He did not present himself as one in any scenario where government has reasonable justification to restrict the usage of the title.
This is incorrect. He mailed a letter to the engineering licensing authority claiming to be an engineer and offered engineering advice to the licensing authority. That's enough to put them under their authority.
The Paris agreement is a 100% voluntary "we'll do our best" agreement. It's precisely BECAUSE the US participated in the drafting that the agreement is like that. Trump dropping out of the agreement just ensures the US won't be involved in the future at the expense of an agreement that costs NOTHING.
The Paris agreement is a promise to do our best to lower carbon emissions and no one but us gets to decide what our best is. There is nothing hostile or bad about this agreement unless you're an ideologue that likes to ignore reality. Not surprising given the current administration.
Absolutely, US soft power (such as signing this treaty, and TPP) gave the USA broad influence over how these treaties and international law work. As Trump bows to dictators, offends European leaders and guarantee's that American influence in the world will decline dramatically we will gain absolutely nothing and China will gain a great deal from our executive stupidity.
The first rule of Democracy is that you never trust the government when they say "Trust us".
I don't trust the government to use a power to seize and destroy private property without full disclosure of how, why and when it's occurring. I'm not going to sell my rights down the river because some jackass halfway around the world strapped a bomb to a UAV.
Your wish will never happen because Intel chips will still be the only CPU's allowed to use it. Intel's problem with Thunderbolt has always been that it won't license it on FRAND terms to all comers (including AMD), as a result even if it's cheaper it will be integrated into nothing. USB-3 license costs are pennies and there is no requirement on who you are to use it.
Thunderbolt has massive restrictions on WHO is allowed to use it, even if they drop the price to the same as USB they will never allow it to be used as broadly as USB. The result will remain the same, you'll be able to use it only with computers with Intel chips in them and peripherals strictly for that computer. Intel will never get Thunderbolt right because they will continue to try to use it as monopoly leverage.
Language is important. He didn't say you better tell the truth. He said you better not talk because I have tapes. That language counts as witness intimidation. And even if it doesn't he's still got the problems I listed. The very existence of tapes is a threat to him, he should fucking know that given what happened to Nixon because of tapes. Hint, it wasn't his tapes about the watergate break-in that cooked him (he didn't know anything about it), it was his taped discussions trying to cover it up along with all the other shit that was on the other tapes, which got revealed when he admitted to the tapes existing and then they became public record.
Would you want everything you've said in every private conversation to become public record? Because if the president does that, they are public record. Revealing the existence of any such recordings after you've been dumb enough to do it (BTW DC and Virginia are both TWO party locations so if he recorded without the other persons knowledge he also broke the local wiretapping law) is just about the stupidest thing you can do because those recordings are public record under the presidential records act.
Are you starting to see how dumb he was or you still going to play partisan and deny he's stepped in quicksand while he's sinking up to his neck.
If he doesn't have the tapes, Comey's Memo will be viewed by an court as an accurate record of events and he's guilty of obstructing justice.
If he has the tapes and they show the Comey memo to be true he's now provided absolute evidence and testimony against himself in a obstructing justice charge.
If he does have the tapes and even if they vindicate him and show Comey lied his tweet about the tapes is very likely an attempt to intimidate a witness in an active federal investigation under federal law. Either way the tapes are now official presidential record, he'll be required to preserve them and make them available to the public.
There is literally no winning hand, he's dealt himself into a corner with twitter that no matter what way you go he could be charged with a federal felony and even if he manages to dodge the felony he's now put himself in a position of admitting to recordings that are required by law to be archived and kept as public record and could contain god only knows what other evidence.
I'm not sure how they can even compare this to Fi. Fi is $20 a phone for all you can eat Phone and SMS and $10 a Gig for data flat rate with credit back for any unsed data. What Comcast is attempting to offer here is the same bullshit marked up service that ATT, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile are selling. It's not competitive and I predict it will be dead in 2 years.
The funniest thing about this is that Comey is old school FBI. The FBI trains their people to document every single conversation. They can't have a conversation in an active investigation without that conversation being documented in writing or they've broken department policy.
Comey was known around Washington for going even further, he was known to document conversations that weren't even related to investigations. Some of the accounts I've seen says that everyone that had been around Washington for more than a year knew he documented every single work related conversation and probably even wrote memos about private conversations. The man documented everything immediately after it happened in writing.
Now Trump thinks he's going to bully a guy with fake tapes when Comey is the guy that documents everything. I can't believe at all that his lawyer didn't warn him that speaking to the anyone at the FBI would be on record or that they didn't warn him specifically about Comey documenting every conversation before he goes and tries to interfere in an active investigation.
I mean seriously, Trump has to be a fucking moron to have that conversation with Comey and not think he wasn't going to document the shit out of everything that was said. And if he has been stupid enough to record conversations like Nixon that it's not going to come back and bite him in the ass.
I was laughing today about how humorous it is that we have a president that is this ignorant and moronic about how things work. It's only going to get worse for Trump and by the time it's all over he won't have a reputation and his name will be Shit.
