uses beyond cell phones... The business environment is much larger than Samsung and a lot of Corps have gone to VoIP which require headsets.
There probably were current legal and Democratic campaign strategy data on the laptops. Keeping them would leave them open to a possibility of FOA requests, leaks, etc. I would definitely expect that once the FBI looked at the laptop that any pertinent evidence would have been copied and cataloged and added to the case notes prior to destroying the laptops.
This was purely about the personal email server. How much "evidence" do you expect that the FBI would find on these laptops that they didn't already have? Anything other than the email server investigation was out of bounds.
Personally, I think that the Republicans are upset, not because of the agreement for computer destruction, but because they now can't subpoena the computers to go on a fishing trip...
Lost network sharing on all updated computers. Printer automatically uninstalled (had Win10 drivers). Lost most file associations. Reboot problems.
Yup, the 1607 update was really great!
Atleast my start menu is a lot messier now.
I was a few revisions behind on my Win 10 Pro so I've missed all of the fun until now.
I was on 1511.494 and the 1511 patches refused to install. Spent Thursday "fixing" it. The problem turned out to be MSSQL services need to be disabled during the update and the driver for my Audigy 2ZS would cause an IRQ bluescreen during install. Both of these were blocking upgrades. I installed 1607 at the same time as patch 4496 had just been released.
The upgrade itself went fine, no problems on reboot. - No problems with my printer, still works fine - I don't use network shares, so can't comment on that - I use Stardock Start 10 for my Start menu so I don't notice any changes there
I did notice that the patch reset some file associations to the Windows 10 defaults. For example, I had to change MP3/MP4 default back to Windows Media Player and Photo viewing back to Windows Photo Viewer. Microsoft should not have done this automatically!! They should have asked the user if they wanted to change programs. I expect that I'll have to "fix" some of my relative's computers as a result of this....
I've been using the free version of Avast for the last 5 years. The last time I looked Avast scored highly in A/V tests, plus it also seems to have robust email virus detection. Windows Defender works well and it has been progressively getting better but I believe that its still behind most of the other A/V products. Plus, I trust Avast to discover viruses and update the detection files quicker than Microsoft.
Granted, Avast does come with some non-essential modules, but they are easily uninstalled or disabled.
I will say though... other than sports being harder to watch, I'm much happier with having Netflix and Hulu than I was when I had cable. I like being able to pick what I want, rather than reality TV shows being on every channel and that's my only option. History Channel reality TV, discovery channel reality TV... ARGH!
Streaming is fragmenting though. Yahoo is stealing some shows from Hulu. CBS is going solo. BBC is launching their own separate channel. Soon it will be more expensive to cut the cord because streaming is fragmenting so badly.
I subscribe to the NHL Live which gives me hockey. The only reasons why I am still on cable used to be HBO and NFL. Now that HBO has their service, that just leaves the NFL. The day that NFL and Redzone becomes a streaming service is the day I cancel my cable. If they do it right, we'll be able to watch any game we want instead of the game that they designate for our market. For example, this past weekend they weren't showing the Green Bay game in our area.
But yes, if you want the full package of what cable has to offer, then it's going to be more expensive to cut the cord. If you can live with a few select services (i.e. Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, and NHL Live) then it makes more sense. But if you also subscribe to Netflix, Showtime, etc. then you may as well have cable.
I repaired a PC that was primarily used in an automotive repair facility. That's not dust. It's soot from the exhaust. Unsurprisingly, the CD-ROM drive in the machine that I was repairing was nonfunctional because the lens was dirty.
You're right, though. I have no idea how that floppy drive is still operational after 30+ years.
I used to work for an oil company. It takes less than a year for a computer to go from shiny new to looking like this. Even less time in a garage. The biggest problem isn't brake dust or exhaust but the combination of those plus oil and grease from mechanics. The grease and oil gets on the case and then everything else just sticks and builds up layers.
Regardless, neither are well suited to the office. But one or the other of them will be seating Supreme Court justices. That's all that matters at this point. His choices - which will come from a list we've already seen - will skew towards constructionist jurists inclined to preserve the rights the Constitution protects. Her choices will without question be liberals who, like her, promise to act early and often to erode those rights. I'd rather have his likely flavor of jurists in place when we have future cases involving the Commerce Clause, campaign finance, balance of power issues, and friction around the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth amendments.
My biggest fear isn't the justices that he would appoint, although that concerning too. My biggest fear is that he will do exactly as he says, roll back the the checks and balances that we have in place for financial institutions. Because when he says that he wants to reduce regulation, that's what he really means. It's the removal of these regulations that lead to the housing crisis and allows for trading manipulation.
This isn't a "bug". It's a case of an overloaded drum being spun at high speed creating forces that the drum cannot handle after some use.
Anyone who has used a top loader knows that it needs to be at least somewhat balanced when it goes into spin mode. The problem is certain kinds of "washables" that aren't distributing themselves around the drum and instead stay lumped up and heavy.
Try suing a centrifuge manufacturer when it self-destructs after you've put something in only one of the slots. That's that this is.
If it isn't a bug, as you claim, then it must be a mechanical limitation.
If it's a mechanical limitation, then every washing machine on the planet would have this problem.
Since that obviously is not the case, then your statement that it is not a bug is obviously wrong.
Well... not every washing machine.... The front loading ones seem to be more robust.... It's probably because they are supported better and can't generate the type of wobble that affects the top loading models....
the results for this quarter were clearer: a net loss of $372 million on revenue of $334 million.
So, for every dollar of revenue, they spent that dollar, plus more than more than another dollar. If that's the definition of a strong financial foundation, give me your credit cards and I'll make you WONDERFULLY strong. They must be using graduates from the Trump University's school of accounting.
