Bicyclops posted:A lot of the people I worked with four years ago used gmail exclusively, despite it being pretty explicit policy to use their EDU address, because Google docs used to be a pain in the rear end when you tried to use a non-gmail account. I am sure that is not the reason Clinton did it, but the use of pretty necessary business technology never does seem to keep pace with approved software in office policies, which does affect government operations. If the state department's e-mail system is any like the DoD's then I can understand why she would only use a private e-mail account . The Army's computer systems are consistently about 3 versions behind whatever the latest Windows release is and are usually so restricted on bandwidth and access that using Gmail and Facebook as a work around is extremely common.

FilthyImp posted:Quited for truth. The idea of tangible assets is strong with geezers. A boss of mine (who actually used email extensively) once asked me to print out a schedule twice and make a blown up copy to hang so she could 'get a look at what's going on whenever'. What do you suppose the odds are that at some point, some intern, somewhere, has been asked to staple the frames of an animated gif into a little flipbook? I'd give it more than 50/50.

If I recall properly, haven't there been a few nonscandals like this over the past couple years, where someone uses a personal email address in defiance of recordkeeping and security rules? I swear there was something about Palin doing similar, some years back.

I swear there was something about Palin doing similar, some years back. The Perry administration is pretty infamous in Texas for doing it to keep everything out of reach of public records laws. Their story is that all policy is discussed in person but everyone knows there is a network of temporary email addresses changed regularly because in person discussion is impractical these days (especially in a state as large as Texas) and it would create potentially incriminating visitor and travel logs.

Recordkeeping rules like, emails stored directly on hard drives which mysteriously crash and no backups happen to exist anywhere. If anything we should be thanking Hillary for using an outside system since her damaging emails can actually be retrieved and made public.

The Army's computer systems are consistently about 3 versions behind whatever the latest Windows release is and are usually so restricted on bandwidth and access that using Gmail and Facebook as a work around is extremely common. This is every office in the country. It's either that the systems are so many versions behind, they don't get along with any of the software you have to use to get your job done, or they've just installed versions that are new enough that the former Apple store employees working in IT can't Google the problems yet, and everyone has to find their own work-around. And that's before you factor in that the high level employees are working from home, frequently on personal mobile devices, because their personal lives and their professional lives blended together a long time ago, and there's nobody in the official tech support who can help them half the time.

Venom Snake posted:If Hillary decided not to run Joe Biden would win the nomination and defeat the Republican nominee in every national debate by making loud car revving sounds into the microphone. When he is sworn in he wears aviators and the first words of his inaugural address are "American, it's time to go fast". Honestly, everyone in the political establishment wouldn't know what to do if some hybrid of Joe Biden/Diamond Joe ran for President. He'd win by a landslide however

I know it's a sideshow but O'Malley is not seeking Mikulski's seat. I suspect that the legislature just does not appeal to him and he's running for a cabinet seat. After all, he's been an executive since Bill was president.

What's the chance that the seat flips? By that I mean to ask whether they will hit up some fuckup like Coakley or Sink who will just piss away the seat to some carpet-bag jackwagon with big money on speed dial like that witch lady.

I don't think you can't run on "no abortions ever" at the national level and court women voters successfully. That said, apparently you can do pretty well at the state level by making abortions wildly difficult to obtain since that seems to be the current mode of operation.

I've got to completely agree with you. Scott Walker is doing a fabulous job of threading the needle. I think Joementum was telling people not to discount him, because he's got a lock on the party orthodoxy thing, and look at how he does it: a shitload of word salad about how his child's ultrasound showed him that it's a live human being, coupled with a shitload of general-election-ready word salad about how the court decided the thing... Scott Walker '16 - YES WE DUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!