Microsoft ignored the market. I remember Microsoft laughing at the Chromebook and making derogatory comments about it's capabilities. 5 Years later those chromebooks are the only computers in primary and secondary education.
The chromebook winning had far more to do with simplified administration and global accounts than it did to price of hardware. With a Google for School the student gets and account that's the same regardless of the computer they log into, with the chromebook the school gets a computer that's always up to date with the latest software and isn't abandonded after 2 years or that they have to pay a million bucks a year to keep up to date and pay 15 IT staff to manage. With chromebooks they need 1 IT guy to provision accounts and the hardware takes care of itself.
Cost played a role, but features played a bigger role.
These are the same type of reporters that hacked the voicemail of a missing girl and then deleted some of the saved voicemails in the hope she'd get more which convinced the police she was still alive and caused the investigation to be suspended for a couple weeks. British tabloids are the ones leading the charge into a world with no journalism, respect or privacy.
I have all kinds of direct internet connected PC's, they are not running windows and have adequate software firewall's running that protect them. I'm neither begging to be hacked nor doing anything stupid. I would be foolish to make blanket assumptions about things you have no experience with, your windows experience does not translate to my FreeBSD and Linux machines.
The first suicide bombing was by Hezbollah (Shia) against the US army Barracks in Lebanon.
There are plenty of terrorists wearing the Shia claim to authority, they might currently be outnumbered by the Sunni Wahabbi variety but your statement that Shia don't participate is full on bullshit.
I'll only cheer if you revoke that assholes asylum and send him back to his home country. Britain has provided homes to far to many of these jackoffs and they talk shit about the country the whole time they are there. They should be sent back to their home country straight away instead of living on the dole in the UK while supporting terrorism and policies that threaten the UK itself.
Probably better than the FBI strategy of using undercover people to talk morons into doing things they would never do nor are capable of doing without the FBI doing every single thing.
Your are so wrong it's not even funny. The intel ME is included in every single Intel chip produced since 2008. If you own an Intel computer that you haven't had since before Obama was president your computer is vulnerable. Period. There is no doubt about this and it's fully acknowledged and published in all the releases from Intel about this vulnerability. It's remotely executable and the code to do so is live in the hacker community.
The bombs are not powerful enough to kill people if they are in baggage compartment. They would damage a bunch of luggage and that's about it. They are hollowing out about 1/2 a battery which is only a few ounces of explosive. Even in a shaped charge that's only going to be destructive for the first foot or so.
It doesn't need to be full, it just needs enough explosives that if pressed against the hull and detonated that it would rip a hole in the fuselage. The information I saw said that they had figured out how to cut a chunk of the battery out and fill it full of some explosive that's been shaped into a shaped charge, set one of the keys or switchs to detonate it.
The laptop would turn on a function like normal and would explode with enough force to breach the fuselage if pressed against the wall before being detonated. This arrangement was viewed to be virtually undetectable without disassembling the laptop. Experts that had reviewed the plans they recovered believed this was not only possible but that the groups in question were actively building these bombs. The crucial weakness is that the bomb wouldn't be strong enough to breach the fuselage if it wasn't pressed against the wall, so all you need to do is ban laptops from the passenger compartment to make the bomb worthless.
Baloney. You've made a bunch of bullshit assertions without any backup. The FCC's network neutrality restrictions were VERY light handed. The basic default policy was no action unless a complaint was leveled and action would only be taken if the provider was discriminating against data sources, typically for economic reasons.
When we allow the last mile providers to put a toll on data you've requested the free internet is GONE. It is a direct abuse of monopoly and it's not something you can fix because these companies are natural monopolies. The only real solution is to regulate the monopoly to prevent the abuses it naturally leads to. This obsession of people like you that regulation can't solve these problems is frankly idiotic.
50 million households is far more than 15% of the American populace. Even if it was actually 50 million people that's still far more than 15% of the American populace (~300million).
The comparison in the article is absurd. ATT had a massive in ground copper network that would have required billions to replicate. Google has a bunch of Data centers and rented fiber. And upstart competitor can rent infrastructure and duplicate their network with almost no initial investment beyond the ongoing monthly rental charges.
ATT had the very essence of a natural monopoly with a massive last mile copper network. To duplicate Google you need nothing close to that.
IPO's are ALWAYS about cashing out the current ownership. No company seeking an IPO has done so to gain access to funding for growth since the 60's. And since around 2000 almost every single IPO was about giving the founders huge stacks of money so they can walk away before the company goes bankrupt.
Industry was already on the committee, by law they have to be, just like by law other groups are supposed to be represented as well. He's firing everyone that's NOT industry so industry is the only one on the committee and the only one with a voice. This is why everyone called Pruitt a Shill for industry, make no mistake he's getting paid for this, either now or later.
Because clean air and water should be something only the rich can afford.
Use already invented software when they can reinvent everything from scratch by a bunch of engineers right out of school? Do you even know who google is?

It's partisan to test someones claims that they are better at security?
