Pretty sure I saw on twitter (really reliable source for science news) that there was a spike in neutrino emissions. Wonder if they are correlated.

This is my all time favourite.

will also finally be the year of Linux on the desktop.

sigh...

I for one welcome our new robotic overlords!

Bring on the Pizza!!

No not really Clinton is ahead by http://www.usatoday.com/story/... 2 million votes, as of Nov 23, so she is not more unpopular. Equally in terms of statistics it is a dead heat, but don't make somehow one is more unpopular than the other

You are assuming there is voter fraud to an extent that can influence an election. This has been proven false numerous times, Please stop propagating lies.

This. So much. It baffles me the number of stories of FUD about nuclear power that mdsolar gets published here. I am not sure who is promoting and publishing their stories but you are right...see the headline, guess that mdsolar wrote it and then confirm via the rest of the text.

Why Slashdot?

NEGLIGENCE. The omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do. or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do. It must be determined in all cases by reference to the situation and knowledge of the parties and all the attendant circumstances.

Hillary's email server was secured the same way that the "reasonable predecessor (aka C. Powell https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2016%2F...)" used. While you can say that slashdot users know better, average joe blow or a braindead politician would not know how to secure an email server, so by definition of law there is no negligence here.

wont work on my mac, but works on my wife's iPad same network......curious

Oh thats right, we should all go back indoors and forget that there is a real world out there. Its terrible that we have become so insulated and fearful of what could potentially happen that the first sign that we feel we can emerge from our darkened basements to see the outside (however augmented it may be) that someone screams chicken and wants us all back inside where its "safe". This is what the terrorists want. In fact this is what most governments want. They want and need a fearful populace so the leaders can implement more control over our lives. I say take back your freedom. Download Pokemon Go, Walk around and see your neighbourhood. Meet new friends and see that there is nothing to worry about, and stick it the the fear mongers.

Did anyone else read that as a little girls doll company?

Dude relax,
Trump was the only one to fit the meme, that is all. And its funny, lighten up a bit.

As I read your comment again I almost see quite an insult here towards me. You have no idea of my ideology. I do have a post that I purposely wrote to provoke a reaction with Hilary as president, check it out, got rated as flamebait. It was a mistake. She doesn't reflect my views, and neither does Trump. None of the candidates or parties reflect my views. If I had mod points for you I would rate you as flamebait for your post. Whoever gets elected in the fall, the world is not going to end. Its hard to keep political discussions civil here, I'll keep it toned down cause this isn't the place. But I would suggest again to see some humour in things, Life is easier that way.

Donald Trump "was assigned to Gryffindor for his boldness -- but only with a 48 percent certainty."

Sorting Hat: Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?

Trump: Please, please. Anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.

Sorting Hat: Well if you're sure, better be... GRYFFINDOR!

Wouldn't it be 640KB(irds) should be enough for anyone?

Although there are some doubts if he really ever said that http://www.computerworld.com/a...
  Ah modern memes.

haha, This of course being /. I didn't even think of star trek bones, I was actually watching an episode of Bones where she thinks about running for President when I wrote that. She would probably be better than the real candidates.
