Comment Re: It's all in a slogan (Score 1) 524

It's never someones "turn" and nobody "deserves to be POTUS". Trumps ego isn't a reason she lost, her ego is. I think one could argue that enough of the other articulable reasons she stem from this one weakness that her ego might be considered the major reason she is not president.
Going back to this "it's her turn" thing, she seemed to firmly beleive it and her speech and manner oozed this self perception as she seems to maintain to this day. A notion that is very provably false. It really isn't her turn, is it?
A bit more exposition of her understanding of the honor and responsibility of the position she was asking us to elect her to, presented with a bit more humility, just might have swayed voters.
At this point she is turning on everyone in a hopeless effort to preserve her self image. She is spending what credibility she has left leaving nothing to pass to Chelsea but millions of dollars. I don't think we will hear much from the Clintons once she is done burning down their infrastructure.
I suspect a case could be made that her ego is costing her everything. Except a fortune in politics money I mean.

Are you suggesting that OS/2 is cheaper to operate than Windows because you dont have to upgrade it very often? Like you only just now need to go upgrade from DB9 mouse to USB because it is just now supported?

If so I would mod you up. You may not be a tax accountant but you are clearly a CTO.

They release updates so infrequently that $99 doesn't seem like a big deal. Cheaper than a movie box set, and will probably consume more hours of my time.

And if you're a contractor you can probably write off the $229 version as a business expense, and possibly apply depreciation on it. (I'm not a tax accountant)

Comment Re:Interesting timing re Trump's claims (Score 1) 447

To be fair: If James Clapper says they didn't, then they did. Not with the white house's knowledge, mind, but that guy's credibility is right down there with POTUS45 himself.

This leaves us with a time-destroying paradox: Clapper says they didn't, but Trump says that they did. Therefore they absolutely did so, and absolutely cannot have done so. Both possibilities both did and could not have occurred, and our primitive technology does not yet allow us to see the havoc we have wreaked upon our poor continuum.

I think it would be best to open the box and put this cat out of its missery.
