"mounting scrutiny of ties between his campaign and Russia."
Reminder, no such ties have been shown to actually exist.
Posting as AC because the last time I went against the Conspiracy Theories someone decided to call my boss and claim I was destroying America.
Ehmm? There are plenty of evidence and the administration have even acknowledged it and fired the people. What open is whether Trump was aware of it, or if it was only his most trusted and most prominent leaders of his campaign that colluded with the Russians.
Maybe you haven't been updating it? A lot of it didn't happen until the Anniversary Update, which, probably not coincidentally, was released right after their big push to force people to upgrade. It also seems to be getting worse with each major update.
No I have that. It advertised a few new features right after upgrading, and they reenabled cortana though I had told her to go away, I told her to go away again and haven't seen her since, and the new feature "tutorial" thing stopped pretty soon.
The secret is: It never actually worked. They just gave themselves that framing to make everybody having trouble on Macs feel like idiots and keep quiet.
In truth Mac's have always plagued by: IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!
Have you used Windows 10? Windows 10 Pro constantly pops up to tell you to try out a new game from their app store, use OneDrive, use Cortana, or buy Office 365. Even after I've cleared the notification, it pops up again within a few days.
I haven't seen that on my personal version of Win10 Pro, so I assumed it was limited to Win10 Home users. If you get that on Win10Pro, I wonder what I did differently to avoid it.
Sure it can. 300 million americans are not allowed into the whitehouse on any given day. Is that unconstitutional?
What does that have to do with speech and public forums? Are you gaslighting?
The question is this: If the government have a public channel for discussing public issues, can they deny specific people access for arbitrary and person reasons, or do they have to let people express their opinions as long as they do it in a way that doesn't violate explicitely set down rules for the debate?
In your opinion perhaps, but a measurable percentage of people disagree with you. Do try to be less arrogant.
The only one being an arrogant ass here is you. There is nothing arrogant about saying "Hmm, this is interesting", there is however an extreme amount of arrogance on attacking people personally and calling them arrogant just because they have mild curiosity for a position that is different than yours.
Did Obama's whitehouse.gov page have an unmoderated comment section?
Do you think their moderation was arbitrary and blocking people just for disagreeing?
Moderation is completely legal, was is not allowed is the government removing people from the public discussion for arbitrary reasons such as disagreeing politely with official positions.
1st Amendment is free speech, it does not mean you have a right to send your opinion to a specific person (imagine how spammers would exploit that, if it where).
Yes, but if this is an official channel, the question is: Does the government have the right to refuse input on issues from specific people? If FCC had decided a group of people were not welcome to comment due to them disagreeing with FCC's position, would that be legal.
The POTUS twitter account would be the exact same situation. If it is an official channel, they may not have the right not to listen to people abitrarily.
Good to hear they're making a version of Windows specifically for professional use. It should then come without all the crap bloatware, ads, and telemetry, right? Right?
It is called Windows Pro and Windows Enterprise. Not sure about the bloatware and adware though, that is usually added by the OEM. The only adware that Windows 10 has naturally is advertising of itself and its own features in the home edition.
I wonder if the autopilot requires any calibration to align all of the various sensors?
No the cruise control is not supposed to be driving the car on its own in any case. So any misalignment would automatically be picked up by the sensible driver who always keeps his hands on the steering wheel.
Why would their rights to privacy not count? Like the right to life, security and free speech I don't believe it has an age limit nor needs one.
You think a 15 year has the right to free speech? Does that mean I can sue my mom for all the times I was grounded or otherwise censured and disciplined for some of the irresponsible things I said as a teenager?
If your mom is the government yes, and while she might be "the man" she is not the government.In all other cases free speech is just an ideal, not a law, or is only a legal issue when the government impedes your free speech.
Ethiopia and the other old African civilizations don't have the same level of public recognition that Egypt does.
