Your claim is utter absurdity . I stated the absence of something, and you demand that I prove the absence of it? Grow up. My "approach" is to call out a bullshit, partisan, zero content article. If you don't like it, well

C-51 has nothing to do with that, though. It doesn't tell CSIS to start investigating environmental groups. C-51 gives law enforcement and intelligence some slightly more modern tools. For instance, they can demand that "terrorist

Basically you've made an unsubstantiated claim to write it off What, exactly, is "unsubstantiated"? Do you doubt how Canadian Parliament works? Do you doubt that he's a member of the opposition? Do you doubt that all o

You have extraordinarily low standards, then. The opposition finding that the ruling party has "failed to make the case" for even remote contentious legislation is the history of every single piece of legislation ever . It is wha

This is exactly the sort of ill-informed, partisan nonsense that such a submission is guaranteed to draw out. This Globe and Mail article conflates an RCMP position statement on emergent threats (and anti-oil groups are a legitimate law

Canada operates as an adversarial parliamentary system, and this editorial is by a member of the official opposition. It has very little in solid critiques, but instead weighs to emotions. This is a political submission, and there is astoni

As Lollipop has showed, Volta and ART are not battery savers. If anything, people are reporting worse battery life than under KitKat. Yet the GS5 shows dramatically better results. A number of handsets show dramatically better results. Th

Microsoft is going to use its muscle and position to make a truly competitive browser. Isn't this the line with each and every release of IE? Why is this different? Each prior version of IE was proclaimed some revolution of some sort

You know it wasn't fixed wing. You know it wasn't a helicopter. These are both absurd misdirections to try to justify the nonsensical demands for specificity. Reading this article, I can't really be sure if that "myster

And you really read this article and think "Oh, they might be talking about a missile-equipped military drone"? Of course you don't. This is pedantry nonsense that, while becoming common, is really that someone wants to argue

Radio controlled quadcopters, whether navigating automatically or not, fall under the definition of "drone". The terminology is fine, and the attempt at redefinition is a losing battle.

Users don't react well to such warnings, but on the software side there is the emergent concept of certificate pinning -- Chrome, for instance, reports to the mothership if an unexpected CA is found to have generated a Google certifica

Belligerent trolling? How utterly obnoxious. You are inventing numbers from fantasy, and demanding retorts. What an astonishing bore, your inconsistent, incoherent point not in the least viable. Find a hobby.
