Submission + - Require proof, or take as an article of faith: your choice (zerohedge.com)

DougDot writes: Round 2, this time a *25* page report from the "U.S. intelligence community" (nearly twice as big as last week's FBI/DHS joint 13 page report) claiming that the Russians hacked our election.
Oh, and it also contains *no* proof. Zero. None. Not even a little bit of proof. Nada. Zip.
But that's ok, we don't need no steekin' proof.
Right?

Comment Big Brother Lies to Us, We Love It (Score 2) 821

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding!

He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”

The Mate version, anyhow. A couple of weeks ago Linux Mint 18 thoroughly borked my Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake desktop. It went through the install with no issues. I rebooted, did all the updates, rebooted and voila: Black Screen Of Death, X was totally hosed.

I diddled with it for about a day and could not make it work trying just about everything, so I rolled back to Mint Mate 17.3.

Comment Credit where credit due (Score 3, Insightful) 644

Our country's two-party system gave us the following two choices to be the next President of the United States: Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.
Does anybody else see a problem here?

But credit where credit due: the 350 or so million dumbed-down 'Murikuns will get one of them come November 8. And they will have earned the right.
