KB3172605-x64 finally did the trick, but I had to force-reboot soon after it started processing. I got that trick from somebody else online. Makes no sense, I know, but it's Windows. It's like stalling our car to get the windshield wipers to work.
"It looks like you're trying to sue us. The lawsuit has no merit. But, you want help bribing a judge for us, in case. Yes, you do. Trust me; it's in your family's best interest..."
There's gotta be a lot of others impacted. A Yuuuuge class-action lawsuit may be in order. A law firm could advertise, asking about those affected, and collect the claims together.
As much as conservatives get emotional about trusting The Gov't with regard to guns, I'm surprised they've been relatively eager to hand over privacy to them.
The stone hand axe. Our branch of hominids have been using them for around 2 million years. (And sharpened sticks probably longer, but they don't fossilize.)
For complicated products like photo-copier software, perhaps, but I'm thinking more of simpler gizmos, like the fan and toilet seat described earlier. That's where I see an increase computerization. The complicated things had chips for decades, but crock-pots, Barbies, etc. are getting them too now.
The increase and/or popularity of C may be a result of embedded programmers working for manufacturing companies, who are mostly NOT in the USA or Europe. (At least manufacturing is not growing in here.)
Thus, if you live in the USA or Europe, you probably should NOT take these numbers (popularity) as a sign that C is a good employment opportunity. The growth is not where you live.
Being Slashdot content is written in English, I assumed mostly USA or UK readers. Perhaps I should have stated that. At least that's who my target audience for the location warning.
People struggle with pretty much every language, it's just that the bugs are different in each.
It's usually not the language that throws me for a loop (no pun intended), but the screwy poorly-documented API's and Web UI stacks (DOM, CSS, etc.), which seem to break whenever a new browser version comes out and have to be tested on gazillion devices and browser brands. Time to rethink web UI (non) standards: it's a fscking time sink. [Insert the rest of my usual UI rant here.]
Being more devices and consumer goods probably have embedded programming in them, I suspect that accounts for most of the C increase, and it's probably being done overseas, where the manufacturing hubs are.
Keep that in mind before jumping on the C bandwagon.
I purchased a fairly basic electric fan, and it has a digital control for level and a timer. It's probably programmed in C. I even saw a toilet seat in one store that glows via an LED light that turns on when you sit on it, if the light is off. Could be C in that controller also. You may be sitting on C now and not even know it.
Years ago I remember a pundit joking that Obama would change the terror threat level colors (from the W era) into "chick colors", implying that Obama was effeminate, gay, and/or p-whipped.
It had colors like chartreuse, coral, fuchsia, periwinkle, peach, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion. Update KB3168965 wouldn't start without Windows Update on, but with it on, it gets stuck. Something is jamming the pipeline it seems.
18 USC/599 only applies to the candidate themselves, not to campaign workers or party staff. Nor did I see any promises of employment in the emails, only seating favors.
"Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
30k emails and only ONE had part of classification mark left in it. And it doesn't appear the classified fact itself was with it; just the marker (although the Bureau's language is vague on that). That's not a bad record. She should have said "don't recall seeing any", CYA language.
"I handed over all work related emails"
There's no evidence she intentionally skipped over some. The "recreated" ones not handed over with the original set appear to have been missed because the lawyers who helped her filter them did a quick-and-sloppy reading job, scanning only the intro. There was nothing in the content of these "missed" emails to suggest they were hidden/removed to hide the content. The missed ones were boring and generic.
It appears to be good old fashioned rush-jobs and slop. Not a conspiracy to hide stuff nor lie.
"No material on my email that was classified at the time"
There's no evidence she knowingly received classified material. Again, she should have used CYA language and used the word "knowingly".
While working there, she should have also put in extra staff in place to monitor and verify classification compliance. Even if they couldn't work quick enough to keep up with rush-job projects, at least they could catch mistakes closer to the point of error and reprimand the offenders to reduce repeats.
She's a Type-A boss and probably pushed staff a bit harder than normal.
As far as CYA mistakes, she made similar per Benghazi when conveying the intelligence of the moment by not using words like "probably is" or "probably not", or "the best indication is that it was caused by an X", etc. Again, missing CYA language.
I don't know why she excludes standard CYA language. Perhaps she's often been accused of "acting too lawyerly" and compensates by making definitive statements. The cure is worse than the disease, though.

So, they built Yuuuuge solar walls and are gonna make Earth pay for it?
The idea came from the dark energy of dark matter.
And then I flushed it.

Perhaps, but being bullshit hasn't stopped a lot of products from selling. Rationality and sales are often not in alignment.

And if you "register" your product, you get Fry's with it.

It's usually easier and cheaper to co's for them to be close.
Most people buy a Tesla because it's electric and fast, NOT because it has a bot.
No. Let me try to rephrase it.

Clear now?
That's what the Lisp folks usually say: it can be any paradigm you want, even one you made up.
(Which can back-fire when you use it to model how your head works, leave the company, and the new guy discovers you are insane by his/her standards.)

Other politicians try to hide it.
Where did I contradict the FBI?

because you've never tried Marty's Burritos. Risky, but worth it.
Not catching symbols in an email and robing a bank are two very different things. That should go without saying. You appear to be in Drama Mode.

That's McAfee for ya: it "works" only because the hacker gets too bored waiting for slow McAfee-infested machines to respond.
They'd rather hack drying paint.
