Dont know how it works there but over here Mr C would be getting his collar felt as police tend to arrest first and ask whether the evidence is credible later with this offence.
Interview filmed at the Watergate hotel.
This sure as hell is one uber dirty campaign.
he is going to bring up clinton defending a paedophile in the 70's when she was a lawyer as well. So really classy!
What matters with this story is whether it has legs. On the face of it we have a video in which a victim alleges that a former US president whose spouse then and now is running against trump did something which sounds the same as those yellow brassicas that infest the british countryside in spring.
If there is any legs to this (and the allegations are apparently on video) it is huge.
She recanted her accusations when she was deposed. That kills the story dead.
Many people do. Intimidation can also be a serious crime, though.
When my neighbours moved in, I commented on the LEGO Death Star their son had built.
"It's not his..."
At one place I worked, a colleague collected all the large Lego sets. He'd bring a set in, place them on a table in his cube, and we'd all help build it.
Between that, cake reviews, and Nerf gunning clients, I sometimes wonder how I ever got any software written ...
I wonder who from the general public has been picked to ask it?
Only a subset of the questions were drawn from the public. And they only promised to 'consider' the top twenty.
the public can ask questions though?
I assume it will be a young lady asking the question.
as in ask, not chose, the questions
All questions will be put by the moderators.
You can see which questions got the most votes here. The promise is to consider the top 30.
The top ten are:
1) Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales? 2) How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected? 3) Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits? 4) As president, What are the steps you will take to address climate change? 5) Would you act to repeal citizens united? 6) Would you support term limits for members of Congress and the Supreme Court? 7) Social Security is not an entitlement or a handout, how are you going to save it? 8) How do you plan to make healthcare affordable for EVERYONE? 9) If you deport my parents, what happens to me? 10) What is your plan to combat climate change & build a green economy?

The angle is that Hilary intimidated her into silence.
Isnt the other angle the meme that the establishment allegedly closed ranks to protect Mr and Mrs C.

This has been the most unedifying election I can remember. The sort of thing one can only hope to see forgotten as soon as possible. Yet people will probably be studying it in history books if Mrs Clinton wins.

So first Bill Clinton did sonething when he was apparently elsewhere, then he shared that infedility with his wife because, you know, that's what men do, then his wife covered completely for him.
In Trump world I suppose this is what the role of a wife actually is. We are, however, in the real world.
What is the supposed intimidation? I'd seen about HRC thanking her at some event 'for all you've done' but that can't be it (I mean, what else do you say to supporters at an event?)

I think most of my posts on PB pre-2014 used that as an excuse.
However a better one is: "I'm just running a test harness."
Continuous integration and automated testing has put that one to bed for me.
That works if you can get people to check their source in.
My best source-control story: we had a brilliant programmer who, like many such people, was a bit of a maverick. He hated source control (CVS at the time).
He went away on holiday without checking in his source on an important project. Worse, he took the hard drive with the only copy of his work on holiday with him. Why? It had a load of his MP3's on it.
The last thing Corbyn wants is a semi-competent front bencher which makes his position as leader look even more ridiculous. Abbott, Gardiner, Thornberry, etc, are a perfect foil for Corbyn. Benn, Starmer, etc , are not. The public will be once again thinking 'hhmm, how come HE'S not the leader?' Corbyn will not stand for it.

2, 3, 7 and 9 specifically, Not overly so though
On 2, the duty of the president is to defend the constitution, so it's a valid question.
For 3, yeah that could simply be 'would you expand or cut social security', and merged with 7.

We should move to a source control type system for comment threads. So people check out a sort, append comments to it, fork it, branch it, and there should be multiple versions, and occasional votes on merging various incompatible versions of the thread.

I know. But ...
It's cool!
Don't get me started, I am having a mini midlife crisis here, I just caught myself browsing through the pages of a online catalog for electric skateboards. I mean yes I live right next to a two mile long lovely straight flat concrete road, but even so, I am nearly 50!

