Overnight Open Thread (12-6-2015)
At this point in his presidency, Obama speaks with only one tone, the slightly exasperated and sometimes not-merely-slightly exasperated "adult in the room" who constantly has to correct his fellow Americans, who are always flying off the handle, calling for options that "aren't who we are", betraying our values, and so on. He's always so disappointed in us.
-- Jim Geraghty in Obama Actually Thought He Was Being Reassuring Tonight
Obama repeatedly peddles euphemisms and false assurances. Reality refuses to conform to Obama's prescriptions. Obama is as impervious to experience as the worst men who ever lived. Obama does not trust the American people with the truth in part because he believes the American people cannot be trusted with the truth and in part because the truth is inimical to his projects.
Obama's antipathy to the United States and to the American people render him unfit for the high office he holds.
-- Scott Johnson of PowerLIne
The West doesn't want to admit the appeal of evil, because that would require admitting that evil exists. And if evil exists, then that implies a duty to be good, which they would find onerous and tediously old-fashioned.
-- Glenn Reynolds on why the West can't understand ISIS' appeal
Liberals coined the verb "radicalize" to take the onus off terrorists who shoot 31 people, killing 14 of them. It is the atheistic version of the old Flip Wilson line about "the devil made me do it" (a line that predates Flip Wilson, but I like Flip Wilson). I will grant you that the devil tempts people, but people have freewill and choose to follow the devil of their own volition.The Islamic State does not have a huge Death Ray that beams a ray across 10,000 miles to radicalize people in the West. People make choices. Global warming didn't do it. This was not a reaction to a You Tube video.
No, this assassin and his assassin wife chose to gun down people who wanted to share a Christmas celebration with them -- people who had thrown the couple a baby shower.
-- Don Surber
Quote of the Day V - But Still Edition
Opponents of gun control are saying, as they do after every killing, that no law can unfailingly forestall a specific criminal. That is true. They are talking, many with sincerity, about the constitutional challenges to effective gun regulation. Those challenges exist. They point out that determined killers obtained weapons illegally in places like France, England and Norway that have strict gun laws. Yes, they did.But at least those countries are trying. The United States is not.
-- Front page NYT pro-gun control editorial quietly admitting that gun control would be a futile gesture on the country's part
"Freedom is more powerful than fear." Now let me take your guns away based on a secret list that only I control.
-- Glenn Reynolds on Obama's speech tonight
Lawyers For San Bernardino Terrorists' Family Imply That Maybe the Victims Were To Blame
His evil bigotry: Being a Messianic Jew who was pro-NRA, anti-Planned Parenthood and was worried about Muslim terrorism.
On That Proposed No Fly List Gun Ban
He ominously declared, "this is a matter of national security". yet for some reason, all of those people on the no-fly list and the terror watch list who allegedly represent a national security threat aren't being arrested. Earlier today Rep. Stephen Lynch (D., Mass.) disclosed that a congressional investigation recently found that at least 72 people working at the Department of Homeland Security also "were on the terrorist watch list."
You know who wasn't on the no-fly list? The San Bernardino shooters. Nor was the Fort Hood shooter. Nor the Boston bombers. Nor the Chattanooga shooter. In other words, no perpetrator of any major attack on American soil was on the no-fly list.
Think of it this way: Obama is the pilot of the plane called America. We, the People, are the passengers. We can't see the captain, but his periodic announcements tell us that he's up there in the cockpit. Suddenly, we become aware of a disturbance on the plane. We look anxiously at the speakers above our heads, waiting for Captain Obama to tell us what's wrong and how he's going to fix it. Instead, we get either silence or a bizarre rant from the cockpit about the bright sunlight outside the plane.Now imagine you're on the plane: Given that your captain has just shown himself to be either absent or insane in the face of a clear and present danger, are you going to continue to sit peacefully in your seat hoping for the best, or are you going to unbuckle your seat belt, search for anything that can possibly be used as a weapon, and go to face the problem yourself?
Captain Obama is failing in his job. If the American people step up to do what he won't, and if he doesn't like how the American people handle the job, he has only himself to blame.

John Howland - The Luckiest Pilgrim Ever
Yet Howland, who boarded the ship as Carver's servant, probably had a greater impact on the history of the United States than any of them. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will sit down for Thanksgiving dinner Thursday unaware that they owe their very existence to Howland, who almost never even made it to the New World.Howland fell overboard [from the Mayflower] in the middle of the Atlantic during a gale but grabbed a trailing rope and was hauled back aboard by sailors using boat hooks. His remarkable story is the subject of a new children's book, "The Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower, or John Howland's Good Fortune," by Irish illustrator and author P.J. Lynch.
Howland and his wife, fellow Mayflower passenger Elizabeth Tilley, had 10 children and more than 80 grandchildren. Now, an estimated 2 million Americans can trace their roots to him.
Howland's descendants include three presidents - Franklin Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush - as well as former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin; poets Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; actors Alec Baldwin, Humphrey Bogart, and Christopher Lloyd; Mormon church founder Joseph Smith; and child care guru Dr. Benjamin Spock.
Remembering Night Flight TV (1981-1988 )
I remembering setting our VCR to record Night Flight overnight on Saturdays. You never knew what would show up on it - new bands that got no air or MTV-play, oddball movies and interviews, cult and niche films, some dreck, and generally interesting and eclectic stuff you couldn't find anywhere else.

click the link
you'll get to the page, there's a button on the right that says join group
click it
you'll then log in via your yahoo address or you will have to create one.

