The only reason democrats have to fear a candidate like trump is if they are afraid trumps positions/policies might resonate with a larger block of voters than their own candidate's positions/policies. In other words, the only reason for democrats to fear a trump candidacy is if he stands a chance of beating their candidate [Clinton|Sanders]...
So since Democrats are 'light their hair on fire' afraid of Trump, they must think he has a reasonable chance of winning in the General election... Otherwise why worry about it?
There's also his 'stop all Muslim immigrants' statement - oddly all the news sources end their quotes right before trump says "until we can properly vet them"...
His supporters know what he actually said, and when news sources say otherwise they prove their bias...
Because those operations actually had viewers, AJAM peaked at 30,000 viewers for it's most popular shows - without viewers there is no advertising revenue, without revenue, no network.
Those "cumbersome distribution contracts with cable companies" generated millions of dollars for AJAM - they are reason Al Gore got so much for his failed 'Current TV' network.
In NJ OPRA requests can only request records that exist, in the form it already exist in - you can request an existing report, but you can't request that a report be generated.
Assuming there is some forensic report on the dolphin, it can be requested - if the report is later found to be inaccurate, the only job at stake is the person who's job was to accurately & correctly report on the death of the dolphin, not the bureaucrat that prints off a copy of the report to satisfy an OPRA request.
This request is denied as it would release information deemed confidential under O.P.R.A., specifically information related to a medical diagnosis or evaluation. (E.O. 26, McGreevey)
Uhm, that "E.O 26, McGreevey" means the decision was based on an Executive Order, #26, enacted by former NJ Gov. Jim ("I am a gay American") McGreevey.
Ultimately the decision was made by a Gov., it was the Executive Order that led (required) the bureaucrat to deny the request.
General Patraeus knowingly gave top secret information away. Secretary Clinton unknowingly received it on her unclassified email system. If you can't understand the difference, you're either a moron or a hyperpartisan loon.
She was trained to identify classified information by it's very nature - like, as the most glaring example, satellite recon photos - which were among the "unclassified" emails she kept on her server. Satellite recon photos are *always* Top Secret, not only is the image in the photos secret, the resolution and capabilities of the satellites is also Top Secret.
There is at least one instance recorded in her own email records that shows her instructing an underling to *remove* the security marking so they could forward her classified information on her unsecure email server.
Is it truly your argument that she never expected anyone to ever send her classified information via email while she was Secretary of State?
in STEM fields, science, technology, engineering and math, it's typically white men. Very few women, very few minorities, very few from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Trying to wrap my brain around this statement when large corporations are terminating their old, white, predominantly male workforce for imported coders from India and Pakistan slums under the H-1B visa program...
I can't wait till schools all across the country will start graduating students that have all mastered the skill of copying "helloworld.py" into their RaspberryPi as part of their new STEM curriculum - that is sure to fix... something.
By elevating Computer Science to the same level as other major areas of study (English, History, Science, Math, etc.) and *NOT* increasing the school year, what topics in which subjects will they cut back on to make room in the limited school day to accommodate a brand-new major topic of study?
Of course, I am assuming that "Computer Science" means something more than Computer Application usage - that they will be learning about computer science, not how to make a newsletter in Microsoft Word...
If they never fired a shot, how was "conceal carry" relevant???
If someone with a concealed carry permit pulls out their gun and holds the perpetrator at gun point until police arrive then the gun is relevant. You don't have to fire a gun for it to be "relevant" - the bad guy just needs to see you have the gun and believe you might use it.
short-term profitability has actually increased substantially since the wage increase.
the last Slashdot article on this story talked about the brain drain this caused when long-term employees that worked their way up from entry-level positions to mid-level positions paying $70K/year over the course of several years resented the new employee with no experience starting at the same pay level. The story also described how some (not a majority, but some) clients left because they felt the company was taking a political position they didn't agree with, and as a final note - the story also outlined how the CEO himself had to cut back on his own living expenses because of his own personal cut in pay. In the payment processing industry it takes 2-3 years to recoup customer acquisition costs before a given account is profitable - the company couldn't afford to lose long-term profitable clients and it will be years before new clients start boosting the bottom line.
But I'm sure you've got a source that supports your claim that profits are up at the company, please share it...
