Britain and Ireland had a hard border with each other for 30 years.  Policed and sealed with armed British troops.  Britain never, ever achieved total border security.
Brexit should fail and if not cause a prolonged, dark recessionary period in Britain.
Airlines already moved their home bases to EU.
Banks are moving HQ to EU.
Corporations are relocating to the EU.
If they don't, they are at a market disadvantage.

Donald Trump has A.D.D. and a 200 word vocabulary.

1. The biggest impact in this election will be from one candidate. 

2. 

History will credit the impact Bernie has had on our lives.


PS Tom Hayden is dead.

Best Speech Ever

President Obama is a great speaker, but if I had to choose one fire in the gut speech it would be Mario Cuomo's 1984 Key Note speech:

Here Comes Windows 10

Well here it is.  The latest Windows operating system Windows 10 or just W10 for short.

I always wait to see what everyone else says about Windows updates to their operating system before jumping on board.  It always seems prudent to let the masses shake out all the bugs before committing to an upgrade.

This time is no different and even more important.  I have heard some real pushy, invasive, heavy handed characteristics of W10 so we will just leave automatic updates off on our Windows 8.1 operating system PCs for now.

For those who just got caught up in the hype or just like jumping in the pool head first, there is some protection hacks already developed by the PC community.  That is what I love about PCs.  We got help.

For those who wish to go ahead and upgrade to W10 be cautious and follow this users careful instruction:

...........  Windows 10 asks if you want to share all of your private information by doing an express setup or control your privacy by doing an advanced setup. I chose advanced setup and configured all of these settings before Windows 10 even loaded the first time. This article leads you to believe that you have no choice but to go hunting for these settings after Microsoft has already raped you for your private information....... 

Where there's help there's choices.  The biggest turn off to me is a lack of choice from MS to opt out of the upgrade.  The bigger issue is spying on the user.  Many first users complain of multiple pathways of serious data mining.  Not just your browser history. 

Here is a link to disarm some of the most dangerous data mining paths to Microsoft:

We will no doubt explore other operating system alternatives now and in the future.

"Elizath Warren is absolutely wrong on this" ?

President Barrack Obama says Elizabeth Warren is absolutely wrong on TPP Fast Track?  Really?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/09/politics/barack-obama-elizabeth-warren-trade/index.html

Isn't it her duty to raise questions and debate?  Let us debate.  Give everyone the details.  Show us the documents.  Let our representatives debate all trade agreements in our interests.
