  1. I have to say, my $2k 2014 home server blows the Mac pro out of the water...

    But, I guess when people want a fashionable computer to fart around with, the Mac Pro fits the bill for approximately 2x the cost.

    If you don't like how the Electoral College system works, why don't you put forth a constitutional amendment and gain support rather than bitching on Slashdot about how unfair everything is?

    Then of course, *after* the election we have the inevitable protests (don't laugh trump supporters, if trump had lost I guarantee there would have been protests against Hillary).

    I doubt it, most republicans actually have work to go to.

  5. That is a setting server side, and is not the default configuration.

  6. The simplest thing is to go to your hubs and restrict the max recipients on emails. Then every reply all gets rejected. Once the issue is fixed, you setup another receive connector that allows large recipient lists, and limit access by login.

    What is so hard about this?

    Deleting the mails afterwards is difficult, but why bother?

    Over and over again, we heard that Obama would not negotiate with the Republicans. Obama was of the opinion that either they allow him to do everything he wants, or he will take his ball and go home. It is impossible to work with someone who won't even talk to you about what they want without throwing a hissy fit.

    Keystone was shut down because it was primarily a way for Canada to ship oil to China. It's of very, very limited use to the United States while presenting significant risks (oil pipelines break all the time because it's cheaper to let 'em break than to maintain them since the tax payer cleans up the spills).

    As opposed to the risks of spills from the current way the oil moves by train?

    Keystone would be an honest environmentalists dream, as pipelines are way safer than the way oil moves without the pipeline. Stopping the pipeline doesn't make Canada put all that oil back into the ground, it just decreases the transport costs and increases the overall safety of the transport.

    From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

    So, was classified information improperly stored? Yes.

    The laws around this do not require intent, so what does the intent matter in this case? It was gross negligence. As a classification authority, Clinton was required to be able to identify classified information when it is not marked, yet she wasn't even able to identify marked classified information.
