    Not sure what you refer to, is it the software package "RS/1" or???

    Like who? I have never used it because the search don't yield the results I want and the indexer is turned off because it slows the computer down.

    The few times I do need to make a search I open a command window and run either "dir /s" or use the cygwin package with "find" and "grep".

    Microsoft has failed.

    The stagnant political agenda based on religious right-wing rules like anti-abortion (which should never be a political issue).

    Another issue is that the republican party want to get rid of the network neutrality regulations put in place by FCC.

    It's time to clean up the act and adapt in order to make it possible for any citizen to be prosperous, not just those that have rich parents. The middle class is dying and the republican party isn't even admitting it's a problem.

    It doesn't matter really, the only person I think has a chance as an independent is Trump.

    But I think it's good that Bernie sticks around since Hillary may get kicked out on a technicality (email server, Benghazi, money to the Clinton Foundation from foreign countries etc.)

    The problem with capitalism is that when companies grow to a few large corporations controlling everything then they set the price for both the raw material producers and for the consumers to maximize the profits, even if that means that the producers of raw material may live on the edge of poverty and the consumers just barely can afford the products.

    With smaller corporations the competition is healthier.

    And large corporations also have a tendency to lock in consumers and producers to ensure that they don't go away.

    The problem isn't really capitalism in itself but the case that there is too much corruption involved.

    Just look at the Wall Street feeding Hillary Clinton - there is a reason why that happens.

    Republicans are today pretty weak - more focused on anti-abortion than the real issues that has to be managed. Ever wondered why Trump is so strong? Well, that's because he actually lifts up stuff people really care about, and that's not only the Mexican Wall he promised but a lot of other stuff too. Bernie Sanders is also an example of politicians really trying to change what's going on. Hillary is stronger because she's a woman and backed by Wall Street.

    Don't get me wrong, I still think that the whole field is pretty weak this time and holds mostly sandbox level.
    - Bernie Sanders - Grumpy old man (Grumpy cat maybe). Not going to win any election unless Hillary gets kicked out on a technicality.
    - Hillary Clinton - Probably one of the most corrupt candidates we have seen in a long time.
    - Trump - Pretty rude, shaking up the field by alienating everyone and may alienate most people he meets. But may have the force to actually kick out some of the parts of the government that blocks everything.
    - Cruz - Too much interested in promoting the stagnant republican agenda.
    - Kaisch - Not significant in this election, he's just in to get his name on the lists for the next election.

    You won't get the president you need, probably the president you deserve.

    The problem isn't the cars, the problem is that the stipulated conditions are too narrowly defined.

    A re-definition of the conditions to cover normal variations that the vehicle actually will see combined with actual driving style would make the limits worth something.

    I can agree that php is a disaster. But visual basic is bad, and so is vbscript.

    I would say the opposite - interpreted languages like python are a huge problem when it comes to maintenance in the long run. I have seen many systems rendering headaches that would be figured out during compile time in a non-script language.