And after never publicly acknowledging the Ft. Hood and Chatanooga attacks were terrorism, listing them off as if this was common knowledge.
Bet the surviving victims and families of the deceased of both attacks are really pissed off about this (especially TN, since this is not yet officially classified as terrorism).

No OPeration -- There is a computer "language" called "Assembler" that is one tiny smidge up from the ones-and-zeros that the processor actually sees. In it, you sometimes have to force the processor to do nothing at all so that things can catch up (e.g. if you had a math unit that took 3 cycles to put the result of adding A and B into C, you'd go "load A", "load B", "addAB", NOP, NOP, NOP, store C -- if you stored C without waiting for the math to finish, you'd have garbage.)

Watch the challenger speech, or the appropriately strong and resolute reaction to the bombing of the marine base in Leban. What's so peculiar is to see a man who believes what h says, and feels honestly an anguish to overcome, the honor of the mission, the reach for something greater and higher. Obama is a sour, lazy, impatient hectorer who has the misfortune of also being in over his head and visibly so,

Oh, and back on the Bond-a-week habit. Tonight's episode: Goldeneye. The only Bond I've seen before, and I didn't really remember much because I last saw it on VHS in 1996. Nevertheless, one of the better ones IMHO. Enjoyed most of it.

I think I heard about the co-worker who argued with Farook about Islam on TV. It was the most irresponsible thing to mention, but it had a purpose.
They (the radical Left) want this to be about the Right. So, so badly. They had to eat it with gun control, and though they'd loveto have a second life on this, most have realized that this is one they "lost". And not lost in the true sense of the actual tragedy. No, lost as a political battle. Because they don't care about these lives, or the next ones.

Those terrible shooters, shooting so many bullets, out of their shoot-guns. Because only guns shoot bullets which kill and hurt people, so shooting is bad and let's get rid of all the guns that shoot, and all the bullets that the shooters use to shoot people.
See what they're doing? I'd bet any money that there is an MSM style guide that says "If the killers used a gun, always call them shooters. Not murderers or killers." This makes shooting the crime in the mind of the reader.
The non-MSM press has now picked it up.

I am not really balancing. Just "vetting" the entries on the statement against my debit slips. Of course there are some debit slips I lose. But I always retain enough to get a sense of where I was at the time, and where I was spending money. So if I see a charge for fuel at point "B" with no debit slip, but I have debit slips for points "A" and "C", then its jake with me.
And if I ever get into a warranty dispute or a "you didn't pay me" dispute with some vendor, I have some chance of documenting my case.

The fiancee and I have an odd, somewhat corporate and/or non-profit-like web of bank accounts. Most of the transactions in our accounts are auto-generated and very repetitive.
As an example, We each auto-transfer $X to the "mortgage fund" account every month -- and every month, there is a mortgage payment of $Y that is auto-debited against the account. Each month the balance is about $800 higher....until December or April, when we pay property taxes or homeowners' insurance, respectively. It makes reviewing our transactions in this account a trivial exercise -- only certain kinds of transactions should be there, they should mostly be bank-generated, most of them are the same every month, and the ones that are annual are obvious.

As an odd point of interest, most of the laws regarding fraud, identity theft, etc. were all written with mailed written statements in mind. Accordingly, there's little reason to panic immediately when things go sideways. On the other hand, there is often a presumption that the bank's story is your story if you don't send a complaint/correction within about 60 days of when you got a statement. So if someone fraudulently charges your account and you discover it 10 months later, you can't just reverse the charges or get your card to fix it......you have to sue the perp and enforce a judgement.

Right off the bat, the bandwidth is doubled from 5 Gbps to 10 Gbps. Now that SSDs are getting affordable enough to use in external drives, having a bus that can keep up with SATA-III's 6 Gbps and beyond, once new controllers for native USB SSDs appear. I picked up (for Jerry) a 480 GB SSD on Black Friday for $100 that went into a USB 3.1 enclosure that was free after rebate. This was surprisingly from the SIIG brand. They're looking to step up their game, producing a cutting edge product and in far more attractive packaging than one expects from them.
Under USB 3.0 the transfer rate is 275 MB per second, going from internal SSD to external in the enclosure. This is the upper limit for USB 3.0 after protocol overhead and the shared bus losses. Well short of the speed the SATA-III SSD can do in either direction. I'm expecting that over USB 3.1 to the new machine's PCIe SSD (1500 MB per second write speed) will utilize the full read speed (550 MBps) of the external SSD.
This may not seem necessary but I'm just starting to work with 4K video content and the value makes itself known very quickly. Thunderbolt may finally find its market now that it can be used to connect PCIe M.2 SSD at close to their full performance. The video editor market will probably see hybrid drives that contain a multi-TB platter drive and an M.2 stick for cache, allowing high capacity and high performance for the file currently being edited.
It's a bunch of exciting advances, making the PC interesting again.

