Name the Biology professor. And what are your qualifications to determine that he is incorrect for what he actually states?!
HIV certainly wouldn't "cause" AIDS if it isn't involved in the mechanisms that result in the deterioration of the immune system. Correlation is not causality.
I'm supposed to believe a Harvard degreed Medical Doctor with a specialization in Internal medicine for 25 years is a nutjob for expressing her "expert" opinion, because of a zero like you?
Those are potentially valid arguments to not vote Stein for PotUS, but that's not the argument posited by the OP, which is somehow she is inconceivably worse than Trump or Clinton (or Johnson).
"Libertarians believe you shouldn't go to prison for refusing to vaccinate your children."
You will not go to jail they just can not go to public school.
And that is pretty much the accepted legal standard throughout the country. Name one court case where the parents of an unvaccinated child was able to compel a school district to accept the child.
Only a shill would fail to realize that this one difference of opinion does not make a candidate unsuitable to be elected PotUS.
Let me guess: You one of those elect "Hillary for Queen". Yes, she's a bad liar, yes we'll invade Syria if she gets elected, yes, there's nothing "fishy" in trying to conceal your gov't communications from gov't law, so lets pretend the other three candidates are equally bad. Well, there's a good case to argue Trump would not be a good PotUS, but you're going to have to better than what you're doing to convince voters here that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are incompetent, evil degenerates.
Gary Johnson... Anti Vax.... AKA anti science crack pot.
Libertarians believe you shouldn't go to prison for refusing to vaccinate your children.
Seriously, is that all you got?
Jill Stien.... Anti Vax..... AKA anti science crack pot.
In 1973, Stein graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, where she studied psychology, sociology, and anthropology. She then attended Harvard Medical School and graduated in 1979. After graduating from Harvard Medical School, Stein practiced internal medicine for 25 years.
I think that's enough background to have reservations over vaccinations.
Your point is that all four are bad, but you've really dropped the ball on arguing that for those two instances.
Apparently, you don't know too much about designing/administering computer systems security.
Computer security is more than keeping a system secure from outside attacks. The two results you do not wish to occur in a "breach" is exposure of confidential information, and permanent data loss (sabotage). These forms of security breaches can occur from the "inside".
Another consideration in designing security in computer systems is workflow. There are a ton of ways to make a set of computers secure, but sometimes the solution would end up crippling the patient.
Hardening systems is only part of system security. Compartmentalizing access to workgroups is another consideration. There's no reason why a volunteer local office worker needs to access mail systems meant for confidential communications between senior managers. Laptops (& to a lesser extent tablets) are infamous vectors for intrusion, but they can also be managed by limiting their ability to access systems remotely (through VPNs) and credentialing. Finally, metadata monitoring of all computer traffic can be useful in tracking down a breach, as well as intrusion detection systems. Finally, this doesn't mean much if you can't hire enough competent IT staff to manage the entire operation (Which also requires vetting).
3. Insert fictional defense method here which will never work in reality, because the PHBs always need a fall guy they can blame for their own security nightmares they created by ignoring advice.
The reality is that most PHBs do operate on a nominal amount of common sense. If you're the security architect, and the PHB doesn't realize they are subordinate to every protocol, then that's the signal to find a new employer. Doesn't help much if you want to work for the Democrat nominee for PotUS.
I don't remember the exact figures, but above ground wiring is somewhere around 5-6x cheaper on average (and probably more in dense areas.)
Above ground wiring is cheaper, when its electrical wires. That's because moving current to a block of homes generates a lot of heat, which has problems radiating out when its buried underground. Fiber may have incurred costs which makes it more expensive installed underground, but its only going to be half cheaper going above ground, if that.
1) Windows 7 will be supported to 2020. I think they'll stop issuing security updates in 2018.
2) You won't be buying PCs with OSes in 2020. Consumers will be using cloud computing by then, similar to the chromebook. Standalone computing will be charged at a premium, and seem archaic. Perhaps then, linux will become the predominant computing desktop.
Its a purely statistical equation result (the math isn't distorted by rounding to reflect actual vote). It means the range of error is such that there 0.7% chance resulting in one electoral vote.
The US Government is so fucked up now, not being able to fund/run important programs, not managing the banking industry, and throwing away money on the military, I don't see any point in bitching about how the US has dropped the ball with space programs.
It would take Baby Bush to be that idiot and leave manned flight to the Russians.
To be fair to Shrub, it became hideously difficult for Congress to fund rational gov't programs. The Russians aren't enemies, and in this case, a really cheap case of outsourcing an outdated technology. Be honest. What manned space flight? Its only a couple of launches a year, and its below the Earth's Van Allen belts. Hardly worth continuing to blow billions of dollars per year.
Maybe Obama is also an idiot for not trying to revive a gutted NASA while the capability was still there,
No, in this case, you would be the idiot. The best thing the US gov't could do is get NASA out of the way, and support private endeavors to commercialize space. NASA's only utility is robotic exploration, and hugely expensive human research programs that the private sector would not touch. We're (probably) not going back to the Earth or Mars with this US Congress, so cut the Obama shit, and lay blame where it really belongs. (The important point being that NASA doesn't have a "capability" for Apollo style manned space programs anymore.)
No, they can't. It involves them going outside their mindset of their business model. They have a lot of spare cash now, but they would have to plow it into expensive bets, which they don't appear to be doing. Computing is going cloud, and they're barely interested in ramping up their iCloud capabilities. Not that it would matter, unless Apple found a way to access all that data being collected by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. . Then they would have to spend lots of money to hire actual geniuses to process and research that data in a way that would allow them to leapfrog current applications of computing.
Their problem is that their highest value as a corporation is to maintain revenue and profit margins. They don't have the leadership (or shareholders) willing to jeopardize their current model in order to create new markets. Steve Jobs was the kind of CEO who could do that sort of thing, but not his replacement team. Apple is led by John Sculleys right now.
Their model involves creating a monopoly (or branding) of their intellectual property using trademarked hardware to secure the monopoly. What happens when the phone and the Macbook go the way of the iPod? Yeah, they're plowing money into a self-driving car, but lets face it, even if successful, they're not going to maintain their computing environment when no one wants to buy their products to type in queries and when it becomes "unprofitable" to compete with smartphones linked with cloud computing features. Microsoft has more of a future in the computing industry than Apple.

