Seriously, who needs Putin to encourage murder when you have the NRA standing behind every maniac with a gun? There is no "debate" about gun control and hasn't been since the flintlock went out of fashion. The only debate is how long parents are going to stand by and let the NRA defend the right to slaughter children at will.
One day "NRA" will be consigned to the same category as "KKK", that other organisation that spouts garbage about protecting freedom when what they mean is the right to kill at will.
Every decent person in America should be down at their local NRA office and riding the people inside out of town as if they were drug dealers hanging around schools (another group of death merchants they closely resemble).
Fuck the NRA, fuck the gun manufacturers, and fuck the over-grown children that want to walk around with guns pretending that they're John Wayne fighting the Mexicans or some shit. Just fuck all those asshole "It's okay because it wasn't my kids that were killed" murder-sponsors.
Any audio review that doesn't have the words "blind" and "double" in close proximity is just someone defending or attacking something they have an emotional reaction to. I thought we'd worked that out by now.
If he'd just posted the "bias" section and the words "I liked it", it would have had exactly the same useful content for anyone wondering whether to buy the thing.
If the fascist Chinese government hasn't been overthrown in a bloody revolution by now, I don't think the issue is industrialisation. It's not like the peasants in 1980 were standing around and agreeing not to hurl themselves at the tanks because they'd heard that there might be a new textile sweatshop opening soon.
"I love it when Americans attempt to portray their own laws as natural laws and everyone else's as quaint constructs that won't hold up during stress."
That's nice. I'm not an American, nor do I play one on TV.
However, trying to control the use of your image in a world where 5-year-olds have cameras and YouTube allows anyone - literally anyone - to upload video for global consumption, the truth is that controlling your image is only something that the ultra-rich can do. And the ultra-rich have always been able to get by just fine without worrying about the law, wherever they are and since before your, (or anyone else's) country existed.
Yes, I am joking. In reality I grew up in a period when it was thought important to teach children about the Nazis. As a result, at school, we were shown film of mass graves, concentration camp liberations, executions by firing squad, and even a very, very short clip of Hitler's generals hanging from the piano wire after the failed assassination attempt.
All Apple had to do was advertise this from the start as a feature and let you turn it off if you wanted to; competitors would have been rushing to copy it! They've been strung up by their own controlfreakery and secrecy. Idiots.
This is not an Intel only problem; It's a fundamental design flaw (or oversight) that affects most modern processors. While Intel is taking the bulk of the blame on this, my take is this could very well be a catastrophe for smartphones, where each additional clock doesn't just affect performance. Losing a couple of hours a day of battery is pretty significant and quite possible.
There are two issues: Meltdown, which is easyish to exploit and affects all post-1995 Intel processors and 4, count 'em 4 Arm processors. Then there's Spectre which is hard to exploit and affects some other processors, but mostly Intel. Intel want everyone to believe that this means every vendor's in the same boat. They've done a very good job at this pretence but it is still a pretence. Or, "lie" if you prefer.
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said the new problems are much more easily fixed by other people who knew what they were doing. "After all," he continued, "do you want the idiots who did this to work on the fix? You're better off doing it yourself. I'll be at the beach if you need me."
I can't see YouTube or Google Books' industrial-scale copyright violations being stopped by this new policy, can you?
And Scribd is the biggest piracy site on the Web as far as normal punters are concerned; will it get blocked? I doubt it.
"Full of guns" is not "There are genuinely people who just own guns here". Ex-cops have guns in case anyone comes after them for fiddling their injury claims, er, previous jobs, and farmers have shotguns, and a few people have them for clay pigeon shooting or just general pouncing around in front of Ulster Tatler-reading bimbos. Gun ownership in NI is 1/9th of the USA (pre capita). That's not the impression you're giving to an audience of (largely) Yanks who think owning a gun is normal (which, actually, it isn't quite in the USA for an adult).
Someone at Intel has spun BeepingComputer - Google said that nearly all CPUs MADE BY INTEL since 1995 are likely to be vulnerable.
Way to rescue your stock price, man. Good work from msmash and/. for repeating the lie too.
I'm really from Northern Ireland and it's not "full of guns". The police do have them and most farmers have shotguns. Beyond that no one other than some criminals and a tiny number of gun nuts have guns.
Ignore anything this bozo claims about NI; he's making it up.
"Yes, we should take away Trump's Twitter, it would be appropriate."
I think it would be a better idea to just fire him and put in someone who isn't a completely worthless fucking pile of despicable immoral dishonest perverted shit.

Nothing to forgive, the headline is just bad English, although technically allowable.

That's great as long as I can turn it off. If I can delete it completely so I get the space back, even better; knock yourselves out.

Cnut! Message from Cnut? Anyone seen a "King Cnut"? I have a message from "The Sea" for Cnut.
Man promoted by liar turns out to be a liar. Wow.

And, to be fair, I didn't grow up to be a Nazi.
When I was a kid we watched programmes about blacksmiths who made knives! I still have flashbacks.
So it doubles as a head-warmer! Let marketing sort it out.
