Wouldn't any email she sent/received from the State Department be also archived on SD servers? You can delete emails from your outbox, but they don't disappear from my inbox.
So any official emails must be available in State Department archives.

DMCA's rules about DRM are stupid and most normal people don't care...

At least we agree here. Most people don't care until lawyers come after them. Remember DeCSS?

Sigh. I know how electronics work. When the speaker/headphone that accepts digital input only is sealed by the manufacturer, opening it up to connect to the analog input is not allowed - you are bypassing DRM, which is not legal under today's law. That's the point.

Yes of course. I can put a microphone in front of the speaker too. But a speaker with a digital input will be sealed, and when you open it you will be "bypassing DRM" and therefore breaking the law.

"Approved" speakers will take in digital input and decrypt just before playing the sound. What you are proposing is bypassing DRM, which currently is not legal...

You missed the point of DRM. The stream of bits coming out of the iPhone can be encrypted and must be decrypted before the DAC can take place. The decryption keys will only exist in approved devices (speakers or headphones).

The way to create another party is from the ground up. How many Greens or Libertarians are there on your school board or your town council, or state house? Until they start appearing there, nothing much will happen on the national level.

Depends what you consider work. For example, a mother taking care of her children is certainly work. Why not pay a mother that stays home and raise her kids (which in most cases is the best and least expensive option) rather than forcing her to get a job and spend large part of her income on daycare?

Looks to me like she intended to evade the Public Records act and Freedom of Information Act requests from the very beginning.

Really? Any email sent to or received from the State Department would be archived on their servers (you know that's how email works, right?) So any official emails are available there, even if she burned her server.

You don't live in the post-war 50's with an American dream available to all.

Are you kidding? In the 50s that idea only applied to white males. Try to talk to someone who was an adult in the 50s..

At worst, there will be a "Dick Cheney" behind the scenes pulling the strings. To me it seems that Trump could be easily manipulated...

I think the danger of Trump is that he himself holds no particular beliefs, other than promoting himself. He is not that smart and could be easily manipulated with complements that appeal to his narcissism.

You can already see it in his policy speeches. He just adapts the latest Republican/Tea Party talking points because he receives adulation and approval.

His energy "policy" speech was given in front of coal miners, so of course he proposed "more coal", even though economically (and environmentally) it makes no sense.

His tax plan is similar - just something suggested by Right Wing think tanks, same old Republican ideas.

She was supposed to use systems that would keep official copies of all her official emails. She used her own system, which didn't.

Any official emails going to/from .gov address would be logged and archived by those systems. So, how was she hiding her official emails again?

It is when you're violating the law to set it up to avoid FOIA requests.

All her official emails were sent/received from a .gov address. All those system log the emails and you can get them with an FOIA request.

How was she hiding any correspondence? Any emails set to or received from a .gov address would be archived and available on the government's system.

What exactly is being hidden?