They have, according to their balance sheet, $3 Billion in cash and short-term investments and about $3 Billion in liabilities, half of which is long-term debt. So, they aren't going bankrupt for at least 5 years with the current burn rate. I'm guessing that dropping in house development of phones will reduce the burn rate quite a bit. So, their financial foundation would be considered solid for at least the next couple of years. However, if they don't return the company to profitability within that time, things could get worse.
Note: The above is purely my opinion. I am not a financial analyst.
I print personally maybe once a year, for taxes. A moderately priced home printer isn't good enough for that. At work, I print maybe 2 or 3 additional times per year. Printing is just becoming extremely rare for me.
My mother however likes to print a few times a year, and it's problematic. It's a second hand printer first of. But generally ink cartridges aren't working, nozzles get clogged, the color she wants is empty, several prints needed before it gets sized correctly, etc. If she understood things like thumb drives and how to use them she'd probably do better just taking it to the local drug store to print, or to a friend's house.
Laser printer... No clogged heads, dried ink, etc....
Yes, it's a thing already; so if you have cat 6A installed everywhere, you can forget about it. However, there is a lot of installed 5E and 6 where it makes sense.
10 Gbps on copper has a limited range of about 15m, which is why its primary use is for servers in a data center.
The 2.5/5 Gbps copper standard will work up the 100m. It was developed largely for WiFi Access Points. 802.11ac Wave-2 with MIMO can go up to around 7 Gbps.
.....the sudden realization that music videos are mostly crap...
Most people launch music videos then start surfing other pages. What YouTube should have is an audio only option. At least then the data usage would be a lot less.
This article is about a proposed drone operation law in California. The law is poorly written, but the author of the article has, what I think, is a good compromise. He suggests that drones should be able to operate at between 350 and 500 feet over private property. Anything below 350 feet, without authorization, is fair game for the shotgun crowd. The graphic depicting this is at the bottom of the article.

The cruise control installed by the dealer (Pearson Ford at Fairmont and El Cajon) kept coming unscrewed and would hang down as gravity took over.

I'd rather have his likely flavor of jurists in place when we have future cases involving the Commerce Clause, campaign finance, balance of power issues, and friction around the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth amendments.
My biggest fear isn't the justices that he would appoint, although that concerning too. My biggest fear is that he will do exactly as he says, roll back the the checks and balances that we have in place for financial institutions. Because when he says that he wants to reduce regulation, that's what he really means. It's the removal of these regulations that lead to the housing crisis and allows for trading manipulation.
This isn't a "bug". It's a case of an overloaded drum being spun at high speed creating forces that the drum cannot handle after some use.
Anyone who has used a top loader knows that it needs to be at least somewhat balanced when it goes into spin mode. The problem is certain kinds of "washables" that aren't distributing themselves around the drum and instead stay lumped up and heavy.
Try suing a centrifuge manufacturer when it self-destructs after you've put something in only one of the slots. That's that this is.
If it isn't a bug, as you claim, then it must be a mechanical limitation.
If it's a mechanical limitation, then every washing machine on the planet would have this problem.
Since that obviously is not the case, then your statement that it is not a bug is obviously wrong.
Well... not every washing machine.... The front loading ones seem to be more robust.... It's probably because they are supported better and can't generate the type of wobble that affects the top loading models....
the results for this quarter were clearer: a net loss of $372 million on revenue of $334 million.
So, for every dollar of revenue, they spent that dollar, plus more than more than another dollar. If that's the definition of a strong financial foundation, give me your credit cards and I'll make you WONDERFULLY strong. They must be using graduates from the Trump University's school of accounting.
They have, according to their balance sheet, $3 Billion in cash and short-term investments and about $3 Billion in liabilities, half of which is long-term debt. So, they aren't going bankrupt for at least 5 years with the current burn rate. I'm guessing that dropping in house development of phones will reduce the burn rate quite a bit. So, their financial foundation would be considered solid for at least the next couple of years. However, if they don't return the company to profitability within that time, things could get worse.
Note: The above is purely my opinion. I am not a financial analyst.
I print personally maybe once a year, for taxes. A moderately priced home printer isn't good enough for that. At work, I print maybe 2 or 3 additional times per year. Printing is just becoming extremely rare for me.
My mother however likes to print a few times a year, and it's problematic. It's a second hand printer first of. But generally ink cartridges aren't working, nozzles get clogged, the color she wants is empty, several prints needed before it gets sized correctly, etc. If she understood things like thumb drives and how to use them she'd probably do better just taking it to the local drug store to print, or to a friend's house.
Laser printer... No clogged heads, dried ink, etc....
Wasn't 10Gbps a thing already?
Yes, it's a thing already; so if you have cat 6A installed everywhere, you can forget about it. However, there is a lot of installed 5E and 6 where it makes sense.
10 Gbps on copper has a limited range of about 15m, which is why its primary use is for servers in a data center.
The 2.5/5 Gbps copper standard will work up the 100m. It was developed largely for WiFi Access Points. 802.11ac Wave-2 with MIMO can go up to around 7 Gbps.
Well it... because you... you see, it's...
Just shut up, that's what!
.....the sudden realization that music videos are mostly crap...
Most people launch music videos then start surfing other pages. What YouTube should have is an audio only option. At least then the data usage would be a lot less.
This article is about a proposed drone operation law in California. The law is poorly written, but the author of the article has, what I think, is a good compromise. He suggests that drones should be able to operate at between 350 and 500 feet over private property. Anything below 350 feet, without authorization, is fair game for the shotgun crowd. The graphic depicting this is at the bottom of the article.
