To clarify on the topic of 'bush league' mentioned above:
In Horowitz & Hill they refer to the use of black electrical tape in electronics assemblies as 'bush league'. No credible technician has black electrical tape in their tool drawer or on their bench. Black electrical tape is an indication that you've screwed up and didn't use heat shrink tube before you soldered the leads together. Tape is gummy and a sign that somebody didn't have their shit together. Or they were a 'computer operator' grade of person.
Black electrical tape is okay for covering up LEDs because it's opaque and does a good job. But it leaves a gummy residue on the panel nonetheless.
More than a Dozen sys-admins (we used to call them computer operators in the 80's) have put black electrical tape over some LEDs.
Definitely worthy of an article on Slashdot.
We should discuss the relative merits of different varieties of black electrical tape. It's called 'bush league' in Horowitz & Hill and I agree. But that's topic drift, and we mustn't have that, because this is an IMPORTANT and interesting discussion of sys-admins (we used to call them computer operators) covering up the LED indicators on equipment.
If your current iPhone is still relatively new, it will be at least a year or so longer before Apple cripples it with an iOS update designed with that in mind.
Based on the latest 'Worldwide Developers Conference' which featured a theatre full of crickets for Macintosh, the Mac isn't a priority for Apple anymore.
Actually, developers can code native code that isn't bytecode to run on Android devices. It isn't as portable, and obviously isn't something you can just toss in an App Store and collect the $$, but it's doable and the tools to write such code are readily available.
You don't even need to own a Mac to develop for Android. You can use your Linux or Windows box.
I can buy an 8GB MicroSD card at Walgreens for $4.99 at the corner drugstore.
And, actually.... hmmm, With a MicoSD card I can have a whole SD card wallet full of them with different movies and music on each and plug them in as I wish on my phone. Because it has an external SD slot. So my phone is easily expandable to half a terabyte and the total cost is still less than the cheapest iPhone.
I know that it isn't the same thing at all as having 4 or 6 GB of RAM for the SOC. But I'm not sure the commenter I am replying to knows that.
Clinton is a particularly ripe typical establishment candidate.
You can leave off the 'ripe' if you want. I advise you to make some big signs to put in your yard. And handbills to pass out to people around you when you go shopping.
Have the signs and literature say 'Hillary is a typical establishment candidate. If she is elected very little will change in Washington.'
Really. I mean it. Print that stuff up and spread word around.
Trump can't do any of the scary things people are squealing about him doing if he becomes President. If nothing else, Trump becoming President will insure that 'Executive Actions' become a thing of the past. The balance of powers will swing right back into position as they should be. Trump doesn't have a strong party organization behind him.
The toxic state of political discourse will continue if and when H. Clinton is elected. That you can be assured of. Probably the only way to end that shit is to elect Trump.
Yep. That's the only reason. Also, that's why she destroyed the server rather than turn it over to a friendly FBI that didn't do anything about it anyway.
It had nothing to do with wanting to skirt FOIA searches, and a permanent durable record of her correspondence in the National Archives.
Bitch will do more of the same as soon as she's inaugurated, if we make a terrible mistake in early November.
Remember, the first President proven to be a sexual predator was disbarred during his term in office. And this candidate, his wife, was a very vigorous enabler.
It isn't simply building a wall. The wall will have openings, entry points for qualified and vetted legal immigrants. And for buses full of illegal immigrants to be shipped out through.
There needs to be a process for legal Immigration. Let's call it Immigration Reform. And it shouldn't be based on forgiveness of illegal immigrants who happen to have made it into the country. What a way to say 'fuck you' to people who have worked within the system to enter the country legally.
Hillary is a known quantity. She's the mainstream political establishment for the last 30 years.
Say that loud enough and often enough and we're sure to inaugurate Trump next year.
Believe me, that's a red flag to wave in front of Trump's main bank of supporters.
We can only hope that the economy will be able to cope with the huge surplus office furniture and equipment auctions starting next year, as buildings full of complete waste of food fucking government employees are emptied out in the District of Columbia.
Now I'm dreaming, of course. But I'm not the only one.
The only reason I can see for looking forward to Hillary Clinton as President is that the shitstorm of hate she faces will last for either four or eight more years. It will hamstring the Democrats like nothing else could, and it's more of a sure thing to gum up the gears of government than if Trump is elected.
The reason to look forward to Trump as President is watching cranks like you hyperventillate. In the chance he could win we should set up tantrum centers at each area of large population so you can all wee and shit your shorts in a safe and clean environment.

Somebody needs to explain to you what it means to belong to the European Union.
I won't bother, though. You have your homework assignment all laid out for you.

Wireless Charging will be used to force the lemmings to ditch their 7 for an 8 next year.
A $30 CCTV camera from Amazon would involve ordering it from Amazon, and Musk's PayPal account is all screwed up right now.
You're a hater!

The Koch Brothers are not supporting Trump, by the way.
Don't get dizzy and pass out trying to understand that, lefties.
At least it creates jobs for those twits in the 'Public Interest Research Group' organizations in college.
So what? I bet they'd let Putin speak on the Voice of America if he wanted.
Yikes. A drop in 'growth.'
I can see speculators and money-hustlers in boardrooms all around the world peeing in their britches.
Tell the regular people something terrible that will happen.
Don't coach it in hypotheticals.
Nobody Cares What Wikipedia Says about a controversial topic as recent and contested as Hillary' Email Scandal.
I mean.
Get. A. Fucking. Clue.

Refusing to call it lying is lawyer-scumming.

There are lots of nice buildings and museums in DC. Maybe there's still an experimental Neutron Bomb in storage somewhere to test....

It's almost a win-win situation.