I'd say "sweet", but its Windows 7.
In that case, no, but its a bit difficult to believe that was the case.
It seems to be fiscally wanton to spend money on 90% of features you'll never use, just to play games on a perfectly good "home premium" edition.
Why would you need Windows 7 Ultimate to play computer games?

Hey, we're getting Mexico to pay for the wall. Its still a bargain. /s
Don'tcha just feel good knowing how well Hillary will be keeping the nation secure when you cast that ballot?

The most expensive neighborhoods in the US. Yup, North Shore Long Island. I'm sure its the same in Connecticut, and many other northeastern regions.

Yes, I know they lost some expensive cargo,
Didn't matter. The payload was either already insured, or not worth insuring.
It would take Baby Bush to be that idiot and leave manned flight to the Russians.

Mr. Meatbag would have been long dead from radiation sickness, given current technology.
The Republicans certainly used the hostage crisis to campaign against Carter, but they didn't really do anything special to get the hostages released.
Other than sell weapon parts, probably violate the Logan Act, and lay the seeds for the IranContra scandal.
No, they can't. It involves them going outside their mindset of their business model.

Cloud storage doesn't make your data safer,
It does make your data safer, when you use it as offsite backup, as part of a complete backup protocol.
Doesn't matter. In the court of public opinion, you lose when you stay silent.
Apparently, Mike Pence does not grasp that even too much dihydrogen monoxide can be deadly.
I look at OneDrive (or Google) more like a redundant backup system for access convenience, after I've made redundant physical backups.
