  1. Re:Proudly on the road to gridlock on FBI: Review of New Emails Doesn't Change Conclusion on Clinton (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    You mean the one we are fighting right now with bombing raids on ISIS targets? WAKE UP! We are already at war with them.

  2. We've raised an entire generation of hyper-sensitive, easily-offended, thin-skinned "citizens" who are utterly repelled at the concepts espoused in Heinlein's "Starship Troopers."

    I blame it on Barney the Dinosaur ("I love you, you love me.....". I could not get that stupid song out of my head for years).

  3. I've run into that as well, then I made the comment that it may be unique to that personal information pertaining to the "person". I suggested to obfuscate the personal information, but not other data to reproduce. This will usually pinpoint the cause, but if the error still can not be produced, the error is most likely attributed to that specific personal data that was obfuscated.

  4. ZOMG, dang ruskies!!!

    Seriously, while it may be them, doesn't it seem that ALL flaws recently point to them exploiting. Heck, I would not be surprised if someone in China OR the NSA is saying "Watch this, we can make them think the Russians did it".

    This AC poster is a talking like a hostile chat bot.

    Seems you bot went a little haywire there.

  7. And they said their motto is "Do No Evil". The are the epitome of evil.

  8. Facebook required to live longer, hmmmm? on People Who Use Facebook Live Longer, Study Finds (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    If Facebook is the requirement to a longer life, I will be content with my shorter life without it.

  9. Re:Anti-establishment on Pirate Party Gains Seats In Iceland's Election (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I would not be too sure of the outcome as of yet, the polls (if you want to believe ANY of them now) are still in the margin of error and more are flipping candidates. In other words, the lady has not sung yet.

  10. Re:Sorry, Tim... on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Agreed, that is the whole point behind cash, it is a currency to allow payment for all transactions both public and private. Emphasis on private!

  11. It did come from an AC, what would you expect?

  12. Well we did get the proverbial "got rid of one dictator 3000 miles away to 3000 dictators a couple miles away". Unless we change you may be correct that we are fucked.

  13. Re: "Growing Demand"? on Women in Computing To Decline To 22% by 2025, Study Warns (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    Accenture is a GLOBAL company that does the exact same thing in other countries as they do here. I have seen that they will place H1B's from other countries that require Security Clearances (approx. 3 month task) for exactly that same time knowing that clearance will never be granted and just keep cycling them though every 3 months with a new batch. They also pay below market value for the skill set (slightly above what they would get for an H1B). It has never been about available/qualified programmers, it is they want cheap programmers regardless of their skill and experience. So as to why the decline in gender specific personnel, heck, I think there won't ANY females and a marked decrease in male as well if this keeps up and the US quadruples the H1B visa cap (which is what they want).

  14. Re:The Usual Suspects on Who Should We Blame For Friday's DDOS Attack? (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    So in other words, they have no clue who did it.

  15. Yea, I remember that quite a few Job descriptions back in 1999 that you needed 5 years of Java experience for positions. I was always baffled at that as in order for that to be accomplished you would have had to been on the original development team of the language as 1.0 was not released until 1996. And even then there were JDBC memory leaks in 1.0.18 in the Kiva Server.

  16. Re:Palin was treated differently. on Should Journalists Ignore Some Leaked Emails? (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    I know, it must really suck when underhanded, backstabbing, immoral activities that they have employed in the past are now being used on them. But hey, karma is a bitch, But it is especially more satisfying when executed against another bitch.

  17. Re:Resonating with Americans on AI Platform Assesses Trump's and Clinton's Emotional Intelligence (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree with the statement that the changes should be positive. But we have already seen that practically every poll, survey, questionnaire, etc. shows that a very large majority (60-70%) has voiced that the US is NOT heading in the right direction and we have NOT been for quite a while. I think that this has already been mentioned quite a few times in other posts on this discussion board. The biggest question I feel that needs to be asked is who would you trust to at the very least to attempt to put this country on the right track?

    What I see by both candidates actions in this campaign is that one candidate is less experienced, boisterous, and somewhat egotistical (okay, very egotistical) and promotes fear. The other candidate has experience (good or bad is up to you to determine), condescending, has shown that they do not always tell the truth, and is not adverse to use underhanded, bordering on illegal, tactics to convince us that what they are doing is for the benefit of the US.

  18. Agreed, Windows was meant to be targeting people who really shouldn't be allowed to use a computer (you know, "my cup holder is broken" type).

    I would start looking at who the Dems have ticked off the most. Oh wait, never mind, that list would be endless.

  21. Re:And yet on Ecuador Acknowledges Limiting Julian Assange's Web Access (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Personally, I don't care WHO digs up the information. Hackers, Private Investigators, whatever. It does boil down to this: If you're going intelligently elect a leader, you need to know all there is to know about them. There can be no secrets.

    This is what scares quite a few politicians and especially ones with agendas contrary to the public interest. They do not want informed decisions, they prefer obedient and ignorant citizens. This is used on both sides.

    They did split up old India into the current day India and Pakistan. That might be worth looking into.

  23. Re:Does anybody ... on Assange Internet Link Cut By State Actor, Claims Wikileaks (rt.com) · · Score: 2

    He is countering the MSM (main stream media) by only providing information at the most opportune time. Typical mudslinging campaign style which both sides have extensively used.

  24. Re:RT.com = Russian news on Assange Internet Link Cut By State Actor, Claims Wikileaks (rt.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump can't win now, he can only undermine confidence in the vote and his own party, which seems to be his aim now. It's not surprising that Putin is taking advantage of Trump's tantrum, but you astroturf lot need to ask yourself why you're going along with it.

    I am going to laugh my a$$ off if this ends up becoming another Dewey vs Truman statement. As most polls still are within the margin off error, this could be a possibility

  25. Here are three possible law that she may have violated. The cased I provided in my previous comments ARE cases that prosecution DID take place and EXACTLY why an indictment should have taken place. There are examples in there that exhibit the SAME behavior (no intent, but negligent)

    I fail to see why you can not see the facts.

    Remember, ignorance of the law will never be an excuse that is accepted in a court of law. Nor should it. And since EVERYBODY who handles classified information acknowledges (signs a document) they have received instructions on said handling (refer to prior ignorance statement) the excuse for the determination was NOT applied equally (e.g. they let her skate)

    Intent or no, gross negligence (see Title 18, US code 793 section (f)) IS a prosecutable offense that is why Comey did not explicitly state there was negligence, just "extreme carelessness".
