We simply don't know what happened and we should heed the warnings from missing flight MH370 where all kinds of media reports and intelligence turned out to be worthless. Sadly too many parties have an incentive to shape the narrative

So do you consider the coup leaders who violently overthrew the legitimate government of Ukraine as traitors and terrorists too? And in case you're wondering, no, they didn't impeach the President or follow the constitution when

An independent investigation needs to look at this tragedy and figure out what happened. I think everyone would agree on that. I just think it's ridiculous that minutes after the event, some Ukranian officials start finger-pointing an

Why so quick to blame the Russians? Would you not put it past the Ukraine backed neo-nazis, which even the state-funded BBC now admit exist, trying to widen the conflict and drag third parties into the fight? http://www.bbc.com&#

Interesting thread. Not buying Chris's (with his Apple hat on) answer though. The idea that you spend a few years to create a new language and have not even had a discussion yet about whether or not it will be open source is simply no
