Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election

The ruling in this case is consistent with the sixty or so other rulings adverse to Trump. Those rulings were made by judges across the political spectrum (including judges appointed by Trump). So how do you suppose a Trump appointed judge should rule? I guess this Obama appointed judge just went al...

Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election

George- If you have personal knowledge of fraud in the election in PA, you should contact the President’s attorneys. I’m sure they would be overjoyed to hear from you. If you don’t have personal knowledge, then what you have is a belief based on hearsay or hearsay on hearsay. Hearsay may prove that ...

Re: OK, now we descend into the STOLEN election

In one of the latest lawsuits frivolously (and falsely) alleging fraud in the election one of the declarations (which appears to be an affidavit) asserts the declarant witnessed something fishy in “Edison County in Michigan.” There is no “Edison County” in Michigan, or apparently anywhere else in th...

In early November, 1992 I bought a ThinkPad 700 and I’ve been a trackpoint user since. Unlike George I don’t disable the touchpad, I just never use it.

I don’t have the knowledge to agree, disagree or criticize anyone’s assertions here. I am, however, puzzled. A few posts up precip9 states: TDP is the relevant figure. It's not some harmless "guideline." In a subsequent post, precip9 quotes a comment stating: “Forget about TDP. It's a very misleadin...

In a free market, isn’t the “Purpose” of every business maximizing market share and profit?

It doesn’t seem reasonable to me to rant against Lenovo for doing what’s in Lenovo’s best ...

Regarding your #1, the question shouldn’t be whether the OP or anyone else considers his idea legal, but whether Microsoft does. The answer to that question is clearly no.
