Re: You lot have spent so much time ...

Indeed. If any one of us Brits dares mock you about Trump, just point and laugh and mention Brexit!

Re: Hmm

My first "mouse" was actually a magnetic tablet thingie. Even if you lifted it, when you placed it back on the mat the cursor would jump back to the absolute position.

There were many of these WAAAY before the 90's

Re: eh??

The difference is that anyone who says "woke" without irony is demonstrating that they have a low IQ, and due to their lack of critical thinking capability, their opinion is not worth reading.

"PC" is a valid term. "woke" is used as an insult, usually by those trying to make excuses for their unjustifiable opinions.

A less-political version of "libtard", so to speak.

Re: One way trip you say?

No, the losing side wanted to remain, and improve the situation. It was the ignorant leavers without a plan or map that crashed us into the sun. Apparently they got sidetracked looking for flying unicorns.

FTFY

But you forgot to factor in the flying unicorns!

Re: Using BREXIT as an excuse

Maybe not, but why not blame BrExit? BrExitters have been blaming the EU unjustifiably for years...

Re: It's good to be king

Wales hasn't been a principality for about 500 years. Do keep up!

Re: Nice

That is a stupid thing to do, I agree. And if I'd only just discovered him, I'd say the same, but he has form as an intelligent researcher and commentator.

Re: Nice

O'Rourke is all style and no substance. He orignally ran with a progressive agenda, and said he'd refuse corporate donations... That went out of the window after the primaries.

He also voted for TPP, and has voted with Trump 30% of the time. One example, he voted with republicans to undermine the consumer financial protection bureau, and has voted twice to weaken Obamacare.

He's a republican in democrat clothes pretending to be a progressive.

Here's a good breakdown of his record: https://youtu.be/lF93q-kmoRY

yay "taking back control" (!) We'll be the 51st state befors you know it...

Re: What about insiders

Indeed. And they are also using sneaky tactics to spin the numbers they admit. The linked article includes the following:

My Facebook insider said access logs showed some 2,000 engineers or developers made approximately nine million internal queries for data elements that contained plain text user passwords.

“The longer we go into this analysis the more comfortable the legal people [at Facebook] are going with the lower bounds” of affected users, the source said. “Right now they’re working on an effort to reduce that number even more by only counting things we have currently in our data warehouse.”

And one commentator to that article writes:

Facebook’s employees aren’t even employees. They are all contractors — most of whom are overseas. Manila is their largest operation. I think the number of people contracting FIRMS is 4,500.

Re: More information please?

Earlier versions of lollipop (and i'm guessing anything before that) don't allow webview to be updated via the playstore. You can install webview, and update it, but it will never be used, as the pre-installed versions path is hardcoded.

Re: More information please?

Bear in mind that "webview" is a generic html rendering library that any other apps you have can use to render HTML within the app itself, so it's not just about "firing up a browser"
