Yep, but the hacking claim is completely unrelated to the claim of the drone striking the ground. This just means that "drone footage shows it hitting the ground" and "victim got hit by propeller" are not contradictory claims. Whether he's pulling the hacking thing out of his ass is another matter entirely.
Homophobes and racists using the same language and the same arguments for their bigotry does not make "gay the new black". It just makes bigots the new bigots. A surprising twist.
Well, this improves security at Yahoo mail by making people stop using Yahoo mail.
That works, I guess...
Okay, okay. Don't get a bee in your hood...

Sure, marriage is a religious institution untouched by civilized, secular society, which is why we still have forcibly arranged, polygamous and/or incestuous marriages that cannot be divorced, rape is punished by forcing the victim to marry the rapist, and adultery is punished by stoning. The courts and the government have no power to redefine or recognize marriage, which is why the non-existing divorce cases are never decided by secular courts, courts never handle custody battles, and there is no such thing as a joint tax statement.
not opposed to gay people. He just wants them to prevent them from ruining the (religious) institution of marriage
This is literally the same argument racists used a few decades ago to argue against letting black and white people marry.
He wasn't fired, he left. The employees protest did not violate this law for the same reason that this law exists in the first place: The political actions of an individual employed by a company aren't controlled by that company. Mozilla had no authority to either order or forbid their employees to protest Eich's appointment.
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.
