True but it's just one of a very long list of things wrong with that pyramid scheme. Even where it came from is a bit of a mystery. Even the conspiracy theory of it being developed by spooks to trace black market cash flows fits when such a thing would normally be considered a joke.
The amount of training they go through and how well co-ordinated the UK police system is would utterly astound officers of the tens of thousands of distinct police forces in the USA. Police training not gun training I mean - it's very different, far more professional than in nearly every US police force giving them a lot of options other than drawing and shooting at a suspect.
This is why any future tablets I get will be Windows tablets. It makes them so much more useful. Want to play a game? Plug in a USB gamepad or a keyboard and mouse... will just work
I've got one. Every time you plug in a USB device it says "detecting hardware" for well over ten seconds whether you've used the device on that machine before or not. "Will just work" my arse. On ALL other systems you pair the bluetooth stuff ONCE or it does the setup ONCE with USB and then it "will just work" afterwards - so it's no better on MS Windows.
eink's shortcomings with regards to refresh speed and lack of color capability would not be amenable to the kinds of works that I read
True, even the Jetbook Color comes nowhere near reproducing skin tones:) More seriously it's not likely to impress at any point due to backlighting making colors look more intense than reflected light - slideshow versus print.
Big brittle screens are going to break far more easily then small brittle screens simply because they have more length to twist over. It sucks. At least e-ink is starting to get flexible plastic screens instead of glass but they are still rare. LCD tablets with flexible screens may follow in a few years, but until then is you don't treat them like glass the glass breaks.
They could be another tiny player in Apple's walled garden or they could continue with their own platform, have others write stuff for them and take a cut. Remember that most games on Nintendo's stuff are not written by Nintendo. If they are only selling their in-house stuff on another platform it would be a drop in the bucket.
One positive thing - I've got to see my parents a lot ever since MS Windows 10 ended up on the laptop they only use for web browsing and skype.
It seems that one update or another or just sheer fragility really fucks things up on average about every two weeks and it needs serious stuffing about to get it going again. The thing doesn't have much memory so never should have got MS Windows 10 on it in the first place and that's probably why it keeps playing up.
Sorry folks - that's the only positive thing I can think of for MS Windows 10. It provides no new applications worth mentioning, usability is far worse since the navigation to launch many things is far more cumbersome and performance is dismal.
It's not done. Maybe come back in six months and see if it is a bit less fragile.
I like his stuff but it's so far from Trek that Jackie Chan may as well be doing it. Then again I think the same about Abrams and his magic belt movie with a Trek name on it.
So Powell sent classified material to his email account?
Apparently. So did Rice. So did many others that believe that the law does not apply to the Lords and Ladies but only to the Peons. With so many others doing it without penalty Hillary has gotten away with it.
Yes that would be required as well. The "greater than" symbol in the subject heading was removed. Criminal law is more important than laws about hiring and firing everywhere. It should be obvious IMHO that in such a situation giving notice is not required so I just do not get why the summary above suggests otherwise. We have not yet gone full libertarian and do not have to obey an employer above a state.
"The same thing" in this case is putting classified information on an unclassified network. Everything else is a goalpost shift. A lot of it has been going on. She appears to be as guilty as hell but is being left untouched because so many others that the top of the tree were just as lax with security.
the Russians started messing around in Afghanistan on Carter's watch
The Russians started messing around in Afghanistan on Queen Victoria's watch. They were pretty busy looking for oil there in the 1960s and 1970s just as Shell and B.P. were.
It's not a fantasy, not deflecting blame was a major reason why the guy that wanted to fight the terrorists but did not succeed in the first operation, and admitted it, was voted out and the guy that quietly paid off the terrorists, then later sold stuff to them, did not take the blame for that at all.
What do you think would have happened to Carter if he had perpetrated Iran-Contra and then admitted it? He'd probably get the electric chair.
He had plenty of faults that he shares with others but whether it was the cause of his downfall or not current politicians are very careful not to be as honest as Carter.
Whoever turned that around was a master of duplicity
Whoever chose it given that situation of the time was an utter idiot. It's almost as if it was deliberately set up to fail.
One of the greatest faults of the Bush administration was in not countering the lies and smears being propagated against them in the media by Democrats and the Left
So Fox, Murdoch etc are on the left now? A very mundane situation was hyped up to the max as if he was a war hero so the media saw a story in going after the hype. The only people to blame are the PR folks who went so far over the top with vast amounts of "spin" without expecting the inevitable when reality didn't match what they said.
The financial melt-down might have been avoided as well as several other unfortunate outcomes if they had been more responsive
It may have been avoided if they had treated it as as jobs and responsibility instead of prizes to hand out.
No he did not do the same thing. He used a personal email account. Not a private server.
That's not only an irrelevant goalpost shift but potentially far worse. Add Rice to the list of people with poor email security too. It's a systemic problem with a lot more than one perpetrator - besides, it's a storm in a teacup compared with some of the things that came out about Hillary in the Manning leak which indicate she is not suitable for the job.
Guys, this is like going after Al Capone for tax fraud.
Hence my mention of lie detectors which have been debunked for decades but are still costing the taxpayer money. When are they going to *eventually* go away?
The AWOL title really applies more to him as President on almost perpetual vacation than when he was consuming resources that would have been better used training someone who intended to actually work as a pilot instead of play around. If he hadn't turned up at all for his service it probably would have been better for the country. The point was really about active service versus whatever Bush did in Texas. When something like that is put ahead of just about everyone's Uncle Hank with a purple heart it's just a bit too much.
The movie "The Road to Wellness" has a bit of that from the Kellogs angle which was a lot less bogus than many other things. Colm Meaney of Star Trek and other fame is in it. It's fiction but has a lot of the real and weird stuff of the time in it.
Clearly, this woman feels that such a confidence is not an honor, but an inconvenience
Indeed - see also C-level execs who do the same thing outside government which is where Hillaries mindset comes from. The problem is people at the top deciding the rules do not apply to them and nobody being able to enforce it due to precedents like Colin Powell and a pile of others doing the same thing.
A lot of people did the same thing and Colin Powell was one of them. Hence the FBI dropping this because it's a systemic problem. It was wrong, shouldn't have happened, they are all guilty as hell, but it happened a LOT, was never taken seriously until now and is probably still happening.
If that's true he did a spectacular job at doing so. He came off as a useless trust fund baby on perpetual vacation. Mission Accomplished?

Of course your focus was on the most trivial bit. We had Bush's "military credentials" pushed down our throats despite just about everyone having a relative that actually served the country under fire.

Both gave classified documents to a journalist.
The difference here is Petreaus did it in exchange for sex and not out of patriotism.
One was a whistleblower.
The other just wanted his whistle blown.
Apparently. So did Rice. So did many others that believe that the law does not apply to the Lords and Ladies but only to the Peons. With so many others doing it without penalty Hillary has gotten away with it.

Walking out the door when asked to do something criminal is not going to land you in jail.

They are all incompetent. Carter didn't hide it. Everyone since has gone to great lengths to hide it.
