    I would mod this up if I had the points.

    Though you left out :

    Charging their Phones, and cars. The lights and utilities and things left running while they weren't using them like refridgerators and the people and power that run the airlines, the harmful effect and cost of producing the above said items.

    It's actually much worse than that even.

    Predictable baying of the hounds from the Hillary camp.

    Too late to have any real relevance since there's been ample time to create fake evidence.

    The thing I kept hearing was "Yes, we want a woman president. Badly. Just not her." A huge lost opportunity for America, all because it was "her turn."

    I don't think we want a woman president for the sake of having a woman president. The most powerful office in the world isn't, and shouldn't, be subject to affirmative action. We need the *right* person for the job, with the most qualifications. Arguably the least two qualified individuals were put before the public to vote on. That's not a systemic failure of the electoral college, but a failure of the representatives of the parties to choose the right leader for America.

  5. Hilary won the popular vote

    Oh, and she didn't win diddly because she quit the night of the election before the counting was done.

    If you want to blame someone for her loss it's her. For forfeiting the election and walking off the stage before the final score was even tallied.

    There's a lot of things wrong with your statement:

    1. The 'majority' of those votes weren't more than the margin of error.
    2. The recounts that Jill Stein initiated became silent as soon as the recount was showing in Trumps favor.
    3. The electoral college was created to prevent 'ivory towers' from dictating the vote over the rest of the nation.
    4. The Internet and the 'social' media that exists there only accounts for a small percentage of the voting population and not representative of any demographic as a whole.

    And honestly if you really want to end slavery then you need to join a military and fight Islam. They are the ones selling people *today*. It's Illegal in the 'Western' world and has been for generations. It's alive and well in the middle east.

    Please get some perspective.

    Our forefathers were far more educated and experienced in the ways of the world than all the young-adults in America today put together. When I was young and stupid I thought like you. Now that I have a family, job and certain responsibilities I see the wisdom that went into creating America. Without the revisionist history or the altruistic ideology that I learned doesn't work. You kids have some nice ideas, but you should spend more time off the Internet learning what makes people tick.

    Good luck out there.

    I am a man, and have done this for my family. My contract was not renewed for 'poor attendance' with a fortune 100 company in Portland. This feedback was not shared with me until after I had left.

    Everyone will choose the idiot over a disaster any day of the election cycle. Margaret Thatcher would have pwned Trump in every metric.

    Many [ Insert Language Here ] projects are a great example of how focusing on short term cost savings ends up resulting in long term cost overruns.

    FTFY

    In BOLD is the root of the problem here.

    There are thousands of examples of 'high school dropouts' doing all sorts of amazing things. A College degree isn't worth what it used to be and has proven to become financial suicide for any kids coming out looking for entry level work.

      The pickings from College are diluting in quality as well as quantity. The point of the article is that big business are shifting their focus to look for those that can self-educate and are motivated to acquire the knowledge they're looking for without having to pay for the overhead of an employee's student loans and other financial expectations. People that are passionate rarely demand perks and are simply *happy* to have their dream job.

  15. They would be sued for certain. But the Govt would pick up the tab, and business would go on as usual.

    To extend what you started with.

    Text messages almost always get sent to a cell phone,

    Most cell phones are also logged into the same mail service that the ebay account will be using for the lost password recovery tool.

    Now without the dongle, one lost or stolen phone will offer the keys to the kingdom.

  18. So in other words they used information that any intelligent facebook user / developer has access to via clever social engineering or the app itself, OR intercepted windows 10 keylogging ( "telemetry" ) possibly over a wireless connection?

    If you play those 'guess your pirate name' games and their variants on Facebook or other social media that asks for seemingly innocuous information like the day of your birth or your mothers maiden name you're a sucker.

    I have an Ex-Wife that would cheat, and then claim it was rape if she was caught. I have had a few friends put in jail that way.

    She'd call me up bragging about it. Then call me how scared she was the guy's wife found out, claim it was rape in front of her. Ruin the relationship, get him put in jail and they'd become 'best buds'.

    No joke.
