No. Not at all.

Seriously, read what happened. Yeah, BBC has done plenty of bone-headed things in the name of PC. This, however, is not one of those things. Clarkson punched a staff member. He admitted to doing it. Physical assault is very clearly a violation of workplace terms there. Hell, if you punched a coworker at your place of employment could you reasonably expect to keep your job? I'm quite sure I could not and I am not nearly as highly regarded (or highly paid) as Clarkson.

This ended up being about the fact that the same rules need to be applied all through the pay scale. Just because he is a celebrity, and a host of the most watched television program in the world does not mean that rules do not apply to him. Hell, if that had happened here in the US, he'd be facing a multi-quintillion-dollar lawsuit already.

No, I did not ignore the procedural point. You ignored my response to it. Go back and read what I wrote. The treaty means nothing if congress doesn't sign it.

Yeah, 'cause no conservative administration ever dealt directly with Iran before.

Although, comparing it to Iran-Contra is unfair to President Lawnchair. The deal that the Lawnchair administration proposed doesn't mean anything if congress doesn't ratify it. They signed it on our behalf but it is up to congress to follow-through.

Really? At what point did it become an impeachable offense to send our top diplomat to look into diplomatic issues? Nothing is actually guaranteed to Iran until congress says so. Interesting that have brought up "impeach" again, you had previously said that you realized there is no point in pursuing that avenue any more due to the time line impossibilities of it. Although considering some of your other conspiracies require time travel, I guess that shouldn't really be considered a hurdle for you any more.

OK, troll on, then.

I presume I am not one of the "usual suspects" - or if I am, you are getting no pleasure from me. Who, then, would they be in this case? You don't really expect this to somehow shame President Lawnchair into voluntarily aborting his presidency while he is on the victory lap of his last 19 months, do you?

I haven't seen any indication of it including the damning email that was sent from President Lawchair - copied to Hillary Clinton, of course - that authorized the terrorists to make the attack on Benghazi so that President Lawnchair could reap huge political gains. You'll likely therefore file it under "fiction".

On top of that, if it only covers 13 hours from the first bullet, it won't include the SoS initial description as that came more than 13 hours out.

But we can't let those pesky facts get in the way of your favorite conspiracy.

No. There is no goalpost moving or assignment of blame when I point out that President Lawnchair has secured an executive record as the most conservative president in the history of our nation to date. It is simply a direct observation of what has actually happened thus far.

And your point is? At least I included a link to the reference because even I don't expect most Slashdotters to recognize that one! (To be honest, what I remembered was the name of the island, and worked from there.)

That course would have ended up at Zero Zero Island and Colonel Bleep had to take action to keep his headquarters secret.

Hmm. I point out some of the failings in your conspiracy and you attack me; that somehow makes your conspiracy stronger? Interesting.

As for "abject cretins", you haven't shown any reason why yours are better than mine. Furthermore your constant state of goalpost-moving - particularly the fact that you are able to support your team in part but anyone of any other team must support their team 110% of the time - is again noted.

And thus does opt-out rear its ugly head, yet again. Not only that, if what you write is true the average user won't even know that it's happening, that they can stop it or that they have any control whatsoever over what gets sent to the cloud. Now, consider what happens when you're on limited bandwidth and you get a bill for far more traffic than you can account for. If I ran Windows (I don't.) this would be one more reason for me to avoid Windows 10 like the plague.

I don't live out in the country, but I often have to drive country roads at night. Here in California, there's a white line marking the division between the road itself and the shoulder, and there's something built into the shoulder that makes it rumble when a car goes over it. This makes it much easier to stay on the road, even in rain or fog. (We don't get snow here, but I'd imagine that the sound from the shoulder would still work even if you couldn't see the line.)

Have a lot of kids received single hand transplants there previously?

So what's to stop you from editing that file right now so that if and when you need it, it's ready?

I sit corrected. The article I used as a reference only told how to activate it on a working system, not how to make it active by default, and I misread. If you want it active at boot, you need to add the line kernel.sysrq = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf.
