Trump admitted that there is something in his tax returns that will cause him to lose the election. His reference to his own belief that something in Romney’s tax return cost Republicans in 2012 was about as close to an admission as voters are going to get from Trump.
Donald Trump defended his tax returns as legal, but that doesn’t mean that it’s right. What Trump is most likely hiding is the fact that he hasn’t paid any personal income taxes for decades. Trump isn’t paying his fair share of taxes. That is what he is hiding. Donald Trump is trying to pass himself off as some sort of blue-collar billionaire while he is manipulating the system in a way that no working class American ever could.
"The BBC has been given such authority through the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act."
So, granting powers to a TV station no less. What's next, outsourcing police work to OmniCorp?
Guys driving around in vans listening to people talk in their homes like in the movie V for Vendetta. Nothing creepy or bad happened in that film, so I'm sure it will be just fine. Come to think of it, that was set in the UK. Hmm...
They could also use directional antennae to ensure they are viewing the Wi-Fi operating within your property.
I live in the US, so whatever, but I have the transmission power on my AP (D-Link DAP-2660) set to just 25%. Wi-Fi works just fine everywhere inside my house but I can't detect any signal outside the house. Suck it BBC.
In this case, GMO mosquitoes may be better than organic ones and less expensive than farm-raised, free-range mosquitoes. Don't know what will happen to animals that eat mosquitoes. I guess we'll collapse that food chain when we come to it...

The DC Universe movie problems go a lot deeper than trying to copy Deadpool or Avengers movies - it basically comes from a lack of central planning that Marvel/Disney/Sony have in spades as well as difficulty in listening to the casual movie goer.
Personally, I just don't find the DC movies interesting or entertaining. They seem to take themselves *way* too seriously and, quite frankly, lose their purpose. They often don't depict worlds in which I would ever want to live. They really lost me during The Dark Knight, when Batman is conflicted dealing with the Joker (played amazingly by Heath Ledger) who is clearly a nonredeemable sociopath. He lets Joker kill many civilians police rather than simply ending him. When you're sitting the theater, thinking to yourself, "why doesn't he just kill this fucker?" the movie has jumped the shark in a bad way. I understand Batman's angst, but there's a hard limit and the movie makers blew it.
I find Superman (the man and movies) even more boring and pointless, but Spiderman is the worst. I have no plans to *ever* see Batman vs. Superman or any of the recent and upcoming Spiderman films.
To be fair, "Captain America: Civil War", was pretty boring and repetitive too in many places and the "conflict" pedestrian that could be solved by everyone sitting down and actually listening to each other - but that would require way less CGI...
As an example, my GPS has voice controls. Very handy, except if the radio is playing at even the faintest volume levels the GPS simply can't recognize the activating words 'voice control'. Hell, even with the radio off I sit there like a fool repeating 'Voice control. Voice. Control. Voicecontrol. VOICE CONTROL DAMMIT!' to get it to work.
Oh, it hears you. It's just passive-aggressively ignoring you. I can imagine its internal computer voice quietly muttering to itself, "You're not the boss of me." or screaming into the electronic abyss, (as Cheryl from Archer "You're not my supervisor!"
On the up side, it's good practice for when/if you ever have children.
I want a ATM [only] card. Can't get that anymore. So I take debit/credit cards and lock them away and NEVER EVER use them other than as a ATM card and ONLY at their locations.
SunTrust tried to "upgrade" my ATM card to an ATM/Debit card once. I first complained to my branch manager and received her sympathies but no success. I then wrote a (real) letter to the President of SunTrust complaining and explaining the concerns I have with debit cards and, since I had a credit card (with them, that I pay off each month), had *absolutely* no want/need/use for a debit card. If forced to accept an ATM/Debit card, I said I would either (a) open a zero-dollar account (or what ever the minimum) and tie my debit card to that (since I can access any account via the ATM) and/or (b) switch to another bank.
I actually got a phone call from his office about a week later. They said I was one of many to complain and that I would get an ATM-only card. Still have it today.
The underlying initial issue, if I remember correctly, was that they were switching from MasterCard to VISA for their cards and initially decided to only opt-in to credit cards and atm/debit cards. Only later, after many complaints, did they decide to also opt-in for atm-only cards.
Please note that not everyone CAN reasonably remember distinct decent PINs for a wallet full of cards, never mind those who cannot see a keypad for example.
Carry fewer credit cards. I have one that I carry and one at home for online purchases (and as a backup carry).
I refuse to have a card with contactless / tap / NFC / PayWave for this reason, especially for business accounts.
I was sent a VISA card with the little wave symbol on it once. Found a little bump in the card near-by and "fixed" it with a hole punch and hammer. My current chip card has a no wave symbol (don't know if it actually lacks the RFID chip).
No one reads the signatures. I would guess they're stored for possible use in court in fraud cases.
It's pointless anyway. My signature looks completely different (and worse) when I try to sign on those stupid little pads then when on paper. Granted, my handwriting is terrible, but I can imagine the same for others.

More to the point what information could you find in his tax returns that would sway people from voting for him?
Most likely that his Returns won't portray him in the same light as he's been shining on himself. But, that's really only a problem for the naive. From Trump Admits That He Will Lose The Election If He Releases His Tax Returns (and other places):
Trump admitted that there is something in his tax returns that will cause him to lose the election. His reference to his own belief that something in Romney’s tax return cost Republicans in 2012 was about as close to an admission as voters are going to get from Trump.

Who monitors the monitors?
There are 60, 70, 80 year olds that literally wrote the books on what our modern society is built on.
What are "books"?
Thanks for proving his point.
It was a joke. I'm 53 and have actually read many books - some more than once. :-)

Deadpool was great.
The movie studios can claim that the review has copyright stuff in it and must be removed and they can also say that we lost $$$$ due to it.
Bzzzt. "Fair Use" includes use for the purposes of comment and critique, which is pretty much the definition of a movie review.
I cannot imagine a worse combination.

Since you mention Archer, would you know where to find subtitles for it?
Don't know if this helps and/or if you've tried it, but I literally just did the following and got bunches of hits: archer subtitles
Seems like there are some at subscene.com and tvsubtitles.net

Of course not. Peter Thiel loves children. He had two for lunch.

Even with NASA's predilection for perfection ...
Who's to say that isn't also part of the problem. Perfection has many aspects; perhaps NASA focuses on the wrong things or their focus is too narrow.
People have been convinced they want cheap everything so the MBAs turn the screws down really good.
Funny how "cheap" never seems to apply to their salaries and bonuses though.
Yeah it's a sad day in America when we need the Russians to expose our corruption.
Because the Media and the Justice System won't do their damn jobs.
The Russians only exposed wrongdoing by breaking US law. Are you suggesting the US media and judicial system do the same. Seems paradoxical.
