The discussion is irrelevant. Totally irrelevant. When it costs billions to run a campaign, it's money that talks, discussion is just bs, and we all know that bs walks when money talks.
If you believe this is reversible short of breaking up the US, you are incredibly naive.
The USA set the precedent in the 18th century. And if two wolves are dividing up the sheep, it's not like either one of them gives a sh*t what the sheep say, since they aren't part to the non-aggression pact. Same as the US claim under the Monroe doctrine to being in charge of the western hemisphere.
Stop with rewriting history. Russia and Hitler had a non-aggression pact, not an alliance. The pact included dividing up Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Romania between the two.
Same as the US Monroe Doctrine back in the 1800s claimed political dominance of the Americas to be US's right. This was seen by the whole "banana republic" US corporatism favorable to US business at the expense of central and south america.
The polls had him beating Trump by 20%, so I don't know where you got the "unelectable" from. Trump wanted Clinton to be the candidate, same as Clinton wanted Trump to be the candidate.
Flash is not for textual information. And for what it was for, if you kept it out of the browser and off the internet, it was easy to make secure, even on internal intranets. So what's your problem again? Oh, right, you want to run everything in a browser.
So setting the world up for the financial crisis made him a good president? Wow, you must have really been cumming in your pants over any of the presidential candidates except Sanders.
"Hard to infer tone?" That's a solved problem - it's called the telephone. Every smart phone comes with one. The solution is right literally under your nose.
Are you sick? See those image ads? And the javascript and css all from different servers? All the trackers? Why do you think pages render so much faster with adblock? Quit making up shit, you're part of the problem. Or better yet, go watch some more videos of people playing games or whatever.
In other words, you were doing it wrong. HTML was NOT supposed to be about layout or presentation. That was supposed to be entirely left to the client side. It wasn't only to be html to be rendered in a specific way by a web browser. You were supposed to be able to make your own decisions of how it was to be rendered on your end - this way, everything would have a consistent look and feel that was good for the end user. A person with low vision would use software that rendered it differently, for example. It's people wanting shit like you wanted that fucked it up. You should have just stuck to posting links to pdfs if you wanted that much control over look.
So exposing US government lies and corruption is not in the interest of US citizens? You really are a good corporate state prole, komerade Amerikan citizen.
I've noticed something over the past 70 or so years: What's good for Russia is not good for us. I don't feel any differently after this report.
And what's good for GM or Kellogs Corn Flakes or Pepsi or Wells Fargo isn't good for you either. So what's the point?
BTW - the Russians kept Hitler occupied on the Eastern Front while the US sat on its ass for another 6 months, and there is every reason to believe they would have continued to do so if Japan hadn't pulled a Pearl Harbor ambush.
Counted any way you want, the majority of voters voted for someone other than Clinton. That's a fact. Next time, don't rig the nomination process, instead of trying to blame anyone and everyone else. The rest of the world thinks you're stupid trying to play the blame game - especially given the US history of interfering in elections of other countries.
No, Clinton failed to reach 50% of the popular vote. Stop lying - it's not that hard to find. The US did NOT prefer Clinton, not even by the slimmest of margins. That they didn't prefer Trump either is obvious, and if Clinton and the DNC hadn't pissed off voters, Bernie Sanders would be president-elect. Put the blame squarely where it belongs for the Trump victory - it wasn't Putin, it was Clinton and Co trying to arrange a coronation, and all their useful idiots.
Clinton an excellent president? You mean the DINO (Democrat In Name Only) who dismantled the New Deal protections (see Glass-Steagall) that could have prevented the financial meltdown? What f*ing planet are you living on?
Or the same president who was too chickenshit to allow gay marriage, instead passing the unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act? The same guy who claimed he didn't inhale (what was he smoking to even think anyone would believe that?). And let's not forget Don't Ask Don't Tell.
The original web was just fine with no javascript, no css, and no "let's try to make html into a page layout language and let's turn the web browser from an html document viewer into an application platform."
Javascript is a mistake, same as CSS. Just look around, you'll see how bad things have gotten if you take off the rose-colored glasses.
Text messages have no problem with usability, even though they're limited to plain text and the occasional image. Sure a heck of a lot better than twitter.
Forums such as slashdot could easily be replaced by bringing back usenet. Threading discussions were around long before the web. So were text-only BBSes that were actually more secure than anything you'll see nowadays on the web. 99% of the web today is shit - and that's if you're being optimistic.
He says Google is working on making more services adapt to slow internet.
Ad-free solves 90%+ of the bandwidth problem for many uses. And killing off the financial viability of youtube and facebook is a great idea. I'd be happy to pay $10 a month for 1 gig of ad-free, graphics-free, css and javascript free internet.
I was able to easily configure firefox, eclipse, and jedit to use monospace fonts with small-caps,
Wait, you mean you use small capitals instead of lowercase? That's snazzy for book titles and letterhead, but don't you find that the change in word shapes interferes with pattern recognition that permits line-at-a-time reading?
Wrong. Pattern recognition is improved, since you no longer have to distinquish between a lowercase ell and the number 1, a lowercase r + n and a lowercase m, It also means that every uppercase letter is higher than any lowercase letter, and that there are no descenders. Dyslexics will also appreciate not having as much of a problem with lowercase b and d, for example.
Kerning is a "feature" that originally was used to save $$$. Letters that took up less horizontal space cost less to typecast. They also took up less space on paper, so that meant more words per page. Both were money issues. Today, neither one is valid for digital presentation. And when your eyes get older, you'll hate that people are still trying to make stuff look "just like print", with all its faults.

Nice fantasy you've got going there. The majority of people polled were neither Dem nor Rep, and they supported Sanders over Trump.

"Hard to infer tone?" That's a solved problem - it's called the telephone. Every smart phone comes with one. The solution is right literally under your nose.
So why can't someone just build a web browser that renders only the most basic html, no javascript or css or even images, and be done with it?
Are you sick? See those image ads? And the javascript and css all from different servers? All the trackers? Why do you think pages render so much faster with adblock? Quit making up shit, you're part of the problem. Or better yet, go watch some more videos of people playing games or whatever.
And yet your reply is in plain, ordinary text. Proves my point.
txt:// FTW. Any user agent can handle it as they wish, and people can specify their own transforms.

Nonsense - plain html with no layout is far smaller.

How is this trolling?
Clinton didn't win even 50% of the vote. The majority of voters voted ABC - anybody but Clinton.

I would say it is a /. myth :D
The New York Times disagrees with you. So does businessinsider. And bloomberg. The Chinese control bitcoin, even in Tibet.

It's not all that's important - but it's definitely a factor - and LCDs, even IPS, are still second-class.