Suddenly its all about Clinton not Trump
I have my doubts that Trump will be able to turn it around based on attacking Bill with years old, more than likely false rape allegations.

At one place I worked, a colleague collected all the large Lego sets. He'd bring a set in, place them on a table in his cube, and we'd all help build it.
Between that, cake reviews, and Nerf gunning clients, I sometimes wonder how I ever got any software written ...
I think most of my posts on PB pre-2014 used that as an excuse.
However a better one is: "I'm just running a test harness."
Continuous integration and automated testing has put that one to bed for me.
That works if you can get people to check their source in.
My best source-control story: we had a brilliant programmer who, like many such people, was a bit of a maverick. He hated source control (CVS at the time).
He went away on holiday without checking in his source on an important project. Worse, he took the hard drive with the only copy of his work on holiday with him. Why? It had a load of his MP3's on it.
The management did not take it well.
We should move to a source control type system for comment threads. So people check out a sort, append comments to it, fork it, branch it, and there should be multiple versions, and occasional votes on merging various incompatible versions of the thread.
There's one flaw with that plan:
You'll be responsible for merging branches and resolving any conflicts.

The angle is that Hilary intimidated her into silence.
Well, I think Trump is going to have to be very careful with his angles. It's difficult to get away from the fact that his attack on Clinton arises out of her husband being unfaithful to her, and given the position he's currently in, such an action might seem rather unchivalrous (though admittedly not as unchivalrous as groping a woman's vagina).
The line that Broaddrick recanted the allegations seems to be completely false. It's the other way round. She initially denied the allegation (despite having told friends contempraneously about it) and only confirmed it when she was forced to testify.
Suddenly its all about Clinton not Trump
I have my doubts that Trump will be able to turn it around based on attacking Bill with years old, more than likely false rape allegations.
I don't understand why Trump thinks that going after Bill Clinton helps him. Other than those who hate her already for whatever reason it just creates sympathy for Hillary and reminds people what a sexually aggressive man as President might get up to.
I can only think that he believes that, as in Trump world, a wife is a mere lapdog there to do the husband's bidding.

Quite. All this stuff has been out there on the internet since forever, and the allegations both ways are hugely more serious than that silly bush/trump men behaving badly video. The tide has simply turned against trump.
If I had to guess this evening we will see a question / challenge from Clinton to deny something that Trump hasn't yet been accused of...then on Monday morning we get a new video.
Gatwick Airport to plan new runway even if Heathrow wins The West Sussex hub remains "ready to deliver" another runway, even if Heathrow is chosen as the preferred site.
I wouldn't have a problem with that as long as Gatwick Airport Ltd.(GAL) are also prepared to pick up the tab for several billions of pounds of associated infrastructure costs that would be necessary to make their new runway work. Knowing GAL of old I would expect they would want the taxpayer to pay for "anything outside the perimeter".

Yeah. Economic issues are what brought Trump here and they work well in a town-hall setting.

A quick but heart-felt apology, along with some specifics about how he'll bring those blue-collar jobs back, will go a long way to helping him.
Bringing up Bill Clinton and old stuff won't, not from a guy who's on his third marriage.

The high-performance Atlas computer was developed in the period 1956 – 1962 by a team led by Professor Tom Kilburn at the University of Manchester. The local company Ferranti Ltd. joined the project in 1959. The first production Atlas was inaugurated at Manchester University on 7th December 1962 by Sir John Cockcroft, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who was Director of the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority. At the time of its inauguration, Atlas was reckoned to be the world’s most powerful computer. A total of six Atlas 1 and Atlas 2 computers were delivered between 1962 and 1966.

Yes she changed her story. Twice. Unless Paula Jones's lawyers simply asked every woman in american if Bill had raped them they must have heard her story from somewhere before they approached her and she submitted the first affidavit.

