Go fuck yourself. The truth is the truth whether you like it or not.

Clearly you haven't lived in close proximity to these people. They trickle in, respect no boundaries and no laws. Now if they integrated and contributed to the regions culture and …

They are Bangladeshi Muslims, much like the "Assamese" flooding the labor market in South India right now. Get ready for your comment to be down voted into oblivion, the usual reac…

Anyone who understand Bengali should listen to the "Rohingya" language. The similarities are unmistakable, even if you can't understand either. If they really have been in that are…

I agree. Not only is it the fastest, it's also the most reliable. I have Firefox thrashing about more often than not, and I refuse to use Chrome or its google infected variants. Br…

Safari may be broken but it's not as broken as ie6 was back in the day.

There's no if about this. He's obviously gearing up for standing for election. Looking at the last two candidates, who can blame him? One a has-been with dubious morals and the oth…

I might have forgiven them if they had gone USB C. But they launched the 7 without a jack and the latest MacBooks without USB A so their latest phone couldn't connect to the latest…

And the NSA is trustworthy. Okay then.

The first I've heard of this. Any citations?

Microsoft and Google are definitely vectors both for themselves and as puppets for the US govt. Apple isn't there yet, but who knows when they'll be compromised.

The NYT had been quite biased for a long time. I think the last time they did any real journalism was during the first major Wikileaks story - the one where Greenwald played a big …

The communities already there appear to be as toxic as reddit, so good job. I guess.

Can concur. I spent 5 years dealing with a German company and the obsession with spreadsheets, processes and plans for the most trivial of projects lead to major overruns. They're …

The Paris attacks were coordinated by plain text SMS. This is just propaganda designed to lead to curbs on encryption. They won't focus on the real reason for modern terrorism, whi…

That's pretty much what happens to de facto monopolies. I've heard much the same about Microsoft's program managers.

Alternatively here's my curated list: Mozart Erbach Handel

Why would anyone go back?

That cop belongs in jail. People who enforce the law should be held to higher standards. But he'll get paid leave, and will be back once it all blows over.

After buying a number of apple accessories, I've come to the conclusion that Apple treats them as disposable items. I've upgraded from the Apple 1 through 3 and then switched to th…

I don't care much for Apple but I agree they're the best of the lot when the lot consists of companies like Facebook, and Google. My beef with Apple is their holier-than-thou attit…

Secure means encrypted. Most people, leave alone journalists, don't know how to set up PGP and then use it properly. It's there right in the article as well; the reference to secur…

> scapegoat I wouldn't be surprised that happened ultimately, but I really don't think that she was hired with that role/goal in mind. No one could be that evil. Could they? If you…

Interesting. I whitelisted this site, and 2 of the 4 ads it displays on each refresh are from Facebook. I've never had an FB account and they seem to know it.

Well, I do run a content blocker on macos/IOS which turns off all comments on all websites, but that's a trifle limiting. What annoys me about reddit comments are the pun "trains,"…
