As a professional comedian/cartoonist. There is a seriousness inside his joke. He may or may not be really endorsing any candidate. But using absurdness of endorsing to point out problems. Over the past generation or so. We have been equating a person's personal ethics and their stance as a human being based on their political and who they vote for.
Studies show that a person's political stance is based on what they grew up with. So if you lived in a republican family with republican friends you will be republican or vice versa. Growing up in such an environment the opposing political party is seen as evil, stupid, or part of some grand conspiracy. So attacks on that candidate of your choosing are usually ignored or considered exaggerated for political reasons. While what they do well, is strongly weighed. Thus making your choice seem perfectly rational.
Now if you are actually a person in the middle, and you observe all these families and lives you find that they are quite similar, have the same problems and often think of the same solution, until the party of their choice states it is different.
While I personally will be voting for Clinton,it isn't because Trump voters are all racists. Nor do I expect the democratic party turn the US into a communist nation.
If I was American, I would vote Democrat. There is a safety rule in politics -- you need checks and balances. If you get a Republican senate, a republican house, and a republican president, what is there to stop them from enacting laws detrimental to the middle or lower class. Obviously, we have already seen laws that favour the super wealthy. What would stop a stupid law of there was a Republican majority as mentioned.
With checks and balances, the president can veto bad legislation, and he can, if he is intelligent (as opposed to clever), work with congress to set the direction for the next term. I believe that a president should be there for 8 years, and only on exception, should he be removed (voluntarily or otherwise, after 4 years).
And with this election, please show me the plans for the next President. The democrats have posted theirs. Possibly the Republicans have also posted theirs, but what about independent Trump, All I hear from the debates is 20 seconds of I will do better, and 100 seconds of side issues, eg blasting Senator Hillary with insults. Take this note with you "She did not get to be senator because of her looks, she earned that right to represent her people". A President is there not to lead, but to represent the people. People who are giving him a mandate to carry out the people's wishes.
What is the difference between a radio button, a toggle representation or a slide to unlock. All do the same thing. Its only the copyright. On or off can be done horizontally, vertically, by toggle appearance, by radio button, by toggle between adjacent buttons.
There should never be a patent for Apple's image. A on-off is a function, and why should there be a patent if there is a slide switch for it's representation.
I would have Samsung use the slideswitch, and attach a color to it, and a sound. So, if it is on, it's going to show green, and off, will show red or black. There is something wrong in the appeals court thinking.
ISIS took credit for my stubbed toe last week and these god damn dipshits eat it up ever time. Thanks for being a bunch of fucking gullible retards, America. Begin so incapable of generating even a modicum of rational thought, you deserve every single bad thing that happens to you. Smarten up, you stupid assholes.
ISIS appeals to the obsessive compulsive individuals, who are fully absorbed in their religion, because the religion satisfies a desire to feel good. ISIS makes that individual want to feel great, by doing it's evil deeds. The religion, from what I read, does not tolerate other religions, and thus, there is the motivation to do evil.
With Yahoo circling the drain, doesn't Verizon just have to threaten to draw them into some protracted legal fight about the deal (even if they would eventually lose) until Yahoo is even more broken then they are already?
Suppose Verizon engineered the Hack of Yahoo, so that they get the user list and as many passwords as possible. Now, two years later, they want to benefit once again from their 2014 hack, to try to force yahoo.com to reduce it's price by one billion.
If yahoo.com can do it, they should tell Verizon to go suck a lemon.
We are nine in our home, and we have 5 users on Netflix, one user downloading Linux ISO's and others watching/listening to youtube stuff. Yes we exceed 20 gigs, but not 1000 gigs. I think Comcast is being reasonable.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Noah was born pre-Flood. And if you follow the geneologies, they lifespans increasingly shorten with each successive generation; thus not an immediate effect but something that took a few generations to take in.
So I guess the LORD forgot, eh? And don't forget about Adad, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor and of course Abraham.
Most of those you quote were Pre-Flood; however, that doesn't change the lifespan curve that occurred post flood. Abram (who could have known Noah as their lifetimes slightly overlapped) made it to 175 (Genesis 25:7). Joseph (3 generations later) only made it to 110. Genesis 50:22-26.
As with Death in Genesis 3, the shorted lifespan did not happen immediately. Could it have? Probably, but that would have had several major consequences:
Slower re-population of the earth post-flood
Inability to communicate the past to future generations using eye-witnesses that were able to fully establish what actually happened through numerous generations across the vast majority of the populace.
