If Hillary wins, the Republicans in the House will either vote to impeach her, create a "funding gap", or both. If Trump wins, there will be a lot of prominent Republicans who will quickly forget that they were ever against him. If Hillary barely wins, and Democrats take control of the Se...

This could be a very big deal.

I worry about Harmonic Drive's involvement: are they really trying to commercialize the technology, or are they actually trying to keep it off the market?

De Beers has purchased a lot of synthetic diamond companies and patents.

Mr. Perfect wrote:So the conundrum of this election has always been Hillary will do worse than obama 2012 while Trump will do better than Romney 2012. This creates sort of a game of chicken.

What it means is that it will be very close.

Soros doesn't own Diebold. Quit trolling. It's getting old. Really old.

New Hampshire.

If he wins the Granite State, the night is pretty much over.

He'll probably win Florida. New Hampshire is the fulcrum.

Louise Brooks?

Good try. However, it is another, more recent, actress posing as Louise Brooks.

Who ever it is looks incredible! Those eyes and that smile!

Wild guess: Kirsten Dunst?

Amazon is evil, but customer service is excellent, and I like my Kindle (whose ebooks are on a different format to the global standard, to keep you locked in.) Still, customer service from slave plantations was probably very good. Jeff Bezos is a megalomaniac who wants to take over the world, and s...

She's cute, though.

I'd like to help her fight the patriarchy.

Is there a computer virus version of HIV? It would first attack and modify the antivirus software and then use it against other parts of the system.

It could be relatively hard to detect and even harder to treat.

538 has Hillary up by 3% in a poll including Johnson; but considering the margin of error, and that, most likely, more of Johnson's supporters will defect to Trump than to Clinton, it's essentially tied. It looks like we'll have a photo finish. New Hampshire and/or Nevada could be decisive.

A dozen Turkish tanks and other vehicles have rolled across the Syrian border after heavy shelling of an area held by so-called Islamic State (IS).

What if the reason no beyond Standard Model particles have been found is because they have more than 1 TeV of mass? That certainly can't be excluded. It is possible that the Higgs Boson that was found is only the lightest in a series. There may other, many times more massive, Higgs Bosons. If the ne...

Have you checked the polls? He's ahead.

If there are more terrorist attacks, economic headwinds, etc., he could be further ahead.

He could definitely win. I'd give him a 50% chance.
