    Wow, I guess the Hillary fans are out in force, marking a comment that is true as troll because it is inconvenient.

    So in other words about the same price as the iPhone when it came out?

    http://aaplinvestors.net/stats...

    (look at the last set of prices, as this is an unlocked phone you are comparing to)

    $600 is about right for most nice phones, sure you can get some Androids for around $100, but they are really far down on the spec sheets.

    Good thing than that the collective has spoken, and they want removable/larger batteries, not micro phones.

    My Kyocera Brigadier will go through a weekend pretty decently.

    According to the specs, 26 hr talk time, that should translate pretty good when not talking on it. It is however huge, but I see that as a plus as it is near invincible.

    That is likely what the FBI investigation is all about. However, it is part of the job as head of the Dept of State to be able to say "that information is classified".

    So, for her not to be able to say, "hey, this should be classified, perhaps I should report this", and instead forward the emails on, says quite a bit about her.

    Some of the Motorola phones have a spray coating on the circuit boards that prevents water damage, rather than trying to make a waterproof case.

    You might not know this, but those services indicate quite clearly that they rewrap your bag after it is inspected as well, so it really isn't secure in any way.

    What classified information did the presidents you list email around on unclassified systems that they owned? This is a pretty serious felony, not a little thing like you are trying to make it out to be.

    In fact, I have noticed in this industry, if you don't hop, your pay stagnates, hopping gets you a 20% increase, staying gets you 0-3% increase. There is no reason to stay with a company long term if they don't value enough to give you raises. I am not an under performer either, it is just the way of companies.

    Does working in blue collar work preclude printing things? Work orders are on paper in many places, receipts for work, documentation and maintenance manuals are often printed. Just because the person doesn't use a computer themselves doesn't mean they don't cause things to be printed.

    I have known quite a few Jews, and have had very interesting conversations on why Jesus wasn't the promised savior, but I have never known a Jew to not like Christians at all. At heart, Jews, Christians and followers of Islam (what is the term for that?) are all essentially the same religion, they all worship the same god. In fact, the Koran specifically states that Jews and Christians should not be persecuted as they are brothers in faith. Unfortunately, not many Islamics (?) actually read and understand the Koran, just as many Christians don't read and understand the bible.

    Heck, if you look at all the recent ones in the news, it is pretty amazing people still have this discussion:

    Freddy Grey in Ferguson: He wrestled for control of a policeman's firearm discharging two shots inside the car, tried to run away, was stopped by the policeman, then proceeded to rush a policeman holding a gun on him. This is not the model you want to hold up as police abuse, this is a thug who would have gotten shot if it was a citizen, or a police officer, if he was white black or yellow.
