...he's doing it to help persuade Donald Trump that it's something he needs to take seriously.
We can add that to the list of things Trump needs to take seriously. He said (tweeted) the Electoral College is a "disaster" and, for months, said the election was "rigged", but that's apparently all okay now because he won. The man can't keep even the things he's said straight and seriously.
Hillary lost because of real news about how she was a terrible candidate, not because of fake news or hate speech or the Russians or any other conspiracy theory.
The other day, Jordan Klepper (The Daily Show) interviewed a Trump supporter about Trump picking insiders and banking executives for the various Cabinet and agency positions (with regard to his promise to "drain the swamp") and the guy being interviewed said, (paraphrasing) "Well, you want the best qualified people for the jobs, even if they have questionable things in their past." Jordan replied, "I think that was Hillary Clinton's entire platform."
Hillary might not have been a great candidate or universally likable, but don't pretend that there wasn't (and isn't) any fake news and/or hate speech about her being circulated by conservatives and Republicans or that those things didn't have any affect on people's opinions and election decisions.
And, seriously, how hard is to remember to unload your weapon before packing it?
Actually the rest of the world wants to know why you fly with a gun in the first place.
I was wondering that myself (I don't own a gun), but then realized that there are some valid reasons - you're a LEO, or going: hunting, to a gun convention, etc... But if it's because you think you're going to get mugged at Disney World, then no.
They're reporting they found 33 loaded firearms in carry-on luggage in one week, and remind readers that gun-carrying passengers "can face a penalty as high as $11,000. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home."
... muh freedoms!

When traveling, comply with the laws concerning possession of firearms as they vary by local, state and international governments.
Declare each firearm each time you present it for transport as checked baggage. Ask your airline about limitations or fees that may apply.
Firearms must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided container and transported as checked baggage only. Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock.
Firearm parts, including magazines, clips, bolts and firing pins, are prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
Replica firearms, including firearm replicas that are toys, may be transported in checked baggage only.
Rifle scopes are permitted in carry-on and checked baggage.
Ammunition
Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. Read the requirements governing the transport of ammunition in checked baggage as defined by 49 CFR 175.10 (a)(8).
Small arms ammunition, including ammunition not exceeding.75 caliber and shotgun shells of any gauge, may be carried in the same hard-sided case as the firearm.
I won't prevent people from saying... "We ran our benchmark test against several database engines, and Oracle performed the worst (trust us) . Unfortunately we are unable to post their results, but here is how everyone else did..."
And post a table of results leaving the row on which the Oracle name/data would be blank. Pretty sure they can't keep you from simply implying things...:-)
If not, the employee will be judged to have not sufficiently improved, no matter how they actually perform, and at the end of the EIP deadline they are let go for cause.
One of the companies I worked for tried that with me here in Virginia when a new manager came in and replaced people. The unemployment application form had the following question: "Were you performing your duties to the best of your abilities?" I checked "Yes" (which was true). Got my unemployment benefits.
Pop quiz: what do you get when you boil perchlorates? Answer, in case you didn't know: hydrochloric acid vapours. And that's just the start of problems you're going to have.
And it's not just perchlorates in there. There's arsenic, hexavalent chromium, you name it.
The network connection was among other rules the former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency broke because he found them to be "stupid," including sometimes sneaking out of a CIA station in Iraq without authorization and sharing classified information with NATO allies without approval,...
If I had a nickel for every rule or person I thought was stupid but had to follow anyway I could retire by now, but, like it or not, that's the job. Sure, at a certain level, it's also your responsibility to point things out and make recommendations, but if they are ignored, declined or overruled then you gotta live with it.
Every week there is at least one article in the news about a Lab "battery breakthrough."
Wake me up when someone actually manufactures something.
It's worse than that as this not about an actual battery breakthrough, but about a method of observation that might allow a breakthrough.
By observing the lithium ions in the electrolyte, research and development dollars can be spent on preventing the bunching that degrades battery performance.
Toyota believes its breakthrough can improve electric vehicle range by up to 15 percent and improve the battery's life simultaneously.
So this is more akin to saying that space travel can be improved by some breakthrough in Physics that could lead to the development of a working Warp Drive.

Indeed. Here's my prediction for the future: it won't work, until it does.
And didn't Edison quip something about, I just discovered 10,000 ways not to invent the electric light bulb...
And I believe Tesla replied, "If Edison had thought more clearly, he wouldn't have had to work so hard."
It actually seems like a pretty reasonable employee gift to me.
It's weird of them to not give their employees some of their own products though, make employees happy, and get people talking about the stuff.
Remember... Working for Google is the greatest gift of all.
Two questions: (1) A telecom provider can push phone updates? (2) Phone manufactures provide phone updates?
Surprised that you had to ask, but since you did... 1) Yes for Android. No for iPhone. This is Android. 2) Yes.
I was joking -- sorry that wasn't obvious -- but thanks for the info for those that actually don't know.

T-Mobile CFO: Less Regulation, Repeal of Net Neutrality ... Would Be 'Positive For My Industry'
Microsoft's smart digital assistant Cortana can already answer your queries, even if the PC's screen is locked.
Cortana. How do I break into this locked PC?
The company insists that this feature saves time and energy without compromising the security. What's your thought?
Potentially wastes a lot of bandwidth and generates visit logs on sites I don't visit.

If you want to continue to use Windows, they either make their money off your data, or a subscription fee. It's really that simple.
You sure it's one or the other? I'm betting MS will collect your subscription fee *and* money off your data.

Is there a decent GUI for developing on Linux now?
Sure: XEmacs
A co-worker has used Code Blocks (www.codeblocks.org and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...) and it seems okay.
10% doesn't seem too bad.
Also doesn't affect the U.S. - we don't use metric.

Won't look good on his performance report. "Employee fails to complete tasks in a timely fashion."
Jesus, I'm in the wrong line of work.
Hopefully someone will find them, drag them into the woods and put 2 in the back of their heads.

it nice to see, that something as a human being sick, is calculated as corporate loss.
You see... Employees are a company's most valuable asset and, um... Sorry, I forgot where I was going with this.

Why are people giving Jill Stein millions of dollars for an election recount?
Because orange isn't green.
