There was some organized effort on the part of our eastern brethren to affect the election.
There might have been 2 or 3 drunk teenagers "Hey lets screw with Hillary!"
My take is it is all imaginary and blown out of proportion comments relating to the Donald's joke that the Russkies might be able to supply the missing 30,000 emails.
The Left wing Libtard Media misquoted and twisted this joke to fit their own agenda and ran with it, then others played off that to make their own fraudulent claims. The more it gets repeated, the more "relevance" it seems to gain. And thus the repeated lie becomes truth.....
This and other fornications of the news has led me to not listen to any of it, because it keeps blowing the needle off my BS detector!
"I'd trust Apple w/my money more than any bank on this planet..."
Wow! The KoolAid must be kickin in!
Why is my Apple browser spending so much time on my network connection to the point of slowing down my machine? I'm pretty sure Apple is trying to climb as far up my butt as I will tolerate. Using Itunes as an additional example, my conclusion is Trust Apple? no fuckin way! I'll bet that BS over refusing to back door the evil Terrorist's phone was all hype to cover up the co-operation because it would ruin their image. I'm not buying it. Google either, I think they forgot the "do no evil" pledge. Their evil eye is tainted.... I blame Google for taking us down this path, they went over and beyond Apple and Apple is rushing to catch up and cash in.
Banks charge those fees because they control the industry, it would cost us a lot more if the fee schedule was not proscribed by law.
Now because Apple wants their cut of the action banks are scrambling to protect their gravy train. The banks want to make sure anything Apple gets is on top of what they charge. They do not want to pay apple out of their share.
This consumer does not want my phone (oh wait! It's not even my friggin phone) handling any financial transactions.
So especially because it is not my phone I am not going to give it access to my financial anything.
That is what credit cards are for.......
It should be my phone I paid all the taxes on it, I pay for the service it runs on, but it's not my phone. I cant even get rid of the stupid high volume nanny, I damn sure am not going to give it access to my financials.
Apple is beating banks to the same fees they charge merchants down the food chain.
The banks like their position calling the shots taking little risk and collecting huge fees, now they are a little whiney because Apple is horning in on their corn!
We need more legislation to protect the banks interests and keep the bad apple from raising the stakes and costing consumers more in fees.....
The issue is service providers wanting to separately monetize something that is currently part of a package. This is just a strategy to increase profits from something they already provide.
I am not paying for partial access to the internet.
I thought is was bad enough when service providers quit hosting newsgroup servers.
Service providers expected profits to go through the roof with the expected increased volume of subscribers, the short sighted bean counters predictions of ginormous profits fell short as usual when demand for bandwidth outpaced the volume of new subscribers, rendering that 20 year old equipment obsolete.
So instead of going after the cause of the high band width usage they are going after the end user because it is easier and more profitable to extract a little from a lot of subscribers than it is to bill the Facebooks and Youtubes of the internet. Then while they are leaching all they can from the subscribers they will double dip by putting the squeeze on big traffic sites to pay up. More $ for less product, its the Corporate way "New and Improved".

Or you will ride a bicycle to the closest public transportation.
Because hiring a car will be Uber expensive!
The state does not care about this because the contract labor makes no unemployment or disability claims.
Insurance companies also probably double their rates if you are using a vehicle they insure for business purposes.
A very capitalist idea,
to use contract labor (toilet paper) to develop a business.
Then eliminate the contract labor
Profit!
Owning a fleet of taxis is not the same as you might think, as that taxi is leased to a driver for his shift.
They are double dipping against the driver who is also not an employee but a "self employed" entity
This is Uber AND Taxi services.
Race baiting, discrimination baiting, and any other form of political masturbating has no place on this site.
This never would have happened under the original ownership, and it makes me sick to see it here.
I have a huge fuck you right here for the person that submitted this article and more so for the person that approved it.
I was not happy when this site was sold off, I am saddened to see it decline to be a tool for political hacks.
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Is it time for the Electoral College to reflect the popular vote?"
No then we would have to change the name of the USA to Portland!
And if it was blocked where would slashdot get it's news feeds?
Will be more difficult than stopping spam.
Any solution will result in litigation with claims of discrimination or rights voilatiions

being ashamed of your code is completely different thing,
than being misled to write code for something unethical.
But the other side of the coin is there had to be enough clues to make you aware there was something fishy.
Are/were you desperate? Or are your blinders that big?
So Yes you should be ashamed.....
A Business man or a Crooked liar
It's not a popularity contest, it about which will best serve my interests.
A write in vote may make you feel better but is still a wasted vote (without some kind of organized momentum).
So the best candidate won.
I wonder how much of that money Hillary will have to give back.
I wonder if the Donald will prosecute her.
I wonder if the Clinton foundation will have Donald killed.
Don't sugar coat it!
Tell us how you really feel.

There all fixed, next injustice please.
What causes the DNA damage,
The tobacco,
or
The compounds added to the tobacco to bind the user to a brand?
When I bought smokes I thought I was buying tobacco, but it seems there was a little more.....

the Army Corp of Engineers not maintaining the dykes????
If the polls dont require voter ID....
Then they get a promotion as heroes for prosecuiting those who took advantage of the mismanagment of my money.
Seems like they are prosecuiting the wrong party.
The ones who mis managed my money are at fault.
The movie never even made it on my radar.
Unbelievable, actually not really and even less surprising.
How much of my money will they spend to get my money back?
the looting of Linkedin begins
Firefox routinely crashes on my OSx so much so I have abandoned it.