Not that it really matters now since we're WAY beyond a considered analysis of any verifiable evidence, but this part doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
'Broaddrick said she was neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but she supported the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016: "He says the things I like to hear."'
I suppose she could go down the line of 'the behaviour of rapey Bill Clinton made me believe in rapey Donald Trump'.

Thanks for that. Interesting how the Atomic Energy Authority was so involved in computer development. Much later, early 1980s, I wrestled with the "Status" free text retrieval system also developed by the clever chaps at Harwell.

Yes, she told friends about it at the time it happened in 1978 which is why there were rumours that people looking for dirt on Clinton much later on were able to pick up on. Her friends' accounts are consistent with what she says now.
Years later she just wanted to get on with her life and it was only when she had no choice because the FBI were involved that she told them the full story.
Incidentally the Trump tape will lead off the debate with Clinton answering first.
Not a good opening for Clinton - I am now reconsidering my long Clinton position. I may green up or zero my Donald pre-debate.
you dont think? Im sure she will have a good response. Open goal to tighten screws
She'd be best saying something positive about the great strides made for equality etc, very apple pie stuff, with some reference to how she, herself, has been treated badly, lied to, etc. Then let Trump slither around in the gutter.

Still, you;d like to think that the folks advising know what they're doing and that he'll actually listen to them.

Agreed. There's also a risk for Clinton that she thinks this is such a slam dunk for her that she will be caught off guard by some policy issue.
The last thing Corbyn wants is a semi-competent front bencher which makes his position as leader look even more ridiculous. Abbott, Gardiner, Thornberry, etc, are a perfect foil for Corbyn. Benn, Starmer, etc , are not. The public will be once again thinking 'hhmm, how come HE'S not the leader?' Corbyn will not stand for it.

After all, the really important thing in my code snippet isn't the braces; it's the fact I put the boolean literal before the variable within the conditional. That way, if I miss an = in the conditional and just put in (false = josiasJessop), the compiler will throw a wobbly!
I don't know how many bugs I've seen due to the programmer mixing up = and ==. Even if some (most?) modern compilers will throw a warning for it ...
Oh, and anyone I see using the conditional operator ? will be thrown out of the nearest window.

Gosh, someone does remember good old Awk. In the 1980s some, probably most, old government databases could only be searched by specific parameters, which were often not the parameters one needed to use in relation to certain events. However all government computers could produce an ASCII dump.
We used to use Awk to translate said dumps into a format that could be read by a search engine provided by a Scottish company which provided full boolean (including wildcard)search capability on any and every field. I did the first translation of the Police National Computer vehicle index into a fully searchable database. If memory serves it took about eighty cigarettes, a bottle of scotch and two kebabs to get the whole job done over one Friday night.
All very crude by todays standards, but that is all we had in those days.

FYI, some feedback from a HRC fundraising my wife attended:

It's cool!
You can see which questions got the most votes here. The promise is to consider the top 30.
The top ten are:
1) Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?
2) How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?
3) Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits?
4) As president, What are the steps you will take to address climate change?
5) Would you act to repeal citizens united?
6) Would you support term limits for members of Congress and the Supreme Court?
7) Social Security is not an entitlement or a handout, how are you going to save it?
8) How do you plan to make healthcare affordable for EVERYONE?
9) If you deport my parents, what happens to me?
10) What is your plan to combat climate change & build a green economy?
ie one law for the elite and another for the deplorables. I seem to recall similar things allegedly happened when Savilles victims tried to speak out while he was still alive.

In Trump world I suppose this is what the role of a wife actually is. We are, however, in the real world.
What is the supposed intimidation? I'd seen about HRC thanking her at some event 'for all you've done' but that can't be it (I mean, what else do you say to supporters at an event?)
You'd be spot on if Buttler and Baistow were still there!
My best source-control story: we had a brilliant programmer who, like many such people, was a bit of a maverick. He hated source control (CVS at the time).
He went away on holiday without checking in his source on an important project. Worse, he took the hard drive with the only copy of his work on holiday with him. Why? It had a load of his MP3's on it.
The management did not take it well.
For 3, yeah that could simply be 'would you expand or cut social security', and merged with 7.

