  1. Oh please stop! The democrats have no exclusivity in the deception department.

    Just don't attempt censorship. That is not allowed. Evidently the government wants a monopoly on deception.

  3. Come to think of it, the southern hemisphere should shift its calendar by six months, even if *Christmas in July* is a thing.

  4. Re:Whatever was wrong with local solar time? on Slashdot Asks: Is It Time To Dump Time Zones In Favor of Coordinated Universal Time? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Solar time is the only way. But we need to shift UTC 180 degrees so it jibes with the International Date Line, so the day 'begins' at 0000 instead of UTC +/-12

  5. No! We should stick with natural solar time. on Slashdot Asks: Is It Time To Dump Time Zones In Favor of Coordinated Universal Time? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And the prime meridian where UTC is set should be moved over to the international date line.

    Just as long as you're not one of those blaming the 'money'. And chances are there are alternatives to vote for. If you're playing the 'lesser evil' game, then yes, you too, are to blame. 'Lesser evil' is what created the situation we are in. Even abstention becomes a better option in such a case.

    Of course Hillary's success/failure will depend on the balance in Congress, which with its usual 95% reelection rate probably won't change much. But if by chance the dems reacquire a majority, there won't be much investigation of anything. Conversely same goes for Trump with a republican congress. (But he's not going to win anyway) Besides that, they have enough skeletons in their closets to keep them from doing real harm. Hillary's people can take them down too. Notice how they let Nixon off the hook for actual crimes committed. It's gangster against gangsters. They are untouchable. The important thing is that republican/democrats keep all the seats. The opposition between them is more for our entertainment. Things were even uglier during Jefferson's and Adams' campaign, and they remained very close friends afterwards.

    I certainly hope our choices are better in four years.

    That the voters nominated the two worst options is only a reflection on them. It's been all downhill since Kennedy died. Who ever thought than anybody could make Bush look like a picture of grace and decorum?

    I know there are a lot of HRC apologists here that think I'm a Trump supporter...

    I get that from both sides. If you're against one you're for the other. Good old tribalism at work there. All rationality is pushed aside, something that you're bumping up against with the other guy there.

    Your console TV have the record player too? I thought they were all in color by '68. We were fortunate to have five channels in the VHF with two local stations. Didn't have UHF until we got our first color set. It opened up a whole new world of professional wrestling and two minute long commercials.

    All ballots are determined by the voters. There is no one else to blame. The process is clearly spelled out.

    Assign a randomly generated nickname or password to each passenger.

    Not a bad idea. And it adds a bit of privacy for the user. The driver doesn't need to know the name.

  11. So, the FBI does illegal things on Unsealed Court Docs Show FBI Used Malware Like 'A Grenade' (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Kind of helps to understand why they won't go after politicians who do illegal things. In other words, *What do they call it when the assassin accuses the assassin?* This is a good example of 'Capoeira'. Everybody remains untouchable, but the spectacle is supreme.

  12. It's not the 'Clinton' machine, it's the political machine that just happened to pick her as the flavor of the week.

    Because this election is really about the Supreme Court.

    Exactly what the democrats are saying to scare people into voting for Hillary. Funny how both sides use the same argument.

    We can't clean house without cleaning the House. Tomorrow is our big chance to squander the opportunity. Since we can expect to see at least 95% of the same old faces, don't hold out any hope for any changes in the FBI, or any other part of the government. The election is the nation's reflection. Not exactly pretty, is it?

    It's not about forcing them to take their money. It's about 'forcing' them to provide their services to the public without discriminating. If the population was more balanced where one group doesn't comprise 85% this would not be an issue.