I say that the Calendar, in Noah's time (pre-flood) was using the lunar month as a new year. So, divide his age by 13.2 and you will arrive at a respectable 65+ age. (Recall-no vaccines or anti-biotics then). Post flood, the calendar was based on rainy season (two rainy seasons per gregorian year). Living to 120, was the norm, living beyond was exceptional. When Moses returned from China, that I believe the modern Biblical calendar was adopted. Thank you China for the lunar calendar.
No, not anymore - they removed it. I have AT&T Gigapower and no TV or phone service. It DID have a 1TB cap but they removed it a month ago. Also, this past week, they announced they are ending the "Internet Preferences" campaign - the deal that would scan your internet traffic and serve ads based on it. Before, you had to pay an additional $30 to not be subjected to the traffic monitoring; now, they are removing it entirely. So, I am paying a flat $70 a month (no taxes on fiber internet in TN for some reason) for unlimited gigabit speed with no traffic monitoring or ad serving.
I live in Montreal, and we have Bell Canada Fibr . We've had it for three years. Why did it take AT&T so long to offer the same package(s). I can download a 4 gig file in about a rate of 6kbytes per second. We also don't seem to have a data cap. That "no cap" feature allows me to enjoy my hobby which is to download and test many new Linux ISO files.
The only good kernel release is one that has been debugged in service by the Other Linux server company. If they are OK after 6 months of clean use, then do your own test and if that test succeeds, upgrade.
I can't understand the panic to rush a kernel to the masses without proper testing.
Chip readers have been the norm in Canada since 2005. There was a transition period allowed to accommodate card holders with cards that had only the mag stripe. Even today, if there is a problem for the reader to interpret the chip, the customer can swipe the card as the CC comes with both chip and mag stripe.
The requirement to upgrade should have in part been financed by the CC companies. Using the chip as a standard cuts losses substantially. And with the cut in losses, it would cover the shared price of readers.
Some CC companies rent out the reader at around $10/mo.
Not yet, but I'm sure Lennard will correct that in due course.
One of the systemd developers tried to make changes to the kernel for systemd only, breaking other software in the process, and was politely told where to stuff it.
Yes, systemd in 2014 was flakey, just as pulseaudio was back in it's time. But it is doing well today, healthy, and meeting expectations.
No we can't. Circuit schematics is generally not copyrightable, because it only documents the workings of something else - a physical circuit. It is not considered a work in itself.
Even if it was, then the only thing that copyright license would do is to protect the schematics - not someone reproducing the actual circuit. For that you would have to patent it - which may not be possible (circuit is well known, for ex.) or not practical (patenting costing more than the widget itself). Not to mention that patents are not likely to stop an Asian fly-by-night cloner.
A question If a patented software algorithm is redrawn as a circuit diagram, or as a source code listing, or distributed as source code text, then is it truly open source? Of course, if you compile the code, that code would be executable. But... The vendor of some fancy hardware would not be selling the algorithm, only giving away the description. But you mentioned that the circuit diagram is not copyrightable. If so for circuits, then so for source code listings.
Note that it's a French bank. In Europe (at least the UK where I live and the other parts of Europe that I've travelled to), we use chip cards, which means that that is already a solved problem here; cloning the magnetic strip doesn't get you the PIN number, and you can't do anything without that. So you don't need any fancy changing card number to solve that problem, you north-Americans just need to get with the program. As long as you can make transactions with just something as easily cloneable as the magnetic strip, you're going to have that problem.
Canadian institutions have been using chip technology cards since 2010. Debit cards have the magstripe for those mom and pop stores. Still its safe because the pin is compulsory/obligatory.
Firefox is fine for what I do. Emails and browsing. I am however, frustrated with using FF for flash. Its always complaining that adobe flash is out of date.
Since FF is rendering info faster than I can read, and since I am a creature of habit, I don't think that I will change to something else, unless FF disappeared.
Problem is that the way many companies price things, you don't save that much by cutting the TV. I have TWC and it's only like $20 cheaper/month if I cut TV and keep high speed internet. What we really need is a lot more competition, but the last mile problem is monopolized. I expect sooner or later somebody (Google, others) will find a way to solve that, as there is way too much money to be made by disrupting that last mile. It might end up being wireless last mile with other frequencies, mesh networks, etc. Or low orbit satellites.
You must have forgotten that your $20/mo includes after income taxes and sales taxes. You need to earn $40/mo to pay for that $20/mo. Cable is dead until 4k is widespread.
just get used to it. they have mastered the coverup and own everyone who could charge them.
What would the emails show? Would it show they were selling state secrets to the enemies of the USA? Would it show that amongst the emails deleted accidentally, were letters to sex partners, or emails to family? What dangerous clandestine sinister set of messages were therein?
And we know that her personal servers were not hacked. They were probably more secure than the official one, which everyone could discover.
