You mean Hillary? Because Trump, despite all the mud being thrown this way, has done very little concrete evil in comparison.
Trump has never held an elective or appointive office in his entire life.
But there is damn little reason to believe that he is capable of playing by the rules or accepting responsibility for anything that goes wrong.
The legal actions provide clues to the leadership style the billionaire businessman would bring to bear as commander in chief. He sometimes responds to even small disputes with overwhelming legal force. He doesn't hesitate to deploy his wealth and legal firepower against adversaries with limited resources, such as homeowners. He sometimes refuses to pay real estate brokers, lawyers and other vendors.
As he campaigns, Trump often touts his skills as a negotiator. The analysis shows that lawsuits are one of his primary negotiating tools. He turns to litigation to distance himself from failing projects that relied on the Trump brand to secure investments. As USA TODAY previously reported, he also uses the legal system to haggle over his property tax bills. His companies have been involved in more than 100 tax disputes, and the New York State Department of Finance has obtained liens on Trump properties for unpaid tax bills at least three dozen times.

It's a lovely dream, kid. But the numbers tell a different story.
95% of Steam gamers run Windows. 43% have migrated to 64 Bit Win 10. That is up 3% in one month. 4% run MacOS. 1% Linux. Valve posts no numbers for Steam OS. Steam Hardware & Software Survey: June 2016
Steam Machine hardware sales have been pathetic.
I'm not convinced that anyone has the foggiest idea of how to position and sell these things. The Steam Machine with decent specs costs more than a video game console and with good specs more than a mass market Win 10 gaming system with better specs.
The ZOTAC NEN Steam Machine Gaming Mini PC (Intel Skylake Core i5-6400T Quad-Core NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 8GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive) is top of the line, at $1,085 from Amazon.com. #7,205 in Computers & Accessories, #89 in Computers & Accessories > Desktops > Minis.
That's like the third story about Microsoft today. How much are you getting to promote this piece of crap?
Microsoft is a global giant in software and services. Which means that a "news for nerds" tech site like Slashdot won't be taken seriously if it doesn't provide in-depth coverage --- which Ars Technica (among others) does quite well without drawing protests like yours.
we all know someone has to pick the peaches and no Americans want those jobs when they can sit home and draw a government check while they watch TV.
This is ladder work, kids, in 95 degree heat.
What you need to succeed in harvesting high-value perishables is a gentle touch, speed, stamina and experience.
That makes it a young man's game. Migrant labor. You cannot do this part time and get any good at it at all. Oh, and you'll need a willingness to work for sub-minimal wages without meal breaks or other amenities which were common in industrial work about one hundred years back.
Which is why seasonal recruitment from the urban welfare rolls never really works.
''For agriculture, one of our real differences if the country goes that way [increasing the minimum wage] is that exemptions really don't do us much good because we're competing in the marketplace with jobs that will be paying $15 an hour.''
Presently, agriculture employees [in California] are exempted from labor code provisions regarding wage, hour, meal break and other working conditions. Known as the Phase-In Overtime for Agricultural Works Act of 2016, the new bill would remove this exemption and would create a schedule that would phase in overtime requirements for agricultural workers over the course of four years, beginning in 2017.
Under the proposed legislation, beginning July 1, 2017, agricultural workers would receive overtime for all work after nine and one-half hours daily, or in excess of 55 hours in one work week. The thresholds for daily and weekly overtime would be further reduced each subsequent year until January 2020, at which point agricultural employees would receive overtime for work beyond eight hours a day or 40 hours weekly.
Why? just create a "star-trek-like" open source universe. We'll call it "Cosmos Odyssey...." featuring the Starship U.S.S. Constitution.,,,
There doesn't seem much point in asking the geek to come up with something new.
That said:
The modern era of science fiction begins in the 1920s. There is a huge body of first-class work out there in the public domain that hasn't been touched in decades. But to make use of it you would have to design and build original sets and props. Re-imagine the characters and universe for a contemporary audience.
I wish a bunch of people like this would come together, and see how much of their money it would take to free the rights to Star Trek once and for all.
That would be the ownership and global distribution rights to fifty + years of commercially viable film and television productions plus all ancillary rights to books, models, toys, games, costumes. logo wear and other merchandising.
Not to mention the expense of paying out residuals for the actors, etc. Oh, and you are going to need to set aside some funds to preserve and maintain all that film and video. Not to mention sets, costumes and props.
Now and again one of our neighbors is caught sub-letting his apartment.
The complaints come from all sides --- because this undermines the security and stability of the entire apartment block. The location is ideal for small children and retirees and rentals are affordable. The sub-lets have been nothing but trouble. The kind that has you dialing 911.
