    Have you been paying attention to all the VA scandles recently? This is what socialized medicine looks like in the US, and that is why it terrifies us. The US governemnt is the last entity you want in charge of health care, they can't do it right even when congress throws money at them asking them to fix the problem.

    Resistive display? Current phones have capactive displays, and I can't say I have heard them called bloody...unless you are bludgening people with the latest thin phones.

    Last I checked, Microsoft doesn't have to approve every application I run on my Windows computer. I can run any application I want. How is Win10 more restrictive than iOS or Android? When was the last time you were prevented from having root on your PC?

    Hillary actually is corrupt, and proven corrupt. Trump might be corrupt. Which would be a better choice? Personally, I think the better choice was Johnson, at least he was only an idiot.

    racist,

    What race did he speak out against? Please, give examples. The only things I have heard as the fake news that he was for a muslim (religion) registry, which he never actually said, and that he wanted to expand the southern border wall, which could be considered anti latino (also not a race, latinos can be black, white, and native). Please point me to anything racist he has said or done.

    sexist,

    In what way? Calling out a Fox News anchor for her vitrolic attitude near the beginning of the race? Talking about (in private) grabbing the pussies of willing women? So you are saying he is sexist for having a sex drive now? Wow...

    bullying

    Well, I guess we should get rid of all the polititions, after all that describes Hillary! just as much.

    fuckwad

    So, because you don't like him, no one else is allowed to like him? Your candidate lost, get over it. If you supported Hillary, I would like to point out to you that she is pretty damn sleezy, anti woman, racist as all hell, and supports her husband through all his rape allegations.

    I voted for Johnson, and I am left of Hillary, so don't act like I am some ignorant Trump voter, because that doesn't fly.

    AC must be talking about Hillary, she after all actually voted for increasing the border fence.

    Sorry, you seem to be confused. Hillary was in the Democratic party, and her campeign was the one inciting violence at other candidate's rallies.

  8. What country would that be, I have heard of no country that doesn't have anyone getting shot. Australia, an Island with strict gun laws still has gun crime:

  9. As opposed to the old, socketed version, that would have just been blown to pieces.

    Unlikely, as the disk drive is about 2 square inches. With the new MBP, the storage is soldered on, so if there is damage to any of the motherboard, the whole system is junk. The only way to retrieve the data would be with some kind of special rig, or by desoldering the flash chips.

    We've already learnt that nuclear power plants are a stupid idea.

    Except they are far less dangerous than EVERY other power generation method we have. Why wouldn't we build more? Even in meltdown, the deaths from nuclear are far outstripped by the deaths from coal, the waste products from solar and wind manufacturing, and many other problems with other generation methods.

    Likely for the same reason RedHat still exists. Enterprise licensing keeps them afloat while other distros get by with donations.

    I think I should try Gentoo again, it has been a while. I went to install Ubuntu on my laptop last week, and it never even started the OS to continue to the install, just stopped at two squares in the loading screen with no errors.
