Any time I ever common on anything having to do with Microsoft, I get pummeled by a PR firm. But this is a *positive* post, no criticism, so maybe the minimum wage public opinion manipulators will leave me along this time.
FYI, they get paid *$8.00* per hour. With the amount of disdain you show for them, it's no wonder they hound you so much!
Imagine the reaction on the Left if, for example, Dick Cheney had EXCLUSIVELY used a private, non-government email server his entire time in office.
It would be *different*, because it was Dick Cheney (in other words, not their guy). Sadly, this would probably be one of the least egregious things Puppet Master-in-Chief Cheney has done.
This seems indicative of sense that the rules do not apply to me.
Nobody who would vote for Hillary Clinton will care about things like this.
That's a broad and largely inaccurate statement.
A lot of them will care very much, but not enough to vote for a candidate with much more serious flaws.
I highly doubt it, her cult of personality is too big. Articles defending her using the tu quoque defense are already popping up. Hillary Clinton could tap dance in stilettos on a box full of puppies and PETA would praise her for mercifully saving them from a life of enslavement. If you really cared, you would simply abstain from voting for that particular office. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still evil. If the only choices I had for 2016 were Clinton or Bush, I wouldn't vote for either.
There might be some hoopla on Twitter and Fox News for a few days, and then there will be some stragglers like with Benghazi, but it will mostly fade out of the mainstream media within a few hours from now.
What does this have to do with Benghazi? If anything there's a major difference in that Clinton actually did something wrong in this one.
The point isn't whether she did something wrong or not, the point was there will be very few people talking about this in the future, regardless of her actions. The media will quite simply ignore this because they will be in the tank for Hillary the way they were for Obama in 2008 & 2012. I didn't vote for Obama, but I was actually glad that he got elected in 2008, because that meant that neither Hillary Clinton nor John McCain would be president.

I think aside from the Slashdot crowd and like-minded folk, nobody really cared that these were pushed down. also, I don't feel strongly one way or the other if somebody steals your electronics.
They didn't "push" it per se. It showed up in your purchased music, and you were prompted to see if you wanted to download it. I'm not a huge U2 fan, but I did download it and give it a couple of listens. It's not a bad album, but yeah, the better approach would have been to just say it was free and let the user decide.
...that thinks the new icons actually look quite nice?
Probably not, but the icons make me think they were created in Paint. Yesterday, I had a chance to work on a Windows 10 machine. I didn't have enough time to notice them, as the computer kept freezing up when I was trying to change the desktop image.
You seem to be desperate to make some kind of point in this argument, but I don't see evidence of that happening. Are you being paid to post on Slashdot on this topic?
Yes, I make mad ca$h posting anti-Obamacare posts on Slashdot. You figured me out!
He talked about how this has directly helped him. Can you explain how this has directly hurt you?
I can give you 2 specific instances where Obamacare has turned into a pain in the neck for me.
1) My work used to offer an FSA, which you could put money into for buying over-the-counter medicine, bandages, pain relievers, saline solution, etc. Obamacare changed that so you could only by prescription medicines instead of the other stuff. FSA's are use-it or lose-it, and it's hard to predict what kinds of medical expenses you might have a year in advance, so most people stopped using it, since they didn't want to have a pile of cash unspent that would go to the IRS.
2) Similarly, my wife's work offered an HSA, which could be used to buy over-the-counter medicine. Obamacare affected that so you could only get medicine by prescription as well.
So basically, what you could buy on your own now requires you to set up a doctor's visit, take time off of work, and wait for a pharmacists. This is what I have to do to get my OTC allergy medicine. You might not think that's a big deal, but this is a situation that affects millions of people. How many truly sick people aren't able to get a doctor's visit as soon as they might need because somebody who never used to have to visit a doctor now needs to waste a half hour just to get something they could have just gotten at their local grocery store before the rule changes in Obamacare? Not to mention the additional waits for people getting prescriptions and hours of productivity lost.
And surprise, surprise I still have the same doctor & (a better) health plan, but my fiance w/ an expensive sleep disorder was actually able to get insurance.
Congratulations, I'm glad it worked out for you. For many others, not so much. Of course, you completely ignore that a promise was made: "Let me be CLEAR: If you like your doctor, you can keep them." And not only that, Obama knew this was not the case prior to making the statement, so he purposely lied to get people to support it. Then after that, he lied about the lie.
Even though SM doesn't give an explicit example related to the issue, this administration has a very long track record of saying they're going to do one thing, and then doing something else. That's not F.U.D. Stay classy, Jaysyn!
The republicans gave up too easily. Look how long and drawn out their battle against Obamacare was. In comparison, this measure seems to have been abandoned without much fight. I can't help but wonder why.
Just wait, you'll see in a few years. Wailing & gnashing of teeth to follow.
But that doesn't mean that we are supposed to turn into Somalia.
I love how the idea of reducing the size of the federal government is always compared to Somalia. Guess what? In addition to a federal government, most people are also under a state, county, and city/township government. Removing power from the federal government isn't going to result in bands of roving warlords and pirates. It would simply shift the balance of services provided from a bloated federal government back to the state & local level, where they belong and people have more opportunity to provide input.
Well, he proposes that the people who want less aggression might want to leave the planet. Bad news - anyone out there that we encounter is very likely to be even more aggressive if they've survived longer than us. Survival of the fittest isn't just for puny earthlings.
Let's not forget about "Space Madness!" either. As soon as someone goes looney on the voyage, it's game over, man! Game over!

