  1. Can we stop giving this dingbat another 15 minutes? I mean her and her ideals read like they where penned by a 12 year old.

  2. Re:Microsoft Word was not able to load its file! on LibreOffice 6.2 Brings New Interfaces, Performance Improvements To the Open Source Office Suite (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 2

    I've been using MS Word for years, since office windows 95/98. I have directories full of documents from practically every version off office. I can go down the list here and load every one of them. I plain short story documents all the way up to complex business documents. They all are loading fine.

    I find stories like this both amusing and unbelievable. Makes me wonder what kind of weird ass format you saved your file in to prevent MS Office from loading it. I just loaded a file that I wrote on WordPerfect 4.1 on the Amiga in Office 365.

  4. It really is time that you reformed the SC. Limited terms for justices at the very least, and a much more robust vetting process.

    No it isn't. It works just fine the way it is. The vetting process works just fine. It worked great with the last nomination and it will work with Trumps next pick just as well. We don't need limits on the justices because job security is one of the reasons they can be impartial as they are.

  5. No clue. It started doing that way about 2 years ago. I sent in some emails pointing out the issue. It didn't change. I figured if I just kept posting someone would see the issue and address it. It's been 2 years so I'm figuring its on purpose or they can't fix it. But I have no clue why it is that way.

  6. Bonus question: How come poor countries can afford it but the US can't?

    Question back. How come in these poor countries where they have free healthcare, when they need something done to save their ass, they come to the US? When the rich and power need a heart or cancer treatment, they come to the US. What is wrong with the free health care in their country? Why is it when a child need a life saving operation a charity bring them to the US? If the healthcare is so good back home, why come to the US?

    It doesn't. Blockchain is one of the most over hyped technologies of the last two decades. There are some things where it might be useful but most of the time these companies are just using where a standard database would work just as well. Sometimes better. This is one of those times.

  8. The Dems latest plans to tax the hell out of the rich and medicare for all (I mean, who would argue against that except the rich?) plus the MASSIVE tax cuts just handed away to the rich by trump is going to be a disaster for him and the right next election.

    I would argue against it and I'm not rich. See I know what happens in a free society when you "tax the hell out of the rich." They take their money and put it in banks outside the country. You know, where they can't be taxed the hell out of. That is exactly what happened under the worse president in history. The one before Trump. He tried to tax the hell out of the rich and what happened? All the money and jobs went over seas where it was taxed less. You see, the rich don't have piles of money laying in big building where the jump off diving boards into. They have it rolled into companies and invested. When you tax the hell out of it they just take it overseas. An that is exactly what happened under obama.

    When Trump came in, even before then, he was promising to reduce the tax rate and look what happened. All the rich, and companies, brought their money home and started investing again. An what do we have now? The lowest unemployment rate in decades. A booming economy. I'm not rich and for the last two years I actually got a tax refund. This years was almost double what last years was.

    You people need to stop believing bullshit Ocasio-Cortez is peddling. She is a god damn dingbat and she doesn't have a clue what she is talking about.

  9. You keep saying that. It's like if you keep saying it, it will be true. Silly democrats. Reality is a good place, you should try it some times.

    Don't you love it how when one certain political party that lost a certain election int 2016 thinks that they can change the rules. Let us be clear, here are some things that are not going to happen.

    The Electoral College is not going any where, period.

    There are NEVER going to be more than 9 justices on the supreme court, period.

    Trump is not going to be impeached and removed from office, period.

    You lost the election in 2016, you are not going to change the rules because you don't like them. Just to make sure we understand one more thing. You are not going to win in 2020 ether. So get over it and try to do better next time.

    What you have is a view on how the law is supposed to work. Not how it actually works today. The worse administration in history, the one before the current, made it common practice to try to bring federal charges up when things didn't go the PC way in state court.

    B) Move the schedule up with Ye Olde Pipewrenche.

    This is the 21st century, nobody is going to take pipe wrench to your ass. For one it leaves to many marks. Modern techniques use low voltage and work it up from there. Just as good as a pipe wrench but leaves lots of room for possible deniability. No marks when done by a professional

  13. It doesn't matter which way this goes it means nothing outside of Indiana. The FBI can still work you over till you crack. They will just hand it over to the federal government if they can't get you to unlock it. Then it doesn't matter what a Indiana court says.

    This needs to go to the Supreme Court so this can be dealt with once and for all. But the way the current court is stacked I'm not betting it would go the way it should go.

  16. Because those with the oldest UID have been on /. longer than some of you have been alive. They remember Katz and discussions of the Columbine tragedy and shit like that.

    I heard this story before but it was a bunch of hippies. They bought a van with cruse control. Lead hippie pointed the van to the open highway, hit cruse control, and went to back of the van to hit the bong with his friends.

    None of these are "authoritative" sources of course but they are steps on your road to the truth. I suggest you do a little bit more research on your own now.

    Living under Chinese control isn't easy but for the typical Tibetan they are a world better off than under the dalai lama. Under Chinese rule the typical Tibetan has access to modern medicine, education, and the ability to advance in society. Under the dalai lama the peasant class had none of this.

    Indeed it was. That was probably one of the best bitch slaps I've seen on film. I will have to think about giving Bollywood movies a better chance. I really couldn't take that fight scene seriously, but I have the feeling that I wasn't supposed too. That being said I was far more entertained watching that few minutes that all the Hollywood dreck that has come out last year.

    I'm not sure they where that clueless. Their business motto was probably along the lines of, "Lets toss this out there and milk the masses for as much free money as we can before they shut us down." I doubt any one, other than those that bought it, though that this was legal.

  21. Only one China? Wonder what the Dalai Lama

    Who gives a shit what the Dalai Lama thinks? I suggest you do some research into what life was like under the 'Lama's' before China. For the average peasant it was a living hell. Don't buy that love and peace bullshit that shaved hippie is peddling. All he wants is his power base back so he can rule Tibet with an iron fist. Just like his predecessors did.

  25. Wouldn't matter if it was a good ideal or a bad one. Once a normal person reads something like "urine bricks" in some thing like this, then its over. Once they get this far and read something as stupid as this then they usually stop reading and completely disregard the whole ideal.
