Re: Cumulus Orders Radio Hosts — Which Include Dan Bongino and Mark Levin — to Stop Pushing Election Conspiracies

The story is fake. None of them work for Cumulus, and according to Bongino and Levin they never received any such memo. Bongino says he doesn't even know who Brian Phillips is.

Re: GOP convention fact-check: Yes, Trump called white supremacists 'very fine people'

But you leave out the rest of the context to suit your narrative. Here. I'll do your homework for you. In the very next statement this is what he says. Now he may have been wrong about the make-up of the crown he specifically said he was not referring to white nationalists and neo-nazis.

....
Trump: “Okay, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue?
“So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

I have long been a fan of user macros and advocate for them fairly regularly. I am sad that Atlassian has given them very little love. You should consider posting this article to Atlassian's Community site as well. This is exactly the kind of content that articles on the site are designed for.

It's not terrible, but being a Photoshop professional myself I can say it is certainly not a Photoshop clone. Don't get me wrong they do a good job for being free, but it's really not a viable replacement for those who use Photoshop professionally.

Oh, wait that's because I was logged in and have had a free trial before.

Re: Russia publishes image of ‘Satan 2’, the missile that could ‘wipe out Texas’

Yeah, but destroying something the size of Texas! Wouldn't that kick a cloud of debris into the air that would block out the sun for years, send us into an ice age, and probably kill all mammalian life on the planet?

Re: Verizon adding a $20 upgrade fee, even for those who buy their phones outright

Dump em and get Republic Wireless. No contract, no weird fees ... just an easy to understand plan that doesn't try to nickle and dime you to death.

If they had not let Windows Media Center die I would totally upgrade, but since they did I have no choice but to remain on Windows 8.1.

That is not the model that Microsoft is moving toward. I know multiple people that work at Microsoft on the Windows team and this is not the case.

Re: Content Properties in the REST API

fredclown — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:44:04 -0000

You really should include some JS code examples for the REST API and not just curl command. I can figure it out, but there are many who would benefit from having the JS examples.

Re: Modern humans migrated out of Africa from Egypt unlike previously believed

fredclown — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 11:47:56 -0000

Seriously, you're going to rebuff me by mocking my screen name? In case you didn't catch it my comment wasn't fully serious. I don't really believe they bored through the Earth, so maybe the rest of the comment was 100% percent serious either. The point I was making is that they are making earnest claims on something that happened a VERY long time ago and there can be no certainty when we are talking about things that far back. The variables are just too numerous.

And in a couple years someone else will have a study that says they took an eastern route. Then a few years later someone else will have definitive evidence that it was a western route. Until finally someone will be able to get the real truth out that they in fact bored through the middle of the Earth to leave Africa.

Scott, another good option is also to get one of the cloud backup services such as Crashplan or something like that. (I don't work for Crashplan but I love the service). Then it just automatically happens without the need to manually back it up.

Re: What Internet Speed Do You Really Need

fredclown — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 13:56:31 -0000

One thing to mention as well with download speed is that while you may have a 15+ Mb pipe from your service provider you are sure a heck not going to get a 15+ Mb connection to whatever website you are downloading data from. They cap their connection speeds. The only time you are typically going to utilize these big internet pipes is if you have multiple machines, you are downloading multiple things from different sources at the same time, or you torrent.

Re: White Ohio Woman Sues Over Sperm From Black Donor

I wonder what this little girl will think of all this when she gets older. What will she think knowing that her mom sued the sperm bank because she was not what her mom wanted? I work with youth and I know how they think and could see thing being an issue when she becomes a teen.

Re: Fast-Food Strikes Set for Cities Nationwide

fredclown — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:00:36 -0000

Yeah, that is kinda illegal. You cannot force workers to stay out or force owners not to replace you if you stop doing your job. There are many who will line up to do the job that you stopped doing of your own volition. Getting militant will get your nothing but a trip to jail and it won't hurt the business.

I challenge you to come up with these "other" countries that you speak of.

Re: New Yorker cover suggests Bert and Ernie gay

fredclown — Sat, 29 Jun 2013 02:42:27 -0000

In not sure how my comment could be construed as homophobic. I made no assertion as to the morality of homosexuality. I merely said that trying to educate young children about sex and sexuality should not be the job of a TV show. Honestly, I think the New Yorker is stretching this issue anyway. I do not believe that Bert and Ernie are gay or are even meant to appear gay. But let's say for a moment that they were gay this is not age appropriate material for preschoolers ... which is the target audience of Sesame Street. I am also not saying we shouldn't teach kids about sex and sexuality. Certainly we should. However, it is not the job of a TV show to do that. That is the job of the parents. Studies have shown over and over that certain topics are not good for young children and can even stunt their development which is why many researchers say that young kids should not even be watching TV. There are too many things on TV that are just not good for their little mind to have to process. This is not homophobia, it is responsible parenting.