That arbitrarily seizes cash left and right because it is deposited in "structured deposits"
However, because of the negative associations the word "hacker" has, the more mainstream name is now "makerspace" or even "createspace."
I think maker is probably a better term anyway, since people tend to associate hacker with computers/networks/software, and a lot of things makers create are more real-world physical objects. I know most of those objects involve computers & programming, but that is only a part of it. Tinker also works, but sounds more trivial than maker.
Exporting weapons that wind up being used against our own troops is fairly commonplace in this scenario, but hey, it's all about the corporate profits baby!
<sarcasm>Let's be reasonable. How else are we going to perpetuate the military-industrial complex if we don't give weapons to our eventual enemies?</sarcasm>
Well guess what? Maybe you should have taken a little bit of responsibility by using a condom?
That does not address the original issue. Would you find it acceptable for someone to say "Maybe you should have taken a little responsibility and not spread your legs" to a woman? If not, why is it o.k. to say that to the guy?
You won't get a judge to agree with you if you accidentally father a child.
I like how this issue is always 1-sided. It's a woman's choice if she wants to have an abortion, but the guy doesn't have a choice to not support the child if the woman wants to have it but he doesn't.
You will note that except for a Donate link there is no mention of funding.
I wonder how many TV companies would shovel over billions for the rights to broadcast "The Real World"/"Survivor"/"Big Brother" Mars for long term funding.
You don't need to hire experts right off the bat. What you want to hire is someone who recognizes that they don't know the answer, and tells you that, and then immediately says they'd go research it to find out. "Can I Google that?" is a perfectly valid answer sometimes.
That's good advice. In my interview at my current job, I told my boss during my interview "I don't know how to do everything, but I can figure out anything." Thus far I haven't had anything thrown at me that I can't handle, but there were a few instances where I had to do some research to be able to complete a task.

Future bad global governance
Unlike current bad global governance, which isn't a threat at all...
So out of curiosity, how do you justify that distinction? What is it about the $50 that makes the pilot suddenly less safe? Specifically.
The government isn't getting their cut, which means the pilot will soon be surrounded by men with guns. That's what makes them suddenly less safe.
You don't need to hire experts right off the bat. What you want to hire is someone who recognizes that they don't know the answer, and tells you that, and then immediately says they'd go research it to find out. "Can I Google that?" is a perfectly valid answer sometimes.
