As a Canadian I don't feel. I just expose facts and logic. (sorry for that)
Obama interfering with an Israeli Election is legal in the US.
(I think.. Why would US legislate about stuff happening in another country's election?) If they did make a law against it, then yes it would be illegal. If they did not legislate, then it would be "unethical", but not illegal. Israel might have a law against it and it would be up to them to put pressure on the American government to stop.
"A 2016 study by Dov Levin found that, among 938 global elections examined, the United States and Russia combined had involved themselves in about one out of nine (117), with the majority of those (68%) being through covert, rather than overt, actions."
Russia, because yes Russia has a big probability of being the main actor here, don't care if a Donkey, an Elephant or the Easter Bunny is POTUS. They're playing a game and using disruption fits their goal.
I think the wrongdoings is that a UK company interfered with an US election.
The issue is that Palantir technology (and probably data) was used by Cambridge Analytica. And THIS is what's scary. A UK based control of a US "Weapon of Mass Disruption".
1994 was a great year for new 3d games. The game came out the same month as Doom 2. There were also Descent, Under a Killing Moon and Magic Carpet that were released that year.
Lots of opportunities to miss that one but if you were an Origin fan at all, you could not miss System Shock.
What is epic is that the EXACT SAME STORY happened to Australia's Health workers. IBM Makes a payment system. System is delivered on time, so public service managers get their bonuses. Workers are not getting paid. Government sues IBM. IBM wins lawsuit, plus legal fees, because it followed the specifications in the contract.
http://www.theaustralian.com.a... "the government was not able to define and stick to a scope” This is what's happening at the Canadian Government right now too. IBM made a "perfect" system for 37.5 hours a week, full time employees, who do not change jobs or get temporary assignations, and who do not go on parental or disability leave. It's Hell. And we're all paying for it.
Deniers moved the goal posts. - They agree that it's happening. - They are denying it's caused by humans. It's a step in the right direction. I consider this a "small win".
Seen on Boingboing. There are phones marketed for their "discretion", but the 3110 doesn't look "comfortable".
The "Beat the Boss phone" is an £27 micro-telephone built into a Bluetooth headset with only trace amounts of metal in its construction; it is lozenge-shaped and is designed to be rectally smuggled into prisons, jails and courtrooms.
The reviews are pretty excellent, as you might imagine: "The person this was bought for is very happy with it, as to whether it will beat the boss, time will tell"; "Trust me the smaller the better", etc.
"Demographically speaking I should be a heavy social media user, but that is not the case. I've never had a social media account." I think the author is more confused than we are.
I read somewhere he received a six figures payment for right to the concept. I'm still trying to find a credible source, but it would not surprise me as the usual payment is around 250k for book rights.
What's wrong with Bandcamp? If the problem is that you want to get cash for your album, just print out business cards with QRCodes for one-time links to your album.

Trump was worth even less than 3% approval rating among the Republican voters two years before he was a candidate.
Your point?

The answer to life, the universe and everything is the ascii value of the asterisk.
And Douglas Adams knew that.
The ASCII code for * is 42. Everything is the answer to Everything.
Paperclips... Lots and lots of paperclips.

Now there is an app for it.

First book in an epic medieval fantasy.
It's good. Full of fun adventures.

Fun times.
>Most larger companies have some type of a multi-step "employee improvement program".
I thought you were going to write multi-step buildings. .. they wouldn't fall that high .. if they jumped.
So..
Damn. We're going to run out of floppies.
I like it when a group knows what it's talking about.
They are not saying "we'll just put it in the cloud and it will be safe forever!"
"Demographically speaking I should be a heavy social media user, but that is not the case. I've never had a social media account."

They need to reboot The Young Ones.
I think they're still alive. Even the 5th flatmate.
(Oh.. Rick died two years ago.)
I'm waiting for the announcement of Trump-Musk 2016.
We will definitely need more popcorn.
Might as well ban local language. Just code!
Unregistered bad guy with drone can be stopped by registered good guy with drone.
That means that he will be stripped of his honors from being in the Three Comma club. No more cars with doors that open "like this" or "like this".
Or does he have worth anywhere else?

One line comes out of this..
"Harrison Ford somehow had the balls to rewrite his lines and got away with it, both in Star Wars and in Raiders of the Lost Ark."
There. That's the only reason he made it big. It was a brilliant attitude against someone like Lucas.
Actually, it's DROP TABLE PEOPLE;