While commercially available cannabis compounds are FDA-approved to reduce cancer treatmentâ"related side effects such as nausea and vomiting and to improve appetite, no clinical trials have shown that cannabis products can treat cancer.
Claims that cannabis oil cures cancer are anecdotal and largely unsupportable, based on scant research done in mice and in labs. Side effects can include memory and attention loss. Perhaps most important, there is evidence that cannabis compounds may inhibit enzymes that patients need to metabolize other anticancer drugs, thereby increasing their toxicity or reducing their effectiveness.
Yes, but why bother to patch such an exploit in an OS that you've already killed off yourself? Why not open up the market to let people take advantage of the hardware rather than let it end up in the Landfill?
The RT owner has a patched system with some Win 10 features. Mainstream support for Windows RT 8.1 ends January 9, 2018.
That makes RT a usable system and not a candidate for the garage sale or the landfill for quite some time yet --- and, let's be clear about the thing, it's the RT laptop at garage sale prices is what the geek wants here. He doesn't give a damn about the owner who wants an exploit-free Windows OS.
Reality is that a single semi-automatic rifle would have been extremely effective in stopping the madman in Nice attack.
First you have to be in a sheltered position where you can make the shot cleanly and safely. Second you are aiming at a small moving target protected by tons of metal and laminated glass --- and quite probably in body armor. Third it is night. What lighting there is may be casting strange shadows ---- more confusing than helpful.
Microsoft, in the pocket of big media, is working against the consumer to manipulate hardware manufacturers into taking control away from users of the data on their own computers. This is not a feature, this is anti-consumer racketeering.
What consumers want is AAA content for their 4K UHD sets, which are becoming very affordable in all screen sizes.
That content could be distributed through a universal and general-purpose web browser, like Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Opera. But chances are good that won't happen because the geek can't get it through his head that it isn't going to happen without sophisticated content protection.
That leaves the field wide open to the smart TV with its suite of 4K apps, the 4K Blu-Ray player, the next generation cable and satellite DVR, the Amazon Fire HD, the Roku set top box, the stream-casting tablet and so on.
The walled garden wins because that is where people meet and that is where the action is.
My biggest hope is that Johnson gets very close to 30%, and wrecks the idea that the president (Clinton / Trump) has any sort of mandate to do anything.
Not going to happen.
People may be particularly afraid of supporting a potential spoiler. It may mean voting for someone they're not crazy about, but a voter who really hates the other party would be more likely to do that, if it means stopping the other team from winning.
Also the people, since, you know, she got more votes.
Trump won in the Republican primaries despite the opposition of the GOP establishment. Sanders lost in the Democratic primaries because the geek couldn't deliver the votes.
The "corporate overlords" as the geek describes them have been standing up for a open and humane secular order that is distinctly different from the toxic nationalism that defines Donald Trump and the theism of the religious right that dominates the GOP.
You may have the idea that "Autopilot" means the plane flies itself. Nope. Typically autopilot on the plane means it will fly straight and level until ordered otherwise.
In a narrow technical sense you are right.
But in common use, the word "autopilot" has come to mean all the automated systems that work together to fly an aircraft with little or no involvement of the pilot.
"Autopilot" has taken on another meaning which makes it even more dangerous in this situation:
Noun 1. autopilot - a cognitive state in which you act without self-awareness; ''she went about her chores on automatic pilot''; "she talked and he dozed and my mind went on autopilot"
a state lacking normal awareness of the self or environment
Gang rape doesn't pose a threat to our corporate overlords, but hacking and cybercrime does.
I'll repeat what I posted earlier.
In the American federal system, crimes of violence are almost always prosecuted under state law. You don't like the sentence for rape, you complain to your state legislature. Crimes with an interstate or foreign dimension are usually a federal responsibility.
The geek might have noticed that the everyone else was asking the FBI to take the lead in investigating the police shootings of two black men last week --- which ought to have told him who has credibility when it comes to standing up for the little guy.
15+ years for cybercrime vs 1-2 years for gang rape? Makes total sense...
Rape, like other violent crimes, is almost always prosecuted under state law. Don't like the sentence? Talk to your your state legislature. Risking a felony conviction under federal law? Never a good idea.
It used to be you had to go out knocking on doors to get people to sign your petition. Running the risk of getting the door slammed in your face. Now you just post the thing the thing on a web site where the nay-sayers won't be around to spoil your fun.
Asking this crowd for advice about Windows 10 is a waste of time.
This is where you need to go: NVDA Community Add-ons: Windows 10 App Essentials Last updated June 18. But allow me to suggest that accessibility is something that Windows does quite well and a free upgrade to Win 10 is not something to be dismissed lightly if you are at home in the Windows environment.
