No, and neither have I forgotten the Pfizer donations to Hillary Clinton that are thousands of times more significant than this email storm in a teacup.
It's the same thing a couple of dozen times then instead of thousands of times. Even once is a problem. After that it's just part of the same problem.
People should go after what looks like Hillary committing real crimes instead of being one on a long list of people who are part of a poor IT practice.
Colin Powell did exactly the same thing with his email. The problem here is making a huge deal out of something that was not considered anything worse than poor practice at the executive end of town. Those with powerful connections, such as those two, were considered above the rules applying to mere Peons.
Yes neither of them should have done it but both parties like to take an almost Feudal approach despite George Washington revolting against a King.
Of course not, she's Hillary Fucking Clinton, and laws are only for those who don't have powerful connections and lots of money.
Actually Colin Powell did exactly the same thing with his email and it was not seen as a big deal. Sarah Palin did something similar, it was seen as a big deal for a while and then it fizzled out.
I'm actually astonished that people were making such a huge fuss about this despite the Manning leak listing far worse stuff about Clinton and the Pfizer bribe should have been taken ten times more seriously than the email thing.
From a future president, we demand integrity, honesty, and competence
Carter had all that and nobody running since from either party has made the same mistake after what happened to him due to his integrity and honesty. It appears we instead demand someone who can put on a show.
Ford loved money. Especially the money given to him personally in Indonesia on the 6th of December 1975. Technically it was not a bribe but a donation from Indonesian president Suharto to the Republican Party but a lot of subsequent decisions by Ford and Kissenger appeared to be strongly influenced by it. Money from a foreign power influencing policy. Treason? Hard to say since it never went anywhere near a courtroom. Nixon wasn't the only crook.
If the Republicans are stupid enough to block utterly everything for years then eventually a crisis will arise and they will look like a bunch giving comfort to an enemy.
moderate Republican
Being nothing but a roadblock will get rid of all those and leave you with only those on the far side of crazy. Those who think we are already at that point would be in for a shock.
After Carter was driven from office for being honest we haven't seen a single person seriously running for the post who is going to make that mistake. You wanted people who are all show and no snow? You got them. AWOL Bush pushing his military service in Texas versus a war hero getting swift boated.
This was at an ATM so hand movement would be far greater than at a conventional keyboard. People tend to move their entire hand and poke with their fingers at the vertical keypad than move the way they would when typing on something close to horizontal. What you describe would indeed be very hard even with a row of sensors able to distinguish individual tendons. I think sensors on knuckles would be needed as well.
If that's the case, you can measure pulse with them
I've seen some that do that but they were more dedicated "fitness watches" than "smart watches"
Some "Libertarians" (or at least people who use that word) very strongly advocate for governments too small to deal with contract enforcement. I put it in quotes specifically because of the "but they are not a real libertarian" response of those who do. Koch ran under that name but is very much an advocate of having a government too small to be able to effectively deal with contract enforcement.
My comment was really about telling people to beware of simplistic and dangerous stuff spouted by people like that instead of a more considered approach that is a bit more than anarchy or oligarchy.
Yet the FBI is still using lie detectors. Iraq is only now removing the placebo bomb detectors that were found to be worthless five years ago. Anti-vaxxers are rife despite it being based on a fraud by an English doctor who wanted to sell the alternative vaccine that he had patented. There's a long list of frauds that do not suddenly go away because of the "magic of the market".
I suspect most think they will end up on top - even the "useful idiots" that never would because whoever they think would be their patron is not going to put them near the top. So much of it is so fucking close to feudalism that it makes me astounded that anybody but the plutocrats themselves would see it as anything other than a trap.
ALL libertarians believe the government has a role in providing ground rules and oversight
Except for the ones that don't. I suppose a defining feature of many is wanting no regulations on them but regulations on others - see Koch for an extreme example. He wanted the freedom to dump poison but the people downstream wouldn't get the freedom to have clean water. You could argue that he wasn't running as a "real" libertarian since he was really pushing for an oligarchy where those with the most money had the most freedom (and the ability to remove freedom from others) but he did run with the "libertarian" word on the ticket.
Outsider? Trump was BORN on the inside! Daddies contacts in the Party helped get him to where he is today. See also Reagan, he played the "outsider" card as well despite being also part of the Republican party machine (for less years than Trump has been though).
This level of distrust, derision and populist hatred was earned over the years. It did not come instantly
Reagan pushed that line HARD. “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” A lot of P.R. money has been spent over the years pushing that line.
I am worried that if Trump wins, the take-home message to most of the politicians will be "be bold and brash, appear independent"
See that Reagan quote above as to why the horse has already bolted and Trump is just someone who took home the message. He's not a sign of things to come, he is that thing.
What's that got to do with their economies ? Which is the subject I was discussing.
A vast amount. Centuries of merchants versus centuries of serfs. Go speak to someone old from China and it's a very strong bet that they were quietly chasing after profit even while Mao was around.
He's not playing by their rules, or anybodies, or with little reference to reality, so he really pisses them off.
The rest of the world just looks on with cynical pity and says - "so an Atlantic City Gangster wants to cut out the middle man and be President, how is that really going to change much about the USA?" - they may be wrong but not by as much as we would hope. The line between casino boss and gangster may as well not be there for example which makes the populist angle with Trump especially weird. Why do people think someone who is likely to get them hurt if they can't pay a debt to him has their best interests in mind?
People should remember that he makes polemics and not balanced documentaries. It doesn't make what he says any less true it just means he is pushing a single point of view very hard. Things that do not support his points of view will not be in his films but there are plenty of other places that support other points of view.
With the "small government" approach the scam would continue. "Libertarians" take note. Being free to scam others without consequence doesn't do a lot for the liberty of those being scammed.

You are an adult yet you jump to such a conclusion so rapidly?
Hey rube, want to buy a bridge?

Indeed. Not as it should be.
Much less? He did far more than Snowden did and for far worse motives.

You people should go after Hillary for the Pfizer bribes instead of wasting time with this.
I use my mobile phone as a pocket watch :)

That's the sort of thing that happened before there was anything like the FDA.

Good point.
I have far too many 32 bit Pentium IV things still lurking about but most have FreeBSD on them anyway.
