It's also fairly well documented that not unlike Mossadegh etc, CIA branch-offs like NED and NDI are openly funding Uyghur "East Turkistan" and "Occupy Central" etc https://www.ndi.org/hong-kong-des

Such a backpedal from Windows 8's metro. Windows 7 almost made the title bars non ugly and now we're back to Windows 95 style title bars.

Such lols for their poorly photoshopped hd vs 4k image. Like they said themselves just next to the image, it's 4 times more pixels, not 1000 times more pixels like that image seems to suggest.

Wonder if it's possible to sue the patent clerk that admitted the patent application in the first place. Keep the fight even further from the homeland.

This. The root conflict of interest in the whole bay area housing issue. Existing residents vote on propositions to block new construction that were approved 20 years ago. New residents prop up the region's economic vitality with new i

Can't. They would have done it a long time ago and stop clogging the freeway if they could but Mountain View doesn't allow zoning of any additional residential areas in the city. Typical bay area NIMBY-ism.

Metro isn't flat either. There's a Z axis and objects get pushed back when you tap on them.

Your advocacy in support of ISP monopolies will only end up costing you more should you be successful. What you pay your ISP has little to do with their infrastructure. Look at other countries with similar subscribers/km2. Rates you&#x

Very misleading title. It should be called "My personal opinions on top mistakes that C# programmers make". There's otherwise, no data, no study, no reference on what's actually the top mistakes that C# programmers make.

Integrating to client side is also just half of the story. It can also be the new node.js which didn't have to integrate with anyone.

Argument's kinda extensible to say Huston is both cheap and well equipped as a city but neither them or you or I are in Huston. It's a bit of a stretch to say to wanting to live in areas with desirable weather is delusional.

Ya, it's a ridiculous example but I'm just pointing out the difficulty of codifying vigilantism into law. If illegally killing people who double park is not appropriate, is stealing their TV appropriate? Is hacking their email acc

It's a pretty generic 'taking the law in your own hand' argument though. If you illegally double park and as consequence, I illegally shoot you and your whole family, debating what I did is besides the point since the real de

I just moved to the area and have little context, wondering what solution are the local residents fighting for? I'd imagine going back to an idyllic agrarian past is probably not viable. Is the proposal for companies to pay a special m
