You (and you ilk) like to throw the word "proven" about a lot, but it's truly just opinion. Trump has the same problem confusing truth, lies and facts and, apparently, seriously does not know how video tape works. However, he has an obvious "tell" when lying - his mouth is moving. To be sure, Clinton has serious issues too, but Trump may actually be the least qualified person to be President (or, obviously, a casino owner) - ever.
To be serious, main complaints I have about Trump, other than his racism, sexism, misogyny, etc..., and his candidacy are (a) his apparent lack of understanding of how the government works - specifically the three branches and states vs federal rights/responsibilities and (b) his complete lack of *any* specifics or rational specifics. Simply spouting words like: best, greatest, phenomenal, huge, etc... are not enough.
Lastly, if everyone who admits that Trump and Clinton are gawd awful candidates actually voted for Johnson, he would win... in a landslide.
Granted, but I'm not sure that would actually be a good thing - Gary's a really nice guy, but an idiot. But... better than Jill Stein.
Even if what you imply is true, the definition for competent uses the word "or" so, again, by definition, contrary to your assertion, knowledge is enough. From a practical point we should demand more, but even just that would be more than her (main) opponent has to offer. US politics is in a sad place - not just the presidential race, but the contents of House and Senate as well.
You should do your own research on it. There's just too many things to list in this space. Search through Slashdot's archives for plenty of discussion.
Code for: "I don't really know." (But now that someone's called me on it, I will do some Googling and reply with stock Trump / anti-TPP information to show that I do know what I'm talking about.)

All these posts and not a single positive? I've been using Spacemacs for several months now and its the best thing since sliced bread. It's got amazing defaults and great layering support. Everything is handled inside one.spacemacs file inside your home directory so you can just copy that around and get the same exact experience. I use holy mode which is just emacs bindings in the forefront. It's a great project and it continues to get better.. nothing negative and not at all useless like some very nice spammers here posted.
Congratulation. You discovered you like Emacs (or XEmacs).
Doubt it. Observation of activities in a public space is not "search". As to"unreasonable" I'd wonder more about the use of tax dollars than anything else - unless LEOs have knowledge of a possible threat.
$10 to see a movie versos $110 to see a concert, go fuck yourself, the movie industry cares more about its customers than any other industry.
Your comparison isn't valid - movies are not live performances. Comparing the price of a concert to a live theater production (play/opera/musical) would be more appropriate and those tickets are (can be) just as expensive as concert tickets.

Most modern landline phones are powered with wall current.
In the US, at least, POTS lines power the phone using DC current over the POTS (copper) line -- for normal phone usage -- no house power is needed for ring, dial tone and calls in/out. VoIP modems provide this power to the phones from either house current or their battery backup. Extra features the phone may have, like voice mail, are usually powered by house current and unavailable during a power outage.
I left AT&T because they are fucking douche bags
I left Sprint because they were incompetent douche bags
I left T-Mobile because They were worse than AT&T...and they are douche bags
If you think everyone else is a douche bag, perhaps you need to spend some time looking in the mirror. (Just sayin'.)

Could be true. Key element in MS quote: "like what has been reported... about Yahoo." Meaning, they scan your emails for *other* reasons, like for marketing and demographic information -- I'm looking at you Google too.
Bank of America still supports this for online purchases. They call it ShopSafe. Log into your BofA account, and you generate a virtual CC number, tied to your real CC card, with a specific dollar limit and number of months to expire. It can only be used by the first vendor to charge against it. You can cancel it early if you want. It's a manual process that can only be used for online purchases, but it works pretty well.

Um... Nothing in *my* post indicated that *I* like or endorse the TPP. I was just commenting on your lame reply.

I care if they are competent
Clearly you can't choose the candidate on the left. But you must have known this ...
Sorry, but regardless of anyone's (dis)like for Clinton, she is - by definition - "competent" to be President:

having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully.
I've used Emacs for 25+ years, pretty sure I'm fine with it as-is. But thanks anyway.
Does it support Parrot?
M-x jimmy-buffett-mode
My fingers do vim automatically too, sometimes when I don't even want them to. :wq
Yes, and your girl friend says: knock it off.
Also note that Emacs key bindings can help with your dexterity :-)
Just going through the documentation makes my blood boil. "Who needs vimscript anyway?"
To be fair, Emacs LISP *is* an actual full-blown LISP system, not a (simple) scripting or macro language.

From the Spacemacs documentation page:
4 Who can benefit from this?
Spacemacs was initially intended to be used by Vim users who want to go to the next level by using Emacs (see guide for Vimmers).
Also, Emacs can *already* emulate Vi and Vim so... what's the point again?
Remember: Programmers don't let other programmers co-opt editors while drunk...

A Verizon spokesperson says drone-enabled connectivity has "set the stage" for connecting drones to their IoT platform next year.
Sounds cool. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that.
For sure. That sentence contains several words that should make your ass twitch: drones, drone-enabled, IoT, Verizon.
it, likely, constitutes an unreasonable search.
Doubt it. Observation of activities in a public space is not "search". As to"unreasonable" I'd wonder more about the use of tax dollars than anything else - unless LEOs have knowledge of a possible threat.

Stresses the battery, which reacts differently due to the reduced cabin pressure at higher elevation.
