Yep, the U.S. should air out all of its secret spy sources and abilities so people like you can get on Slashdot and be satisfied. But you wouldn't believe them even then, would you?
I suppose if you are comparing them to rich Western armies, then yes it is daft. The Ukrainian army is not one of those. I've been there, it is a very poor country. The Soviet system was not kind to it.
However, you have forgotten the exterior costs, notably the rise in venereal diseases. "Wut?" You say, you can simply use regulation to force safe sex? How would that work, precisely?
So we have increased social services cost due to johns and hookers having medical conditions, some of which are not so easily treatable. And there is the knock on effects of making prostitution an easier choice for young women in need of money. They become less desirable as wives. So we get less sproggs to fund us geezers in our dotage thus increasing the amount of taxes required to support us because we won't go peacefully into the night.
S. Carolina is also a state that sees little need for social services, being run by Republicans. So those venereal diseases will land in public hospitals for treatment. Except that Republicans do not believe in those either, thus increasing the cost to everyone else using those hospitals.
There is also a knock on effect of the mental health of prostitutes, which is not good. They are more frequent abusers of illegal drugs, another cost for the non-existent public health services that Republicans abhor. An increase in drug trade requires more policemen to keep it out of respectable society which means increased taxes to pay for them. But Republicans do not believe in increasing taxes.
Sun's problem with GUI applications is that they didn't understand them. They had a big machine mentality, not small PC mentality. They never caught on that GUIs are quite like realtime apps, and response at the keyboard and screen really matters. Their notion of creating and freeing "graphic objects" was guaranteed to make GUIs look like they were swimming in molasses.
BS. When you go to a doctor and s/he prescribes some magic ointment to clear up a rash, but it does work, do you automatically assume s/he pulling a scam to get you to come back in?
I have the Harvard Guide to Psychiatry DSM IV (I need to get V). I had to get it for some sort of bearing on peculiar grad students I kept running into. For awhile, I thought I was a strange attractor. Then I came to the conclusion that academia is simply more accommodating to oddness than business world, so it accumulates a wider variety of "clientele".
Anyhow, it quickly becomes clear that one person with symptoms doesn't have entirely this condition or that condition. Rather, they pick from a smorgasbord of conditions. So each case is different. Add a bit of time for them to water and feed their conditions (and they do), then they get rather full-blown oddness. Some have learned to do bank shots off the reactions they generate in other people. These are difficult cases to handle because they are working you but you still feel sorry for them.
The best psychiatry can do with drugs is try this or that combination in the hopes of hitting the magic one for the oddball in their office. And then the oddball's physiology is changing over time due to age, diet, or just general physical drift. So what works one year might not work the next. The easiest to deal with are those with an identifiable condition like hyper or hypo thyroid. Few are ever this simple.
Whatever, Gen. Powell was once asked the question of if America was fighting like weenies from the skies. Gen. Powell's response was, if I have an advantage in a fight, I'm going to use it. I want to win and get it over with as soon as possible.
And using Dresden, Viet Nam, and Afghanistan are stupid examples give the cost in American lives during those wars. The U.S. was certainly man enough to risk U.S. lives in those operations. The goal of war is not to show how big is your dick, something the jihadis forget. The goal is to further your political objectives, a lesson hard won in Iraq before losing the goal in supporting that camel's ass, Nouri al-Maliki.
I was at a major uni during the dotboom. Especially when Y2K was hot, companies would hire just about anyone. Some of our less intellectually endowed students decided to get out as quick as they could to get in on the feast. They got snapped up, and probably axed as soon as the Y2K bug was past. They certainly didn't have what it took to be productive. Even after the Y2K bug, that sort of culture during the aughts was still prevalent. After the 2007-2008 El Tanko, it appears to have changed a bit.
However, b.s. still rises to the surface of many organizations. Vane people are easily flattered.
The isle was called Formosa. I'm unsure why the name was changed. And it isn't because China's becoming an economic competitor to the U.S. that is the issue. The issue is the U.S. has a defense pact with Taiwan and the alleged emperors of mainland China think it makes their dicks look small to have a nation of free Chinese showing China their rinky-dink government is b.s.
Errr...it wasn't a secret done. The U.S. Navy, get this, does research on ocean currents, salinity, etc. The only thing secret about it is that you didn't know the Navy used them.
Ah, the wookie response. Look a wookie, therefore where I'm pointing makes sense.
No one is accusing Russia of orchestrating the TT meetings, except you. However selectively leaking Dem. info to their lapdog at Wikileaks is coercion. Funding Europe's hard right parties is coercion. Their goal to make the West and Democracy look as stupid as their keptocracy.
This is one of the reasons why some think of Trump as a Fascist in the sense of an authoritarian ruler who uses the state to control the means of production. In Trump's mind, everything revolves around him. This is the basis for his statement that a president cannot have a conflict of interest, there is no conflict if all the interest is his.
You aren't giving Trump the respect deserving of a Sgt. Bilko. From Trump's perspective, anything these companies do to increase employment in the U.S. will now be claimed by Trump as his win, and anything they do that he doesn't like he'll claim as breaking their "agreement" with him, regardless of whether there is an agreement or not. His followers will blindly believe what he tells them.
The CEOs were stupid to feed the troll, they'll now get screwed by him whenever it suits him.
Sure, but then you must update Flash every damn week because, and this is the tricky bit, it has provably more bugs than the code contains.
Some might call this a logical contradiction, but Adobe has worked hard on making this so. The only problem is, they cannot explain the contradiction, it just is.
Perry, who once promised to shut down the dept. for which he will become secretary...errr...well, he did sort of forget what dept. that was but we presume it was Energy, has actually promoted wind and some renewables in Texas...something about jobs he said. He also supported oil and gas....which will be a bit funny for him as another part of the incoming administration tries to get coal use up. It is important to get coal use up so that the coal industry can make more use of machines in place of people to produce said coal.
Wait until Trump wastes U.S. R&D. He won't understand its function and no one will be able to explain it to someone who has the attention span of gnat.

"Congresses come and go, but there is one invariant: they all have trouble with mathematics."
That's not saying much, most people have trouble with mathematics.

In fairness, Trump hasn't learned what the term "cyber" means. I hardly think you can then fault him for failing to use it in phrase.
Get yer ass out of the '60's.
I see. So your argument is, more or less, that advertising doesn't sway people despite all the studies that say it does?

I do know of one, my sister. There, ironclad anecdotal evidence.

Yup, alcoholism is surely the path of sanity.
Damn, I wish I could mod you up.

The blue chips will own Trump. His business record indicates he's really more or less a rube with Sgt. Bilko's abilities as a small time bunko artist.
