It seems clear to me why MS decided that only Win10 would support Intel's new Kaby Lake processors, and the Zen line from AMD. They are betting that they can overcome resistance to Win10 by limiting the choices you have for running windows applications on new hardware.
Then they'll wonder why Chrome devices are gaining in popularity.
There are a lot of evil things about Trump, but most of them don't need to be leaked because they're already public knowledge. He just lies about them with absolute conviction and for some reason, people believe him.
It is like the difference in the lies and deception told by Marketing, compared to the lies and deception of the Mafia.
Hillary keeps being accused of corruption, but even in the wildest fantasies of the Republican opposition, they've never had a damn thing that she could actually be *charged* with, because she's just doing the same things politicians have done since the dawn of time. They're just mad because she does them far, far better than they do.
You're right about this. The Dems have a long and proud tradition of covering for their own, especially the Clintons, in a tradition that is live and well as recently demonstrated by the vote not to find Brian Pagliano in contempt of congress. It was a great way to say Fuck You to the R's and the non-gullible American public, and to remind us that Clintons are untouchable. Without this kind of support, the mistakes Clintons made in the past would have cost them dearly, and not just a bit of reputation. There is also the matter of the incredible luck that people like Vince Foster and Ron Brown wound up dead before they could provide damning testimony in court, but that is just a niggling little detail.
Is she a manipulative person with her own agenda that will steamroll her opposition? Absolutely. But to many of us, she's *our* kind of steamroller.
Steamroller, indeed: fake online commentors (Correct the Record), fake protestors (Democracy Partners), fake news aggregators (Facebook and Google), fake journalism (CNN, Washington Post), fake primaries, fake investigations, fake outrage. Such a marvelous machine for flattening anything that gets in the way, like truth or intellectual honesty, because the ends will always justify the means as long as your team wins. Too many partisans and too few patriots is why we ended up with the choice we have this cycle, in a reverse-meritocracy where only the most skillful liar and underhanded manipulator has any chance at being given the reigns of power. The cycle will then just repeat itself and the status quo will go on, because there will never be a shortage of useful idiots.
Exactly. Can you imagine how difficult it would make it for news organizations to have a legal obligation to present the facts and portray stories accurately? They wouldn't be able to cover themselves with the 'its just entertainment' excuse, when they pull off stunts like editing 911 audio tape in order to make someone appear racist.
If anything we need more 'right wing hack jobs' as you put it, to uncover and expose more of the lies like the one used to blame the cause of Benghazi on a youtube video and pin it on some poor patsy, that in turn led to the discovery of the secretary of state storing SAP level top information on private servers and being proved a complete liar, and the DOJ and FBI being DNC pawns rather than being committed to the public's interest.
We definitely need another 'right wing hack job' to uncover the extent of the role that Bob Creamer had in the conspiracy to commit violence at political rallies, and why exactly he was such a regular visitor to the white house, and who he was taking his marching orders from. We need to know the extent at how the DNC provoked the riots in Chicago, as well as the rioting in places like Ferguson via their BLM attack dogs, and the campaign to stir up racial tension to the point where innocent police officers are being gunned down and ambushed and killed. Furthermore, we need another 'right wing hack job' to uncover the extent that the DNC violated campaign finance laws, as shown by the DNC leaks, to funnel money directly to Clinton's campaign.
Why? Because as seen by how not one single Congressional Democrat voted to find Brian Pagliano in contempt of congress, for being a no show to a congressional summons, it is clear they have no interests whatsoever in policing their own. People wonder why there had to be half a dozen congressional inquiries into Benghazi to get anywhere at all, well, that's why, because the partisan hacks are on both sides, including the media, leaving those of us with an interest in the truth to have to fend for ourselves.
Amen to that. It must pain you to step outside the Beacon Of Light that is the Huffington Post comment section to hear such blasphemy. These poor fools don't even realize that they are Born Sinners! If only they could learn the benefit of self flaggelation to cast off their White Male Priviledge, they could find salvation in our Holy Truth, and become fellow warriors for social justice.
When the means justifies the ends, there is every reason to be suspicious of election fraud. We've already seen the DNC conspire against Sanders in favor of Clinton, so I can only imagine that nothing is off the table as far as Trump is concerned. It seems highly likely in the wake of emailgate that the FBI or the DOJ would just look the other way.
You have to consider who controls the media companies, and that they benefit from the status quo and not journalistic integrity. Now factor in who is (and was) running as the anti-establishment candidate, it seems to me that it isn't just a matter of left-leaning ideology.
For example, look at the treatment Sanders received by the media. Since we're talking about the Washington post, here is an example where they ran 16 negative stories on Sanders in one hour. I can't imagine anyone more leftist than Sanders, but I can imagine that you can't have someone in a position of power that could threaten treaties like the TPP being made law, and possibly set back the consolidation of power of the ultra wealthy by eight years. So Sanders was smeared in the press, and now the hyperbolic anti-Trump attacks have reached a fever pitch.
They're ringing the bell because it seems as if a good portion of the public act just like Pavlovian dogs.
Same with Google News. Lately, only Trump bashing or Clinton praising editorials dominate the top stories. But I'm sure it is just a coincidence, after all, Google says trust them and that they are not using their position as a major news aggregator to influence public opinion.
A lot of this was discussed during the last house judiciary hearing featuring Director Comey where he channeled Nixon with his 'don't call us weasels' line. I think for anyone interested in actually getting the facts on this case, the entire three hour session is definitely worth watching.
During that hearing Congressman Ratcliffe proves your point about the entire FBI investigation being a foregone conclusion. Something to keep in mind while watching is that this is the same Comey that made Martha Stewart a felon for lying and obstructing justice by tampering with evidence.
