We expanded NATO to Russia's doorstep, and are now rotating troops through the Baltic countries.
NATO has been at Russia's doorstep since the end of the Cold War, it's entire purpose is to help the countries bordering Russia fend off attack/invasion from Russia.
Besides, didn't HRC reset/over-whelm Russian relations? I hear her staff "worked really hard on it."
What? Several black churches were burned to the ground and N** sprayed painted everywhere. The KKK's brand of racism is alive and well.
You know, it's quite a coincidence that these attacks only occur during Presidential elections and only when Democrats are having a hard time 'motivating' black voters tiger to the polls and vote...
We can only hope the checks and balances in the Constitution work in the people's favor over the next 4 years,
What checks and balances? Haven't you heard all the president needs is a pen and a phone, and he's free to act anyway he likes if Congress obstructs his will...
These secret executive powers were discovered by President Obama, and you Democrats all laughed when the Republicans pointed out it was a bad idea...
No one cares any more, just like no one cared that Obama was black. Obama never brought it up either - he never played the race card. It didn't matter.
Obama DID mention it, he kept talking about imaginary children asking their parents Obama didn't look like the Presidents on the money...
(Partly. Where this technique failed was in budget control: Reagan financed his presidency by a huge rise in deficit spending, despite promising in the campaign that he would balance the budget. Budget, apparently, is one thing where you can't just give the details over to others and tell then "spend what you need.")
Reagan signed bills that increase federal spending, but remember every spending bill increased the national debt limit by exactly the amount needed to fund the bill.
You're freaking out based on things he never talked about... Aside from massive investments in failed alternative energy companies (Solyndra, etc.) and reports that the told NASA a big part of their mission was to make arabs feel good about their historical contributions to science, what did a President Obama do to 'put science back in it's rightful place'?
Oh wait, he reversed a Bush admin ban on federal funding of fetal stem cell research - that explains all the great advances in stem cell research since he took office...
Concerned over the spread of fake news on the social networking giant, US President Barack Obama has criticized Facebook, saying fake stories on social networks are spreading lies this election.
He's upset because in previous election our political leaders were the ones spreading lies (for example Harry Reid and his claim about Romney not paying taxes for 10 years), but now the voters are doing it themselves, and it's less 'manageable'...
Among the faces sent to the FAX in Hillary's SCIF were copies of the President's daily security briefing which is top secret... you know, the briefings from CIA, NSA about threats we face...
It doesn't matter - it is code written and shared to save effort on federal projects.
By launching this site the White House is hoping to improve public access to the government's software and encourage the reuse of software across government agencies.
since none of the emails would be admissible. They were almost certainly obtained under a warrant to search for emails related to the sexting case.
Tell that to the judge that issued the warrant that allowed the FBI to search Huma's emails on the laptop...
The emails were found while investigating an unrelated crime. Once the Huma emails were found, metadata analysis was performed to establish there were work emails (state.gov) in the archive, that evidence was presented to a judge, and the emails are being reviewed by federal agents as I write this.
The key assumption you made was that the agents were looking for these emails, they were not - they stumbled across this while searching through Weiner's emails. Huma testified she turned over every device, every email and retained nothing. She may have forgotten about this laptop, but her statement under penalty of perjury is still incorrect.
Personally I think she set out to access her email on the laptop years ago and simply forgot that the laptop was pulling down copies of her emails everytime the laptop was online.
Once you are in, it's easier to remain undetected by having the hacked device reach out to you, than you trying to reach in past firewalls and other security.
Understood, but you've missed my point.
We have a Russian server and a trump server.
The traffic discussed in the slashdot article is DNS lookups by Russian server of Trump server.
The Trump server has no reason to look up it's own DNS record.
The Russian server is the one originating the traffic.
Or are you saying that Trump hacked into the Russian server, and that it was Trump's malware on the Russian server that kept looking up Trump's server DNS record?
If they know that a server is allegedly communicating with Russia
What? The Russian server is communicating with the Trump server, not the reverse - the DNS lookup records are for the destination, not the source, right?
It had a history of sending mass emails on behalf of Trump-branded properties and products. Researchers were ultimately convinced that the server indeed belonged to Trump. But now this capacious server handled a strangely small load of traffic, such a small load that it would be hard for a company to justify the expense and trouble it would take to maintain it. That wasn't the only oddity. When the researchers pinged the server, they received error messages.
Wow.
