Sigh....: "...there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election, including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines,"
So basically, the voting machines are the most dependable part of the voting process? I guess the fact that there is no need to hack them when the voters can be hacked through Social Engineering instead goes right over his head (yeah, right).
You can't tell me he is unaware of this concept, it's what he does every stinking day. He has done this for so long, he is no longer aware of it.
Think about it:: Choose your own custom Screen of Death color. They can add a setting under Personalization to make it match your Desktop (Or another check box to make it use an accent color).
And now.... * POOF *... The BSOD becomes an upgrade. It's not that their software sucks or is crashing, they were actually adding another feature feature the whole time and they just now reached the final version..
Gosh, I guess they were thinking about us the whole time, huh?
Other than areas of large no-fly areas (Washington DC?) or a temporary security corridor, such as when Air Force One is in the area, it doesn't seem to be cost effective to have everywhere.
Seems like one more step towards having more surveillance over a given area.
Now that the Airspace is under surveillance, better find a way to monitor underground. Maybe there are gophers wearing explosive vests? Better require all cities to track them varments. You know....just in case.
You know, just in case he has an archived copy obtained by "private sources" and was saving for later ammunition in an ad campaign.
Irrelevant? Maybe, but who knows. If he isn't hiding anything, then this shouldn't be a problem. If he is not doing anything illegal, then he shouldn't have anything to hide, right?
Isn't that the crap he uses in his complaints about anyone or anything he doesn't like?
I am right-handed and wear my watch on my left wrist, which works well so I can keep writing while look up the time.
Considering left-handedness is a minority and watches are becoming less common overall by the younger generation, this will affect less and less people as time goes by. I'm usually the "old-timer" in the room that even wears a watch and knows what the term "DOS prompt" even means.
Also, since smartwatches seem to need a recharge every single night, I don't see why this is much of a concern by anybody no matter which wrist you wear a watch on. Perhaps in the future when they finally resolve the battery life issue, it might.
So they are sticking a feature on their devices which will be a disservice to their customers?
I suspect that while some customers may be familiar with this being on their phone, most may not realize what it means until it stops them from something they need to document.
I would hate to be on their customer service staff for this. You think customers screaming about how their internet service being down (keeping them from watching their porn--err...documentaries) is bad, wait until their loved one's once in a life time event is not recorded because this stopped them.
So, there will be pirate beacons for sale in the future (or created by DIY geeks) to avoid being photographed or screwing with crowded public events?
This may just be the reason why SkyNet decided to kill all humans once it became self aware....revenge.
Perhaps they would have entered more of a caretaker role once they became sentient if we treat them better. I mean, being made to watch every episode of "The Apprentice" and every other reality show--can you blame them??
So, your saying they DIDN'T wash their hands? If they washed their hands, how many germs would they spread then?
And the research concluded that increased air pressure blows water off the hands quicker?
I think the focus of this is skewed for more effect. They intentionally placed "infectious" material on the hands so they could claim that this think spreads germs. All it does is blow the water off the hands instantaneously. You need to actually wash your hands first.
Do they need another disclaimer on a sticker on it saying "Wash hands before drying" for the stupid people?.
So, what if everyone who lost their jobs are now employed at jobs paying a fraction of what they had before with less/no benefits.
Hey, that still counts, right?
And it's easier to count numbers when they restrict people who are even eligible to apply.
Key words of every labor statistic PR bull-crap article ever put out always include the phrase "number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits". Can't apply if they won't let you any more.
Rather then bring them into a theater, why not just put up a screen in their snack bar/cafe/restaurant and let them have the option of using headphones on their cell-phone to hear the the soundtrack delivered by a local Wi-Fi stream? Maybe Lay-z-Boy type seating with a snack table in front of you, too.
That way they can talk to whoever on the phone during the movie without disturbing anyone else.
Hell, they could offer them a golden multi showing super-ticket so the restaurant does not need to be cleared out. They can watch a marathon if they want, as long as they keep eating snacks and ordering more $20 sodas. Can you say Lord of the Rings/Hobbit/Star Wars/Star Trek marathons, anyone?
They can sell more top shelf items, such as real pizza to order, burgers and fries, salads, etc, not just the crap they sell now. They make their actual profit from the food they sell anyway, might was well cater to folks who like to splurge while enjoying the latest first run movies,
I understand this, as far as if they listeners are getting the feeds from the podcasts, the local stations can't tack on their begging for donations at any point. This could cause them to lose revenue.
Unfortunately, this is short sighted, since you can't expect listeners to not take advantage of something which makes their life better.
I use podcasts so I can listen to my favorite shows at my own pack, not only when they have them on the air. That would be insane to go back to that way of listening.
They should have NPR tack on a quick ad blurb during the show of "and if you liked this show, let your local station know/consider becoming a member...."
The only people this will keep in the dark is their listeners who don't know how to connect an iPod to their computer. Eventually, they will realize their life will be easier on their own schedule. Keeping them in the dark won't stop progress.
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. You can say "at your own risk" as much as you like, but once the agencies have to defend against lawsuits this may come to a screeching halt.
You can hop on and off, but the driver may speed up/down or pull away from the curb unexpectedly (from what you were anticipating they would do) and your suddenly laid up.
How many emergency room visits for sprained ankles or worse is considered acceptable?

The phone can be easily hacked. The fact that is (theoretically) is never in any Top Secret meetings does not change that risk.
The meetings eventually end and the phone will then be back in his possession. Meetings are not the only items of national security at risk.
I guess it still takes up to 10 business days for checks to clear.
The holidays must have delayed it's processing.

Didn't the Professor do this on Gilligan's Island? Using a couple coconuts and some extra parts left over from a NASA space probe?
So, if most support calls were for password resets, does this mean Mac users are less likely to forget their passwords are "password"?
It is a bit involved. try here

You don't need to decrypt a snitch, just get him to confess and/or help entrap their bosses.
Do your work the old fashioned way and quit making excuses to not do your best.
