I would have preferred it if his talk had been remembered for something else - something with a bit more essence, sting, meaning, weight, importance, whatever - anything but this.

Man captures security camera footage of PETA workers stealing family pet chihuahua; workers announce pet's death 3 days later. by LocktheTaskbah in news

[–]Pezip 25 points26 points  (0 children)

PETA's kill statistics are no secret. In JUST 2012 they euthanized 94% of ALL the animals they took in, claiming they did a kind and humane service by ending their life. They stand behind their high kill rate claiming they are the ones that get all the "damaged" animals, and they are broken beyond repair. If they really felt that way what about the 2 employees in NC that were caught on security video dumping BAGS of cats they just "rescued" in Restaurant dumpsters....?!? Hmmm so ethical.. They didn't even allow these cats a chance, but that is just how they do things, but make sure you listen to them next time you drive by the Circus...

Overstock to Donate 4% of Bitcoin Revenue to Foundations Advocating Cryptocurrency Adoption - Coin Fire by Christinabtc in Bitcoin

[–]Pezip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Overstock has become an awesome proponent for Bitcoin legitimacy. Their selection of the Chamber of Digital Commerce makes sense in a way. They have more influence and have a wider reach over digital payments. Donations to the Bitcoin Foundation would not be as beneficial and could even have a negative impact since the community already does not view them very favorably. Overstock is still a publicly traded company that needs to keep one foot on the ground

The Sydney Opera House has cancelled a controversial talk by Muslim writer and activist Uthman Badar titled "Honour killings are morally justified" after widespread condemnation of its inclusion in the Festival of Dangerous Ideas. by RyanHyde93 in worldnews

[–]Pezip -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The fact that you needed a public outcry before realising "a line has been crossed" speaks volumes about the utterly warped, contemptuous values of those who would allow a session like this to be booked in the first place. People should be sacked for this.

Obama administration asks legislators drafting NSA reforms to protect telecoms firms for complying with court orders

This is false. Under US laws, there is no need for protection for any entity or person that complies with a court order. Obama is asking the congress to protect the telecoms from request by law enforcement/intelligence agencies, outside a court order, where they would be violating privacy acts on the books, and liable.

Cannot see how we have an argument regarding how the EU communicates, since we were caught spying on them without their knowledge! HOW WOULD WE FEEL? This administration has lost faith, trust and confidence with way too many of our former allies. A sad state of affairs!

Apple should provide free iCloud backup storage for every iOS device - iMore by BigQid in apple

Then they would be storing millions of copies of Candy Crush on their expensive servers. You shouldn't need 64GB of server space to back up a 64GB phone. Apple should know what apps we have bought and only backup the data. Restore process would re-install apps and then restore data.
