I can't help but think that it would benefit Mexico for the US to deport all the illegal immigrants back to south of the border. It has to be a tremendous brain drain that their most ambitious hard workers come up here to find jobs. Granted, they ship quite a bit of the money they earn back to Mexico, so that revenue stream will be problematic. But a lot of industrial development is now occurring in the northern parts of Mexico as jobs migrate down there. I know for a fact that the company I work for, which has it's main production facility in Mexico, has a difficult time recruiting qualified experienced workers. We might be doing Mexico a favor by sending home some of their best workers.
Probably Elizabeth Warren, if they still want to go for 'first Woman President.' Bernie has the same problem as Trump, in that neither candidate is part of the sausage-making operation.
There are still companies using Outlook? Our company migrated to Chrome and Gmail and Google Calendars last year.
And, further... there are companies using Outlook that have their employees storing their email locally on PST files on their local hard drives? I find that even less likely to be the case.
The wall will be for keeping Americans out. All the manufacturing jobs are migrating south of the border. The Mexicans will never stand for Americans migrating south to work in the Mexican factories.
The 4004 requires a whole passel of support chips to do anything. I don't think it even fully sports an address bus on it's own. And it requires multiple power sources, not just a single zener regulated 5 volts.
You were leading edge, then, with that ATX power supply back in 1993. I still have a few really good desktop cases that I'll be putting new motherboards in someday, possibly soon. But the metal shell case is the only thing from 1998.
You're clearly not putting on or getting much data from your iDevice, then. Not with any speed, anyway.
That's cool, some people don't want to throw a chunk of movies or music onto a portable device and use it disconnected from anything that they have to pay for. Some of us do, though. OTG connections rock.
I now have OTG (On the Go) USB thumb drives that have a standard USB 3.0 connector and a MicroUSB connector on the opposite end. When I want to watch a movie on my Android tablet I can throw it on the dual interface drive (its a 32GB that I paid $10 for at WalMart) at the PC, plug the drive into the MicroUSB connector on my Tablet, and watch the movie.
So I seldom connect my tablet or Android phone to the PC anymore either. But it's pretty easy to get data onto it. How do you sync data fast (i.e. by wired means) to your iDevices?
The thing that would worry me about a switch back to gold would be constraining the amount of money in the economy to the amount of gold in circulation. I think that would turn gold into a really really expensive form of currency. Like an ounce would have to be worth millions, or at least much more than it is worth currently.
There's not much to discuss about DEC except for us hardware collectors at this point. (I have a VT-220, a MicroVAX, and a Digital brand PC with a Pentium 1 in it) But it should be kept a DEC category unless they change the icon.
I'm the same. My keys are kept on a spring coil of wire, commonly referred to as a key ring.
Also, my vehicle is old enough (one of the last of the line, actually) to have just a regular key with nothing electronic about it. A duplicate key costs about $1.75. It's underpowered and plain looking enough ('stripped' is what car fanatics call it) that nobody is likely to steal it.
When OS/2 came out, it supported good support for 16 bit Windows applications. At launch this was a very fine thing, and people went around saying 'A Better Windows than Windows.'
However, this retarded the development of Native OS/2 applications, then Windows 95, with 32 bit Windows came along shortly thereafter. OS/2 could NOT run Win32 apps.
It's a mistake to count on users being satisfied running non-native applications and games.
For an online-only, multiplayer-only game (as so many are these days), once the server shuts down the game is worthless. Heck, once player population is sparse enough, it's nearly so.
As somebody who hates the endgame in WoW, I'm having a heck of a lot of fun using WoW 3.3.5a as a single player fantasy role playing game. And there are other people multi-playing WoW using the same Trinity Core server that I run on an old laptop.
Star Wars Galaxies has a reverse-engineered server going too, that a lot of people enjoy playing on.
Me, I always check to make sure I can't buy the game I want at GOG.com first, because I don't like getting steam burns.

So you sum it up by telling all the people supporting Trump that they are just stupid.
That's one heck of a platform to campaign on. It's shocking how good you are at political stuff.
Does that mean something other than "I'm right because I say so"?
It means, Mexico can go fuck themselves if they don't think the US has a right to protect it's own border.
Why do you insist on making it complicated?

and find their PST file missing from Outlook.

Well, you've linked to Huffington Post and In These Times.
I hate to tell you this, but your sources are from some of the most extreme and biased anti-Trump media outlets.
Try a little more balance, if you can.
The wall will be for keeping Americans out. All the manufacturing jobs are migrating south of the border. The Mexicans will never stand for Americans migrating south to work in the Mexican factories.
Trump won't tank the country.
But if it infuriates whack jobs like you to think he might, that's a good thing.
That 'same CPU' has always come in many flavors and variants.
Apple has deliberately chosen lesser variants in a number of recent hardware refreshes. For example, in the Mac Mini.
The iPad won't even run two-versions-old Photoshop.

So what do you care about?

But if you go back to iPhone, the maps will lead you out onto an active airplane runway.
Or was it into a live volcano? I can't remember the details....
Except, wasn't the whole Jennifer Lawrence naked photos scandal all about images leaked out of an iPhone? Wasn't it images on an Apple cloud drive??
And there have been a rash of 'leak' incidents and issues just since the start of this year.
All I want to know is why the category icon for this article is a proportionally mangled copy of the old D.E.C. logo?
Maybe we are all thought by the Slashdot operators to be IBM executives from the 1970s, and so the DEC logo is meant to symbolize Fear.

Businesses aren't required to scan the notes' serial numbers, though. So cash is really anonymous. Still, anyway.
Also, as long as individuals weren't required to scan serial numbers when exchanging currency, an anonymous cash economy could always still exist.

But that would void the warranty.
Likely, it would also constitute 'holding it wrong.'
