What if, for example, a piece of software is logging your key presses without your knowledge? You could have the best, most secure password but you're typing it into a complex machine which could be doing any number of things. Don'

This is a rare Trump win. There are many things to criticize him for, but this pardon isn't one of them. I don't think anyone, after researching this case, would be okay with the life sentence handed down to Ross.

True, I use the web version of Office when it makes sense. I only reserve an actual desktop for things like Word because it doesn't work as well in the browser. I'm not a heavy Office user though, so YMMV.
