Comment Re:Worst mass shooting of _recent_ US history. (Score 1) 1718

Then what would you call the civil war? Was that "legal" as well? Or the fight for our independence where we threw off our government overloads? In both cases many more people were wounded and killed in one day. While I find what happened to be horrible, I cannot understand someone saying it was the worst mass shooting in US history (Heard it both US History and in "recent" history)

Oh, also forgot, I use some Marcos to merge several CSV files into one document at work in Excel, then put the outcome into Pivot Charts, Libre did not support them yet. Perhaps one day they can do all of this, but I do not believe that all users of Excel use complex formulas or Macros, so I could be in that 10% or so, that uses spreadsheets for more than basic expense reports.

Well, I cannot comment for the AC, but I agree that the Ribbon has not really changed since it was introduced. As for Excel, I use it to do some calendars and cost tracking at home and user several functions to auto fill cells based on numerous other cells. The last time I tried Libre, it could not use some of the formulas that had 15 or 16 IF statements in one line. (Think of calculating base cost of something, based on what was used in its build. Where it looks at cost of packaging (which was a formula itself), cost of casing (which was a formula from another sheet), cost of hardware used (Could be one piece or 20), etc.) All this while tracking the part numbers used in each item. Libre could not do that, but Excel could.

Comment SIPRNET (Score 1) 572

I am at a loss, since it said in one report she received Top Secret emails. IF they were classified as Top Secret, then they would have to be on the SIPRNET, which cannot email NIPRNET or the Internet. So if that is the case, HOW did the emails get to her own server on the internet? If she was sending, and they were classified as Top Secret, who did she send to the SIPRNET? Not condoning her actions or anything else supporting or bashing her. I am merely curious how this connection worked, since they are defied as to NOT be connected.

Comment Re:Another Government failure (Score 1) 303

Oh I read your comment. Have you not been listening to the news. The latest statement by the government staff was that "TOP Secrect and Classified emails where FORWARDED to Mrs. Clinton's personal server" Forget the retyping, which is something that government staff is trained NOT to go. So I guess we are at a spot, do we believe the Government official that stated they were forwarded and not retyped, OR do we not believe anything they say, which means that she did not in fact get this material. Either way, this story is lacking in details, rules were broken by more than her, yet she is the scapegoat and the OPM breach is swept under the rug.

The story says the email was "Forwarded" to her. Not a new typed email. Again, my point is that the Government network is not setup to follow their own rules, and that the issue is larger than Mrs. Clinton. She is a scapegoat to hide that fact. Have you not noticed that the last OPM breach new coverage went away as soon as this came up? Rather than fix the issue, hide it. Its what they do best.

Comment Interesting, time for some real world tests (Score 2) 328

I believe we should test this, in the real world. Get 30 to 100 people. Setup a course with fake cars and such. Have them all drive it without anything in their system. Then get them drunk and do it again. Then when they are sober, let them smoke pot, and do it again. Then once that is clear have them drink and smoke pot, and go yet again. Then for fun, do it with someone who is just smoking a cig while driving. Compare the results.
