Update: I tried Ruby dbf....(this is the most significant program I've written in Ruby, and I think I like it better than Python), mainly because that library existed on Ruby. The library doesn't handle complex cases but it seemed to work ok here. The database also had some weird Microsoft Word columns; I don't know if that is common. I had to figure out how to parse an ancient version of the doc file format.
Really sucks what Microsoft did with FoxPro: they should have made it open source if they weren't going to support it. Really though, Microsoft sucks all around. We need more people like Raymond Chen in the world.
I don't think they've done anything illegal in the jurisdictions where they live (although Assange probably did illegal things unrelated to Wikileaks).
It is a document filed by a private citizen with its government.
btw, do you think 'most-disliked' is particularly indicative of whether someone will win an election or not? Could there be a lot of, "I don't like him, but I'm voting for him" mentality? That's what people are doing when they say "lesser of two evils," right?
ok, let's consider the hypothetical. Imagine Clinton wasn't running. We know Trump's political views lean to the democrat side (supports increased taxes on the rich, he was registered a democrat, is pro-choice (at least until he switched parties), is pro-gay enough that he's pushed it onto the Republican party, etc), so he could have run as a Democrat. Let's assume that he did, and was now the nominee.
In that case, it would have been Trump vs Cruz, or Trump vs Rubio, maybe Trump vs Christie (America apparently has enough sanity that it wouldn't have been Trump vs Bush). That seems like an election he could won in this hypothetical world.
Neither of them have ever defeated a candidate for president.
Literally everyone who has ever won the presidency for the first time had never defeated a candidate for president before lol. That's hardly indicative of anything.
Your post is correct and I agree with it, but I'd also bet that biometric systems produce 'passwords' that are far from random, and depending on the system, I'll bet you could in some cases reduce the search space enough to brute force it.
So, tell me, does this change that their son was a US soldier killed overseas?
Clinton voted to send the son overseas, not Trump. And she's promised to send more soldiers overseas. Of course, Trump has promised that too. There's no good candidate.

What a weird bunch of fans. I don't understand them at all. Where did they come from?

'The Met should have stopped using Windows XP in 2014
The Met should have begun the switch to Linux (or at least open source technologies) in 2001.
Cool thanks. It's a one-time export.
This is a little off topic, but I need to open some FoxPro databases. Do you have any suggestions on an API or library that can do that?
The analogy you made doesn't relate very well to this situation.
So Wikileaks has gone from technically illegal
I don't think they've done anything illegal in the jurisdictions where they live (although Assange probably did illegal things unrelated to Wikileaks).

He doesn't want to be a private citizen.
By now he could have invented something new
Probably not.
never before played by programs running on supercomputers.
Except of course last year for the same event.......
Vulnerabilities never come alone.
What I find most striking in the coverage of these events is that they are no longer seen as outlaw gatherings
That is the problem with Defcon now. It's starting to feel more like work.
Biden looked so sad during his speech. The look of lost horizons....

I thought groupthink was limited to /.
Groupthink is the human condition.
Of course. I was replying to someone who said they couldn't possibly beat any other candidate.......and obviously that's not true.

Tough to say. Both have kind of anti-economy positions.

I watched CNN for a bit yesterday, and they were talking about the things Trump said. I honestly couldn't figure out what they were upset about.
Well.......how does it matter? Neither one is going to be investing money (though they'll both be spending it, that's not the same)
I'll concede that on Hillary.
It's possible the store (her employer) still had to pay the State Lottery board (or whatever) the money for the tickets she 'bought'

That's a good point.
