    Thats logically impossible. No matter how many layers of failover and backup systems you have, each unavoidably has some probability of themselves failing. Even if VERY small, its still not never.

    Yes I'm saying that in a race only between Trump and Clinton, then Trump is the best candidate. I think Trump is a moron, but he's still better than Clinton.
      That does not make me filled with hate or a delusional liar. I'm doing this entirely based on the actual evidence for Hillarys continued lies, and even lies about her own lies, and blatant corruption and her selling out of the US to the highest bidder just for her personal enrichment, which she's provably been doing for decades.

    Ahh Clinton the candidate of self-serving corruption. If you hate America, vote Clinton. If you can't think for yourself and trust the media to do all your thinking for you, vote Clinton.

    Don't worry I will. It so obviously isn't Hillary. I'd rather vote for literally anyone else in the US, even Trump, even though he's obviously a nut-job, at least he isn't part of the corrupt system that's trying to actively destroy the USA, unlike Hillary.

    With Mars having a 96% Co2 atmosphere, it seems like this technology would be a dream come true for the first human explorers to Mars.

    Elon Musk said that the first visitors would have to build a propellant plant and it would take many months to make their own fuel for the return journey. I wonder how significantly this technology and the abundance of Martian CO2 would speed that up?

    Your question is irrelevant and a a non-sequitur to the claim that Windows is the most open platform there is. Open does not mean it can just run everything.
    I want to be able to at least see exactly what IS running on my computer. With Linux not only can I do that, but I can also modify it if I choose. ...and to answer your question, I just had to buy a new printer because Windows 10 does not work properly with my (still working perfectly well under Linux) HP PSC 950.

    And as for banning all muslims, why is it you lefties "conveniently" never quote what he ACTUALLY said:
    http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/07/...
    "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," a campaign press release said.

    Can you even now see the "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," part" or are you morons always gonna live in denial and keep leaving it out in a lame attempt to divisively make it sound like he meant it to be permanent?

    In my opinion, a good president should put Americans first and is what the anyone filling the role of President is MORALLY OBLIGATED to do. History has already proved that the whole notion of putting Americans first is something that Hillary cant even get her head around (other than in well-rehearsed sound bites) let alone actually do. Lets not even put Hillary and Morals in the same sentence because even you must see how absurd that is. Pretty much everything she's already done as Secretyary of State comes down to to putting American lives second for her own personal convenience, power, or financial gain, most usually but not always through the Clinton Foundation.

    Sure but this technology wasn't really available.

    There at least needs to be a way to ensure they can't just turn it off then give someone a beating or whatever.
    Maybe a rule that says they HAVE to have it turned on whenever they are dealing with the public, and that any arrest made without camera coverage is illegal/invalid.