I don't know about that. People vote against their own self-interest all the time, both at voting booths and with their money in the marketplace. All it takes to get them to do that is a little propaganda (or PR, or whatever you like to call it - I prefer the old term "manufactured consent" because it's more honest). It works all too well, even in the case of advertising in which the bias of the message is obvious.
No, they believe they are voting/acting in their own self interest (as previous commenter asserted), but in actuality they are voting against their own best interest because their understanding of the issue is wrong, based on propaganda/mis-information, whatever.
Politicians often promise 'middle-class tax cuts' in the US, and millions of voters who believe they are middle-class will vote for them, thinking they will see their taxes cut... Then once elected, the candidate actually goes on to increase taxes. The voter voted out of self-interest, but the results were the opposite of what they expected.
Heck, why not the Raspberry Pi Zero? It's even cheaper ($5!) and doesn't have all those GPIO pins wasting all that board space... Sadly, no built-in Ethernet, but Options abound in the USB Ethernet adapter space...
Buying new parts will always be more expensive than used parts - take a look at slightly older off-lease systems... You'll get faster parts for fewer dollars at the expense of heat/power consumption.
I think he's planning on using the free Mathematica on the RPi to make up for a lack of a free version of Mathematica... Or is there a free desktop version of Mathematica?
As noted in the article, it is the service department where dealerships make their money. If they could, I bet many dealerships would forgo car sales entirely and focus on repairs exclusively. We had such a dealership where I used to like, they kept about 5 cars in stock, anything new was ordered from factory or from another dealership and 90% of their revenue came from repairs.
Just curious here, if I'm reading your screed properly, all Christians that consider themselves 'good christians' must believe all the stories in the bible, and since you can point them out as false, then all Christians are ignorant fools for believing what's in the bible - is that about it?
Then tell me, where does that leave people like President Obama, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi?
Remember, President Obama attended Rev. Wright's church for over 20 years, had him officiate his wedding, baptize his children AND dedicated at least one of his two autobiographies to Rev. Wright. Rep. Pelosi said her favorite word is 'The Word' and speaks of her swap catholic faith every two years when she is up for re-election.
Because paternity leave is a very rare thing in the US. You may live in Europe where this being news sounds like nonsense, which more Americans need to realize. Less than 15% of US employers offer paternity leave,
And what percentage of the workforce is employed by that 15% of employers? For example, the US Gov't would count as ONE employer, yet they employ some 4 million workers...
and that is almost entirely exclusive to white collar professions.
There are very few 'blue collar' jobs in America, our manufacturing base having migrated to all those other countries with lower labor costs (not Sweden, Norway, England, France, Germany, etc.).
Paternity leave tends to be about two weeks here, as opposed to months in more progressive European countries.
You know, a worker could SAVE a portion of their income during the pregnancy to cover living expenses when they take advantage of the federal program know as the Family Leave Act - why must your employer provide healthcare, paternity leave, and retirement planning? Are US Citizens incapable of taking care of their own needs?
If you can't afford to put some money aside during your pregnancy, how are you going to be able to provide for the added expenses when the child is born?
I got my ass handed to me for missing half a day for the unanticipated and rather sudden onset labor of my firstborn, so.... certainly not all of us.
Really? My boss never has a problem when I just don't show up for work for half a day... Perhaps you should have called the boss while your partner was in labor, or were you heavily invested in reminding her to 'breathe'?
conservatives are hellbent on babies being born. But after they're born, they don't give a shit about them anymore.
They are also 'hellbent' on personal responsibility and avoiding unwanted pregnancies, last I checked.
You may see a moral equivalence between 'contraception' and 'abortion', other's don't - some folks (like your parents) think of that developing fetus in the girl you slept with as their future grandchild, not a 'mistake'...
The math in 'every other developed country' is the same as here - offering these types of benefits increase labor costs and and reduces employment opportunities.
How many months of paid paternity leave do Foxconn workers in China get?
How much free health care do Mexican factory workers get?
When an Indian woman that works in a sweat shop sewing together t-shirts gets pregnant, how much paid time off does she get?

The quad-core Xeon version with a 1 TB drive at $279 strikes me as a better deal.
Oddly, this server includes a built-in sound card and can support 4x 3.5" drives AND 2x 2.5" drives, as well as an optical drive.
It uses slightly more expensive ECC RAM
