    > You are truly stupid.
    No you are. ACA is fundamentally broken, its just not working for the people its meant to serve and is not even close to affordable.

    Trump has said he would repeal the ACA but he will replace it with something better.

    What part of "she is already in trouble under obama" are you not getting? Trump wants to fix it.

    I'm sorry that your sister has this condition but its also not right that taxpayers have to pay 60k/year to support her for the rest of her life. (please note I'm not proposing she be left to die).
    You're totally ignoring the actual issue which is is that the drug itself is massively overpriced because current legislation allows the drug companies to overcharge to hell, often because the insurance companies and drug companies are owned by the same people so are effectively just paying themselves. Throwing a compulsory healthcare plan on top of the whole mess is just an ineffective short-term band-aid rather than a proper solution that your sister actually needs.

    >> afraid of what we don't understand.
    Not true. I did enough research to get a REAL good view of the systemic and lifelong degree of Hillary's corruption, and as someone who lives in the US yes I absolutely was very afraid of what it would inevitably do to the country.
    Not today though, thanks to Trump.

    True but I can also see the parallels. The damage that corrupt bitch would do to this country and its people as president would be large, permanent and self-inflicted.

    I love the way how you just presume that right wing sites are somehow self-evidently always wrong.

  9. Assuming the Americans googling "canada immigration" (though they actually meant emigration) are mostly the leftie peecee prius-driving SJW "personally offended at everything" types that apparently made up the majority of Hillary voters, then their leaving will be another win for the USA.

    Its like those voice menu systems you get when you phone anyone these days. I refuse to talk to a machine.
    They can ask for all the info they like before they try and let me speak to a human, but I just keep saying "agent" in response to everything. It pretty much always works.

  11. >> ALL autodialing systems should be illegal and a criminal offense.

    I'll go further and say that any unsolicted marketing calls should be illegal, as should be spoofing your caller ID.

    It boggles my mind that phone companies haven't already been ordered to provide the caller's number themselves rather than allow the caller to do so.

    Truth is difficult to pin down. In some cases truth is legitimately subjective.
    A browser like this would inevitably just be another layer of bias and indirection, so the problem will just become one of "who watches the watchers?".
    For example several sites have stated that snopes, traditionally the internet bastion of fact-checking, has a strong political bias.

  15. Why not Dreamcast? on The Sega Genesis Is Officially Back In Production (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems odd to me that Sega would pick the Genesis not the Dreamcast.
    I mean wasn't the Dreamcast way more iconic and popular than the Genesis?

  16. Sure. it would be F:57 long.

  17. UTC would be more acceptable if we switched from digits to letters for hours (Dropping I and O to avoid confusion conveniently leaves 24 letters)

    No one wants to eat breakfast at 11:00 PM, but doing so at Y:00 is both easier to write and much less mentally dischordant.

  18. So now I'm actually crazy for suggesting anything that might not paint Clinton in the best light?
    Yeah no, sorry. Not buying into your school of brainwashing.

  19. Amazing how anytime I post anything that could in anyway be viewed as even slightly criticizing Clinton, it gets modded down as troll. Fucking Libtards.
    Yes I'm fully expecting this to get modded down too.

  20. I guess this is what you get when you legalize pot.

  21. The crietria for deduping emails needs to be WAAAY more than just looking at the TO:, CC: BCC: fields. You also need to look at the subject and body. That said, I agreed it shouldn't take a computer that long especially if you hash them.
    BUT Deduping is only the beginning. You'd still need to go through each for semantic content. i.e. this requires a human with awareness of the interpretation and context and probable security level of each email. Even assuming deduping reduced the number of emails to 1/10th, which seems very optimistic, it would still take months for the numbers of emails we are talking about.
    Therefore, once again I call bullshit on Comey/the FBI.

  22. > She was flying high at the time of the FBI's first announcement, and seemed to be pulling away from Trump.

    Well according to the polls she's still 3 or 4 points ahead, but apparently that is within the margin of error.

    I'm guessing but I think there's other stuff that has caused her to loose momentum. I would guess that Wikileaks and other credible sources posting credible details about her corruption and many and varied other crooked schemes probably has has as much of an effect as the whole FBI thing, to anyone that has bothered to do any research at all.

    Clearly there are a large core of diehard Hillary supporters that are voting for her just because she has a vagina, or because the media brainwashing worked, or because they just hate Trump for his abrasive manner or his silly hair or something. They have already made up their mind months ago and won't change now regardless of what new info about Hillary's corruption comes out. At this point I think the FBI could prove she is a mass murderer of children, and the remaining Hillary fans will just keep sticking their fingers in their ears and going LALALALA.

    The above must constitute the vast majority of Dems since so much evidence has already come out about her and the Clinton foundation's level of corruption that they have already successfully ignored. Mostly everyone that was on the fence is far more likely to have already done independent research for themselves so has an actual informed clue, so either won't vote, will vote for a no-hoper, or will vote for Trump.

    >> The US appears to be drawing much talent from those areas with programs like the H1B visa.

    Sorry but given the usual quality of work that I have seen produced by H1Bs, whatever they have it's not "talent". My guess is cheapness. Which, as many companies are finding out, is a false economy when you factor in the cost of all the extra delays and extra rework due to fundamental lack of quality.

    The old addage that you get what you pay for seems to hold true even in software development. That if anything is why US workers are paid more.

  25. >> Either he isn't as great as he claims
    Well of course he isn't, just like Clinton isn't actually as good as she claims either.
    My point is that the game itself has already been heavily rigged towards Clinton and against him. She is and has been on the inside pulling strings for decades, whereas right now he is just another citizen that can't touch the government.
    All he can do is to shine a light on corruption, but the mass media are openly fighting for Clinton too, which means anything he says that might actually harm her is either twisted into something stupid or doesn't even get out.
