Counted one way, the US people favored Trump. Counted another way, the US people favored Clinton. Almost without exception, political observers now profess a clear preference for the vote-counting method that would have worked best for their favored candidate: Clinton supporters have discovered a new passion for using the aggregate popular vote, while Trump supporters see great virtue in the Electoral College. Politics as usual.
That's an oversimplification. It's likely that if you ask most voters, they didn't favor either choice... they were once again forced to pick their personal lesser of two weevils.
Because of the recent lack of credulity, there's a void in news delivery that's been created by the traditional news sources. The vacuum created gives other, less vetted sources an opportunity to win hearts and minds.
Assange has merely done what many men of less than perfect character would if they had been stuck in the Ecuadorian embasssy in London for four years and counting with no positive poutcome in sight...He's sold his credentials to the highest bidder.
You're onto something there coward. There's a sound argument to be made that the production's quality has everything to do with the success of a 3D project.
The reason Avatar was such a box office success, other than Cameron's genius, was the forking budget. The theatre experience was worth the inconvenience of wearing the glasses because the best 3D tech available was available. It seems like many copycats were looking to play up the 3D angle while not delivering the same quality of goods.
Though it's not difficult to imagine a firm would shade itself in the best possible light, it seems unlikely investors with uncommon sense would rely solely on a company's subjective self-appraisal.
Also, it needs to be asked, "What is the plaintiff's motivation? Do-gooder or axe grinder?
The intuitive leap from medium to small is unquestionably the insightful equivalent of Beamon's long jump in the same vein that Joe Mixon will ever play a down in the NFL.
I have the legacy land line and switched to Directv to catch a sports package, and this has led to a pretty heavy marketing attempt to bundle the other services.
The temptation being proffered now is the "unlimited" data use for viewing tv on all your devices if you submit to the bundling.
I am naturally sceptical that these perks will last long beyond an introductory period, as the very best deals for everything are only available to new customers for a limited time.
The Trump presidency will be the same way. He'll give away billions to the top and protect their interests. Everyone else'll be left holding the bag.
Yes. Just like everyone else already invited to sit at the table of power and influence. The only interesting thing is how a billionaire mapped out a road to the Presidency while convincing so many poor people to support him.
If true, this raises the ethical question of America justifying meddling in the next Russian Presidential Election in 2018, or the one after that.
I bet the rest of the World can pause and find this amusing, since we Americans probably sought to influence more elections the last century than any nation... looking at you Central & South America.
I'm as bewildered as the next fellow as to how we ended up our newest Commander-in-Chief, but I also believe it's time he and the former administration started working together like big boys.
Why has it taken so long for industry to attack these obvious FB breaches of copyright?
The Facebook has benefited, undoubtedly, from it's inherent ubiquitous relevance.
Though it is plausibly due to the sudden decline in the stock of twitter, we should not be colored surprised at the revelation that these popular forums are as difficult to turn profitable as some of the dotcom companies.
As worldwide energy use increases, energy should get more expensive, prompting us to look for ways to use energy more efficiently and bring alternative sources online.
It's a self-correcting loop, but only as long as there is no market manipulation, such as massive pet industry subsidies or restrictive legislation that prevents new methods of generation from coming online to the grid.
I was a dead tree book snob when I got a 1st iteration Kindle for Christmas that I had to use (like an ugly, undersized reindeer sweater from your favorite aunt).
I love it, and still use it even though it tasks me weekly with requests for charging. It was Amazon, and Paypal, who got me comfortable with shopping on the web.
This year, I purchased some Christmas things from online Best Buy, of equal price to Amazon, because I don't want Amazon to be the last retail giant standing.
I would add, as others before me have postulated, that subsidized pricing sometimes works, but: Often, you have to float an unprofitable venture for an extended time, and only the best at attracting capitol can weather that storm even if the idea is a sound one. I think Musk and Bezos excel in this part of the building the business.
It's the new business model: as long as you can keep investment capitol coming in, you expand like wildfire in the hope that what you do eventually becomes profitable.
Uber's vehicles are provided and kept up by empl..., er, subcontractors, company recognition is approaching ubiquity, and the rider software is already in place. The largest expense now is lobbying to keep what they do legal... in a thousand different places.
Guns don't protect packages. People with guns protect packages. The assumptive problem is folks are not home when these items are being lifted.
Option 1A: If you have a yard, get a dog that barks and make it a point to introduce it to the delivery people when you are home. A vocal canine will dissuade most would be thieves, and there's one looking for a human right now at a pound near you.
This charger situation is more analogous to the guy who is busy doing something else and doesn't notice the light has turned green. He's in his rightful place in line, but his slow response causes everyone behind him to have to wait longer.
I've been that guy, so when I'm right behind that guy, I try to impart a bit of patience in empathy.
When I'm three cars back? Different story altogether. I'm testing the horn.

Alas, and even finally, there are some things beneath patent trolls.

Is that really easier than editing the inaccurate representation of letters in a word?

It is arguably true that this has always been the case, and that we are just now privileged to the information.

Box.com said it's a classic case of users accidentally oversharing.
Next time you feel trepidation about oversharing, remember, someone once said in a meeting, "Let's make a film with a tornado full of sharks."
Sounds like a really great market for vehicles that don't have internal combustion engines, unless the electricity is generated by burning coal.
I still remember much more of it than a movie I saw last year..
Great story: tharn, hrududu, Hazel, Bigwig, the General
The phrase "Banana Republic" comes from us screwing over their working class to keep Banana's cheap for Dole.
I know he appreciates that!

The system was reportedly engaged after sensing a collision.
The regulation was adopted to reduce the number of rear end collisions by trucks.
So, ... this system reduces the number of rear end collisions by slamming on the breaks after it hits something?
Yessir, unfortunately the biomatter sensor had been bypassed after multiple roe deer collisions.

Much of what you say is spot on.
I would add, as others before me have postulated, that subsidized pricing sometimes works, but: Often, you have to float an unprofitable venture for an extended time, and only the best at attracting capitol can weather that storm even if the idea is a sound one.

And if you recall your chemistry, alcohol is a solution.
