This my view, in fact the whole thing completely puzzles me, Jones is free to publish his vile views elsewhere and his followers will find him. Infowars "onion-style" would have to be pretty dammed subtle to "trick" Jone

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but what does "(externally)" mean ? A tariff ? In large enough trading blocs I would be concerned that manufacturing of the non-repairable part would just move within the bloc. I'm in fav

That is the ideal but the above comment "...are up against ruthless politicians ..." applies. It's my observation that there are people involved who are : very interested in promoting a point of view; only secondarily interes

I hope this isn't too far off track ... In 2011 HP paid $12B for his company and then claimed it wasn't worth that much, their write-down suggested they thought it was actually worth $4B. Wikipedia says Autonomy's tech was &q

For anyone who's interested there's a BBC radio programme in which Glass speaks about his life in New York in the early 70s, driving a cab and finding his way to recognition as a composer. Lots of interesting colour about life in

Was this comment mistakenly placed on the wrong post ? There's no mention of backdoored hardware. WRT to the 'Grandpa' part... if it was intended for this post the guy is the most senior police officer in the UK, he's un

Is there a name for this idea ? At first I thought it was something which the writer had thought up for themselves but, given the examples from Wikipedia, Google etc, it's clearly an established idea, is there an established term to re

I know nothing about the Apple world so take my question in that context. Is there something equivalent for iPads ? If my wife could take control of her Father's iPad then both parties would be happier, as far as I have been able to di

I don't know but I guess the smaller fish are protected by virtue of them not being worth the automation effort. A bad actor can spend a lot of time and effort attacking Github and have their efforts exposed to so many more developers

"... it seems to be built from a 1995 tool called Adobe ColdFusion" As an old guy I have to say the "here be dragons" tone of this phrase made me laugh. I never used it myself but there was a time when ColdFusion was hug

It was around high-tide of 'no-sql' but surely it cannot literally be true ? I suspect business rules in XML, so effectively read-only, while dynamic data in a rdbms ? Maybe that's just my hopeful heart talking :-)

I don't have sufficient knowledge to write it myself but surely someone here can add such a section to the CGI page? If for no other reason than monitoring whether it gets removed and, if so, from which IP address. To echo the comment
