>Some U.S. government agencies are using IT systems running Windows 3.1, the decades-old COBOL and Fortran programming languages, or computers from the 1970s.

>A backup nuclear control messaging system at the U.S. Department of Defense runs on an IBM Series 1 computer, first introduced in 1976, and uses eight-inch floppy disks, while the Internal Revenue Service's master file of taxpayer data is written in assembly language code that's more than five decades old, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.

>Some agencies are still running Windows 3.1, first released in 1992, as well as the newer but unsupported Windows XP, Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, noted during a Wednesday hearing on outdated government IT systems.

>The government is spending more than US$80 billion a year on IT, and "it largely doesn't work," Chaffetz said during a House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. "The federal government is years, and sometimes decades, behind the private sector."

-Who is 'PJS' and 'YMA'?
-Who is the A-List actor who paid £195 for a hooker?

I normally don't care, but have heard about it too much and now I have an 'open loop' in my head.
(like if you see 2/3rds of a film, you often wanna see the end even if it's shit, because it's less mental energy to watch it and 'close the loop' than to leave an 'open loop' - look up The Ziegarnik Effect for more info)

I hate to be so fucking pleb as to even post this, because 99.9% of celeb news is pleb tier shit, but I'm a britbong and we have super-injunctions banning news and we can't read about it here.
(inb4 free speech argument etc I usually don't care enough)

>inb4 learn2google shithead

It's too popular now, search 'who is' and top results are 'who is PJS'
Google is just fucking spammed with linkbait and stories that tease you, then don't reveal anything.

They all use 500+ words to tell you what they can't tell you and why, blah blah

>Republicans have opposed FCC efforts to impose net neutrality rules for years, and they are trying again with their 2017 budget proposal.

>Not only would the plan prevent the FCC from enforcing its net neutrality rules, it would also end its plan to boost set-top-box competition, not to mention gut the agency's funding.

>"We are still reviewing impacts and we will work with the committee staff to make them aware of potentially critical resource shortfalls," an FCC spokeswoman told PCMag.

>The $21.7 billion proposal cuts the FCC's budget by $69 million to $315 million and prohibits the agency from implementing net neutrality orders until "certain court cases" are resolved (which could happen any day now).

>The proposal also stops the new "unlock the box" rules, which would open up TV data to innovators who can create new consumer hardware and software to replace traditional set-top boxes, "until a study is completed."

>Meanwhile, the bill "prohibits the FCC from regulating broadband rates," something it recently proposed for business data services. And the GOP wants the agency to make new rules public before they are voted on by the commission. As it stands, the FCC chairman drafts a proposal and circulates it to fellow commissioners before it's voted on at a public FCC meeting. At that point, the draft is open to public comment before a final vote, but the GOP wants the public to have access to drafts for 21 days before the first vote.

For all of you that have been living under a dark hole for some time, the FDA is essentially trying to destroy vaping.

These regulations can be found in this 499 page document here: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/05/10/2016-10685/deeming-tobacco-products-to-be-subject-to-the-federal-food-drug-and-cosmetic-act-as-amended-by-the

Now, to summarize what this is saying is that Cigars and Electronic Cigarettes will be classified as a tobacco product, and so with all Vape Liquids.

This means that every time a company comes out with a new product it will have to go through an application process, and in case you are unaware, just to send an application to the FDA costs roughly a million USD (and this is for every product that is made).

This could mark the end of vaping as we know it, and these regulations will go into effect in the months to come.

Companies simply will not be able to pay for the application process for their products, and all products on the market will be cigalikes.

Now, thoughts?

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/us/politics/bernie-sanders-derides-pick-of-clinton-allies-as-convention-committee-leaders.html?_r=0

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is seeking to bar allies of Hillary Clinton from leading the powerful rules and platform committees of the Democratic National Convention in July, escalating his battle with party leaders.

In a letter sent on Friday to party officials, lawyers for Mr. Sanders said that the appointments of Barney Frank, the former Massachusetts congressman, and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy of Connecticut violated party rules. Mr. Frank is to co-lead the rules committee, and Mr. Malloy the platform committee.

In the letter, Mr. Sanders’s lawyer Brad Deutsch said that both men have been “harsh, vocal critics of Senator Sanders, and equally active supporters of his challenger, Hillary Clinton.” Mr. Frank has called Mr. Sanders “outrageously McCarthyite” for his suggesting that Mrs. Clinton would be influenced by her speaking fees from Wall Street; Mr. Malloy has led efforts among Clinton allies to attack Mr. Sanders’s record on gun control.

Under convention rules, Mr. Deutsch said in the letter, their open criticism of Mr. Sanders made them unfit to co-lead the committees.

“Their criticisms of Senator Sanders have gone beyond dispassionate ideological disagreement and have exposed a deeper professional, political and personal hostility toward the senator and his campaign,” Mr. Deutsch wrote. “The chairs therefore cannot be relied upon to perform their convention duties fairly and capably while laboring under such deeply held bias.”

Democratic officials replied on Saturday morning with a letter from Jim Roosevelt, a retired health insurance executive, and Lorraine C. Miller, who head the party’s permanent rules and bylaws committee. They said the appointments did not violate party rules, and that Mr. Sanders had not demonstrated otherwise.

Too long to post the rest. This should be interesting.

Donald Trump is taking Reddit.

Seemingly out of nowhere, the place nicknamed "the front page of the Internet" has been flooded with pro-Trump materials over the past two months.

Up To 200 Lions Could Be Culled In Zimbabwe Due To The Cecil Effect
Posted: Saturday, March 5th 2016 | By: Ginn Andrews


One of Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife reserves, the Bubye Valley Conservancy, recently announced that they must reduce their number of lions, currently at 500, by at least 200.

This “issue” is being called “The Cecil Effect” by some, as the overpopulation is being attributed to the fact that trophy hunters are afraid to hunt after the uproar over Cecil the lion’s death at the hands of American dentist Walter Palmer
