    A lot of high school kids, some in Australia were in the top warez groups back in the day. Very few people with full time jobs had the time to be super active in the 'scene'. It wa…

    The drivers are just a stopgap until most Uber rides are self driving cars. They're all screwed in the end anyway.

    I'm not airing anything except I think her article was bitter - you can read into that until the cows come home.

    Personally I don't feel that airing someones dirty laundry on a huge website is an appropriate venue. Isn't this exactly what support groups like AlAnon and therapy aim to address …

    She claims to be ashamed to admit to a periodontist that her husband died of alcohol related causes... Then proceeds to describe on a hugely trafficked website how he urinated in a…

    What a bitter, twisted thing to write about a dead person. It seems her husbands problems have become a large part of her identity, and what greater way to feel better than write a…

    Hey, Jake here from Frisbi. Do you think WebRTC is a good enough selling point to have somewhere on the main page? Regarding open source, we may go down that route quite soon - the…

    Yeah, I wasn't saying that at all. I was attempting to show that his response was a strawman. After further reading I'm guessing his entire online personality is an act though so t…

    It's the condescending way you write that makes you seem like an asshole... i.e saying "Hahahahah" all the time - I don't particularly disagree with your points but the insulting t…

    No one is talking about minimizing it's importance. If anything, you're trying to 'minimize the importance' of the enslavement of people in practically every civilization on earth,…

    How can you possibly make this generalisation? On IRC, people can assume whatever they like. Everyone might as well be naked running around doing the tango, if that is how that per…
