If I were in his shoes, I'd do the math and figure out that deleting any Nazi FB pages and telling them to fuck off was good for business. I would ALSO tell the german government to go fuck themselves, since the freedom of speech is not negotiable.
I stand for the freedom of speech, and that necessarily includes speech that I find disgusting, whether it's nazis lying about the holocaust, or wannabe nazis like you trying to rationalize censorship.
We Germans will not accept that the victims are further humiliated by the denial of the holocaust.
Speaking as one of the people that the Nazis would have killed if they'd had the chance: fuck you. You don't honor the victims of the holocaust by outlawing any kind of speech. When nazis lie about their crimes, you speak up and report the truth.
If we (the U.S.) had any sense we'd do the same thing with the KKK and symbols of the Confederacy
So, you're claiming that overruling the first amendment is a "sensible" thing to do? Maybe it's just as sensible to forcibly shut YOU up, since you're obviously hostile to our tradition of free speech, you un-American traitor. By your own "logic", you have no grounds to object.
Germany still has Nazis, they just don't get to display the swastika or deny the holocaust. Maybe these measures inhibit their recruiting, maybe they don't.
if FB wants to remove it, that's their prerogative. If you don't want to see it, you can quit using FB, and that's your prerogative, too. Forcing FB or anyone else to remove anything just because you don't want to see it, is NOT your prerogative.
Scully increased Apple's revenue ten fold during his tenure as CEO. It was the idiots who followed him that tanked the company.
No, Scully allowed Apple to become unmanageable, Spindler nearly died trying to get a lid on it, and then Amelio made the decision that saved the company from oblivion, by picking NeXT over Be.
I remember the teleprompter-in-chief chortling when some press lackey asked him about the leading petition on that site, which called for legalizing medical marijuana. Motherfucker just laughed it off, never mind what he'd said about it during his campaign.
Zoom and pan on google maps isn't like pinch to zoom on iOS or Mac OS. I have no problem at all using the pinch gesture to quickly magnify what I'm looking at to get the cursor in the right place.
Apple's done a lot of work on auto layout to deal with these issues. iOS developers who fully adopt auto layout aren't going to have a problem with devices of any size.
Ever since the iPad 1 shipped, I've advocated a range of iPads in all the standard drafting sheet sizes, from A (8.5" x 11") to D (17"x22"). Direct manipulation on large, high-DPI displays would make for an amazing user experience for CAD.
Of course, if I spent the money that a 17x22" device would cost, there's no way in hell I'd settle for Android. I LIKE getting OS updates.
You send in your phone and in 6-8 weeks you get it back.
The only time I've had a hardware issue with an iPhone (stuck sleep button), I took it to my nearest Apple store, and had a new unit in my hands ten minutes later.

I was just pointing out that jcr was anti-democracy.
Democracies can become tyrannies just like any other form of government. That's why we have a bill of right in the USA.

All hail jcr, Emperor of the World.
Wow, what a zinger. I have imperialist ambitions because I don't want to put a gun to your head to shut you up.
Logic is a completely alien concept to you, isn't it?

Nobody says you have to listen. Ignore me if you want, but if you try to shut me up with force, be prepared for forceful retaliation.

A company that made a serious concerted effort to do Android correctly could plow Apple under.
"correctly"? How can you do a half-assed knock-off "correctly"?

Apple had no shortage of new products during Sculley's time. What the company lacked was any focus.
When SJ returned, the company drastically streamlined the product offerings into pro and consumer desktops and portables.

The price of college is based (loosely) on how much it costs to educate someone.
This turns out not to be the case. Go read up on how administration bloat has been sucking up those student loan dollars.

A while back the Hugos stopped being about the best science fiction and started being about social justice.
Which means that the Hugos are now meaningless, because "social justice" doesn't exist.
