Does anyone know how much money Microsoft stands to collect from companies that infringe on this slider patent?

First they came for the Auto workers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an Auto worker, and I felt they were overpaid and sort of lazy. Then they came for the Electronics …

I've been using Xubuntu exclusively for a few years - just love it for the configurability. Recent upgrade to 15.10, learning systemd. To my surprise, I really like systemd. Also h…

Born and raised in Saginaw. The differences between black and white cultures in Saginaw were so vast - like two different nations living in the same town. Things fell apart, the ce…

Trump's proposal is to temporarily prohibit foreign muslims from entering the country until the government completes a threat assessment.

"Rust goes out of its way to be modern and gender-inclusive." And yet - epic fail. What is the reason?

Browsing the names of contributors, I was surprised at the lack of gender diversity. Four or five female contributors at the very most. Rates of female participation below 5% - wow…

Bergdahl, deserter and traitor, violated his oath.

How does KiCad compare to Eagle?

TLDR; Muslims serve in Western Armies, so shut your pie hole about Muslim terror attacks in Mali, Paris, Sinai, Boston, London, Madrid, Bali, New York, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Some refugees do participate in terrorism! Paris attackers had links to Syria. Tsarnaev brothers had links to Chechnya. Not worth the risk.

Absolutely serious that elements of the refugee population belong to groups that engage in torture/beheading/rape/enslavement. We have no idea how to tell the good from the bad. Ju…

Post WW2 refugees didn't have elements that were beheading, torturing, killing and enslaving. Huge difference.

Losing your job and access to employment opportunities is a very common and very effective form of censorship.
