They better not drop it from the Mini!

I applaud your optimism that an updated Mini will arrive in my lifetime!  

I look forward to these appearing in Macs in 2020.

Provisions therefor are in the Constitution. No laws need to be passed and no budget needs to be appropriated.

Oh no, not the Constitutional Provisions claim. That's only been stated on Trump sites, and they don't even get it close.  Just another thing Trump figures if he says it enough times people will believe it.  No, there's noting in the Constitution that gives the go ahead to build the wall.   The WSJ gives some insight into what Trump has claimed:   http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-crumbling-wall-plan-1460320010 


It's from April but the gist still holds.  Trump claims if Mexico refuses to pay for the wall he will rewrite The Patriot Act to completely cut off money from crossing the border.  This is Trump's claim, not the WSJ's, and there are many reasons why neither that nor any Plan B or C will work.   

A wall *could* be built, it's not completely unfeasible, but not by Trump, and not for a long time due to his ham fisted handling of the issue.

I'm not going to repeat what Trump said IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION to another person who was quite receptive to his "offensive" comments, but with regard to your "loser who probably hasn't had sex in a long time" comment... I take it you're not familiar with the stunningly beautiful women Trump has been married to and the number of kids he's fathered?

Your argument that if someone says something in a private conversation it can't be used as an indicator of their character is not only not accurate, but I would say that it's the best indicator of all.

How does CCC compare to the cheaper SuperDuper? Does it work better/faster, do more, etc.?

And does SuperDuper work with Sierra?

Not sure if this still holds but my experience with SD (a fine program except for this caveat) was that, left running overnight on a drive with a dodgy file or two, it ran through the entire long process and gave me an alert that there had been a problem with the task but gave no further info, which file was corrupt or anything, and had aborted at some point, so I had accomplished nothing.  I ran CCC on same and got a report on the files with problems and it either skipped them or copied them and noted their issue (can't remember) and completed the task.  This was several years ago but it was all I needed to know to go with CCC.

However, I’ll take Trump’s partial base’s economic knowledge to the mathematical assurance that Hillary’s (et. al.) ENTIRE base does not know how the economy works.

 What alternate universe have you been observing for you to reach that conclusion?

...I'd enjoy seeing an external bluetooth backlit keyboard with touch bar, 'for the rest of us'...?

Yes! 

Yes. I find the placement of the touchbar to be a great use of the space but not where I could see the ergonomics winning me over.

Three fucking new members just to complain here, how MacRumors. Any way we can automatically transfer their memberships there, or possibly they're already members and just came here to spread their stink around.

Actually, it's the responses to them that sank the thread.