Sometimes longer. But we get emailed the results, and there is always another story to work on. Kanban FTW.
You'll be responsible for merging branches and resolving any conflicts.
The overnight test build should then run all tests overnight...
You should see how Facebook does integration testing...
I can only think that he believes that, as in Trump world, a wife is a mere lapdog there to do the husband's bidding.
Anyone not obeying these rules will have a visit from myself and various coding standards bibles.

How many alpha males does it take to turn round a flagging campaign? I guess we're going to find out if it's two.

Then my title was ripped from me: DJango was now required! I dumped the course (but miss Ms Sarah Buchannan)!!!
How about Atlas Autocode on the Manchester Atlas in the 1960s?

"After being approached by the FBI, Broaddrick consulted her son, a lawyer, who told her she could not lie to federal investigators. After they promised her she would not be prosecuted for perjury regarding her affidavit in the Jones case, Broaddrick recanted the affidavit."
What she recanted was the denial, not the accusation.
Bringing up Bill Clinton and old stuff won't, not from a guy who's on his third marriage.
EtA: Stroustrup also used this syntax.
That's harsh.
But tell us more about Sarah Buchannan...

I don't know if "German" would include migrants from Prussian Poland or Slavic parts of Austro-Hungary.
'Broaddrick said she was neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but she supported the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016: "He says the things I like to hear."'
I suppose she could go down the line of 'the behaviour of rapey Bill Clinton made me believe in rapey Donald Trump'.
Not a good opening for Clinton - I am now reconsidering my long Clinton position. I may green up or zero my Donald pre-debate.

I'm almost completely convinced that Jon Voight basically just played himself in that role.
Years later she just wanted to get on with her life and it was only when she had no choice because the FBI were involved that she told them the full story.
If this was going to be asked half way through the debate then I'd say it was a Clinton home run. To open the debate with it is a lot dicier for Clinton.

Still, you;d like to think that the folks advising know what they're doing and that he'll actually listen to them.
After all, the really important thing in my code snippet isn't the braces; it's the fact I put the boolean literal before the variable within the conditional. That way, if I miss an = in the conditional and just put in (false = josiasJessop), the compiler will throw a wobbly!
I don't know how many bugs I've seen due to the programmer mixing up = and ==. Even if some (most?) modern compilers will throw a warning for it ...
Oh, and anyone I see using the conditional operator ? will be thrown out of the nearest window.
We used to use Awk to translate said dumps into a format that could be read by a search engine provided by a Scottish company which provided full boolean (including wildcard)search capability on any and every field. I did the first translation of the Police National Computer vehicle index into a fully searchable database. If memory serves it took about eighty cigarettes, a bottle of scotch and two kebabs to get the whole job done over one Friday night.
All very crude by todays standards, but that is all we had in those days.
The statute of limitations for rape in Arkansas is 15 years, so there seems to have been no possibility of a court case by the late nineties:

Whaterver happened, it doesn't look as if there can ever be anything more than an accusation and a denial.
Early voting for NC. A lot of minority and women early voting....
FYI, some feedback from a HRC fundraising my wife attended:
"It was clear that, while HC has a lot of support, not all of them are enthusiastic about her.
What was worrisome was that with 32 days to go (from that eve), the questions people were asking were very much along the lines of campaign strategy: How to appeal to the millenials, how to reach out to the white working class, how to reach the college students, etc. These were justified questions, but questions to which the answers should be clear much earlier in the campaign, I would have thought. If those who have been hanging on HC's every word are still unclear on this, wow, what this must mean to those voter groups she still wants to reach.
A lot of the mantra and discourse of the evening was around gender and the "importance of a woman as President". While it was interesting and there were real HC lovers there in the majority, it felt very much like hard-core Democrats who would have been there no matter who the candidate."
