Russia undermining the US election? Come off it. Trump is doing his share, and the DNC already did their share. The majority of the population doesn't trust either candidate. That's not Russia's fault.
A Department of Defense official has backed the Rand Corporation think tank's claim that the Russian military could defeat NATO forces in the Baltics in 36 to 60 hours. The statement is the latest in a string of warnings that the Atlantic Alliance is too weak to mount a defense of the baltic states.
Try again. There are some colloquialisms, and some "franglais" (but no more than the "STOP" signs in Paris). A lot of the dubbing of English films into French is done in Quebec. If it's good enough for France, it's certainly not a "local creole."
The leaked speeches are, without a doubt, legit. It's so obvious she's squirming, what with her "maintaining a public position and a private (favoring the banks an 0.1%ers) position".
If Hillary doesn't know what her campaign chairman is up to, she's incompetent. If she doesn't have the guts to ask him whether they're legit or not, it's because she wants to maintain a semblance of deniability - which again, not asking Podesta if they're legit or not means she is either afraid of the answer or again incompetent.
Of course, there's still more to come. That may be why "desperate times call for desperate measures."
You couldn't possibly "go through and make sure they were all intact" because "diff" and "select and compare" is broken on every computer you have ever tried? BS.
No, I couldn't do it because I don't know how to do that. Don't be an asshole.
And she doesn't have the resources to hire someone who can do it for her? Or is the problem that, if she did that, the emails would be verified as real, and not give her even "implausible deniability" (and someone else who can then testify to the email contents under an immunity grant)?
(as an adherent to the Vienna Convention) the host country may not enter the premises of the mission without permission of the represented country, even to put out a fire.[11] International rules designate an attack on an embassy as an attack on the country it represents.[citation needed] The term "extraterritoriality" is often applied to diplomatic missions, but normally only in this broader sense.
As the host country may not enter the representing country's embassy without permission, embassies are sometimes used by refugees escaping from either the host country or a third country.
In accordance with Article 27.3 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR), properly designated diplomatic pouches “shall not be opened or detained.” Although inspection of a pouch by X-ray would not physically break the external seal of the shipment, such an action constitutes the modern-day electronic equivalent of “opening” a pouch. As a result, the United States does not search properly designated and handled diplomatic pouches, either physically or electronically (e.g., by X-ray) and considers it a serious breach of the clear obligations of the VCDR for another country to do so.
Just as likely that Hillary will have another "medical problem" and someone else will have to step in to the presidency. Neither the CIA nor the NSA want a hot war with Russia, and they have the ways and means to take care of it.
Clinton went out of her way to avoid denying they were real. That's like Sherlock Holmes "The Case of the Dog that Didn't Bark." If they weren't real, why didn't she say so, instead of saying "they might not even be legitimate"? After all, she sure as hell knows if they're legitimate - or is this another example of her brain shutting off for 3 months from that concussion so that (she claims) she can't remember any briefings about security procedures?
She's no more credible than Trump - and in the process, she's managed to drag down Barack Obama. How can you have a secretary of state who admitted she went around in a brain fog for 3 months and NOT NOTICE???
Is Barack Obama interfering with the election process by cutting off free speech that can be damaging to Clinton and the democrats? Sure can't blame that one on the Russians.
They want to act like taxis, let them meet the same standards. Speaking the majority language should be mandatory. How else are you going to communicate in a timely manner with police and emergency services if needed? Or with the passenger when they're trying to tell you to stop because they're about to throw up? Or when the map is wrong? Or that they've just got a phone call or text and need to change their destination or pick up something/someone on the way?
Same thing as in Quebec - if you can't speak French, you aren't allowed to work in any job that involves direct communication with the public. Not even as a receptionist or Walmart greeter. (not really an issue for most since in the large cities almost everyone speaks both of Canada's official languages, and the English speakers who can't speak French even though they've been living there their entire lives are willfully ignorant rednecks who will be dead in a few years as old age takes them away).
There's plenty of research done on that, both for print media and the net. "Ad blind" is a fact. Far more than 3 studies, going back to before the Intermet.
Drug companies spend about 60 BILLION per year on R&D.
MY drug costs are crazy because I have a rare condition and I'm shocked to have ANY drugs developed for me and mine. The small company that "robs" my peeps puts half a BILLION back into R&D.
There are several other companies lining up trying to make better drugs.
Socialism certainly isn't doing this. Otherwise it would be Finland doing all the work.
If it's that rare, then it's covered by the orphan drugs program. The company got PAID to develop it via direct government subsidies, So what's that about socialism again? Because the government paying industry to develop drugs certainly sounds socialist to me.
Then why are you commenting on what is predominantly a US site?
Fuck off, Canuck dyke.
All butt-hurt because you don't want to hear the truth about how the Affordable Care Act is the worst health-care plan in the western world, and that even Cuba has free health care for everyone?
The one that Trump just said has a "catastrophic" health care plan. What he fails to note is that many Canadians are lured to fake promises of cures by for-profit organizations. It's sad to see someone raise $50k - $100k to go down to the US, come back announcing that their cancer is cured, and then die of cancer. They could be hit with the same scam for a lot cheaper just by going to Mexico.
The average person can live without the internet, and their quality of life would probably improve. Overall, it's caused more harm than good. See Internet Dysphoria
For every dollar drug companies spend in research, development, and testing to meet FDA requirements, they spend $4 on marketing. That's why your drug costs are crazy, and why your national broadcasters are addicted to the money that comes from pimping some drug or other that is probably not much more effective (or even less effective) than the one you're already on.
"Affordable" in the Affordable Care Act is very much akin to "unlimited" in unlimited bandwidth in a mobile phone contract. It's not so much an adjective as it is a branding label.
Still. Every insurance plan has an out-of-pocket maximum and the law prevents life-time limits on benefits. While it's possible for deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums to be quite high, I'm dubious about the claim, "depleted his savings and insurance benefits" -- unless he's not good at managing his own money. To be fair, the summary did say this happened over 18 months, so there could be some cost build up due to his case exceeding a calendar year and the deductible and out-of-pocket fees being reset (I don't know if it works that way for a continuing treatment).
Universal single-payer health plans don't (for the most part) have deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.My first encounter with an out-of-pocket expense was last week - $5 for a DVD with a copy of my dental x-rays. First time in 60 years. I've literally spent months in hospitals, had a bunch of operations, dozens of treatments, and there's never been a co-pay or a deductible. The only time I ever saw even a copy of any bill was when Workman's Compensation sent me a copy of the bill they paid for one workplace accident tht required surgery - and that was strictly advisory - big notice saying "DO NOT PAY THIS!".
As for the universal drug plan, the maximum amount is $87.16. It's $0 for children under 18 (or 25 if they're attending classes), welfare recipients, and people receiving at least 94% of the old age guaranteed income supplement.
Your definition of "perception" is bogus. Start with a bad assumption, you end up with crap such as what you've written. And this is one reason why coders need to develop a wider perspective, so they don't continually spout off shit like this.
I can describe the sun without having a "deep" perception of it. Or where I live, without knowing who lives in each dwelling around me. I can describe the symptoms when I go see a doctor, again without having any understanding whatsoever of what's going on - I am certainly conveying to him enough information of my illness that he has the information he needs to make a diagnosis.
Too bad your "perception" doesn't extend very far in the real world. Try being blind for a while - neither a blind person nor their guide dog can tell the color of traffic lights. You can talk about them until you are blue in the face about red, amber, and green lights, how they work, what they mean, but you aren't transmitting anything useful - it's just NOISE, not data or information. Same as trying to use a laser to etch binary data on soup.

