I'd argue the opposite. His tax returns would prove he is NOT a successful self-made billionaire. For a guy who's built his candidacy on an ego trip this is important.
All you want. The only reason Trump is adamant about discussing his tax returns is precisely they would dispel the discourse about him being a billionaire.
I've experienced the same living in South America and witnessing people i used to regard as smart defending the likes of Castro, Chavez, Kirchner and Rousseff. It was a sad eye opener.
I find the concept of media cottonballing Clinton fairly ridiculous. She was rightfully bashed on several occasions, notably during the private email server scandal.
Because he apparently sucks at being a businessman, something he claims he's good at, and make him perfect for the job of President.
This. I honestly believe the only reason Trump is avoiding to show his tax returns is that it would reveal his net worth is *far* less what he claims it to be.
Clinton would be a fucking weak candidate on any other occasion, no arguments there. But for Pete's sake, she's running against Trump. Trump. I can't even believe there's a choice to be made here for half the population of the US.
The GOP will have no one but themselves to blame after loosing this election.
Looks like the disk in that drive hasn't been removed in 25 years as well. If that's the case it wouldn't really surprise me why it still works.
The only thing, in my experience, that would reliably kill 5 1/4 floppies were magnets, even small ones. You could bend them and, as long as they wouldn't crease they would still work fine.
Because it is a very low density magnetic storage. I wouldn't expect it to be as sensible to dust as modern drives - specially when everything is optical these days.
...when things were built to last. I tried my C64 about two months ago, which had been collecting dust on a bin for over 20 years and it worked just like the day my parents got it for me. Including the datasette and 1541 disk drive.
And it's a surprise because his manner of speaking is not very sophisticated at all.
Agreed. That, sadly, speaks more about the US voters than Trump.
This years' elections are shit. Clinton would be on any other occasion a bland candidate, at most. And Trump... i still can't believe the guy is running for president. Or that there's people actually buying his horseshit.
I meant the guy is really good at verbally arguing. It doesn't matter if there's no substance to it or half his statements are bullshit - those simple projection tricks like AK Marc describe are eerily effective on some people. About half the US population, in fact.
Trump has literally talked his way to a GOP presidential runner. It's scary as hell.
I dunno, he seems really easy to bait on Twitter and uses lots of easily discovered scams like pretending to be his own press officer. His constant use of hollow threats to sue doesn't help either.
And yet he made it to a GOP candidate with the support of almost 50% of the country. Don't take the guy for granted, he can deliver bullshit like no one else.
I find Trump unfathomable as a presidential candidate, and still, here he is.
The right answer is: if you can clone prehistoric species from PROTEIN, by all means, go ahead and show us how to do it. We have several Nobel prizes awaiting for you.
Yep, switching noise is the main concern with modern Class D amps, but nowadays they just switch at a high enough frequency to make all noise easily filterable from the output. Maxim sells cheap Class D amp ICs intended for audio with a THD 0.05% and a 90% power efficiency.

The original C64 black brick PSU was indeed sealed solid with epoxy and it got warm as hell during normal operation.
It's design was also very simple: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/c64/c64extps.gif.
Agreed. Mine was a brown box 1541, but i have to say the later generations (like the 1541-II) were much more reliable.
Hell, i've recently explained the concept of "dial up" to a millennial. Got the exact same reaction in response.
Probably by a huge margin. I already had a C64 emulator in my phone about 5 years ago.

The 1541-II was (is) surprisingly rugged. It didn't have the overheat and head alignment issues that plagued the original 1541.

This. Trump may be very (not nice) things, but the guy literally wrote the book on negotiation. He's got this stuff down to an art.
Thats pretty much throwing the towel and admiting "hey, we just can't get security right".
But not in C/C++. No sir.
Not exactly. Assembly translates directly to machine code - it's a human readable representation of CPU opcodes.
Sure. That's why i am totally unable to listen MP3 music on my phone while using other apps - or none at all.
1080p videos on YouTube have audio transcoded to 192kbps AAC, which is generally regarded as indistinguishable from CD quality.
