    My big issue with Hillary is she's not likely to change the current status quo and we really need it. Even a proper democracy needs the right balance of corruption to operate correctly and that includes things like supporting education, healthcare, and infrastructure to ensure plenty of productivity to milk.

    I'm pretty sure if Trump change our status quo it's be for the worse.

    What are the restrictions?

    (Been using Dropbox and Google Drive here, with files backed up to another system on my network. Belt and suspenders. Can't be too careful.)

    • Filename can't contain: < > : " / \ | ? *
    • Filename can't be: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, or LPT9 (case insensitive)
    • File paths can only contain up to 259 typed characters under FAT and 32,767 typed characters under NTFS.
    • File and folder names can only contain up to 255 characters (further restrictions based on the length of the existing file path)

    Re the last item. A file in the root level a FAT file system labeled C:\ can have a filename 255 characters long and file in C:\Users\Public\ can have a filename 242 characters long.

    Another annoying thing is because it IS a military transmitter annex they can't put cell towers near it or directed towards it. Six years ago they removed 11 of the 12 antennas from it and there is talk of the city taking it over but as you can imagine cell reception around it is utter crap. Did I mention I live a block away?

    The underlying API. Most humans have a far easier time making sense of the info retrieved by it than the apps running on Windows do (even those made by Microsoft).

    Well I did mention Mozilla (who make Firefox and SeaMonkey) and many of the times the changes in those 45 day cycles don't rate a full version either. Thank god most of the plugin makers decided to not set max version compatibility flags anymore.

    Microsoft has always had a weird numbering thing.   At least three versions didn't have a number attached.

    And how Windows 95/98/98SE/ME were Version 4 and 2000/XP were Version 5 and Vista/7/8/8.1 were Version 6 while 10 is Version 10 (in no small part due to the fact that if they used Version 7, 8, or 9 software would actually have broken because of the way compatibility check are run on Windows causing thing to confuse Version 7 with Windows 7, Version 8 with Windows 8 Version 9 with Windows 9x).

    Then there's the issue of service packs

    That said I find how Mozilla & Chrome jump a whole version for their Browser on the slightest excuse every bit as annoying as you find Apple 10.x thing. As little as Chrome has changed there is no excuse for them to be up to version 54 already.

    My understanding is that fire ants are often considerably more than just annoying.

    Meanwhile, the next board with new messages is The Weather... which is just annoying.

    Quite but they aren't that bad as of yet.

    There your problem right there. Seriously though, they gotten a bit too full of themselves and it's been being reflected in things like that & the travesty Flash has become.

    This is sort of my own fault, due to both Dropbox and ACF both looking at the some of same files (via symlinks in Dropbox's case).  It also may be that Apple System 21.6's1 file arbitration isn't working the way I expect a Unix like OS to work.

    1OS X was named that because it was the 10th version of an operating system for Mac's.  Each dot release after that should, in fact be a new number, and would be in a rational world, but the reality distortion field that Apple generates makes that impossible.  The version I'm running is 10.11.6, which to any body else would be 21.6.  And I say System because until version 6 or 7 they didn't say "OS", they said "System".  So, keeping with their original naming scheme, "OS X 10.11.6" should be System 21.6.

    Then of course joy of joy they are confusing the issue even more next version by making it macOS (10.12.1) instead of Mac OS X.

    As I've often said I love this country, usually followed "it's the government I don't always agree with". My Slovak ancestors came here on the cusp of the WWI fleeing similar persecution by the Austro-Hungarians. I feel the basic ideal set in the Declaration & Constitution were a good foundation to improve on and while we have struggled and fought most of us have tried to maintain and even improve on those concepts.

    Considering this is flashback several months back, for SOME definition of "recently" ...

    Several months isn't that long for someone who's been around as long as she has. That said Tedd's transformation, the magic being a cheat thing, Voltaire's interference...

    This is the sort of person Voltaire is screwing with. I would say I hope she turns him into cat food but I don't want to poison any cats, especially Brownie, Jeffrey, or Max.

    Pandra Raven might be the most helpful of the three.
