DISGUSTING PERVERT Charlie Rose fired from CBS & PBS, PERVERT Matt Lauer fired from NBC. Now cancel Fake News Phil Griffin. And fire FAILING Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago. Investigate! And we should boycott Fake News CNN. Dealing with them is a total waste of time!

Luis Gutiérrez resigned, going to Puerto Rico, good riddance! He won't be clogging and seriously downgrading Fifth Avenue outside Trump Tower any more. Why hasn't PERVERT John Conyers resigned? Resign or get impeached, John! #ImpeachHim #MeToo

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President. Now I'm beginning to believe it. -- Clarence Darrow 🤓

As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, THINK BIG. -- Donald J. Trump 🧠

I realized last week that I could build one of Apple's driver stacks at home. I wanted this so I could turn on its logging as well as to enable source code debugging.

Each day I updated my clients on my progress, however by today I was quite dismayed that I still couldn't get it to build. This because Apple has a private SDK called macosx.internal. The drivers from Apple's Open Source site once built out of the box, thereby enabling OpenDarwin, but now they don't.

I at first had no clue what was in machos.internal - damn autocorrect! - but eventually figured out that it needed some headers from the xnu kernel.

I figured I should try building the kernel first, but again it depends on macosx.internal. All I really needed was the headers, so I tried:

      $ make installhdrs

... which did install lots of headers, but not the ones I needed. The only headers it installs are already in Kernel.framework. I needed some of the private headers. As I figured them out I added them to my own private Kernel.framework.

When I started work again today I mailed my clients with "Working at home to continue building the IOGraphicsFamily. I am dismayed that this is taking so long."

Dismayed because the client wants to send my driver to OEMs on the first.

Eric wrote back, "Do you think this will help?"

"Yes. It should enable debugging of that showstopper bug."

"The one Lucas fixed last week?"

Anna Soubry is a Conservative MP and opponent of Brexit. The Guardian has an interview with her when she talks about the abuse she's had from the mainstream British press, death threats and a lack of support from her own party.

What concerns her now is the deafening silence emanating from her own side on this matter. “The party has got to call this out. But yet again, I feel it will be weak. They will not take the sort of robust action they need to. My whip said, ‘Sorry to hear about this’, but there’ll be no further interest because at least one of them [those attacking her] is a Conservative himself: Tom Borwick [leading light of Vote Leave, the son of the former Conservative MP for Kensington Victoria Borwick, and one of those encouraging people on social media to tell their MPs face to face what they make of their so-called attempts to thwart Brexit]. He hasn’t issued death threats, but by calling us anti-democratic, he is stoking and fuelling the fire. There’s something about these hard Brexiters: it’s fascinating, actually. Look at the language some of them use. It’s not enough that you accept the result [of the referendum]; it’s not enough that you voted to trigger article 50. Now it’s, ‘Yeah, yeah, but do you believe?’ It’s like the counter-revolutionary forces of Chairman Mao or Joe Stalin. It’s not enough that you went against everything you ever believed in; you have to sign up in blood. It’s like Orwell’s thought police and the reign of terror combined.”

This is not democracy. This is not my UK.

Anna Soubry on Brexit: ‘History will condemn those who haven’t tried to stop all this nonsense’

Very eloquently put.

Meanwhile, some people experss their regret for voting to leave the EU.

Send your wife to me, Raoul, at the Funbag Hills Gyn centre....

So, i went online and designed myself a nerd shirt (last year, my daughter and son-in-law got me a shirt with the xkcd 'sudo sandwich' design on it).

This year, i got a black shirt
Front: Ich bin ein Linux Nerd!
Back: Powered by Arch linux.

Designed it myself, with off-set print. Looking forward to wearing it for our next Catan game after Christmas!

Growing up, check cashing policy was always one of the following. Cash it at your bank, cash it at the bank it was drawn on, or pay someone to cash it for you. This arrangement worked well enough for me for several decades.

Fast forward to my move a few years ago to TN. Now you'd expect that banks are banks and they're really not going to change all that much, yeah? Turns out banks in TN (at least some of them) will charge you to cash a check drawn on an account with them. You heard that right; they literally refuse to honor checks written by their account holders for the full amount.

Now me, I don't do the whole banking thing, so I can't go up and chew them a new ass as an account holder. I think I'm instead going to have The Roomie write me a check for twenty bucks and call the police when they refuse to honor it in full then take them to small claims court when the police ask me to leave. Repeating that once a week sound about right?

Richard Cordray announced that Friday would be his last day leading the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and named one of his lieutenants to immediately take over as acting director, setting up a potential standoff with the Trump administration over the controversial agency’s leadership.

In a memo to the consumer watchdog’s employees, Cordray said his current chief of staff, Leandra English, would become deputy director and automatically rise to acting director when he leaves. English has held several leadership roles under Cordray, a Barack Obama appointee who was the CFPB’s first-ever director.

English’s surprise promotion could complicate President Donald Trump’s plans to start remaking the CFPB, an agency that Republican lawmakers say has burdened banks with unnecessary rules that have hurt lending. Cordray announced last week that he would step down at the end of November, prompting administration officials to consider temporarily installing White House budget director Mick Mulvaney atop the agency, people familiar with the discussions have said.

This is related to the huge reason the CFPB should be ended, namely, that it is a regulatory agency which isn't under the control of the president of the US or funded by Congress (it's funded by the Federal Reserve). "Consumer protection" is not a good excuse for bad law.

And let consider why Trump isn't pushing harder to reign this agency in. One possible reason is that he can play the same game at the end of his term(s) by having his future appointee throw roadblocks in the way of any future administration for years (since the position is for five years, that means two years through to 2022, if Trump serves only one term or three years through to 2027, if Trump gets reelected in 2020 through some brazen display of incompetence or worst on the part of his Democrat foe).
