Um the Donald needs to go. I'm kind a right wing nut, but trump is batshit crazy. He is a racist ethnocentric wind bag. If he gets the Republican party nomination I'll vote for Hillary Clinton. She may be a self serving liar. Who will do anything for power, but she is at least predictable.

Comment Be a Professional (Score 0) 246

I manage a computer repair shop. I teach my guys that discretion is paramount. First of all I'd they snoop on customer files they get fired. Second if the do see something they aren't to discuss it. Finally if they stumble on something criminal (like kiddy porn) they report it to me and I deal with it. In the case of the aforementioned I'll call the cops. But I make the decision and the responsibility.

I think this is a nail in a fast closing coffin for Mozilla, users want things to just work and Firefox no longer does. But chrome never seems to fail.
