Imagine that the country is a bus. You happen to think that the bus diver is going in the wrong direction. Luckily, we're going to get a new bus driver. One (Hillary) essentially will continue down the path you think is wrong. The other one (Trump) promises a new direction but seems to want to steer the bus off the road entirely and off a nearby cliff.
I just HAVE to Godwin this: What if this bus is heading to Auschwitz? Better to go off the cliff...
Anyone who could testify against her ends up shooting themselves in the back of the head with their hands tied behind them. It's really weird how that keeps happening.
That was suicide, just like the police said. It is also funny how Neil Bush is no longer mentioned in connection with the Savings and Loan scandal anymore.
It is almost like there are untouchables in this country and that it does not depend strictly on political party affiliation. Odd that.
Editors, can we please not publish click-bait non-news like this? I'd like to downvote the whole damn story.
I am glad they posted this. Now, if any people I run across start a conversation about Hillary's health, I can debunk it authoritatively because many of the good folks here have caught on to how bullshit it is.
Again, for all of you naysayers, you DO NOT HAVE TO READ OR COMMENT on every "article" that is published. You have the right to completely disregard a story if you want. As long as good stories are not swamped out by bad ones, why should you care at all if there are a few "oh my god this should never have seen the light of day" stories?
I am a bit alarmed firefox v48.0.2 didn't seem to complain that the certificate passed wasn't the same as the certificates my site has pinned. I wonder if this is a configuration issue on my end or if I'm misunderstanding the way key-pinning should work.
This is the comment that deserves +6 Informative this year. Thank you.
Perhaps the typical Fat Dumb American are actually intelegent people who cannot find work to match their potential.
Dude. I just could not read the rest of your comment. You start with broad categorization issues and proceed to misspell intelligent all in the first grammatically incorrect sentence.
You may have had something intelegent to say but fuck me. I couldn't get to it.
(sorry about being pedantic, it is not my normal mode)
And you know what, we are fine. Unless we are waiting for an asteroid strike, the zombie apocalypse or some other shit that collapses human civilization, we will be fine.
As a child, I wondered why the average person did not know this stuff. It forces us to be dependent on others if we do not know it... as an adult, it seems like a conspiracy. How can you be free if you are ultimately dependent on society for your survival?
Don't get me wrong, I think the benefits that society brings are extremely useful and desirable; however, I should have the ability to say, "fuck off" without dying.
The only people in the world who care about this data are people who sell devices to aid the activity. Whereas with my banking data, it is not only people who sell banking services that might want to steal it!
Try running for office and your "masturbation" details will be released. Oops.
For myself, I would not care if you used a vibrator or not but there are hundreds of thousands of mouth-breathers out there who do care.
While your argument is sound, my experience says that there must be more to it than that.
I had a 99 Saturn SL1. At 65mph it averaged, roughly 34mpg. At 80mph, it averaged roughly 38mpg. These numbers are from memory but they are roughly correct. It surprised me greatly to discover these numbers.
How can this be? I am unsure. Possibly something to do with gearing and RPMs. Weird, but empirical data outweighs theory every time.
One, the diagnostic phone home, is again on and takes a registry hack to turn it back off again.
Why would even bother? It is clear that the operating system is hostile to your interests so how can you be certain that hacking registry keys is making it behave the way you want it to behave?
I have completely and utterly severed myself from Microsoft in my personal life. There is nothing that is offered on that platform that is worth using that operating system. Granted, it took me reassessing why I used computers at all for me to be able to make such a choice, but just wow; how can anyone willingly participate in what Microsoft is shoving down our throats? It is better to not use computers at all.
I use Linux exclusively now because of Windows 10. I use Steam for games. The games I play are fun.
All is not well in the Linux+Steam world however...
The interface for finding games is utter shit. I have never seen Saints Row or Tom Raider despite going through dozens of "pages" of games. Steam seems intent on forcing you into particular titles and making other titles close to impossible to find. I would have bought Saints Row if I would have seen it. Now that I know that it exists, I will do a specific search for it. I hope that I find it! One would think that such a game would be prominently displayed in the first place.
What we call gravity arises from spacetime.... The concept of time moves faster the further away it is from the matter that it is part of (e=mc^2 simplified).
*facepalm*
In summary, galactic rotation curves are flat because time is faster and space is smaller where there is less matter.
Then why doesn't the same thing happen in the solar system? If it did, we wouldn't have had a mystery in the first place.
Nobody seems to take into account that time goes faster the further away from matter you are. Read my comment here please: https://science.slashdot.org/c...
MOND is dumb anyways. What we call gravity arises from spacetime. When matter is condensed from energy, what is left is spacetime. There is more spacetime near matter which causes a pressure towards matter. This is what we call gravity.
