You would cry if you see those "patents" MS is using for extortion. Most have nothing to do with OS. If any is related, MS is too scared to disclose it because it would be against Linux or Unix (which is around for 40-50 years).

I think Markdown is mediocre. Putting too much meaning to white spaces is not exactly a bright idea for a markup language IMO.

Well, Activex was windows only. At least you can run in three big platforms now. And probably Android later. This is not activex, perhaps Adobe AIR is kind of similar, but it was not web centric.

When talking about press, I was talking in general. But yes, on recent events, few press focused on police brutality, and some focused on protester's vandalism. I still believe all mass media is business so I am not shocked with their beha

This was a personal question actually. I am no supporter of current Government, but most things you say can be counter-answered. - Some press reports things less than you like. Some reports with exaggeration. Blame the first group if you wa

So pink lipstick is allowed? Please. Those things are better explained with Hanlon's Razor rather than a sinister grand scheme set by evil government. After the initial protests, indeed it really boils down to an unrest against police bruta

You are joking right? Tell me one thing you could do 5,10,20 years ago and cannot do now that supports your future predictions. I am excluding drinking booze in public places.

Haven't you diverted the subject completely? You basically say you see islam as a big threat so people must be stopped doing anything according to it. I am just not in your way of thinking here and debate has become harder and harder. About

Conspiracy assertions like "trying to kill us" and "civil cops looting" make me no longer want to continue this thread.

Actually it was Ottomans who invaded Constantinople in 1453. The sentence about becoming Christian country is silly. It is the default cool-aid they give in elementary schools here.

Indeed, but honestly, if you see some parts of Istanbul you would `really` want re-structuring. After the boom of local immigrants in 80's a mess of ghetto-like places covered the city. In the first major earthquake, major loss of life is e