Keep in mind that this is exactly what the left keep pushing with their "hate crime" laws, and wanting to implement kangaroo courts for them. We have them in Canada, they're abused. Up until Ezra Levant and Mark Styen won they had a 100% conviction rate. The head of the CHRC was also found to have been deliberately planting evidence against his political enemies then running them against the system to ruin them.
You guys in the US have gotten your first taste of it, it's called a Title IX tribunal.
CHRC is a government body, not an individual. Its there to insure that your human rights are not trampled upon.

The ADL is there to stop people from calling you a fucking prick. We know you are not. Whoops, my mistake, it is when you do say and do repulsive things against a community-- when you use the gestures and languages and analogies that are despicable. And of course, if the act against a group (even groups of 1 person) are against the law, they may bring a legal suit. Frivolous actions may border on "the despicable". You know, Donald Trumpisms are an example. He just enjoys providing insults to all who compete with him.
There have been several glacial/interglacial periods over the last 120,000 years. The peak of the current interglacial occurred about 8000 years ago. Since then temperatures have been slowly falling... up until about 150 years ago when something happened and temperatures dramatically reversed course.. Here's just the last 20,000 years by XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1732/
One reason for climate change, from my thinking, is that the earth's spin is slowing down. At one second per year or decade or century, that slow down has a side effect. The sun is able to do one second more melting of ice.
And of course, birmomg fossil fuels also causes a side effect. Altogether, I can, in my mind, rationalize what we are experiencing as "global warming"
I bet you it's huge in middle America who have had their emails since the late 90's and still post on Yahoo Answers.
I am a yahoo.com user, and I have been doing so for ages, certainly before Gmail. I left hotmail for yahoo years ago. Any internet site today is not guaranteed to be protected from hackers. The Democratic party, and I bet the government and military servers have long ago been hacked. Yes, they got names, addresses, etc, but only encrypted passwords. And if gmail was hacked, I guarantee that you would not hear ever that it occurred.
I like the yahoo.com interface. I feel more comfortable with it than with gmail or hotmail. Its my preference. My address book is just available to the hackers as it was made available to facebook or linked in or other site that wants to give me service in exchange for access to the email address book.
I am also willing to bet that the hack provided access to that number of names, but that that number were not retrieved. Can that number of names fit onto a 6 terabyte drive?
I truly loved APL's syntax and functionality. It beats Python by a mile, when looking to produce error free code that is succinct and for an APL programmer, easy to read.
These boards aren't really *that* type of embedded system. They're more like smaller PCs really. If there's a simple job that would work great on an old/underpowered computer, but which you want to do ideally on low power, and without a huge metal box (perhaps with very minimal I/O usage) then it's a good solution. Especially if it has to display something on a monitor or TV.
If you want lots of advanced peripherals, a lightweight RTOS and such (instead of a more "desktop-like" OS), then you're definitely looking at the wrong thing.
I personally found out I have little use for these things. Most of the "simple computer" tasks I do work better inside VMs (no need for a display mainly), and most of the stuff that involves "serious" I/O and an RTOS is far better suited to ARM Cortex devices.
I don't think too many people will buy it. Sure, it's x86 and fast, but it's much more expensive than a Raspbarry Pi ($157+), to the point where it's not even targeting the same market anymore. It has *zero* GPIO too (so it's really just a small computer), and it just won't have the community around it which is 90% of the Raspberry Pi's value...
I could see in being used in cash registers, gambling casino slot machines, and even elevator controllers. At roughly 6 watts power, the Intel CPU can find it's way into car controls and vehicle management systems.
Considering how much corporate money is flowing into Hillary's campaign... She's obviously not going to change that.
Hillary... on paper, she's everything Democrats claim to hate.
And for a party that claims to fight hate... There sure is a lot of violence, racisim and hate coming from the party that says they want to bring us together.
Of course... they mean "we want to unite... as long as you vote Democrat and agree with everything we say". It's all about freedom of speech and freedom of expression until you say "Hillary is a POS".
I guess, when the IT people in the government could not provide maintenance for Hillary's server, then the IT person who secured Hillary's server insured that it could not be hacked, And of course ran the typical 60 day ageing default to purge of emails. The server was not hacked, though the Democrat's was
As for Bengazi, I go with the findings. -- Government response was too slow and too late.
outside of the USA, and if you think there was anti-Americanism before, if Trump is elected, it will be an all-out continuous, and well-deserved shitpost on America.
Canadian Immigration is gearing up for new refugees. Americans mostly. Comparison with USA. No Trump, No guns, Medicare, Low low cost education, safety living, happy living, prosperous living, and divorce rates below 54 percent.
