  on Whether Or Not You Believe Russia Interfered In The Election, We Should All Be Worried About Escalation Based On Secret Info
  Yes, that specific line wasn't coming to me, but I have had the same general feeling about President Trump's presidency as we were given for "President Clarke"

  Ah, I see the complaint there. When I came on the article, it had already been struck through and changed to Windows.

  And some people still have a preferred version between the two. Thus, preferred version is still correct.

  on Copyright Office To Aereo: Quack All You Want, We Don't Think You're A Cable Service
  It is possible, just barely, that the C.O. is actually attempting to provide Aereo some assistance here. Possibly, if this gets before the SC again, they can point to this "ruling" as evidence that no, they're not a cable company?
  
  Grasping at straws here...

  on FTC Cracks Down On T-Mobile For Massive Bogus Charges And Fee Scam
  This has been addressed by T-Mobile already. As of November 2013, they had a program in place:

  I found that link via the following article:

  OMG, don't say that. Hollywood is already remaking everything else, don't let them think that rebooting THIS would be a good idea.

  on Member Of Intelligence Review Group Tells NSA: You Guys Have Done Amazing Work Protecting America... And Should Never, Ever Be Trusted
  I would almost agree that the problem is at the top of the chain, but there are a bunch of corrupt links in the middle as well
  
  Of course there is. Where do you think that the new "top of the chain" comes from? It doesn't form from a vacuum. People with the "right" character flaws get drawn to the top.
  
  The problem would be lessened with more effective oversight, however.

  on DailyDirt: The U.S. Postal Service
  In my experience, UPS tracking is also a joke. I ordered new phones from my cell provider on Tuesday. Tuesday night, they were listed as having been scanned for arrival at 6:11pm Eastern.
  
  The next updates were this morning, sometime between 11:30p when I went to bed, and 6:00 am when I got up. Sometime in that time frame, the package had shipped from Lexington, KY, to Wyoming, MI, where it was scanned for departure at 1:10 am, then arrived in Flint, MI at 3:10am.
  
  That's a 30+ hour block of time where there were no updates, yet apparently it placed on a truck, shipped to Michigan, unloaded then put on another truck.
  
  FedEX isn't any better.

  on Author Walter Jon Williams Asks For Fans To Help Him 'Pirate' His Own Works Better
  Not an author, but I am friends/acquaintances with several. The price of an e-book is very rarely left up to the author. Most of the time it is decided by the publisher. Hence, the stupidity with most prices.

  on Old Spice Man Is Horsing Around On Social Media
  Its possible that Wal-Mart refused to provide the information, or didn't do it in a timely enough manner for the study.
