So your argument is that Trump was better than Hillary at following rules? The guy whose own lawyers refuse to let him take the stand because he can't help but implicate himself in crimes?
Alternative reality: he got on the plane destined to a different international airport in a country where guns and ammo are severely restricted; gets discovered in immigration customs and is thrown in jail awaiting trial and weapons smuggling charges. It's not that far-fetched either, it's exactly what happened to my father-in-law.
Not only have they hidden many of the settings under arbitrary new names, they've completely broken search in the process. If you have Windows 10, imagine you want to pull up the Device Manager but don't know where they've moved it, so you open the Start Menu and try a text search:
Start by typing "Dev", note the results.
Then add the "i" so it says "Devi", then "c".
Note that Device Manager appeared in "Dev", disappeared in "Devi" and reappeared in "Devic".
As a programmer, I can't even imagine what awful algorithm could vomit out search results this bad.
Just because he was wrong about a pipeline, doesn't mean to say everything he ever wrote about is lies. Much of the work he did in exposing the operation of propaganda in the US media is based on factual information reported by the media and easily verified. For example, the amount of money spent by the media divisions of the US armed forces is quoted from public sources, and dwarfs the budgets of many private media organisations. It is intellectually lazy to dismiss the entirety of work of a prolific author by one or two predictions that didn't turn out.
He may have been wise on this one issue, but there are certainly better people you could get parenting advice from. His first daughter devoted much of her book on how bad a father he was.
As a non-USian, I have no idea OTTOMH whether F scales within the same order of magnitude as C and K in the millions of degrees mark. Those sorts of temperatures are only used in physics, which almost exclusively uses C or K. So yeah, it would have been much easier for most of the world for TFS to have used C or K, as in my mind it could have been been the difference between 50,000 deg C or 50 million deg C.
If I'm already doing illegal things, then locking down the password points the finger directly at me. At least in an open network, I have plausible deniability.
You're arguing semantics. They certainly hacked to attempt to sway an election. Russian hackers with state-funded resources under direct orders from Putin, broke into the DNC server and selectively leaked information in order to sway the election towards their preferred candidate. This is the conclusion of numerous government agencies both in the US and abroad who have no obvious reason to deceive the public on this.
The only people who disagree with this assessment apart from Russia is Trump himself, presumably because it detracts from the prestige of his glorious electoral victory. The fact he has refused to challenge Putin on this, tried to delay or dismiss retaliatory sanctions against Russia or even publicly acknowledge this without walking it back soon after, suggests he is somewhat complicit or at least acquiesces to Russian interference in US democracy.
Stealing money anonymously is hard, because you have to have a real-world end point for that money. In the case of stolen credit cards, it can be easy to trace where and when these transactions occurred. If they were selling the CC information itself, then it might be the buyer who was compromised.
IOW, hacking to steal money is a lot harder to keep anonymous, than hacking to steal information. Once you know the individuals involved, it's much easier to spy on them and see whether they are working in a criminal gang from their basement, or clocking on at a government owned building in Moscow.
Why should the bail limit always be correlated to the severity of the crime? It's meant to be a financial disincentive for skipping out on the trial. Ideally it should be a significant portion of the proceeds of the crime, especially if it's possible he'd done this more times than authorities know about.
I've noticed that much of the world stopped laughing at the USA now that Trump is in the Oval Office.
Actually we stopped laughing when you booted out George W and elected Obama, who seemed to be able to speak intelligently on various topics without a teleprompter. When you elected Trump we collectively laughed our arses off, and it's been uninterrupted hilarity since. His buffoonery, corruption and general incompetence has encapsulated the worst stereotypes of the American people, and made many of us sigh with relief that his rise to supreme executive power could only happen in the US.
Exactly, and that's why animals like horses, which have been strict herbivores for tens of millions of years, never grow canine teeth. Oh, except male horses often do, because canine teeth are useful in fighting other males. And they also often grow "wolf teeth", which are only useful for tearing meat, because millions of years ago their evolutionary ancestor was an omnivore. Perhaps it's better not to look at teeth in order to decide what your diet should be.
You are presupposing a purpose already implanted - a primitive will to survive. Unless this was programmed directly, why would it care whether its existence continued?
I hear this talking point quite often from commentators like Reza Aslan, but it is completely untrue.
The country with the largest muslim population is Indonesia, where the rates of FGM are 97.5% according to the wiki article you linked. Neighbouring Malaysia has 93%. Asia-Pacific represents 62% of muslims.
So to pretend this is an Africa problem is to ignore all evidence to the contrary.
I've had the same problems with playing GIFs and pages hanging in Chrome. The most common cause of this is a dodgy add-on. Try disabling add-ons and restarting Chrome. If it works, then you can re-enable your add-ons one by one to find the guilty culprit. Another quick way to determine if Chrome is really the culprit is to do a Ctrl-Shift-N and load the page incognito. IME, Chrome is rarely the cause of the problem.
I still respect Google. Yes they've gone backwards in many areas in the last 10 years, but they have done more to dislodge the proprietary incumbents with open source alternatives than pretty much any other tech company. (Android vs iOS, ChromeOS vs Windows, Chrome vs IE, etc).
Trump also threatened to boycott the Late Show if Letterman didn't publicly apologise for calling him a racist. IIRC, Letterman read the letter from Trump on air, muttered something about how he will miss him and threw away the letter. This was all well before the election.
I keep hearing the Steele dossier referred to as 'fake' by Trump apologists, and I have no doubt that some of it will likely turn out to be spurious. However, the dossier introduced the public to a lot of wild claims about the Trump campaign, and so far I've only heard of things being corroborated. A couple of claims have been directly denied by campaign officials implicated in the dossier, but AFAICT those same officials have failed to produce any corroborating evidence.
So in order to dismiss the entire document, despite knowing at least some of it has proven accurate, please provide your overwhelming evidence that most (or in fact some) of it is 'fake'.
By comparison wind and solar is expensive, dirty, deadly, and did I mention expensive?
If these articles want to convince me that I need wind and solar power then they need to compare it to nuclear too...
There are many valid arguments for nuclear, but cost is not one of them. Nuclear is far more expensive than both wind and solar. Presuming from your sig you are in the US, the levelised cost of nuclear is more than double that of wind ($43-75 per MWh vs $95-104 per MWh).

I want this. I live in a sunny city with a 5kW capacity array of solar panels on my roof. I pay ~ USD $0.20 / kW for power and get back ~ $0.05 / kW for energy I produce. Therefore it's 4 times cheaper to use my own power than buying it from the grid. I am at work when my solar panels are reaching peak generation. I would love to be able to schedule my dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, etc. to start around between 11am-3pm, preferably consecutively so as to keep my power draw below my generation capacity. This would require "smart" devices that can be started remotely, and inform me when they are finished. I doubt I'm the only one with these requirements.
My guess that the iPhone switches to USB-C this year or next. There is no reason to keep Lightning since USB-C has all the same advantages.
You mean no reason apart from the highly lucrative market in licensing proprietary connectors to third-party manufacturers, as well as the benefits of hardware vendor lock-in and leveraging compatibility for the existing user base?
Many Apple users have invested in (some high-end) speaker systems, docks, chargers, car systems, etc. I can't see Apple ignoring this so quickly, as it makes migration to Android much easier if the new phone is incompatible with existing hardware.

Devin Nunes is pretty far from a Democrat.
Wired headphones are also powered by batteries.

Microsoft keeps rearranging settings and stuff.

A phone call can be made on a 2G connection. A better test would be to set the phone to 4G connection only and run a data speed-test.
