  1. Re:A president who cannot separate personal affair on FBI Finds 14,900 More Documents From Hillary Clinton's Email Server (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I've sent email to my boss requesting time off. He doesn't pry into the reason, as long as I catch up with whatever I've missed when I get back.

    My boss probably wouldn't be happy if you had access to my work email. It's not "Top Secret", but there's quite a bit of "None of Your Business" stuff in there. Luckily, it's not in a server in my basement.

    They might assume that I'm a boring person, based on my few posts. I doubt they could guess my political leanings.

  3. Doubtful on Facebook Knows Your Political Preferences (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a FB account, but I rarely use it. I certainly don't talk politics on it, nor do I click on the dumb crap, political or otherwise, that pops up on it.

    I thought /. was an anti-social site.

    Do you completely separate your personal email from the work-related email? Have you ever mentioned work-related items in personal correspondence? Have you ever mentioned personal matters in work email?

    Yes, I have separate email accounts for work and home. No, I've never mentioned work-items in my personal email. And no, my boss and cow-orkers don't need to read about my yoga classes.

    A crook, two losers, and a buffoon.

  8. We're worrying about the wrong critter on Can Cow Backpacks Reduce Global Methane Emissions? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that the average politician emits at least 3 times the methane of the average cow.

  9. No! I can check email almost anywhere. I wouldn't want to check voicemail in most public places, and I don't think the people around would be too thrilled either.

  10. Furthermore, according to the US Census Bureau ~80% of homes have a garage or carport, so the 67% of US homeowners drops to around 53% of the US population who can install systems like you say you have. It's technically still a majority, but I don't think anyone can call it vast. And we haven't even got into people's financial abilities or who legitimately need the range of an ICE.

    Look, as I said before I support EVs and I own one. What you've been able to do with your EVs is great. But we're not helping EV adoptions by not being realistic about limitations for significant portions of the population.

    Exactly! Of the 3 houses I've owned, one had no off-street parking, and the other had a driveway, but no garage. House #3 has a carport. No electrical outlet, but I could get one put in, if I had any money left after buying an EV with enough range (I often drive over 100 miles on the weekend).

  11. Re:Horrible idea on Can We Avoid Government Surveillance By Leaving The Grid? (counterpunch.org) · · Score: 1

    If you try to avoid being tracked, that makes them suspicious, and they'll track you even more.

    ^This! My plan is to hide in plain sight. Unless They (tm) have a specific reason to single me out, I'm just one of 300M Americans, lost in a big crowd.

    I would think they would care if the head of the French intelligence got his bank account cleared out because someone found the backdoor in the bank encryption.

    You are welcome for your answer. Now if we could just convince him to run for president and mention that. lol

    That only proves that Trump isn't a sharp a businessman as he claims to be. :-P

    Or maybe Hillary is the Queen of the Lizardfolk, with an effective IQ of 1679.6, who habitually commits perfect crimes and leaks them to her enemies so she can laugh at their inability to prove anything.

    Please, give it a rest unless/until someone comes up with some actual evidence.

    That's just crazy! There's no way Hilary's IQ is that high!

  20. Agreed. As a city-boy, I've never been in a position to kill horses. I have, however, cleared my share of cubicals.

    My recent attempt to try Ubuntu failed because of dual-booting problems. I'm seriously considering getting a pure Linux box, maybe from System 76 or some other Linux place, and keeping it and Windows completely separate, so MS can't fsck with the good stuff.
