Here int he USA we have a major problem. WE allow the very uneducated to be the ruling class, this causes tons of laws that are absurd and applied badly.
Worse than that, we actively vote them into office.
Of course, they are "under her control": if she had told them to increase security, they would have done it. And, of course, the staff and experts that slosh around her campaign and the DNC are likely later to get involved in her administration.
Clinton does not run the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz does - at least until the end of the convention. About 30 minutes ago, she announced she will be resigning because of this issue. Furthermore, the head of the Democratic Party is, at the moment, President Obama but, unless the duties for POTUS have changed and Obama has taken a Learning Annex course in computer system administration I don't know about, I'm sure he doesn't spend his days monitoring server logs at the DNC.
Certainly someone is directly responsible for not adequately protecting the DNC email systems, but it's not Clinton (or Obama). Ms. Wasserman Schultz had managerial responsibility and is owning up to the failures of this issue.
But, please continue to believe whatever fantasies you want about how things work.
I'm simply anti-Clinton because I think she is incompetent, deeply corrupt, and dangerous.
Do you really need to have this spelled out for you? She couldn't even protect E-mails... [remainder omitted because it's even more stupid]
Do you? The systems at the DNC do not belong to her and are not under her supervision or control. The DNC is a private organization:
The DNC is composed of the chairs and vice-chairs of each state Democratic Party committee and over 200 members elected by Democrats in all 50 states and the territories. Its chairperson is elected by the committee. It conducts fundraising to support its activities.
Jesus, can you be anymore ignorant and/or partisan.
If anybody outside the Democratic party can leak these E-mails, then Hillary didn't take sufficient care of them and can't be trusted with national security secrets. Thanks, Hillary, for confirming this once again.
They were stolen from DNC systems. They contain email related to the election not national security issues.
... discuss reports that Russia had hacked into systems at the Democratic National Committee.
Side note: some years ago I went to a class by an "expert" who said that code should be so clear it never needs comments (sort of okay so far) so therefore code should never have comments in it (I walked out at that point).
Comments describing exactly what you're doing should be relatively unnecessary. However, comments as to *why* you're (not) doing something or how you're doing something, especially if it's non-obvious and/or "clever" are always appropriate. Code is changed for many reasons. Commentary can help understanding of various facets in various ways.
Personally, I think clear logic and consistent style are most helpful for both coding and commenting. Most people should be able to skim your code and have a general understanding of what's going on and why. I always try to write my code so that more junior people (and, quite frankly, even more senior people) on our team will be able to learn from my examples and work with what I've written. (You know, in case I get hit by a bus tomorrow.)
So glad they captured this foreign copyright infringer -- making the World a *much* safer place for everyone. Now maybe the Feds can finally spend some time on this "people keep killing other people" thing that seems to be going on here in the US and, I hear, other countries.
Companies are forced to spend billions on this regulation, the costs of which they immediately pass on to consumers, all based on fantasy and a badly-written law. Gee, I'm sure glad we never tried this with healthcare!

... after it received a stark warning from the Motion Picture Association, representing Hollywood's major studios.
Take it down or Michael Bay will make a movie about you.
4. Morality is hard ...
Morality is easy, if you're not a selfish, self-centered dick. Think "golden rule" not "golden parachute".
Hillary to the left of me, Trump to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle getting screwed.
Bridging the gap, I guess your only real choice is which way you want to be facing...
[ You're all welcome for that imagery. ]
It doesn't matter HOW pointers are taught, they are inherently unsafe.
And your point? Many, many things are "unsafe". Blah, blah, blah [Either you know where I'm going with this, or shouldn't be reading /. ...]
C is just a glorified macro assembler. Real programmers use butterflies anyways.
Nice. 'course, there's an Emacs command to do that: C-x M-c M-butterfly
[I actually have that comic taped to my door.]
People struggle with pretty much every language, it's just that the bugs are different in each.
They're not "bugs" but features. Like languages, some are more popular than others. :-)

Why he didn't go for the shorter and catchier #JackHack, we'll never know.
Saving that for when headphone jacks disappear from smartphones.
You sold all the crude oil to the world. Now suffer the consequences of global warming.
They were selling, we didn't have to buy, so I think the responsibility rests more with those that bought and burned all that oil.
In related news, oil also comes from other areas of the Earth.
I'm still hoping that Clinton will have a stroke on the campaign trail,
Nice. You're a real stand-up human being.

Have fun voting for Trump...

Donald Trump's son later responded, "They'll say anything to be able to win this."
Ya, *they*.
I've had to find the "sweet spot" on an untold number of 3.5mm jacks.
Well... Your partners say you try to find it and give you an "A" for effort.
This means an eye could theoretically be plucked from someone's head and presented to an iris scanner.
Minority Report - duh.
I see a lot of programmers try to cram as much as possible into one line, which I'm not a fan of.
Me neither. Especially if you ever have to run it through a line-oriented interactive debugger like adb or gdb. (I'm old.)

This is journalism 101 type stuff.
Ha, you used the word "journalism" on /. - funny.
The references make sense if they're related subjects, but the only connection is 'scientists' this time.
Could be the "fast-spreading tectonic plates" as that's the best place to drill for milk.
Yes, but it had to shoot first.
Well, draw first anyway.
Not sure why you've gotten modded down, because your post is quite correct.
Welcome to /.
If you fall behind on your loan re-payments, you still get Free Shipping, but must use the "No Rush Shipping" option and forgo the promotional credit.
