    It wasn't the Republicans.  It was Edward Snowden's revelations of the abuses of the GOVMENT, spying on ordinary citizens and collecting information that was outside the mission of the NSA.  I have no idea whether Snowden is/was a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or whatever, and I suspect most people who heard his message don't care either.

  • Users of Microsoft's 'free' Windows 10 find unexpected ads on lock screen

    My friend's Windows 7 computer gets incessant pop-ups from the taskbar to encourage "upgrading" to Windows 10.  She doesn't want to "upgrade" yet, but I fear she'll eventually click the "OK" button by accident instead of the "X" button to close the pop-up.  That's another form of forced, unwanted advertising.  I consider myself fortunate, because with my Linux system, nobody is pushing anything at me.
