There's evidence Bannon has been the chief author behind some of the recent executive orders. Especially the immigration order. Trump is arrogant but he's very easily influenced. And I'm not convinced he even understands what

I completely understand that. But it's a term he used for himself, and I think it's funny to semi-accurately (not in terms of actual definition but in terms of someone's self-description) label a member of a Republican admini

I'd love to see that too. Sales seems to be high for the MBP so maybe there's more quiet supporters than loud detractors. However the very existence of loud detractors about a product line, which historically has had far more ferv

I can understand why the desktop gets a pass, but I really, really wish they would consider doing it for sites which pop up those damned "Give us your email!!" forms. Especially those sites which pop it up almost immediately when

This reminds me of my childhood church, in the late 70's & early 80's. The pastor was absolutely obsessed with Three's Company. Felt like not only was it the worst show on television, but that it was a harbinger of the en

The only story I've heard about Apple lunches was the one where a guy (overweight by his own description) bought a big muffin on campus. Jobs was in the vicinity. Saw the guy. Didn't say anything but gave a stare of death at both

> But there's also evidence he won't follow through on some of it. I hope you're right, but I really don't understand this view. You look at the terrible leaders throughout history, and you'll find they more ofte

It's not batshit crazy. It's the responsible response. Trump's said plenty of disturbing things. Both in his political run and in his 30+ years in the public eye. He's erratic, petty, prone to seeking revenge, and extrem

Can Bethesda issue a revocable license to DoomRL for the use of "Doom" and still have their trademark protected? Since it doesn't seem like Bethesda cares whether or not DoomRL exists, and since it would provide good will and

>"hey, have some money...but you can only spend it at this one place of my choosing, not yours". In some circumstances, that's actually an advantage, and works as a positive for the recipient. When I was in college, money

Reddit has infamously tried to be a free speech platform. They've allowed misogynists, nazis, rabid Trump devotees, and fat-haters a place to spew. The result of that spewing has been an enormous amount of trolling and harassment which

So this ad company is not allowed to criticize Breitbart and should be forced to do business with them? And this would somehow be "freedom" and not totalitarianism?

Dislike Obama all you want, but he's let the states experiment with legalization. He's freed some people sentenced to harsh terms for non-violent drug offenses. I expect a huge wave of pardons and commutations of other non-viole

That's been such a winning plan for middle America, hasn't it? They rise up, only to vote for the politician, usually Republican, who panders to them most. That same politician who will then proceed to do absolutely nothing to hel

Doesn't matter if you're personally racist or not. You voted for a racist who has used racism as a substantial part of his campaign. You've done your part to give a racist power.

I wonder how many of us went the opposite direction. Loved games when I was a teen. Then college took up so much time that games fell to the wayside. And then almost the entirety of my 20s and much of my 30s was spent either working on proj

People really should learn to not reuse usernames. Unique password per site, and unique name as well. This won't protect anyone from government agents, but it will make it harder for an Internet mob to determine your identity.
