Just... no. Stop using XP. Ideally, stop using Windows. But at least stop using XP.

But any time a scientist (particularly a theoretical physicist; they're especially prone to that) claims, within minutes, to revolutionize a different field of science in which everybody has apparently been wrong for decades, this should be taken sceptically. Obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/675/
He's basing his claim on the drone footage showing it crash to the ground. That doesn't mean she didn't get hit: Depending on how fast the drone was going, the shrapnel could have been pretty nasty - particularly pieces from the propeller.
We'd still be surprised not to see something closer to an even split between the two in the universe, considering that's where it started out.
That's exactly what I'm saying. This is shit that people should not be able to support and expect to remain respected members of society. Their position is objectively evil. "Allowing all opinions to be heard" should not be mistaken for "pretending all opinions are equally valuable". Homophobes should be able to express their opinion in whatever way they want, and society should make every effort to oust them out of all positions of relevance or authority.
There is no evidence that Adolf Hitler ever had a relationship with a woman.
Except for, you know, his wife. What there is evidence for is that thousands of people were deported and killed by the Nazis for being gay. Since you're bringing up pots and kettles.
A "sincere opinion" is when somebody says "I prefer strawberry over vanilla pudding".
"I think some humans shouldn't have the same rights I have" isn't a sincere opinion, it's a failure of morals and ethical behavior.
Well, by that measure, considering that the foundation of modern computing was created by Alan M. Turing... Eich became a hypocrite the moment he touched a keyboard.

Mr. Eich has not been set on fire for his views. Try again.
Yes, thank you for your contribution, Mr. Eich. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Well, the 300 million years is just an estimate and it could go either forward or backward. I guess they could build a yet more accurate clock to use as a reference...
This may seem redundant to you. But you'll change your tune in 100 million years when the old clock is already a second out of sync while the new one is still within 0.33s.
... that the US has a functioning rocket program and doesn't depend on Russia for launches.
Oh right.
-_-
There are two ways such a kill-switch could go:
1.) It can be circumvented with sufficient effort and hardware access. Then it is useless as a theft deterrent.
2.) It cannot be circumvented. Then it renders the handset vulnerable to the malice or incompetence of whoever controls the killswitch, and thus useless.
How... how many of them?
Maybe next someone should sue Wikipedia for declaring their article non-notable. That's censorship.
Private companies have no obligation toward any kind of "freedom of speech".
We are not a clone.
