Kevin म्हणाले...: Ah. The pure unadulterated joy it must be to be a well looked after dog.

Except for the brief life span, it looks like a pretty sweet deal.; ११/३/१५, १:०९ PM
Hagar म्हणाले...: "Kerry later staked out a position that lawmakers have no standing to change any nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran because it won't be 'legally binding' in the first place."

Then what the heck kind of "agreement" are they negotiating? And why?; ११/३/१५, १:२९ PM
Hagar म्हणाले...: It looks to me as if this president's foreign policies are simply 180 degrees off George W.'s, and I am beginning to wonder if this is the reason why and is all there is to it.; ११/३/१५, १:३२ PM

Nonapod म्हणाले...: So it turns out our Galaxy (the Milky Way) is most likely about 50% larger than originally thought because it's not exactly a planar spiral but in fact "corrugated" with some depth.; ११/३/१५, १:४२ PM
Gahrie म्हणाले...: Nonapod:

How about mass? Are they expecting this to explain dark matter and missing mass?; ११/३/१५, १:४७ PM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: Here's the last line from traceroute:

te0-0-2-3.nr11.b006628-1.aus02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.24.30.254) 75.208 ms

This IP address is located in Ft. Myer, Virginia. It's an address owned by Cogent Communications, and said to be at latitude 38.0 and longitude -97.0.

I'm not surprised that traceroute didn't finish mapping the route, but I am surprised that the route leads to Virginia.; ११/३/१५, २:०३ PM
Nonapod म्हणाले...: How about mass? Are they expecting this to explain dark matter and missing mass?

I assume the "50%" is just referring to the volume (So if the old volume of the Milky Way was thought to be something like 33 million square exameters than the new volume would be about 50 million). I suppose this additional volume would include a commensurate amount of dark matter along with all the other stuff, but I ain't no astrophysicist.; ११/३/१५, २:१३ PM
Will Cate म्हणाले...: Ah. The pure unadulterated joy it must be to be a well looked after dog.

Except for the brief life span, it looks like a pretty sweet deal.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem that brief for the dog.; ११/३/१५, २:२८ PM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: I googled site:clintonemail.com, and google gave three results. You can access the email login page here:

https://mail.clintonemail.com/

The system is a five year old copy of Microsoft Exchange. It appears to be hosted by Network Solutions as they are advertising on port 80. You have to assume the entire system has been compromised, but she continues to use it.

This is a real special blend of incompetence, ignorance, and naivety.; ११/३/१५, २:४० PM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: I thought I might have stumbled on to something...

...but there doesn't appear to be anything here. The name obamaemail.com has been owned since 2012 by Igor Efimenko at cheapnames.com. It pings, but I don't see any other services on the machine.

The computer is located in Los Angeles. Most likely on Olympic Blvd at the Cheapnames.com office.; ११/३/१५, ३:०९ PM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: OK....I have better tools.

Here are the services detected....
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
53/tcp open tcpwrapped
80/tcp open http Apache httpd

A good system admin would NEVER leave extra ports open.

I have a complete traceroute. The last three entries of the trace route point to
15 80.31 ms te0-0-2-0.nr11.b006628-1.aus02.atlas.cogentco.com (154.24.30.250) <-- Austin, TX

17 71.38 ms 208.91.197.27 <-- Road Town, British Virgin Islands ???

The address is owned by Confluence Networks.

These records can be spoofed, so this information has to be taken with a grain of salt, but it does raise one's eyebrows.; ११/३/१५, ४:१९ PM
Hammond X. Gritzkofe म्हणाले...: If Hillary candidacy develops problems, the Democrats can run Obama again. He can waive the term limits thing.; ११/३/१५, ६:३२ PM
cf म्हणाले...: Lots of Democratic Party lawyers will be spilling over to England this summer to take Selfies at the 800th Anniversary of the Magna Carta, where the principle that no Man, no King, no queen, was above the law. Ironic, since Hillary Clinton's hubris is just another example of the rampant Above-The-law Lawlessness of the occupants of our current administration, thick in the bureaucracy, and the rank-and-file, including lots of Judges and lawyers, shrug and look the other way.

They should get on their knees at Runnymeade this June 15th and do penance, and go and sin no more.; ११/३/१५, ६:४६ PM
Fernandinande म्हणाले...: Our smaller dog (45lb) just tore up his nose a bit when he weaseled into a motor-home's engine compartment, chasing a cat.; ११/३/१५, ७:३२ PM
Revenant म्हणाले...: Neat article, Nonapod. Thanks!; ११/३/१५, ७:५३ PM
Roughcoat म्हणाले...: My two border collies are building a cold fusion reactor in our back yard.; ११/३/१५, ८:२७ PM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: If you don't like shopping for clothes, there is a service that will shop for clothes for you. Actually there are several such services, but I only want to talk about the one called Stitch Fix. One of the things they recommend as helpful to them is the creation of a Pinterest board filled with clothes one likes.

If someone were to create a Venn diagram, how much overlap do you suppose there would be between those who don't like shopping for clothes and those who like to make Pinterest boards?; ११/३/१५, १०:४५ PM
Quaestor म्हणाले...: They should get on their knees at Runnymede this June 15th and do penance, and go and sin no more.

Heck, they should walk barefoot from Heathrow to Runnymede wearing hair shirts with extra lice, and be flogged along the way by the Faithful. The bastards have a lot of sins against Liberty to purge.

June 15 also marks the 200th anniversary of the Waterloo campaign, when Napoleon opened hostilities by crossing the Sombre at Charleroi.; १२/३/१५, १:५९ AM

Those ninnies. My deerhound has had his Gigawatt tokamak up and running for weeks.; १२/३/१५, २:०७ AM
Bob Ellison म्हणाले...: My small black mutt went outside to poop this morning, but came inside to do it there instead.; १२/३/१५, ६:०६ AM
Bob Ellison म्हणाले...: Excellent question, Freeman Hunt! I wonder, though, whether that company is trying to differentiate between those who like help in shopping ("You're looking for spring fashions? Let me show you these new blouses!") and those who don't ("No, I'm fine; just browsing.")

Years ago, I mused over the notion of creating a service called TravelClothes:

* You plan a week-long trip to NYC, say.

* Rather than pack, you go to TravelClothes.com, enter your sizes, itinerary, and preferences, and the clothes show up at your hotel when you arrive for you to use during your stay.

* Cost: minimum $50/week, plus you can buy any of the clothes you like for 15% off.

* When you leave, the clothes you don't want go back to TravelClothes.

That's what I'd like to use. But I like neither shopping for clothes nor Pinterest.; १२/३/१५, ६:५१ AM
