    Secret Service rushes Donald Trump off stage at rally

    Well, I wouldn't exactly go that far. The crowd was heckling the Trump guy pretty good until Obama was able to calm them down. But of course, Trump claims that Obama was "screaming" at the guy instead. It's unbelievable how Trump gets away with lying all of the time...

    Janitor made $270K last year in pay and benefits

    it's also unknown if he's close to retirement or not. It's common to jack up the OT in the final few years in order to get a juicy retirement income. Some folks are getting more in retirement pay than their base pay when they were working.

    Which used phone for $120-200?

    You don't have to switch. Just buy from Fi and then cancel the Fi service immediately. The phone is unlocked and usable on almost any carrier.

    Google October 4th event

    Like I said, I don't care what it looks like. I'm not shallow like that. It's price/performance ratio that I care about. Right now the Pixel is too expensive for what it offers. But cut the price in half and I'll be interested.

    For patches, it's either 3 years from device introduction or 18 months since the device was removed from the Play Store. Whichever is longer.

    Transfer ~2TB of files to 3TB drive

    Cool. I didn't know about Create Synchronicity but it looks like a freeware version of Beyond Compare. One thing that I like about Checksum is that it creates hash files in the directories. This way, you can verify that the files themselves haven't changed due to things like bit-rot.

    Transfer ~2TB of files to 3TB drive

    If you want to be paranoid, you can also generate a hash for each file so you can verify that it copied OK. There are a lot of different tools to do this but this one is easy to use and very fast. http://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/
