I almost feel sorry for Apple. Almost. I think the MacBook Pro actually looks like a better than average machine despite some of the issues. But they squandered all of their goodwill through years of neglect. If they had a normal release sc

You are 100% correct that having an appreciation for shock art isn't a crime. For that matter, neither is hypothetically attending satanic spirit cooking dinners. But there's so much weirdness in the peoples' lives that the P

That it wasn't touched by mods was exactly my point. This feature that's ostensibly a "flame war detector" is effectively admins exercising editorial control over content if overriding it is inconsistently applied.

Different camera systems are best at different things. Are you shooting sports and action and wildlife photos? Are you into portraits? Shooting video? Dark clubs at night? Street photos? There's lots of types of photography. For me I&#

Is it just me, or has this post dropped from the front page suspiciously quickly? In just 2 hours it went from #1 to the second page I think. I'm trying to notice these things more and more because we're seeing this "fake new

Fair enough, you gave a great response and I'm sure there's some nice things about that and many things outsiders don't know As a computer guy, my opinion is probably most heavily influenced by Steve Yegge's infamous sof

I don't like this article because it seems like a purely emotional appeal. To be sure, there's a lot of people who have said that Amazon is a shitty place to work: not just in entry level jobs, but even as a well-educated 6 figure

I hope most folks realize that you're hearing the phrase "fake news" everywhere because this is a PR campaign created by the dying mainstream media industry to discredit the independent media who is siphoning off their viewer

This "fake news" meme is as transparent as McDonalds and Burger King getting together and labeling all competing restaurants as "fake food". Don't people understand that you're hearing this "fake news&quot

This is pretty troubling: not this specific case, but what it means for Germany down the road. In and of itself, there isn't anything wrong with merely going around and kindly asking people to stop engaging in behavior you find objecti

a) Having redundant copies of data in different locations and legal jurisdictions is a great thing. Didn't they have a fire at their office a few years ago that destroyed a bunch of equipment? But why Canada and not someplace in Europe

I don't think most people understand how bad relations between the US and Russia have gotten in the last year and how badly they would have spiraled out of control if Hillary won. Hillary's favored no fly zone policy in Syria woul

I keep on seeing this term "fake news" lately, but am having trouble defining what it actually means. Does this mean news outlets with bias? Because this encompasses pretty much all of them. Or is it the news entities that were te

Fake news is a big problem. If your media outlets were caught colluding with certain corporate favored candidates or told you that it was illegal to read Wikileaks, you might be watching fake news. Mainstream media's credibility and ab

I'm a huge fan of blogs, agree with the author in general, but think he's defining "something much better" in a way that doesn't make sense to the average person. Twitter is at least easy enough for the average pers

To me, the key takeaway from this article isn't the fate of these relatively few specific people. They did something that was (probably) wrong and Google's response might have been disproportionate, but was arguably their right an

(Just for the sake of argument, assuming Russia is involved exactly as stated...) I don't think Russia had any particular leverage over Trump. Rather, Russia is desperate to avert war between 2 nuclear armed powers. Most US citizens ha
