jimmyk, I believe Rodham is incredibly stupid about how computers work. And everything else.

Posted by: Captain Hate on the iPad

I recall tho' that the only person who's ever been called on "internet" stupidity was Senator Ted Stevens, for his "Series of Tubes".

[henry]

Rodham had access to the inventor of the Internet. I'm sure she knows as much as Gore does.

[daddy]

With the newer type of operating systems on computers--I know I have lost control over much or how my computer operates.

A couple thoughts on the theme of our technology outrunning us. I recall my pop saying that in WW2, the US Army had a great advantage over the German's because almost any American, since they had grown up on a farm, could tinker under the hood of a stalled vehicle and get the thing running again, whereas he did not detect that in the Germans. They had to abandon their stuff and move on.

The guy I worked with recently said that the International Space Station is half Russian and half US, and it is easy to see the difference. He said that our half is very hi-tech, but it's mainly changing out computer programs and hi-tech auto updates, whereas on the Russian half it's must less technologically advanced, but that the Russians are exceptionally capable of gimmicking and reworking their equipment with their hands, in what I took to be the same way as my pop described his WW2 US troops. We have become a bit clueless prisoners of our automation, whereas they have not. He thought there was benefit in that, as did I.

He mentioned how he had been allocated 2 hours to replace some window of consequence, and that he had done in in about 15 minutes, and that the ground boys who relied on that window were exceptionally happy about it, and from then on they demanded him to be the guy doing the hands on tool twisting.

Just to let you know, he wasn't bragging---he was simply answering my questions.

In praise of "Loose Cannons."

Henry on the previous thread, posts this excellent news, that Judge Emmet Sullivan is speeding up the Case of Judicial Watch versus the State Dept and Hillary's missing E-mails: Federal Judge Moves Up Hearing for Hillary Email Case

Great!

That reminds me that Judicial Watch is, or at least was, founded by traditional "Loose Cannon" Larry Klayman.

That got me thinking about where we are now with the Planned Parenthood brouhaha. It's on the radar screen because of "Loose Cannon's" like James O'Keefe, and whoever his new secret video acolyte is.

Then we've got Illegal Immigration and the porous Border and Sanctuary City murders now as a front and center issue, and the potential repeal of Birth-Rightism, because of that new "Vulgar Loose Cannon, Donald Trump.

So the 3 issues currently resonating with Americans, and capable of producing essential change, HillaryGate, Fetal-TissueGate, and Illegal ImmigrationGate, are all brought front and center by "Loose Cannons."

So join me please in giving 3 Tea Party cheers for Conservative "Loose Cannons."

[Buckeye]

Daddy

Your 5:59 is spot on, but I think there is also an additional cultural component.

Roughly 35 years ago, Mrs. Buckeye and I went to Jamaica for a week of R&r. We booked an all inclusive at a resort and by the 3rd day were bored with the food. I got us a dinner reservation at a swank German owned resort a couple miles away.

Dinner was very nice, served on an large outdoor patio next to the beach. It was dark by the time dinner was served and each of the tables had hurricane lamps with lit candles for light. During dinner I noticed a commotion at another table. The glass in their lamp had broken, and the wicker surround was on fire.

There were probably 100 couples sitting there and I am pretty sure we were the only non Germans. Not one person took action, they were screaming for "the help" to solve the problem and put out the fire. I calmly dunked my cloth napkin in water, wrapped my hand with it, walked to the table, grabbed the lamp and threw it out on the beach.

What was amazing was the looks I got. These people could not even comprehend that kind of self reliance. they were dumbfounded.

I couldn't imagine not doing something.

I was really struck by the difference in attitude.

Was good for a bunch of free drinks and dinner on the house, so all good in my mind.

Oh yes: Sources tell NBC that FBI is optimistic it can recover data from Hillary’s wiped server; Update: Hillary dodges when asked if server was wiped

Now that they have the server, they should be able to tell how many different users were accessing it, including unauthorized users. Which is to say, even if it can’t be proved that Hillary herself knowingly transmitted classified information in an insecure manner — not the criminal standard of culpability but the moral standard she’ll claim in doing damage control — the feds might be able to tell if foreign spies were reading her e-mail.

This is wishful thinking. There are freeware programs that will over-write every bit on a hard-drive with random data. Surely Her Highness had access to even better technology.

I think the idea that that NJ server has any useful info is a fantasy. Platte River's servers and backups might, though. Otherwise, they're probably liable for obstruction charges.

Did they FBI get those, too? Do we know whether they did?

Trying to lure DoT back with Stones lyrics?

The other night after watching some BBC Special on Brian Wilson's creation of the Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds" album, I was led to Rolling Stones rating of the top 500 pop songs.

I thought when I first looked, since it takes a while to load, that they had rated the Stones "I can't get no Satisfaction" as number 1, but on looking closer I see Mick and the boys lost out to Dylan. Here's the top 10 as rated by Rolling Stone mag:

1) Like A Rolling Stone---Dylan
2) Satisfaction---Stones
3) Imagine--- Forest Gump Lennon
4) Whats Going On---Marvin Gaye
5) Respect---Aretha
6) Good Vibrations---Beach Boys
7) Johnny B Goode--- Michael J FOX Chuck Berry
8) Hey Jude---Beatles
9) Smells Like Teen Spirit---Nirvana
10) What'd I Say---Ray Charles

Just like their reporting of the UVA Non-Rape case, I have issues with Rolling Stone's top 10 list.

