except Natalie, of Natalie's Cakes N More bakery, is African American.

I notice that a bunch of rich white conservatives though got together to support her:

The only thing faster than the rioting, is this GoFundMe account, in which she's not only got back the $20,000 needed to rebuild her bakery, but a good year's salary in the bank besides.

by do a lot of damage, I mean completely collapse it. Most nuclear silos though are a hell of a lot deeper than 60 feet, and are built out of reinforced concrete, not packed earth.

I don't need to know so much who's supporting a candidate, because that only matters if I already know that they don't have solid beliefs themselves and are primarily just doing what their supporters want.
 
What politician has solid beliefs?

Mittens are being taxed now? Just in time for winter! Thanks, Obama!

Microsoft should send the Chines Gov't a $136M bill for piracy.

The consequences which follow from a $10,000 fine and a guilty plea to a federal misdemeanor hacking charge are not trivial.

His usefulness to Anonymous is at an end --- the collective will be wondering about how much he had to offer in exchange for a plea bargain.

Pleading down to a misdemeanor is common enough for a first offender. But that is a card you can play only once.

ENIAC was Turing-complete, which is a full computer as nearly everyone understands it now.

No one claims America "invented computing", you crass buffoon.

Except for those pesky,slow mechanical relays... and total lack of conditional branches.

Did you actually read the article? He didn't ask for the ENIAC, specifically. They could have just grabbed an old IBM, but the guy assigned the project kicked it up a few notches. Parts of it are still unaccounted for, and one panel they recovered was destroyed. The missing panels would have to be recreated from plans-- if they still exist-- and the existing ones would have to be extensively repaired.

I have to agree that if we had a runoff system, people would probably stop complaining about the elector system that they know nothing about. Having a de facto two party system is simply not working. We probably should get rid of physical electors to streamline the process, but the idea of citizens electing their president through the states is a logical, consistent one.

You keep copying your archival backups from years ago? Hope it's encrypted.

Can I just load a station wagon full of LTO tapes and keep driving it around the country? Can't beat the bandwidth.

Those QIC drives used to really stink. Only DDS and 8mm were usable, and those weren't really for consumers. QIC drives used to shoeshine like mad, even if on a SCSI controller like the one I had.

They didn't, but fortunately the Julian date was a signed integer.

Not to mention:

With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed
