Shooting someone is a possible crime. If there was an investigation by the FBI, the investigation would be to determine if and who committed the crime. Point being, a possible crime spawned the FBI. Here you said that:
this is was against State Department internal regulations, but not a criminal offense.
I disagree. They're investigating a possible crime.
I haven't ever used these e-readers, or whatever they're called, so I had no idea. If that's the case, then I don't understand why anyone would pay for said digital purchase(s).
Everyone in IT has a story like that to some degree. That's why there are people making a lot of cash making hardware that scans some part of your body to decide if you can have access or not. But even then, lazy people will find a way to be lazy.
I have no idea if Trump will do or even can do half of what he says, he might be full of crap...
Right, exactly. If anything, Trump's shown that simply getting up and saying everything that a lot of people want to hear, will get you right through the primary, and into the main show. We're all very tired of politics as usual. But once he's president (and a little vomit comes up when I say that), he can just sit back and make any excuse(s) and/or say nothing at all about all of the empty promises that got him elected.
There should be laws against lies to get elected (oh and thanks Obama for lying to us about keeping our current healthcare policy). But then again, looking at Clinton's history (really all political history), these political tards are above the law anyway, so it wouldn't matter. I'm one that feels that 'having a president' is itself an outdated concept, unless you look at the country as if it were a business.
The idea of anyone putting their life on the line due to orders from, and saluting either Clinton or Trump makes me very nervous.
If you're going to navel-gaze that deeply, then you don't "know" what anyone or anything will do, so you might as well stick your head up your ass, since you can't seem to recognize a person for who they are.
Don't take me as a Clinton fan, I'm not. I plan to vote for whoever else is on the ballot, or myself. I think that Clinton is a bullshitter, professional politician, paid by special interest groups. I think that Trump is one of the leaders of said special interest groups, and has in the past, paid for politicians.
One of the good things that I see in this election is that one of the people that used to sit back behind the scenes, "pulling the strings", if you will, of politicians, has finally figured that "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." Which, HOPEFULLY, means that there is trouble brewing behind the scenes, and they're running out of options. Also, we get to see the mentality that actually runs the show.
How would the phone have to be made thicker just to have a removable battery? The shitty phone that I use (sorta like the one found here) has a removable battery. It's not a hand-held computer/tracking-device, just a phone. It's as thin as any other smart "phone" out there.
I, for one, have always been using space, but only because I thought TAB moved to many spaces. After reading a few comments here, I learned that I can actually adjust the amount of spaces created by TAB. I could have probably already learned that by way of reading man pages....but I'm lazy!
I'm pretty sure, judging by the linked video, that it's about pressing a button 8 times, or pressing a button 1 time, and the reduced file size that results from using TAB.
Right, I understand your point, and agree. I was just pointing out that, if my bank cared about my $200, where my balance back then was anywhere between $300 and $700, then surely a client that has a balance above $40,000,000 would have some pull to get the bank to find out where it went and how to get it back.
Nope, I'm reading. And when you go to fly helicopters, but cannot purchase gas for said helicopters, go to the bank and find out that your helicopter gas money was taken by someone pretending to be you, then you fill out a form explaining to your bank that your card was used by someone that was not you, then the bank puts helicopter gas money back into your account, then you can go fly helicopters agian, you too will understand that you got your money back, and you won't give a shit who lost money, because woopie, helicopters are fucking awesome!
There was no recovery of your money. Someone ate the cost of the loss: either your bank or the merchant.
It sounds like you've never had money stolen from a bank account via a debit card, and I hope you never have to go through that. But I can tell you it's a pain in the ass. Due to that situation, where I did very much get my money back, I never use a debit card, only a credit card.
Will the day ever come when people take security seriously?
No, in the end, security is a pain in someone's ass. The more important it is that $person use security measures, the more $person feels that their time is to important for all the extra steps. I've seen this at every single place I've worked, and now I see it at every single client's site.
Besides, we've reached the stage with technology where it's extremely important to be 100% secure, and it's extremely important that the $government be able to bypass that security.
My thoughts exactly. I've been able to get my bank to refund as little as $200 before due to identity theft using my debit card, and that was when an item was purchased, so someone had to actually eat the charges. In this case, it seems like they see where the money went. Maybe since it has to do with international borders, it'll just take a little more time.

You're right, but unfortunately that logic doesn't apply to large corporations, I mean countries. Trucks may be used by ISIS, but it's the weapons/explosives that are causing all the problems. Even though we hear a lot about RPGs, and how easy they are to make, someone has to be selling them the explosives included. Someone's selling them guns and ammo.
I wonder how they're making these transactions, because surely it's not just one little truck delivering a small amount of.... oh wait, I see what you did there.

I disagree. They're investigating a possible crime.
Then why was the FBI investigating it?
This is totally about tags, and really nothing more. Learn what tags turn off advertisers, and tag accordingly.

You can take a book anywhere and read it until it's dark outside, and never need electricity.
You can cut a square out of the inside of the pages to make a hidden compartment.
You can use the pages as fuel for a fire.
You can set the book up on the floor at an angle to make a ramp for your son's cars.
You can use a book to look like you're sophisticated at a coffee shop, rather than look like you're on facebook.
You can underline, highlight, makes notes on a book.
But, you can carry around your entire library on a digital device.

Nah, then you'd have a turd-merger too, and each ass-owner would point the finger at the other. It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
You've gone past humor, over sarcasm, and through cynicism. You've gone to plaid. Yer gunna make space tracks.
But, why would we need a vehicle for "space travel", when we could just use project montauk, That's been explained in great detail.

Sorry for political rant.

Then goodbye Intel and AMD.

I'm just looking at the situation from the standpoint of my life. You're looking at it from the world-view. We're both correct in our reasoning.
But did you really have to sink to name-calling? I thought you were better than that.
