You pushed for Clinton, even though Sanders was a better candidate. What did you expect?
I did vote for Sanders in Michigan, because I wanted to see Clinton lose. I was very glad to see her lose again. That's the good news. The bad news is Trump won, but I have been getting a lot of schadenfreude from the leftists' meltdown.
Without him, and if Johnson voters had gone for Clinton, that would have flipped MI, WI, PA and FL.
So basically what you're saying is that if all of the Clinton voters had voted for Johnson, he would have won. Clinton cost Johnson the election, now we're stuck with Trump!

I think Android counts for more than 85% of smartphone sales now, more like 99%. Which just goes to show what a price-gouger Apple is.
Apple does what any business would like to do: Sell a product to maximize profits. If they thought they could get more profit by selling iPhones for $1,000 apiece, they would. They're selling a premium item, not a necessity. There's plenty of cheap phones out there if you don't want to pay a premium.
That was actually Wayne Gretzky who said that. But what did he ever do that would suggest he has any clue what he's talking about? It's not like he was anyone Great.
It's a great quote, but now I can't hear it without thinking about Hillary Clinton. She posted a tweet quoting Martin Luther King, and somebody replied with this.:-D
The morning after pill or those two alternatives are not pleasant, no. They're still sizeably better than the 20 years of financial pain a man has no choice about.
Most people don't know they developed a morning after pill for me too. You take it the morning after and it changes your blood type.
Slashdot also doesn't want to drop below their 3-a-day Apple smear quota. It's been really sad to see as of late. It's funny that most of the comments are from people calling Slashdot on their BS though.
I'm a long time Mac owner (25+ years), and I was disappointed in their recent offerings. I certainly didn't see anything compelling that would get me to want to upgrade from my 2011 17" MacBook Pro. If I was in the market for a new laptop and I was an open source developer, I might consider going Linux as well.
For the same reason we'd impeach Hillary. Because even a retarded chimpanzee could do a better job of being President than either one of them.
While undoubtedly true, that still wouldn't be a permissible reason to impeach them: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
I thought about leaving when they started running near daily stories about Clinton's emails, but said nothing about Trump's admissions of sexual assault. Perhaps I should give/. a break until the 9th.
Means more room for humans. We're succeeding as a species. I suspect it wont end well for us though.
I have no doubt that certain species are declining, but others are booming, and it's precisely because there's more humans. For instance, there's more deer, black bears, raccoons, and coyotes, just to name a few.
On the other hand, Hillary took the initiative in starting wars, the Libyan civil war comes to mind. She also represents the interests of the banks, the arms manufacturers, and the Washington DC establishment. You know, the ones who continually demand that wars start.
But it's different when a Democrat does it! Missing: Democrat Anti-war Protesters, last seen November 2008.
For the occasions where I do need peace and quiet, well Bose QC35s live up to their model number, unfortunately at $350 and given the quality of sound they also live up to their brandname.
I have a set of Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones, and they do a good job of reducing, but not completely cancelling noise. I will use them whenever I need to really concentrate.

The rest of the civilized world has solved this problem, it's called paid sick leave.
This is in reference to open office environments. You're more likely to get sick from coworkers if there's no barrier between you. Most businesses in the US already offer paid sick leave. I can't think of a major business that doesn't have it, about the only ones I imagine wouldn't have it would be small businesses/mom & pop shops.
I don't personally know a single Trump voter who isn't a racist or a sexist. I'm not saying there aren't some out there, surely there must be, but there's a reason why most of these scandals haven't hurt him more than about 5% points. It's because most of his supporters are proud of his transgressions. If Trump came out in favor of reintroducing segregation, he wouldn't lose many supporters.
I actually have a lot of friends and family (male & female) that are supporting Trump, and NONE of them are sexist or racist to my knowledge.The thing they have in common isn't that they like Trump, it's that no matter how much of a clown they see him as, the see Hillary to be worse. I think people in both camps aren't voting for their candidate as much as they are voting against the other one.
Again, if not it's worthless. I'm tired of paying for stations and content that I would never in a million years want to watch. If one penny of my money goes to Bravo, for instance, there is no amount of value you could add elsewhere which would persuade me to help pay for their "reality"-TV drivel.
I'm holding out for the day I can get a la carte channels. We pretty much watch AMC (Walking Dead),History (Vikings), BTN/ESPN/2/3 (college football & basketball), Fox (Gotham) and HBO (GOT, Westworld, movies, etc.). Also throw in a dash of CNN/Fox News to get both sets of propaganda, and I'd be good to go.
Why someone would mark a perfectly valid question like this as "overrated"?
Because someone who doesn't like me has mod points. I've seen many of my comments modded down across several different threads. From what I understand, by modding someone overrated, your mod can't be metamoderated, so you don't lose moderation opportunities. But, it's just a message board, so it really doesn't bother me. I've got "karma" to burn. One of the reasons I always quote a person I'm replying to: If someone is modded down below the threshold, people will still know what my reply is about.
Not sure what your experience is in debating, but Trump lost all three massively because he failed to construct an argument at any point.
Hint: These aren't debates in the usual sense of the word. These are Reality TV infomercials for the D & R candidates. A real debate would ask both candidates what they believe on question 1. Candidate A would give their answer, and Candidate B would give their answer. If they disagreed, Candidate A would get a response, followed by Candidate B. Next question would start with question 2 starting with Candidate B, and so on. You'd have questions about policy issues, not "Have you stopped beating your wife?" gotchas. Instead what we get are pissing wars where everyone gets wet. I think Trump is a doofus, that doesn't mean that he didn't perform better in these Reality TV episodes.
Arguing a federal judge cannot fairly adjudicate a case before him because of his ethnicity is the very definition of racism. The textbook definition mind you of what Racism is.
Correction: He argued a federal judge cannot fairly adjudicate a case before him because of his parents' nationality. Mexicans are not necessarily Hispanic, just as Americans are not necessarily European, African or Asian. And even *if* he had made a racist statement, that still doesn't mean all of his supporters are racist. That's a hasty generalization. It just floors me when liberals are for free speech *except* when it's speech they disagree with...
You can't claim Hillary was mean "but Trump started it." Their material was pre-written and not by them. The die was cast before the event and they both decided to be vicious. Don't blame Trump because he happened to go first.
He could have decided to not read that material. Totally his choice.
I watched all 3, and the way I judge them is as following: 1st debate: Clinton lost *less* than Trump. 2nd debate: Trump won by a small margin. 3rd debate: Trump won, but the "nasty woman" comment diminished his victory considerably. Alfred E. Smith Dinner: Trump tanked hardcore. He was doing well until he started in on how corrupt Hillary is. It was not in the spirit of the gathering. Clinton also took mean-spirited pot-shots at him, but he started it. If he had avoided his comments and let her make hers, he would have been better off for it. After watching this event live, Trump seems like a candidate that's trying to lose.

Trump's sexual assaults have nothing to do with technology. Besides, you can go to any other news source for that info.

How is it that we have an undiscovered planet in our solar system, yet we're able to find earth-like planets orbiting stars that are light-years away?
The original poster never said he was trying to refute them. He was simply dismissing them.
By dismissing them, he was implicitly claiming that there was no merit to their argument.
