Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

One wonders how closely this reflects Bannon's methods for punching Trump's buttons while he was on the inside. I don't know if it is the departure of him and his minions, or just the distraction of a couple of natural disasters that require Trump to use The Swamp of federal disaster agencies, or hi...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Oh, gee, that's right. You think the Ukrainians are all Nazis and think Putin is a Great Guy. Hanelyp thinks Pizzagate is real. Sorry, I get my easily deluded conspiracy theorists mixed up.

Do you all get this stuff from the same websites, or to you follow different ones? You never will say.

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Aww gee, you're sore because Diogenes set that one up so perfectly and I spotted it. Except that Trumps actions, and how one can logically string them together so that any single one of them might seem excuseable, but together they paint a picture of blatant obstruction, is all public record. Heck, ...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Years ago I read a great rebuttal of Henry Fonda's character in "12 angry men." Fonda pointed out that each piece of evidence is inconclusive because there was an alternative explanation for it that did not prove the defendant to have committed the crime. The Rebuttal I read asserted that individua...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Trump is not a fool? All evidence to the contrary? Even Steve Bannon thinks firing Comey was the biggest mistake in modern political history. I have no love or respect for Hillary or Obama, so don't even think I'm trying to defend them or would want them in office. But Trump has been shooting himsel...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

These are not rational people. If she thinks about it at all, she probably thinks the law does not recognize her "voodoo" as real, and so therefore she has not actually admitted to anything prosecutable against her. We may have a problem here with pronouns. What "she" were you referring to? I read ...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Well, I think I understand Diogenes better now.

And it explains a lot.

He thinks voodoo is real.

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Another case in point: Use of Radar Proximity fuses during WWII. And so on, and so forth. Radar proximity fuses were a nasty surprise. Utilized in time-on-target massed fires, they permitted air bursts to be precisely exploded over troop concentrations without warning. Introduction of these was in ...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Any idiot thinking they can take out the US with one or a couple of EMP bursts is really asking to be anihilated by folks who really know what they are doing. And it would not be EMP counter-strikes. JMHO. Maybe the way I should have stated it is that an EMP attack by NK on the US is absolutely not...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

I don't know how many hackers still do this, but the common Hollywood depiction of them is that they run their computers with the cases open. This is something no sufficiently paranoid hacker or conspiracy theorist should ever do. The Men In Black could just sit in their vans outside and eavesdrop o...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Interesting paper. It dates from 1990, a time when I was working in a lab in Falls Church, VA, in a building shared with an electronics lab which, for a time, produced the dangedest banging noises. That was when they installed the triple-shielded TEMPEST facility. At that time, desktop computers wer...

Re: Jerry Pournelle RIP

SIGMA got the word last night from Arlan Andrews.

Jerry cheated death a few years back when brain cancer tried to kill him. I corresponded with him a couple of weeks ago, and apparently he attended DragonCon last weekend.

He will be missed, but he will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Waitaminnit ... I just tried something on Bing Maps. I don't know how this link will work, but it is a Share from Bing Maps.
