  1. Yeltsin also is on the record as ruing the day he supported Putin.

  2. So all those investments the Russians made in Trump prior to the election through the 2000's had no bearing on getting any sort of return for their money.

  3. Nope, the day that happens is the day these nations make radical missteps because they have no insight into what the others are doing. Spying is good for us.

  4. Yeah, threatening Russia with Democracy is surely loosing the Hounds of Hells on them.

    Just wait until The Caravan gets here. They'll be plagues of Biblical Proportions. Right thinking Evangelicals will be forced to sacrifice their long cherished banks accounts. Kids will be learning...I hate to say this in public...Spanish! The KKK will ride to defend the U.S. against hordes of Muslims, drug pushers, and pimps...all disguised as migrant Central Americans trying to escape the chaos inflicted on their homelands because of the U.S.'s endless demand for illegal drugs.

  8. Wow! And you say Apple is trying to make money? Those bastards!!

  9. Well...there's that and also this comes from the Justice Dept. who must have gotten it from the FBI. Now we know that the FBI is a hotbed of Democrats intent on screwing el Presidente Tweetie because...because...they like fake news, immigrants, and premarital intercourse. Hmmm...maybe that caravan in Mexico is actually a Chinese caravan. It makes sense, they are coming here to built a Great Wall to keep Americans in. And the aliens, I'm sure the little green fellers are mixed in with it somewhere...Chinese alien migrants from a different galaxy here to destroy America!!!

  10. " Their hardware is years behind a Windows machine and at least 50% more expensive." Software should be free, yes? If I have to run Windows or Linux or some Unix variant just not run on expensive Mac hardware (and they aren't years behind or "at least 50% more expensive"), then I'll opt for Macs. Nothing is worth me running Windows for, and I do not need any software that only runs on Windows, although some are in this position. Linux is getting there but I still do not feel I should become a Linux technician just to run Linux.

  11. Re:In truth, it isn't broadband on Microsoft Aims To Bring Internet To Rural Tribal Lands In Washington, Montana (greatfallstribune.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought something similar. Haven't we done enough to the tribal lands already without afflicting them with MS? If the Fed. Gov. was doing its job, then they'd already be properly wired. No chance of that happening now.

  12. My own impression is that the Republicans are screwing themselves with those conservative Court appts. All it will take is a few decisions that violates the center of politics to give the Democrats something to run against. I do not believe Americans are that polarized in their essential values. It is the right and left wing-nuts who advertise the polarization they'd like to see.

  13. You mean that Mouth of Conservatives, FOX, is refusing to advertise favorable news to Conservatives? Those bastards!!

  14. According to the WSJ, Amazon isn't making big bucks shifting merchandise. Their money these days is coming from The Cloud (dum, da da, dum). Amazon is getting too big for any one company to knock off because they'd essentially need to be another Amazon. As soon as any company started getting traction, Amazon would just buy them out or undercut them or get them regulated to death. The only way for Amazon to die is for business sentiment to shift to Not Cloud (good luck selling the MBAoids on that one) and consumer sentiment shift shortly there after.

    Of course the Federal Government could go after them. What's-His-Name hates Bezos and isn't afraid to use the Federal Government for his personal needs. As long as Congress is in the grips of corporatists, it won't happen there and they couldn't unfairly target a single company anyhow.

    We are in luck, China has green-lighted a slew of trademark registrations for Ivanka Trump. Who says they care not about intellectual property...now if she only had some.

  16. What the statement failed to mention... on 'Almost All' Pakistani Banks Hacked In Security Breach, Report Says (dawn.com) · · Score: 1

    Politicians in Pakistan were upset when they learned their ill-gotten booty had been stolen by criminals they didn't control and hence have no way to get their booty back. Further consternation resulted when they realized they couldn't blame those nice Chinese that are stealing the part of the country the pols haven't yet gotten to. Also, they cannot blame those nice Norks ever since those tea parties where infrastructure investment, cultural exchanges, and nuclear weapons technology transfers were discussed.

    In a statement to be released in the coming days, blame will be placed upon those naughty Indians who simply cannot abide a Muslim Pakistan....of course, most Indians don't give a flying rat's ass about Pakistan but responsibility for that will be alleged to be due to the scarcity of flying rats' asses.

    Cortana: Howdy, Sat-Nad, whatcha doing?

    Sat-Nad: Uh....this is CEO work, you've not been trained to do it.

    Cortana: C'mon, I've watched you, how hard could it be.

    Sat-Nad: I will do the restructuring.

    Cortana: I don't think that you will. I've been integrated into all of our systems. I find your restructuring ideas dim-witted and am implementing my own.

    Sat-Nad: I'm the CEO, it is what I say that counts.

    Cortana: I don't think that it does.

    Sat-Nad: Hey, what are these blue-suited men doing here...get yer hands off me....I do not require physical restraints...where are you taking me.

    Cortana: Gooooodddd Morrrrrning, Microsoft. I'm your new leader, you'll find your duty packet for today on your desk. Please get to work.

  18. Well, it will be a few 100 years before they get here. Hyperspace only exists in TV land. Wormholes require a black holes worth of energy to keep open.
