    You're obviously keeping an open mind and not simply jumping to partisan-bolstered conclusions. Kudos to you! I want real evidence before I buy into the narrative that's being aggressively pushed by our media.

    Congratulations. You have posted the most interesting question in this whole story.. Supposedly, this was a 0-day hole before it was leaked. So, then, how did MS know to patch it? Hmm.

    The investigation is supposed to turn up those facts.

    You are absolutely correct. But, until it does, Russian involvement is all just conjecture based solely on Hillary's sour grapes assertions. At this point, it's just as reasonable to suspect members of US intelligence that didn't want to be working for Hillary. Or, maybe it was Anonymous, who were very vocal in their opposition to the TPP and Hillary's support thereof.

    And, still waiting for even one shred of evidence the Russians had anything to do with this. To date, it would be just as valid to suspect the Chinese or the Canadians.

    Provide ONE. Just one fact that proves Russian involvement in "hacking the election" would surely shut him up.

    The check mark is not intended as an endorsement

    But, the removal of the check is effectively and apparently a removal of endorsement. That much is clear. So, you'll forgive those of us who, while we see the distinction that mere semantics would allow for, will naturally come to the conclusion that the check mark is a de facto endorsement.

  23. Re:A mystery on Volkwagen Finally Pleads Guilty On 'Dieselgate' Charges (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting that you mentioned the Juke, because I think it's the only car Nissan makes that isn't ugly. I really like it, minus the CVT. But, starting at the bottom, the Versa is one of the ugliest cars on the road. The Altima and Maxima are both bland -- just like the Accord. Their sports cars are nice, but I guess I just don't pay much attention to that niche. But, the Pathfinder --- this one actually irritates me a bit. It used to be THE BEST looking SUV on the market, and now it looks like a minivan. And, the Xterra... yup, it's still an Xterra, waiting for a redesign so it doesn't look exactly the same as it did almost twenty years ago.

    Overall, I think Nissan has really dropped the ball in the last 5 - 10 years with their styling.

    They are far less reliable than "Japanese" cars, and probably "American" cars

    I'm sure there are lots of differing sources of opinions online, but this site lists VW just after all of the Japanese brands: So, there's a reason to choose VW over American -- build quality.

    Why choose VW over the Japanese offerings? Because the Japanese are always about two years behind everyone else when it comes to incorporating new technology in their vehicles. And, they're boring. Just look at the Camry and Accord -- how boring and bland can you get?
