The problem is Freenode was run without any proper legal and management structures in place. Obviously a lot of its administrators ignored the fact that some admin could simply hock Freenode's domain names to a third party and when And

Much as Freenode Ltd/Andrew Lee may be seen as having taken over Freenode it is clear that disloyal and morally suspect Freenode domain administrators are as much to blame. Whoever transferred those domains must have known the possible

More deflection from the not so mainstream media outlets who pretend not to be aligned with the MSM. The next "scandal" is the issue of thousands of people dying needlessly because the Govt, FDA and NIH claimed that there were no

Mozilla has never been truly sincere in their claimed desire to create a browser builder toolkit. Even their own developers were disappointed when they changed direction.

FFS. This is not pure projection or anything. The simple fact that is in English language "man" is often used to apply to both sexes, the most common one being "Man"kind, another example being "Chairmanship". A

Why can't the word "man" be used to apply to both sexes when it is clear that it is being used in the sense of "person", ie "The tools and tech I used to run a one-person hardware company." The title someh

This is more like the situation when US companies restructure, collapse or seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy when they are hit with huge fines they don't want to pay. It was probably planned all along.

117 million downloads every month. 1 cent a download = 117,000,000 cents = $1,170,000. So the project is dying because they cannot get every downloader to pay 1 cent for every download. Even at 1/10 cent it would still come to $117,00

It is surprising how most of the responses here seem so sympathetic to Egypt whilst forgetting the Nile countries who have had less benefit from a river originating in their territories. The Black African countries have as much right to ben

Egypt is not a "proper" country. It is simply a string of settlements along the banks of Nile river and its delta. Don't let the large trapezoid shape fool you. Most of that is the result of a line on the ground drawn by colo