Why is this important? Because there are areas of the universe where the universe has already ended. The concept of time moves faster the further away it is from the matter that it is part of (e=mc^2 simplified).

the third-worlder isn't all that much better off than before, and may actually be much worse off if they went from an agricultural job they had some control over their destiny to a dismal factory job where they have no control at all
Why did they switch from the former to the latter then? (And if it wasn't their own choice, what forced them to do it? Honest question, not rhetorical).
In England, back in the old days, it was done by kicking the peasants off of the land that the peasant did not own. Either starve or go to work in the new factories.
The FBI agents refused to deal with her lawyer, and intimated that they would pick her up off the street to interrogate her without a lawyer present.
That is... scary. Terrifying really. Being forced, by "agents of the law", into a situation with severe legal ramifications without access to a lawyer? Seems like it violates a Constitutional Amendment of some sort...
I used to have a "duster". A long leather coat that goes down below the knees.
So my brother and I were at the beach earlier that day and decided to go to Knotts Berry Farm. I got out of the car but the wind was a bit chilly so I put on my duster. I was still wearing shorts...
My brother and I are innocently walking along when I see a female (maybe 23 years old) walking with what I assume was her boyfriend... and she was staring strangely at me. I realized that with my duster closed, it looked like I might be a flasher, so I whispered to my brother, "stay here and watch this."
I then altered my path to head more towards the female and her boyfriend and when I was about 10 feet away, I ripped open my coat and said, "Bleh!".
The girl turned away and then turned back and we all had a good laugh. I explained that I had just come from the beach and the wind had turned a bit chilly and had not thought of what I looked like until I saw her staring at me.
That's not correct. Your money in Social Security is paying for today's retirees. When you retire tomorrow, tomorrow workers will be paying for your benefits. Unfortunately, 20 years from now, there won't be enough workers to pay for retirees.
Funny that you should mention that. In the early 1980s, congress passed a law saying they could "borrow" from the Social Security fund using treasury bonds. So no, you are wrong, even if you are effectively correct since the government has no intent on ever paying back the money they plundered from the Social Security fund.
That (sic) don't mind if the government pays for the programs that they care about, say, Social Security benefits
The government does not pay for Social Security. Each citizens pays into the fund and generally gets much less back than they put in. Many die before they can collect what they put in and the people who do collect, collect money that is worth less than the money they put in.
Erm. I will refrain from my natural reaction right now. You are missing entire classes of error in your thought processes sir.
Unless operating systems are shipping with electrically perfect non-degradable ROMs, it is entirely possible that the software tagged read only memory that you speak of has been modified. An errant DMA controller misbehaving due to an electrical spike for example. Obviously, the RAM itself could have failed. The big one your calculations are missing is the CPU itself could be failing.
No, the original parent poster is exactly correct. BSOD is serious biz. Even the minimal amount that is done is dangerous, but that risk is taken because otherwise you would never have any chance at fixing the issue because you would have no idea of the state of the machine when it died.
There is absolutely no reason the QR code could not be calculated without additional risk. If the space has been set aside, the kernel thread has it's own "safe" space for the stack (which it must have since also creating a dump in the swap file requires at least some call instructions).
I have mod points but I am going to respond instead: While the parent person may have sounded a bit hyperbolic, what he is saying is absolutely true: When the kernel enters the BSOD/crash routine, nothing is guaranteed to be safe. The stuff that was pre-allocated and set aside? Not safe.
How does a CPU "know" where the QR code routines are at? By a jump table full of pointers to locations in RAM. How does the CPU "know" where that jump table is? Ultimately, it is jump tables all the way down until you get to a "hard coded" memory location. How do YOU know that location has not been compromised or corrupted? You don't.
I have seen computers crash so hard that they could not even spit out their error message and the result of trying was to do some nasty things with the floppy disk controller.
Ok. Is your tinfoil hat a bit tight?
I would take a moment and reconsider your position please.
Since you work for Mozilla, can you please ensure that your bosses read what the parent poster wrote? It hits the nail on the head about the community and Firefox. I championed Firefox on US Government computers and I feel betrayed by Mozilla management.
There's lots of good new music, you just need to find a good way to filter out the crap.
That is what a DJ is for. I remember back in the early 2000s when there were tons of Internet Radio Stations. I found one that I liked and found all sorts of new music that I liked. No garbage.
Now? No DJs. No new music for me. No money for the music industry. The last new music I found was some dubstep by following some guy named SaladUK (2011?) on Youtube... but then they banned his channel. These morons have no idea how to reach me and cut off every avenue that would reach me.

Good times.
So where is this seemingly wonderful place? What liberties and freedoms will I have to give up to go live there?
I like what the USA is founded on. I also like the wide open spaces of the western states. I dislike the corrupted system.
Essentially, would I have to give up my core values to live a reasonable life? Seriously, what country are you living in?