This may not seem necessary but I'm just starting to work with 4K video content and the value makes itself known very quickly. Thunderbolt may finally find its market now that it can be used to connect PCIe M.2 SSD at close to their full performance. The video editor market will probably see hybrid drives that contain a multi-TB platter drive and an M.2 stick for cache, allowing high capacity and high performance for the file currently being edited.
It's a bunch of exciting advances, making the PC interesting again.

My mad idea was to put something like an oil rig on a shallow seamount somewhere far from any nation's Exclusive Economic Zones in the Pacific, anchor an elevator to it, and build most of the actual colony underwater. It's technologically possible, and there's some species of edible kelp that could do wonders for feeding it without relying too much on surface barges or hydroponics (including some that taste like bacon). The main difficulties I can foresee rely on the fact that resource extraction would be a special kind of pain, and it'd need to be of a sufficient size to maintain a pretty solid industrial base in order to meet the need for mini-subs and SCUBA gear. All in all, about as challenging as colonizing Mars... but without the rockets, easier escape, and shorter supply chains.

Spend more for the SSD option. (It's the standard on Macs now but most low-end PC models don't offer it yet due to the problem of advertising less capacity for a higher price. The difference in the user experience is worth every penny.
Over the course of 2016 more models will offer not just SSD but PCIe rather SATA for the connection. This is another huge leap that OS developers are going to be working out how best to exploit for a long time, which is one reason Microsoft is stepping up the pace on major updates to Windows.

It seriously depends on how you want to approach each of those five facets, and what you'll be doing with them. Watch a few movies and spreadsheets are the easiest, and maybe the books -- are you talking true publishing, or just something Word compatible that can be formatted as published?
ACAD and music can range from drawing and MIDI sequencing to 3D with 6-axis toolpaths and sound-crafting using blends of sampled/modified/recorded/created waveforms. How far are you looking to dive into the rabbit holes?

You are exceedingly wise to note the risk of gigging with a machine with personal info -- and yet Apple (AKA "The Borg Collective") wants to share everything across all of your devices. They have a stellar safety record to date, but when they get cracked it's going to be EPIC......and they will be cracked.
Android's security is notoriously bad -- although there are some Blackberry devices that are starting to sandbox the Android sandbox and give the user power-tools to police it.
Your music computer may well be a dedicated W7 box. It gets you hardware integration/response, flexibility, user interface, available software......and if you never, ever, ever, ever, ever use it for web-browsing, you have a decent level of security.

For most of this, I'd recommend Linux Mint (more friendly) or Ubuntu (more capable). Either will give you spreadsheets and Word docs, movie watching and ACAD. They can run on a variety of hardware and may well run on some antiques you have around. Linux is typically more efficient than Windows with any given hardware, so you'll likely see a performance boost. If you're looking for generic laptops on the cheap, monitor woot.com.

There is a lot of stuff about wireless routers that people don't get. And, since most of them operate at multiple-Gbps speeds, that can get weird real quickly. While it is a very complex subject, a good rule of thumb is to drop your router off of the ISP's router and go wireless from there.

It was actually a positive encounter. I noted that 1945 was when WWII ended, not when it began. There was some banter about when WWII started, with the lead clerk saying that 1938 didn't matter because he was an American and it wasn't our problem before 1942 [sic]. I went back after I'd dropped my stuff in the car to remind the bagging kid that "December 7, 1941 was A Day That Will Live in Infamy", which caused him to squelp "That's tomorrow."

I took a hike through a wooded area adjacent to my local town park. Basically, the town owns the wooded area and since it's right there next to the park, they put some trails through it and made it part of the park.
At one point a little water had pooled in a slight depression, maybe 2 inches deep at most. So the genius parks department had ACTUALLY put up yellow crime scene-styled tape labelled "TRAIL CLOSED - USE ALTERNATE TRAIL" on both sides of the itty-bitty puddle.
I stood there in the middle of the woods laughing out loud. I mean seriously, no one gets the fact that you can just WALK AROUND THE FUCKING PUDDLE?
Good Lord in heaven, we are living in an Idiocracy. People who have no idea what the word "hiking" even means trying to tame the woods into a theme park for special snowflakes who are micro-aggressed by puddles is bad enough, but again...the puddle was only on the trail.

I've been reading The German War by Stargardt about Germans' perspective on WWII. Throughout they saw them selves as the victims. For example, the world thinks the war started 9/1/39 when Germany invaded Poland. Everybody but the Germans.
