The whole ban is a hysterical overreaction, not the reporting on it. Look, I'm all for better vetting of travelers to the US. But first, tell me what problems there are in the first place, and then tell me how you plan on fixing them.

Have you been in Quebec? Montreal is more like a central European city than anything in the US. I haven't been to Quebec City but I gather it's not much different. It's also starkly different if you look at share of wealth. C

You're in a thread responding to someone (who I happen to agree with as well) that disagrees with you on "There is no way a Macbook can compete with a proper Thinkpad". It's a bit a of a bold claim. I disagree with you o

Take it from another perspective, this is more like a cofounder (or really, two cofounders) being so headstrong that he won't budge on his opinion for the good of the company. If you explain clearly your viewpoints on diamonds, where t