Daddy, re: RS's list, it would be odd to find anyone who completely agrees with any survey like that. Still, I can't complain about 1, which is such a great Dylan song. 3 is a terrible choice, of course, and 10 not a worthy selection either (that one just RS's attempts to represent enough blacks, I guess). And while 8 isn't the best Beatles song, it does have that "big" feeling to it (like 6, which is also far from the Beach Boys' best - heck, "Fun Fun
Fun" is better).

[Miss Marple]

daddy,

Good Vibrations was the #1 song when I was a freshman at IU. I can remember hearing it when having a Coke in the Union Building. When I hear it, I am 18 again.

That, of course, doesn't make it eligible for the Top 10. The rest of those songs are familiar to me but not particularly appreciated.

[Jane]

They found Rosie's daughter at the NJ shore with her boyfriend. Apparently she is mentally ill - however running away from that bitch might indicate otherwise.

[MarkO]

"Satisfaction" has to be in the running.

Older, but equally significant, is the Diamonds' "Little Darling."

Dylan is a folksinger, not a rocker.

"Don't Worry Baby" has all the elements required for a great rock song: boy/girl, car, racing, male ego, something bound to go wrong, but, don't worry.

[narciso]

One of the things that was appealing in man from uncle, was the soundtrack which seems pretty vintage to the period.

[narciso]

Its a good song, but does it deserve to be in top ten.

Lester bangs (Phillip hoffman) was right, 'rock in roll is dead' rolling stones probably helped kill it.

[hrtshpdbox]

Diamaonds were a cover band, MarkO, designed to put out white versions of current R&B hits; "Little Darlin" was a Gladiolas song written by their estimable singer Maurice Williams (who also wrote "Stay").

Hey Jude is as stale and plodding as a lead baloon, i don't think I have ever listened to it start to finish since probably the first time, and it was way too long an uninteresting tune even then. Likewise , I also find lame,

I think Ray Charles America which ,lvinays every ,today toose his show out is ten time a better song than What'd I Say,

I have no problem with the Dylan, Stones, Brian Wilson or Curt Cobain selections, but I think there must be a separate list for tunes from the 30's, 40's, and 50's, as there is no way Hey Jude comes within a hundred miles of half of Bing Crosby's fab jazzy Gershwinesque yodeling,

Dave,

I know your question was a joke but I have an answer. I knew a prominent DC lawyer who was a transvestite. He was connected enough that he got dress stores to open just for him after hours. He was a great guy and the most obnoxious woman I ever met. I kept thinking that if he thought that's what women are like, he was truly barking up the wrong tree.

Hmmm I wonder whatever happened to him?

[Some Guy]

"he was truly barking up the wrong tree.

Hmmm I wonder whatever happened to him?"

He was taken to nice farm, where he'd have more room to run and roam free, which just isn't practical in a big city like DC. He's so much happier there, trust me dear.

David Maritosko (Daily Mail Political Editor)"Platte River Networks is a mom and pop organization...As far as we can tell they have no authorization to possess or process or get anywhere near Classified Material. All signs point right now to this being a Political connection, in that Platte River Networks had some connections to John Hickenlooper, the Gov of Colorado, and may very well have had some connection to Joe Biden around the time of the 2008 Democratic Convention.

daddy- What interests me about that Daily Mail server-in-the-bathroom story is that several former employees can't figure out why Hillary hooked up with Platte River.

It's good to see the Daily Mail is digging into this story, though.

(There must be literally hundreds of firms in the greater New York area that could have provided the same services. And probably dozens that were owned by people with the right politics.

I wonder if choosing a Colorado firm might have been an effort to hide what was going on. For sure, I wouldn't have started to search there, if I was looking for her server.)

I think I should be appointed a City Commissioner of Guangzhou, China. I don't permanently live there of course, and I'm not Chinese, and I'm not a citizen, and I don't speak the language, and I don't vote or pay taxes, but what the hell, I'm there often enough to know they have some problems with stale beer kegs and pollution and cops putting the screws to peasants defficating in the streets and selling smuggled in Grizzly Bear testicles as strong Penis-wan aphrodisiacs, so I demand to be appointed to the Guangzhou City Council and I promise you I'll do something about those damned stale beer kegs.

Steyn: The great service Trump has done is to blast us free of the sort of pap of looking at it in political spheres, the idea that somehow Trump is a non-serious candidate, but the serious, substantial candidate, Hillary Clinton, as Chief Foreign Affairs Official of the United States, kept the Confidential business of the United States on a server in some guy's apartment in his bathroom. So if that's what the serious people do, the sooner we hand this country over to the buffoons, the better. That's why Trump is surging. You can't have a 2 Party State where 1 Party is a Liberal Party, and the other Party is basically the Chamber Of Commerce's poodle, because if all you do is exchange George the 3rd for the Chamber of Commerce, the Revolution was a complete waste of time.

Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for president, has been under fire for months after revelations she exclusively used a private email account during her time at the State Department.
