I guess it's possible to have an app which lets you click or enter a number and it populates the clipboard with the password. I like the idea of two factor input; enter/select a password on a phone and send it over WiFi to the pc

"I see the media fully supporting Clinton while bashing Trump. That's left wing bias in my mind" Anyone who thinks Clinton is left wing is just totally out of touch with reality.

Well, your argument was that trump was a right wing phenomenon caused by "left wing media shaping" but there IS no left wing media in the US as far as I can tell. The right wing/elite serving media like to pretend there is t

From reading that, the only criticism that seems sane and fair is that they should have chosen a different string to "trending"; "recommended" perhaps, or "curated". My expectations that i'm going to rec

I'm not confusing the concepts. And I'm not stopping you from saying what you want. I don't see the point though. There's no content there. "This company is legally allowed to deny random user #24232's attemp

No-one's saying you can't discuss it. But where's the discussion? I just don't see how you one can say "company A has no right to decide what appears on company A's servers" without following up with some

If by "extremist content" you mean religious fanatics beheading people, or calling people to arms, or giving tips on producing bombs or whatever, then you are entitled to treat this as "unpopular ideas" which "need

They need broad rules because whatever rule you come up with, some clown is going to try and get around it. Or just post something obviously against the spirit of the rules then argue about it. Users don't have a stake in Facebook, Yo

If it's that company's site then I don't see who else has any business getting involved. Do you want someone telling you what (legal) content you can or can't show? Why?

Yes but it's not possible whilst everything is done to make short term profits for a small number of people at the very top 1% of society.

That's great. Now if I could just read www.theonion.com on Firefox for Android without it crashing every time, that would be sweet.

Pretty much any post 1980's Jazz. You can start off comparing Miles Davis's Amandla with anything he was doing in the '60s or '70s (Live Evil, On the Corner, Cellar Door Sessions etc). Herbie Hancock is another one who

It's a bit like Jazz (and to a lessor extent most other forms of music) from before the 1980's, where they started that horrific over-production which made it sound plasticy and homogenous.

Are you talking to the person who wrote about helping soldiers, or is that not political, and it's just commenting on helping soldiers which is out of line? Because that seems a little one-sided and naive.

You don't need to spend more than most of the rest of the planet on the military to defend an area of land that's a tiny proportion of the world's surface. Are you sure you've been paying attention to US foreign policy

It's hard to justify a statement like "it's clearly theft" given the amount of time and money and legal resource that was used in the Google/Oracle case about the use of an API.

That'll be because the world is getting hotter. In some places in the Northern Hemisphere it's increasing at the same rate as if you moved south 30 metres every single day. The current measurements are far worse than even the most

And Obama criticizes Israel sometimes by stating that the murder of thousands of civilians or the expansion of illegal settlements are "unneccesary" or "not helpful to peace" too, but it's just window dressing and n

No, it's perfectly meaningful to talk about Israel/Palestine - and by extension the US - when criticizing actions by China. Otherwise you end up with the same narrative you get in pretty much every media outlet in the world; what

Works on my Kindle Fire 7 but I didn't like the fact I couldn't install Firefox on it - indeed, no Play Store - so I installed Cyanogenmod and everything's been great ever since!
