Because scientific theories are just totally about what part of the political spectrum you're from.
You do understand the universe doesn't give a flying fuck whether you're a liberal, a conservative, a libertarian, an anarchist or a socialist, right? It really doesn't. CO2 absorbs and re-emits solar radiation on the liberal and the libertarian equally.
Of course we use an accounting system. But I've seen very few accounting systems at the lower and medium range price level that really have much in the way of decent forecasting tools. I have seen (though never used) high end accounting systems, often specialized to specific industries, that do these things, but I doubt my organization would want to pay $10,000+ with high annual support agreements just to get that functionality. What even low end accounting systems do offer is the ability to dump balance sheets, cash flow statements, income statements and the like to an Excel spreadsheet, and from their we can build forecasts.
Bookkeeping is only one part of financial management; a damned important part, but only part.
You can down mod me all you want, but it doesn't change the facts. If the Republicans cling to the angry white man demographic, they're heading to oblivion.
I use them a lot for doing budgets and cash flow forecasts. That's the kind of job they were originally designed for, and within that milieu they can't really be beat. But going much beyond, where you have to use more and more query-like functionality is where they start to break.
Politics, even at the ballot box, is the art of compromise. The perfect candidate will never exist, and even when you think you've found them, all you've found is a time bomb that will go off eventually.
The American system effectively offers you two choices; Trump or Clinton. You can vote third party, but that's just another way of voting for one of them, or you can stay home, which is still just a way of voting for one of them. The universe does not owe you easy answers, so you'll have to just resign yourself to the fact that every choice is effectively a vote for one of them.
Trump is doomed, Clinton will be President, and Assange will continue his seemingly endless exile in the Ecuadorian embassy, becoming more irrelevant by the minute. This is his last hurrah.
Even if the polls tighten up, Trump simply isn't competitive in enough battleground states to deliver victory. He's only "competitive" because you don't sell newspapers by saying "Three months to go, and GOP candidate is still doomed, and could never catch up." You sell advertising by proclaiming that national polls (which are incredibly poor indicators at the best of times) indicate "tightening". Besides, it's pretty clear that Trump still doesn't really want the job.
The bigger problem for the GOP is that the demographic that is driving Trump is in decline, and while it's likely to start dooming them in the Presidential races, the Senate isn't far behind, and gerrymandering will only buy them a few more House elections before it starts to falter in all but the reddest states. The Republicans have a serious demographic crisis on their hands, and at best a decade to solve it.
It's almost like science needs some sort of process where research is reviewed by other scientists in the same field, as some sort of control. I sure hope they develop peer review some day!
That's my take on it. Spreadsheets are wonderful things... to a point, and then, when their developers and maintainers cross that line and start trying to use spreadsheets as querying engines, it can all get very ugly. Even if you get it to work, I have yet to see the spreadsheet software, and I was using them as far back as Multiplan, that didn't turn into a maintenance nightmare where one false step could lead to errors, or much worse, gibberish.
I think it should be up to victims of such crimes to decide whether they want to have their names broadcast around the world, and not up to some guy who is hanging out in an Ecuadorian embassy to evade arrest by British police.
Exactly. That is, after all, a very large part of an embassy's job, to assist citizens of that country when in a foreign country, and to communicate any needs or concerns back to their Government.
Assange's problems are a lot bigger than Sweden. He is willfully evading British courts, which means before he ever answers for the Swedish charges, he's going to have to answer the Brits for why he evaded extradition. Even if he is ultimately found not guilty of committing any crimes in Sweden, he most certainly committed an offence in Britain.
And immediately be arrested. Not only is he still due to answer for criminal allegations in Sweden, the fact that he ran from British justice means he'll have to answer for that to. He's sort of a low-budget Roman Polanski.
The problem being there doesn't seem to be that much to leak. Some emails were staffers bad mouth Bernie Sanders isn't exactly evidence of high crimes, I'm afraid.
It strikes me that the real snowflakes around here are all the Trump and Bernie supporters who can't face the electoral success that is about to be bequeathed upon Clinton.
I'm sure if you were a rape victim who had her details just mindlessly thrown on to the web, you would totally understand that your revictimization was totally necessary to this "war".
So Wikileaks didn't leak personal information of rape victims? I'm just trying to sort out what you're objecting to, the truthfulness of the story, or whether you just don't think the press should report negative things about Wikileaks.
Mod +1. Assange is now purely in the vengeance game, so far as I can tell, though to be honest, at least as far as burning Clinton's career prospects to the ground, the term "damp squib" comes to mind. If there's one thing the DNC document dump proved, he's sitting on top of a big pile of nothing, and soon enough I think the press will just move on.
Now wait for when it doesn't just work. Windows' device detection and driver installation has its own pitfalls.
And frankly, it's been about ten years since I had a sound device not picked up by Linux. I'm sure there are hardware combinations that still produce this problem, but then again, having just upgraded workstations that are about seven or eight years old, I can tell you that a new version of Windows' reliable "window of availability" for drivers is in fact a lot narrower than Linux's. I'll wager I could install a copy of Mint or CentOS today, plug in my old 15 year old Umax scanner and it would work, but I can tell you right now that there hasn't been an edition of Windows released in the last decade that could run it.
Wake me up when even Windows follows that paradigm. In fact, Microsoft is, at least in the enterprise, moving explicitly away from the GUI, and pushing Powershell for many tasks. But really, it's always been that way. GUI configuration tools in Windows have always presented only a portion of the configuration options, and many settings have had to be adjusted via the Registry. Even with GPOs, many settings can only be accessed via the Registry.
Like any system, whether it be Windows, OSX or Linux, everything works great out of the box... until it doesn't, and at that point the user is forced to go to some pretty daunting places. I've had enough fun trying to install drivers in Windows, or trying to solve problems on everything from screwed up profiles to getting the damned thing to time sync properly to know that Windows "ease of use" is more a marketing slogan than reality.

Apparently the science hating mods either don't get irony, or don't like how it demonstrates the parent's point is utter crapola.
The perfect candidate doesn't exist because the perfect person does not exist.

By "nobody" you mean a shrinkinf demographic of angry white men who are on the cusp of electoral and social irrelevancy.
I think it should be up to victims of such crimes to decide whether they want to have their names broadcast around the world, and not up to some guy who is hanging out in an Ecuadorian embassy to evade arrest by British police.
I keep wondering when Assange will finally cross the line enough that Ecuador finally tells its embassy staff to evict him.
Exactly. That is, after all, a very large part of an embassy's job, to assist citizens of that country when in a foreign country, and to communicate any needs or concerns back to their Government.