I'm not even sure what the other old African civilizations are, before I did a quick recheck to see what Ethiopia had been up to for the last 2000 years, all I could easily remember was that they were once respected trade partners with Egypt and Rome.
Well, all the classic ones were North African and thus more mediterrainian or near east than sub-saharan black.
Of the great black kingdoms, I can think of Mali and Songhai in West Africa (I think there was a couple more, these were the great black kingdoms capturing all the slaves Europeans bought and took to the new world). In the east there was Ethiopia and the rich merchant city of Zanzibar, and a large continous culture of Swahili speakers in between, though I don't think those were united.
U2F... 2.0 is also know as "Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials" https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn... Appears to be on it's way to a real standard
FYI, Mozilla and Microsoft are currently working on U2F in Edge and Firefox
Yes, WebAuthentication, but not the standard currently implemented in Chrome, which is what everybody is using until the replacement is done. Until then it is Chrome only.
Netflix allows you to share your login with multiple people with certain plans. You are limited only by how many concurrent devices are actively using it. Wonder if this skews the survey results at all?
And to get the 4K content you have to buy the family package with 5 concurrent logins. If I had a choice I would buy just one concurrent login, but with multiple they are basically forcing me to share passwords.
This is not just Google's fault - people are writing Chrome-only websites. Not surprisingly, google.com only supports U2F (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_2nd_Factor) on Chrome. Surprisingly and infuriatingly, other tech companies are doing the same, even though Firefox supports U2F with a plugin. Dropbox and Atlassian both require Chrome for U2F, and refuse to try to work with Firefox. (Kudos to Github for doing it right.)
That is because U2F is not as much a standard or new technology as much as it is a really ugly hack, and no one wants to port that horrible code to other browsers. The other browsers have all looked into it and decided to do something else.
Between changes in the standard headers, changes in keywords (without provisions to disable them for files written to older standards) Changes in API and ABI, there is a huge clusterfuck of underdocumented shortcomings in C/C++ that are mostly there because of standard ego-stroking. Many of which have no excuse for having shown up in the past decade given that most of them manifest in open source software that could have been tested against in an automated fashion to ensure that new changes to the standard didn't break older code.
I agree, for C++. Whenever I have breakages after upgrades, it's almost always C++. Programs have to be recompiled, because they've imported and extended templates that they themselves weren't in charge of. Even if the APIs remain the same, there are still breakages. For C, there are far fewer problems. Yes, someone might change an API, but the general consensus is to not do that, but provide new functions. New standards happen, but only affect the source, and not whether binaries continue to work, like can be the case for C++.
So when minor point releases of C libraries break ABI much more often than C++ libraries, that just doesn't happen? libssl, libpng, libflac, libwebp, etc. Have all broken binary compatibility in minor releases. Note btw, that templates changing definition doesn't really break much in C++ unless you export those templated clases over a module interface which is a dangerous thing to do. Templates being in headers alone means the have no binary part whose compatibility they could break. Though of course you can alway shoot yourself in the foot, and C++ being a very powerful language can take your entire foot off below the knee along with the floor and the people living downstairs when your do so.

This is a Politico poll, a known opponent of Trump.
I think you misspelled proponent. Politico is one of the most right-wing leaning media that isn't intentionally fake news.
Why? Are you too retarded to use Google. Start with the first two campaign managers. Does the name Manafort ring a bell?

And I really hope and pray that in one of the next releases we will see SVG Font support. That would be awesome.
Extremely unlikely. They had SVG font support at one point. They deliberately removed it, way back when they were still with WebKit.

No a top performing processor cost 500$ or less. The products above that are premium not performance. For people with more money than common sense.

Switzerland is smaller and has less economic clout than some counties in the US. This sort of thing doesn't scale.
Don't exaggerate, Switzerland is the size of an average US state. But yes, it wouldn't work in the US on federal level.
Because he had to. Literally, he had to appoint at least one Republican into this commission by law.
