I would love if this will be the thing that stops Hillary, but she's as slippery as a greased weasel. She's already got the FBI and the Attorney General in her pocket so there's really no one left to prosecute her.
If this story gets any traction at all, watch how quickly she will throw this guy and anyone else standing near him under the bus without a second thought.
Speaking personally, I just like being able to easily find/get to what I need to, in order to do what I need to do. This seems to be something that both Microsoft and Apple are hell-bent on preventing. You may consider that as being "ease of use" but I sure as hell don't.
Thanks for that. Its nice to have some confirmation that I'm not just going mad/turning into (even more of) a grumpy old "get off my lawn" type. When Linux started looking real about 20 years ago I made a conscious decision to take my development career down that road and totally avoid the Microsoft world, which I already could see many good reasons to hate even back then. It seemed a massive risk back then but I feel I definately made the right choice.
I consequently have almost zero knowledge of MS's frameworks, but from what I read it seems clear that they pretty much force developers into the kitchen-sink style of app building. Since unfortunately Microsoft culture/mindset seems to have significant sway over the general developer population, perhaps that's where it's mostly coming from.

Everything you said is perfectly true but you totally didn't address my actual point, which is the question why Dell are charging an extra $150 more (my mistake not $200) for a laptop with a literally free operating system, than an identical one with an OS they have to buy a licence for.
Hacking? Wow thats a new one. They normally find a way to justify whatever removal of freedoms they are currently inflicting with the good old standby of somehow making it about child porn or child abuse.

Total bullshit. > This is not "revenge porn." Of course it was. The article clearly says she circulated it explicitly to screw over her ex.
> Secondly, this really isn't about what she did -- it's about what happened to her..... However, the consequences were both unpredictable and fatal -- and that has little to do with her actions.
*sigh" A perfect example of yet another lame female-apologist white-knight mangina argument. Everything that happened was a a direct consequence of her own choices. She chose to spread the tape. No one forced her. She chose to commit suicide as a result of the consequences of her earlier decision. Again Her choice.
>> Suppose this was a sex tape that was stolen from her -- the consequences blah blah blah
Setting up a some stupid strawman set of circumstances in which you may actually have a point doesn't change the fact that you clearly don't have one with respect to the actual circumstances.
I totally agree that men are just as guilty of reinforcing this attitude. In fact I'd blame men more than women, since women are only human and like most of us are obviously gonna try for whatever they can get.
Due to a combination of the traditional-gender-model brainwashing most males get right from birth at home and school, and the PeeCee bullshit that the mass media continually bombard us with, apparently very few men can even mentally grasp the concept of true gender equality. Most just go along with it rather than ever call out instances of blatant double-standard behavior, so are directly guilty of further enabling it, and more than a few are (wierdly) actively encouraging it. Meanwhile the rest of us just shake our heads in frustration.
I'm assuming from your username you are actually female, in which case Thank you for being female and also understanding the true meaning of equality, and standing up for it! It boggles my mind how so many women apparently think a clear double-standard is somehow self-evidently right, and worse, how so many pathetic manginas agree with them.

Urgh built-in battery. No thanks.

This. If only I had mod points you'd get them all.

Can you imagine how pissed off people will rightfully get when stuck in a giant tailback of traffic behind one of these f***ing things.

Why VIM doing rendering at all? and better yet, platform-specific rendering?

I'm surprised that he chose Manning and not Snowden.
Emacs is a great operating system, it just needs a good editor.

Its been scientifically proven that 103% of all statistics are made up lies.
Yep this.
I actually get better content since I cut the cable, from my antenna than the $60/month cable plan I had with Cox.

Why is the Linux version $200 more than the Windows 10 version? This is seriously just taking the piss.
Between a standard headphone jack and a barometric sensor, I know which I'd find WAY more useful in day-to-day life.

Rape culture? Really? Your PeeCee thinking is pathetic, and most definitely part of the whole problem rather than part of the solution.
Tell me that you would say/feel exactly the same thing if it had been a male not a female.
>> HELLO! She took her own life. That is no joke!
Yes she did. That was her choice too. Clearly she wasn't exactly great at making good decisions. Its really nobody elses fault.
