    Except that it wasn't only "campaign rhetoric". Trump made statements after he become POTUS.

    It's not a question of what the EO references - it's what Trump's intention is, and he made that intention clear with his own words. The court is certainly going to consider that in their decision.

    It didn't require any wild imagination - the court used Trump's own words.

    The only thing that stands in Trump's way is that pesky first amendment, which prohibits the government establishment of religion. This was the basis for the Fourth Circuit's court stay against the ban. The notion that a President is allowed to use his power to limit immigration irrespective of his violation of other parts of the constitution in doing so is Bowling Green-type fairytale.

    That way your body will know it's in a different time zone and automatically adjust. For example, if you're traveling from Europe to NYC, eat a Pastrami on Rye sandwich right after you land.

  22. Re:Why processes instead of threads? on Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The article you linked compares Window's threads to Linux threads, both of which are implemented in a kernel-level thread implementation, so the document doesn't address the process vs thread question. As for security, separating browser sessions into processes vs threads doesn't achieve much - if a browser is compromised the persistence of that breach usually extends beyond one runtime session.

  23. Why processes instead of threads? on Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why are they using 4 separate processes to improve load times of multiple tabs/windows instead of just multiple threads?
