    "The Basic level gathers a limited set of information that is critical for understanding the device and its configuration"

    LOL, that's the bare minimum critical info is it? A metric fuckton of data.

    How about, oh i dunno, NOTHING?

    So you never heard of the IRA, ETA, RAF? Terrorism isn't new to Europe.

    That's why I said 95%. Read.

    Also, I think blaming Islam as a whole even for the Islamic terrorism is mischaracterizing the problem.

    LOL. That's liberal denial if ever I've seen it!

    Good luck with all the cultural enrichment. Just be sure to look up Taharrush Gamea before you go.

    The average Canadian IS an eco-hippie-leftie. They voted for Trudeau ffs.

    And so they should.

    Before the West imported large numbers of Muslims, we did not have the problems of Islamization nor 95% of the terrorism we get in the West today. Screen them out and you're back to the people we had before, who were not bad enough to need extreme vetting.

    Please god yes. As an Englishman I don't want that hellhole polluting my country.

    The UK could completely control non-EU immigration. It didn't, rather it accepted droves of immigrants from non-EU countries

    "It" did? You're referring to the UK as if it's one person. The politicians in Westminster did, and they used the excuse that they couldn't help it because of the EU free movement of people. I'm sure most English wanted to massively cut back on immigration. Don't claim that we're hypocritical.

    Aaaaaaand he was a Muslim convert. What's your point? That if we hadn't imported tons of Islam he would still have converted?

  11. Re:No, Britain wants surveillance tools on Britain Wants Tech Firms to Tackle Extremism (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, or how about just cutting down on the vast number of Muslims who immigrate every year? Statistically pretty much guaranteed to increase the number of terrorists.

    It's likely that the EU would fast track Scotland in, maybe even avoid them leaving if Sturgeon managed to get a referendum on her timetable.

    Says who? Spain, for one, will do everything they can to make sure Scotland never joins.

    What I'll find really ironic, though, is if they just end up with the China version of Windows 10 stripping out all the privacy invasion and ad related crap.

    Hardly. They'll just redirect all the telemetry to the Chinese government.

  17. What's that thing over there on the wall?

    The fire exit?

    Yeah the fire exit. I never see anyone use that ugly thing. Board it up.

    But I've heard of people using it...

    My studies have shown that only 1% of buildings ever use their fire exits! Board it up now and give it a nice white paint job! White is more interesting than color.

    Most people don't "like" paying taxes and grumble about them except that we all like our smoothly operating first world country with a high standard of living.

    It doesn't help that the government has huge amounts of waste, runs an international health service, and pisses away of tax money in "foreign aid" at a time when there is a budgetary deficit in our own country. That really makes one resent extra taxes even more.

  21. A lot of times when I watched a video and someone has made a typo or something, or just spoken a factual error and used a YouTube annotation to alert the viewer to the known error, thinking "they should've re-uploaded the video. This annotation is totally reliant on a proprietary YouTube technology."

    Aaaand now they have. There are gonna be a bunch of mistakes being un-fixed now.

    Who needs the sun to be up at 5:30am?

    I can't speak for New England, but in England, the sun hasn't even begin to rise in most of winter an hour before I wake up. If we were always at GMT+1, I would be waking up basically in the middle of the night, which has a negative effect on my mental health. It's really depressing.
