I disagree; the selection of candidates has had nothing to do with any "fringe" (who are universally shunned and disaffected in both parties until it's time to whip votes). For both parties, it has historically been determined by whose "turn" it is among lobbyist-friendly establishment politicians. Both sides always nominate the "inevitable" candidate that was pre-selected from the get-go. This has been the case since 1988 (where democrats had the the last seriously contentious primary ["contentious" not in rancor, but in the sense of "there is actually a non-predetermined outcome"] of either party that I can remember).
This year, however, the inevitable candidate was Jeb, and he's crashing and burning with the House GOP leadership. What we need right now is not governance, but a purgative. Democrats are feeling this year, too, with Hillary (especially re: debates), but I'm skeptical of whether they can really tear down the rigged game.
Republicans have been doing a pretty bang-up job of it, themselves, for the last 4 election cycles. Before the current shakeup, as far as how leadership affects governance, there is no discernible difference between a Republican and a Democrat.
Why? It's not like Slashdot is a US centric web page...
In all actuality, it really is. Slashdot covers US politics to an extent that it covers no other country (or even perhaps all of them combined). And it's not "politics in America affects everyone", either: I can't for the life of me figure out why, say, a Scandi cares about H1B tech hires in California.
If someone calls me a fuckwad, I hope they have thick enough skin for me to tell them to get the fuck out of my office and never speak to me again. Otherwise, they're just being a whiny cunt, eh?
The Luddites were a group of early 19th-century English cotton mill workers who destroyed industrial machinery they believed were taking their jobs via automation. Today, we generally consider such people backward and provincial.
I could go on and On, but that would just sink me deeper and deeper down to that level, I have been there enough in this little speech, no reason to ramble..
Agreed on saving.docx, but I think it does better at opening them than MS Word, especially those created by older versions. When someone has problems rescuing an old or corrupted.docx, and Word barfs all over it, the first thing I do is fire up my trusty LibreOffice.
Corporations care about money above all else - countries care about many things.
But most of those things boil down to money, either in cash or resources. Almost every war, even wars purportedly of religion, begin because someone has something someone else wants.
I have seen no corporation coming anywhere close to claiming to have the powers of a country. It simply does not exist.
The RIAA and the MPAA use to send out "swat" teams with their jackets emblazoned with their cartel acronym (in the style of the FBI or ATF) to shakedown street bootleggers. Orin Hatch suggested in a senate hearing on piracy that the RIAA should be allowed to remotely destroy computers hosting songs. The idea is not lunacy.

And then we hang all the people that elected them?
What's the obligatory XKCD for removing a standard?
Dirty Scandis. They all smell like pine trees and pickled fish. And manliness... wait, no, dammit!
I never thought of it that way before. It must be why white southerners (like me) find terms like "cracker" and "redneck" amusing and endearing.
Apple says it is working with developers to get their apps back up and Been is refining its application for resubmission.
It's in TFS.

You understand that Dell sells enterprise hardware already, right?
Actually, if you look closely, the GP is actually a Perl script for computing the Fibonacci Sequence.
They're creating a walled garden around my data! How dare they!

GP isn't forking the Linux kernel out of a ridiculous sense of entitlement, so it's irrelevant.
(GP, you aren't, right?)

Or you only hear about the more salacious bits of otherwise mundane developer communication.
That was a the Fire Phone team.
The sudden crush of eager plaintiffs may have done it. Judges need to golf, sometime, and this one had a bursting docket.

Totally off-topic: there is no umlaut in Uber, and therefore spelling it as Ueber is both needlessly pretentious and incorrect.

Nothing's stopping you, so far.
In the long list of things that can and should make a country irrelevant, the cost of a phone plan is pretty much... not there.

You cherry-picked the first benchmark mentioned, and disregarded the other tests where iPhone 6S out-performed the other phones.
What happens when it goes beyond Z? Does it go onto [?
0. I'm on EBCDIC, you insensitive clod!

No, that's not Clippy, that's Grubby.