I just recently tried the beta for 3.22 though and honestly it's not so bad. The default configuration sucks though, you need to install a bunch of extensions and gnome-tweak-tool for it to be usable.
Exactly!
Similarly, after years of being a hater of Chevrolets, I just bought a new Cruze, and honestly it's not so bad. The default configuration sucks though, so I had to drop in a different engine, put in some new seats (which required some welding), transplant infotainment (nav/radio) system from another car, and to make that work I had to replace the whole dashboard. I also swapped out the ugly-ass wheels and put some new brakes on it while I was at it, and repainted it too because Chevy's available paint schemes were all horrible. But other than those minor modifications, it's not too bad a car!
Actually, Gnome 3.22 is to my liking mostly. Like every Gnome 3.22 user, I like leather seats (not standard Chevy stuff), A self parking option, air conditioning etc. Tweaks are a way to personalize the Gnome 3.22 interface. And by the way, slowly, very slowly, what was wrenched from Nautilus (Files), is being restored. I give Gnome a plus++.

Of course, if you compile the code, that code would be executable. But... The vendor of some fancy hardware would not be selling the algorithm, only giving away the description.

I am also willing to bet that the hack provided access to that number of names, but that that number were not retrieved. Can that number of names fit onto a 6 terabyte drive?
I truly loved APL's syntax and functionality. It beats Python by a mile, when looking to produce error free code that is succinct and for an APL programmer, easy to read.
These boards aren't really *that* type of embedded system. They're more like smaller PCs really. If there's a simple job that would work great on an old/underpowered computer, but which you want to do ideally on low power, and without a huge metal box (perhaps with very minimal I/O usage) then it's a good solution. Especially if it has to display something on a monitor or TV.
If you want lots of advanced peripherals, a lightweight RTOS and such (instead of a more "desktop-like" OS), then you're definitely looking at the wrong thing.
I personally found out I have little use for these things. Most of the "simple computer" tasks I do work better inside VMs (no need for a display mainly), and most of the stuff that involves "serious" I/O and an RTOS is far better suited to ARM Cortex devices.
I don't think too many people will buy it. Sure, it's x86 and fast, but it's much more expensive than a Raspbarry Pi ($157+), to the point where it's not even targeting the same market anymore. It has *zero* GPIO too (so it's really just a small computer), and it just won't have the community around it which is 90% of the Raspberry Pi's value...
I could see in being used in cash registers, gambling casino slot machines, and even elevator controllers. At roughly 6 watts power, the Intel CPU can find it's way into car controls and vehicle management systems.
Considering how much corporate money is flowing into Hillary's campaign... She's obviously not going to change that.
Hillary... on paper, she's everything Democrats claim to hate.
And for a party that claims to fight hate... There sure is a lot of violence, racisim and hate coming from the party that says they want to bring us together.
Of course... they mean "we want to unite... as long as you vote Democrat and agree with everything we say". It's all about freedom of speech and freedom of expression until you say "Hillary is a POS".
I guess, when the IT people in the government could not provide maintenance for Hillary's server, then the IT person who secured Hillary's server insured that it could not be hacked, And of course ran the typical 60 day ageing default to purge of emails. The server was not hacked, though the Democrat's was
As for Bengazi, I go with the findings. -- Government response was too slow and too late.
outside of the USA, and if you think there was anti-Americanism before, if Trump is elected, it will be an all-out continuous, and well-deserved shitpost on America.
Gasp! The Germans are here!
Allooooo Americans! We love you
Welcome back, Americans!!!
Canadian Immigration is gearing up for new refugees. Americans mostly. Comparison with USA. No Trump, No guns, Medicare, Low low cost education, safety living, happy living, prosperous living, and divorce rates below 54 percent.
I just recently tried the beta for 3.22 though and honestly it's not so bad. The default configuration sucks though, you need to install a bunch of extensions and gnome-tweak-tool for it to be usable.
Exactly!
Similarly, after years of being a hater of Chevrolets, I just bought a new Cruze, and honestly it's not so bad. The default configuration sucks though, so I had to drop in a different engine, put in some new seats (which required some welding), transplant infotainment (nav/radio) system from another car, and to make that work I had to replace the whole dashboard. I also swapped out the ugly-ass wheels and put some new brakes on it while I was at it, and repainted it too because Chevy's available paint schemes were all horrible. But other than those minor modifications, it's not too bad a car!
Actually, Gnome 3.22 is to my liking mostly. Like every Gnome 3.22 user, I like leather seats (not standard Chevy stuff), A self parking option, air conditioning etc.
Tweaks are a way to personalize the Gnome 3.22 interface.
And by the way, slowly, very slowly, what was wrenched from Nautilus (Files), is being restored. I give Gnome a plus++.
