Good. I want the Republicans to go all in: have Roe v. Wade overturned, ban abortion, eliminate the fillibuster, repeal the ACA, lower taxes on the top earners while shifting the tax burdern to the lower and middle classes, have gay marriage overturned, everything. Make things as painful as possible for as many people as possible. Most people, it seems, only respond to pain; make them feel it.
You must be the guy in front of me with the license plate holder that said "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but Whips and Chains Excite Me". (The actual plate was 'N2LTHR').

Indeed. Those days were the pinnacle of Western civilization.
Trump is a narcissist. He wants to do things that will benefit his ego. That may benefit you and it may not but he is not trying to do anything for some mythical higher purpose, common good or philosophy.
A better plan would be to break California into multiple smaller states (say 10) based on population centers to increase the number of left leaning US Senators.
Can't do that.
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1
Carson is a retired pediatric neurosurgeon. He knows as much about the business side of healthcare as a cow knows about the inside of a church. That was distressingly obvious during his brief 'campaign'.
And it seems that age is catching up to him. He didn't sound or act like anybody I would want operating on me.
That's some tasty Kool Aid there. If you think Trump is structurally different from Clinton - other than being less disciplined and with a rather muddied view of the world - you are in for some nasty surprises.
DJI has had this problem intermittently. The software driving these things is pretty darn complex. A quad rotor has no redundancy and they glide like bricks. Lithium Polymer batteries are a difficult technology to manufacture and deal with. Just a few tenths of a volt below operating threshold and the thing crashes. Couple this with flight times measured in the realm of minutes where pilots are going to try to push the limit and find out exactly how unpleasant this can be (where'd my drone go?) and you have unhappy pilots and pieces parts of drones.
That hasn't ended well for a lot of DJI pilots and looks like GoPro is having similar issues. And it's not even winter yet (LiPos hate the cold).
DJI hasn't done a great job of rolling out this tech. The most common new poster poster complaint on the DJI forums is 'my Phantom crashed' (next is 'My Phantom flew away'). And they have a couple years of head start and dozens of firmware revisions on GoPro.
GoPro's marketing folks should be caned for suggesting the name 'Karma'. It's just too juicy to pass up.

While everyone has paper fall back systems in place, they're rarely, if ever, tested because you've then just given everyone double the work load for some period of time. Always a winner when it comes to employee satisfaction.
Also, computers are increasingly used as decision support tools. Yes, you could, theoretically, put that logic flow down on paper. In fact, that would be a useful exercise to do so you could step through everything. No, people aren't going to go do that (see above).
Especially in medicine, hospital systems are going to have to rethink their networks. It really can't be a standard Windows business-class 'works most of the time to some degree' type thing. It must be more along the line of a bank or Amazon - high availability, high security, fail over capability. You really shouldn't be able to, for example, hang around on Slashdot on the hospital network.
Nine different police departments and public security agencies were absorbing the information that an obscure subsect of militant Christian fundamentalists had just taken credit for having introduced clinical levels of an outlawed psychoactive agent known as Blue Nine into the ventilation system of the Sense/ Net Pyramid. Blue Nine, known in California as Grievous Angel, had been shown to produce acute paranoia and homicidal psychosis in eighty-five percent of experimental subjects.

It really won't take hacking into databases. Just rely on the interconnectedness of everything and the fact that people tend not to think things through too carefully.
Except that most pro photographers have cameras that use Compact Flash or a newer protocol. SD is really for consumer stuff. Still very useful and that. Pros have had to use external readers forever.
But most pros are NOT going to be use wireless to transfer 50 MB RAW files or 4 GB video files. Nobody is that patient.
On MY 7 year old MBP, I don't use the SD slot (well, it doesn't have one), but it's currently plugged into the Ethernet port. And is so on a daily basis.
It's also hooked up to a MagSafe connector which has gone MIA in the new incarnation of the MBP, I use the USB - A ports with dozens of peripherals during the week without a dongle.
As has been aptly mentioned in a number of venues, these new machines are Mac Book Airs, not Mac Book Pros.
I understand "illegal content" in the context of pornography; we have CP laws. But what about "illegal content about drugs"? A number of drugs are illegal, but is information about them also illegal?

My parents were sure this was going to be the downfall of civilization.

Well, he's still less batshit insane than either Clinton or the rest of the Republican presidential candidates (except for Kasich).
That is truly damning by faint praise, but there you have it. The best and the brightest....
Yep. (A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail.

It's Trump, all the way down.
I know! We can separate the country on the basis of Republican and Democratic states.
The ensuing struggle could be called Red vs. Blue.
A better plan would be to break California into multiple smaller states (say 10) based on population centers to increase the number of left leaning US Senators.

What kind of supergenius are you that compatibility issues with linux are "an easy workaround"?
I have plenty of hardware and software that I'd be willing to bet quite a lot you will not get working in linux easily.
Once you create an account, much of the issues that seem to really baffle AC's become crystal clear.
That's some tasty Kool Aid there. If you think Trump is structurally different from Clinton - other than being less disciplined and with a rather muddied view of the world - you are in for some nasty surprises.
As, I suspect, are we all.
May you live in interesting times.
Now, if that's not damning by faint praise, I don't know what is.
Congrats.
It's also what the Republicans get for ignoring the Middle Class.
Remember, Trump isn't really a Republican, that was Hillary.

Ah milennials... Can't tell the difference between a reality tv star and a policitician...
Funny, I didn't realize that Ronald Reagan appealed to the younger folk.....
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad .....
Market leadership is not trying to impress the couple of thousand anti social, remarkably tech adverse, cheapskate paranoids around here.
Look at Apple and Google. Billions in the bank. Billions of Slashdot posts complaining about the locked down Evil Bit setting.
Neither Samsung, Apple or Google care one wit about bootloaders, batteries, SD cards or niche software. Get used to it.

Worked for Sean Connery, sort of.
I understand neither women nor cats. Although there are lots of things I disagree with RAH about, on that we agree.
The Baywatch director might have managed that one. Although cats are tough.