I think everyone is a little confused about how the justice system works. As it stands, a secret committee can sign a secret death warrant to be executed by the president against American citizens abroad, and the US attorney general Eric Holder wouldn't rule out the possibility of said extra-judiciary process being used on Americans on US soil. So I don't blame Trump for thinking that maybe the POTUS can rule like an emperor from time to time.
Trump may understand however that the justice system is compromised, as demonstrated by Email-gate where Clinton has already promised to keep Lynch as the attorney general. This is why Trump is choosing senator Trey Gowdy to be attorney general, and if you've actually watched the house judiciary meetings you'd see that if anyone is capable of cutting through the bullshit to get to answers when in an actual position of power, it would be Gowdy. It could be the one good thing that comes from a Trump presidency.
Yeah, but some good does come of it. I enjoyed some very entertaining insults and had a good laugh at Shkreli's expense. This means Shkreli's existence is not quite completely a bane on humanity.
If your system gets compromised by years-old known malware because you think that %100 detection rate for all future malware is necessary to consider AV effective, then yes I'd say PHB has ever reason to blame you. If you're an admin, likely you have better things to do than restore user's files from backup because last year's version of cryptolocker found its way onto the system.
Is there even remotely a chance that this insidious cycle can be broken?
No. The very fact that abominations such as the TPP could be penned in secret and given fast-track status to be approved by congress pretty much sums it up; where the profits of international corporations takes priority over laws enacted by elected representatives and is guaranteed, and treacherous swine get on camera and with a wink and a smile to each other say how great it'll be for America.
The next move is to make sure the ammo box is no longer an option either, now that regulatory capture and mass surveillance are accomplished and a legion of propagandists are at their disposal. It'll be interesting to see at what lengths they will go to in order to disarm the peasants.
Meanwhile, south of Portland in a dinky little town called Scio (population about 700) there is a mutual telephone association that provides fios to its rural customers. You can live in the middle of corn fields and forest and still enjoy broadband speeds and low latency. I always found it pretty amazing to glance out the window and see a herd of cows grazing, all while downloading a file upwards of 5mb/s. Obviously, being someplace where comcast and verizon have no interest in 'innovating' has its advantages.
If I am going to elect someone to represent my interests against those of some other nation, I want someone with some guile, some smarts, and some backbone. I don't want some brutally honest "nice guy" in that job. A criminal who is on your side is a formidable weapon. I say let's elect one.
Irony is marveling at the stupidity of some people, yet expecting a good outcome by consciously choosing to have a fox guard your hen house.
At least we can always pretend to be a nation of laws, right?
Yes, we need a foreign enemy to fear and blame, and thankfully our media will helpfully focus on that rather than the contents of the message. People need to go on believing that the country is fair and just and a force for good in the world, and that it hasn't been hijacked to be the enforcer for rich plutocrats. There needs to be the illusion of choice, since it is better to think of oneself as a citizen rather than merely a subject.
The next step is to bribe the local rulers and set up sweatshops, and use the guise of 'free trade' to import the goods made by slaves and child labor without the hassle of environmental protection or labor laws.
Therefore it is proved yet again that while everybody has equal protection under the law, it is just some are more equal than others.
Anything you say can and will be used against you, so expressing an opinion in social media not considered politically correct carries with it an increased risk of incarceration.
"But... Nazis!" I'm trying hard to fathom how having superb eyesight, hearing, strength, intelligence, memory, etc. is arbitrarily fashionable. The fundamental aspects that define the human experience is not something that is merely cosmetic.
Besides, technology and society over time shapes us by removing natural pressures that select for positive traits. Since breeding kennels for humans would be considered immoral and impractical, using direct genetic manipulation is the only acceptable method for improving the human condition rather than to let it continue to deteriorate.
I'll bet in a hundred years scientists will look back and shake their heads at how superstitious and gullible people were to FUD, where rather than try to fundamentally improve the human condition the only choice was to have 'God' babies and roll the dice on genetically inheritable diseases and inferiorities. It'll seem primitive and barbaric, and needlessly cruel.
Once upon a time it was necessary to have servers 'in house' and maintain and virtualize them: Exchange servers, domain controllers, print servers, file servers, backup, WSUS, MKS, etc. There was the necessity to manage customized images of windows, and countless hours spent tweaking to make it appropriate for deployment on a massive scale with xml script, registry hacks, and carefully groomed group policy objects, plus maintaining file shares for drivers. When devices failed, there was the endless joy of trying to decypher cryptic event ID's, and detective work for stupid shit like 'unknown device' since noone thought it would be a good idea to link device enumeration with any kind of comprehensive database to present to the user. There was also the issues of complex licensing schemes and compliance.
Then web apps became a reality, as well as affordable gigabit WAN between sites, all while chrome devices came onto the scene. Neverware also became a great alternative for imaging old PCs with. The unthinkable happened; winboxes weren't automatically being replaced with more winboxes.
When the only app that matters becomes the browser, there is no benefit in bending over for MS. Linux, chromeos, ios, all become viable alternatives.

Bottom line, if Trump gets in, we get Trey Gowdy as attorney general, who is completely unlike this passive aggressive, tarmac-meeting weasel that won't even commit to saying that speeding is illegal, who might get to the bottom of some of these questions. There's your reach around for you.
Amen to that. It must pain you to step outside the Beacon Of Light that is the Huffington Post comment section to hear such blasphemy. These poor fools don't even realize that they are Born Sinners!

Trump is correct to be suspicious when there is actual video evidence of organized conspiracy to incite violence his events. So we know at least one side is likely to cause issues on election day.
When the means justifies the ends, there is every reason to be suspicious of election fraud. We've already seen the DNC conspire against Sanders in favor of Clinton, so I can only imagine that nothing is off the table as far as Trump is concerned.