NATO doesn't want it either. Russia would defeat NATO in 2-1/2 days.
A Department of Defense official has backed the Rand Corporation think tank's claim that the Russian military could defeat NATO forces in the Baltics in 36 to 60 hours. The statement is the latest in a string of warnings that the Atlantic Alliance is too weak to mount a defense of the baltic states.

Do you remember the Americans hiding in the homes of 2 Canadian ambassadors in Iran?
Same as diplomatic pouches aren't searched - they can't even be x-rayed by the TSA or anyone else.
Inviolability of Diplomatic Pouches
In accordance with Article 27.3 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR), properly designated diplomatic pouches “shall not be opened or detained.” Although inspection of a pouch by X-ray would not physically break the external seal of the shipment, such an action constitutes the modern-day electronic equivalent of “opening” a pouch.

Still believe his line of bullshit?
Don't believe in free speech? Or are there two rules - one for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and one for the rest of the world?

Don't have a cell phone.
Then be ready for them to refuse entry. Even the homeless have phones now.
1. Bring a second, crappy phone.
2. Lock the crappy phone in the pouch.
3. PROFIT!
There's plenty of research done on that, both for print media and the net. "Ad blind" is a fact. Far more than 3 studies, going back to before the Intermet.
Fair enough. Steve Jobs was a victim of his own Reality Distortion Field.

The phonies won't be able to con people into paying millions, because the suckers that fall for these sorts of scams don't have millions.

Your "Affordable Care Act" is not affordable, same as your "Transportation Safety Administration" screeners are useless because you don't need protection from a family-sized tube of tooth paste - they catch that, but they miss 95% of weapons and wasting more than half a billion on machines that have a lower success rate than dogs.
It doesn't have to be this way. Thank both parties for being in the hip pocket of the insurance companies.
If it wasn't obvious to you, you're the perfect consume/sucker.
