This is sad. There is no proof that this person was the one who stole the phone (Of course, there is no proof that he wasn't). I wont tell you what to do, but I would never do something like this unless I'm confident that I have t

And we need people like Richard Stallman to provide a contrast. That said, I think the guy provided a fair article on how things might turn out based on how they are currently progressing.

I've been working on a project like this that's nearing completion (it works, and the api is mostly complete). It differs from this in that it uses any normal browser to fulfill requests (via extensions). The idea is to have a pythonic API

The prevalent attitude here is worrying. As a non-american, I think diversifying and spreading the production (and knowhow) of technology is a good thing, in pretty much the same way not having only one browser/os vendor is a good thing. It

no, it doesn't. You just haven't played long enough for a another piece to become a worse than the one you're playing. Also, it's possible to finish a line using one piece (multiple lines actually).

Voice recognition has always been patchy or non-existent for languages other than English, and it's a deal breaker for something that relies _primarily_ on voice for input. That's the point I believe he was making. I don't think he was refe

Doesn't this create a conflict with other copyright laws such as the one related with the night lighting of the Eiffel Tower? Who owns the copyright to such photos? And on a related note: with this law, who owns a photo of person? the photo

It's clear from your comment that you are against the ruling and the man's actions, but calling him "clown" doesn't add anything and, in some cases, takes away from any point you're trying to make. If you have a point to make, I'm sure you

What did Huawei do to become a security threat? I fail to see how Huawei can be any more of a security threat than companies such as Broadcom or Cisco. If Huawei has indeed acted in bad faith, then make their actions public so other nation

What AMD and intel don't seem to realize is that people like me have no qualms moving to platforms that do support linux (Even if we end up using a raspberry pi to do our main computing). The result is that amd will just alienate some of it

This makes some sense if they are truly worried about national security, but Australia shouldn't limit its doubts to Chinese technology since any country can in theory (this includes the US, Korea, or any other technology producer).

I hate patents. I see them as a reason why true innovation slowed down. I think ALL patents should be thrown out. However , claiming that this patent is ridiculous is ridiculous, at least if you take a look at how it is similar to patents