These 'computer scientists' obviously have no real-world IT experience:
- A once busy server now nearly idle... this phenomenon is called 'orphan servers' and is quite common, especially in non IT-centric organizations, and was a major marketing pitch for sever virtualization a few years ago.
- the level of activity so low it barely justifies the expense/effort to maintain it - makes the key assumption that it IS being maintained, as opposed to simply being left on-line.
- their inability to successfully 'ping' a server is either a sign that the server is tightly 'locked up' and only allows 'known' traffic, OR it is evidence of a poorly-maintained orphan server (see above).
Or did you mean the Uber and Lyft cab company drivers don't want to go pick up a ride in exchange for money?
"Or did you mean the Uber and Lyft cab company drivers don't want to go anywhere in the city at anytime of the day or night to pick up a ride in exchange for money?"
Perceived personal safety is a consideration for most drivers...
"It's Harder To Get an Uber or Lyft If You Have a Black-sounding Name, Study Says."
There are many blacks that have 'white-sounding' names like, say, Danny Glover or James (Earl) Jones or Sam(uel) Jackson - all of which are famous black actors - who would fall in the well-served 'white-sounding name' category of this study.
'Black sounding names'?
As for the Person of Color v. White people wait and cancellation time - was any consideration made for the neighborhoods and the times of day the rides were requested?
Since Amazon opened their platform to third parties, Amazon is almost certainly providing "material assistance" (or whatever the proper legal phrase is) to those sellers. Without Amazon, it is far less likely buyers would've had access to that seller.
By that criteria, can't we also hold UPS, Visa, and her internet provider responsible? Without the means they provided (logistics, payment, access to seller respectively) this buyer wouldn't have 'access' to the seller or the means to complete the transaction?
So which one is better for the school's needs: Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1 or Win 10? You get ONE CHANCE because of the cost of trying any of them.
Said the IT expert that never priced educational software for schools...
Through educational assurance, every desktop/laptop can be outfitted with any currently supported version of Windows OS and Microsoft office, along with a raft of other included software and client licenses for less than $35/yr.
Schools do not run 'home' version of Windows (as they can't be managed centrally by a Windows Server via group policies), and they do not buy $100+ OS installs or $250 Office licenses for their computers. They pay less than $3/month and get immediate access to the latest software.
The average school budget in the US is between $10000 and $20000 per student-year. An adequate computer shouldn't cost over $500 and most of the software needed is available in "close-enough" form as freeware.
Wow, who knew solving education problems could be so easy?
Ok, play this out in your head - your neighborhood elementary school with 600 students evenly distributed in grades K-5 get $500 laptops. Let's for the sake of argument say that we only give laptops starting in 1st grade. Great, your local school goes out and finds a quarter million dollars and buys 500 $500 laptops.
Who integrates them into the curricullum?
Who researches and finds the 'almost as good as' freeware to use in class?
Who trains the teacher to use the freeware?
Where does the classroom time come from to teach children how to use the freeware?
Who rolls out a wi-fi network sufficient to handle 500 student laptops at a time?
Who funds the internet connection to allow all 500 laptops to stream YouTube videos at the same time because it's the day before winter break and the teachers don't feel Ike teaching?
Who maintains the laptops when there's a problem?
Who buys and finds loaner laptops when a child has a problem with their laptop?
What happens in three years when the laptops become too physically damaged?
I guess in your mind the parents (most of which can't be bothered to meet their child's teachers on back to school night) will just all collectively take up the slack, wire the WiFi access points, and take up whatever task is needed to make this work.
The price of the actual hardware is not the biggest expense, it is the on-going, day-to-day expenses that cost real money.
BTW, if you hand a 3rd grader a $500 laptop, have them use it every day for school, how long do you think it will last?
Every three years the district will be replacing those $500 laptops, unless the kids get clumsy and start dropping them.

Will climate activists blame the drought on global warming and try to argue that we should have more frequent/severe tornadoes?

Maybe, in hindsight, Democrats should have ran a few more ads about ideas and vision, rather than attacking her opponent?
Maybe, in hindsight, Democrats should have run a candidate that could campaign 7 days a week, not a 4 on, 3 off schedule?
Maybe, in hindsight, Democrats should have run a candidate that held fewer fund-raisers and more in-person rallies?
Maybe, in hindsight, Democrats should have run a candidate that wouldn't go 9 months (the entire primary period) without a single press conference?
Hard to argue with such a well thought-out argument...
