We don't know what she did. All that we know is that which she has allowed us to know.
But the whole ordeal stinks of negligence on her part, something that someone in her position as candidate for Presidency would place a high value on covering up. And considering that she has been less than forthcoming in this situation, appearances lead us to suspect that she may indeed be covering up something.
Does that prove anything, either way? No. So unless proof is found and released, it's up to the voters to decide. (But who am I kidding; most voters had already decided their 2016 vote years or decades ago.)
It's funny... that is the exact version number of my project where I work, which is a new system under development for about 5 years now. It's been that number the entire time.
It isn't relevant because I don't accept them as an authoritative source.
Slashdot isn't an authoritative source either, but you don't seem to mind commenting on its article submissions. I don't really see your point except that you have some particular beef with CGP Grey.
Regardless, the point remains, most "authoritative sources" agree that plurality voting does not necessarily reflect the will of the voters.
This is what happens when you use the wrong tool for the wrong job.
Which was my point.
(that series didn't contribute to the discussion)
Then either you knew some oinformation beforehand, or you didn't watch them. They explained exactly the problem with our voting system, the "wrong tool" we are using for the job.
Will of the voters, you say? Elections in the US do not provide us with that information. People don't want to throw away their vote, so most vote against the worst instead of for the best.
Snowden definitely deserves jail time. But much of the information he leaked should never have been held secretively from citizens. In other cases it should have never been collected in the first place. He pushed the data on purpose.
Hillary, on the other hand, was simply irresponsible. To my knowledge none of the potential leaks have helped citizens uncover corruption.
Snowden = vigilante Clinton = negligent
It's not too hard to see the difference and why Snowden appeals to the same folks who dislike Hillary.
Sure, but does anyone actually sit with their start menu open for hours? Or can they open a web browser and browse to their website faster than clicking the Start button? Let alone open several sites and have them all available at a glance.
That was definitely true a while back. I hated Microsoft back then. But now that they can't lean on the monopoly crutch for everything, and actually have to compete, they've been churning out more useful products and even innovating in areas like universal apps. They finally found a hardware product (Surface) that is doing quite well. They've been pushing many of their products towards open source as of late.
I don't like what Microsoft used to be; I just like where they are headed today, and the fact that they are actually bringing new life into markets that are beginning to be dominated by a select few.

I'm really having a hard time finding the downside in this.
The desktop exists in all its glory in Windows 10. It will still do everything you mentioned. Tiles are not part of the desktop.
The Start menu, however, has tiles. And they can be resized; you can make them smaller than desktop icons if you want. And they can be removed completely if that's not your thing.
Tiles have 4 sizes, the smallest being 1/16th the size of the largest.
the rest of the presentation, i.e. icons, pictorials, graphs, take a backseat
Agreed with some stock apps, their icons could use work. But for the most part I find the opposite to be true... many tiles rotate pictures related to current news, social media, and so on, while some create graphics like the local weather forecast.
Most of those effects are for highlighting open tasks (which is why they call it the task bar). No version of the Start menu has ever used such glassy highlight effects for open tasks.
You'll be able to uninstall, until there's one they don't want you to uninstall. You'll be able to delay, until there's one they don't want you to delay.
It doesn't surprise me that this would turn into FUD. When you can't find a good argument, make one up.

I implied nothing of the sort. The fact that you inferred it is on you.
All I said is that she is a politician, and she will do as politicians do.
You can never truly know if something is secure. You can only know that it is insecure, once it is proven as such.
It's funny... that is the exact version number of my project where I work, which is a new system under development for about 5 years now. It's been that number the entire time.
And all Hillary did was tell us what she wanted us to hear so that she continues to have the best chance of being elected President.
FTFY
I'd love to combine that with the mute toggle. Everything starts silent, and you can unmute any domains you want to hear. That builds your whitelist.

some oinformation
I swear I fixed that and it even showed in the preview. Damn it Slashdot, give me a freaking edit option.
It should have been:
Then either you knew that information beforehand

And kudos to subby for pointing out the way to do it in Chrome... didn't realize it was there.

Ask yourself: "What would happen if I were employed in the federal government and mishandled government data in this same manner?"
I have a feeling the answer would be much harsher than what Hillary will get.

Right, it is area, but if you think about it that is quite a difference. Here's an example of the different sizes:
http://www.winbeta.org/sites/d...
That picture is very zoomed in, for context the Twitter tile is slightly larger than a standard desktop icon.
So, what you're saying is...
- Users are not forced to pay once cent to obtain any of the content
- Users find products they are interested in, and are priced reasonably enough that the user wants to purchase the product
- Sellers find potential buyers they might otherwise not find
- Sites make money to encourage continued generation of content

large, fairly uniform tile sizes
Tiles have 4 sizes, the smallest being 1/16th the size of the largest.

It sounds like you are using Windows 8 or 8.1. Windows 10 has a different interface, you don't need to "scroll over a screen".
The menu structure for applications has not changed. Word 2013 is in the same folder that it would have been in for Windows 7.
Neon Orange on Smoke Gray transparency? WTH??
I can't say I've come across this. The "smoke gray transparency" sounds like the background color and can be changed in settings.
You can get rid of tiles if you want. You can even shrink the menu down to remove the extra space they once took up.
Most of those effects are for highlighting open tasks (which is why they call it the task bar). No version of the Start menu has ever used such glassy highlight effects for open tasks.

Apple is not a computer company. They are a designer products company.
Microsoft is a computing company.
You can still uninstall any updates, and updates can be delayed by months under the Pro license.
