There are many more news sources available than CNN or Fox; it's not a binary option.
My comment to Fox was that I surely don't trust a source that tries to convince me that climate change isn't real, but Jesus is.

Well, I'm an atheist, but would have to concede that there is good historical evidence that Jesus actually existed.
Most of the fairy tales in the New Testament are just the embellishments most religions apply to their originators, but there is fairly solid evidence of the crucifiction - and absolutely none of the resurrection.
(Of course, even that is more believable than Fox being a credible news source)

If you confuse news with opinion as most of you fox naysayers do then you still don't have a point.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.

Foxnews isn't a news source, when it's on its best behavior. When it's behaving normally...
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

OK, but honestly, do you think that Interpol and MI5 don't have access to your data as well? Not to mention some jack*** with a satellite phone and a laptop in some godforsaken desert that just happens to be over a few billion cubic barrels of oil?

Interpol? Doubt that very very much.
MI5, doubt that too, but GCHQ on the other hand...

Would you be friends with someone who wants to check your drawers, your email and every prescription drug you ever took?
The answer is no; that is not the way a friend behaves. Still, it should be treated as the behaviour is fitting - that means with the greatest distrust and paranoia possible.

Two words: floppy discs.

No! Use Zip drives for true security. There is only me and one other person who still has a functioning one!

Sure if you want cutting-edge, but there is a concern about capacity -- if they get one of your Zip discs they get a lot more data than if they get one or even a dozen of my floppy discs.

Floppy drives were too ubiquitous to be considered safe; go with a real classic [^]that had higher capacity than a floppy while being orders of magnitude less common than Zip/Jazz drives were.

We had previously helped Unity bring Mono as the scripting language used in their engine and we now had a chance to do this over again.
Today I am happy to introduce Mono for Unreal Engine. Make C# (and F#) your plaything

Modern C++ Design defines and systematically uses generic components - highly flexible design artifacts that are mixable and matchable to obtain rich behaviors with a small, orthogonal body of code. It just made too much sense before templates and macros?

Insight from the CoderGears team - our ability with the English language is so godawful you'll struggle to make sense of anything we say.
The headline alone is just wrong: "adopted the generic programming" just scans awfully.

Before the smartphone, the laptop and the graphing calculator, there was the slide rule. It's a powerful mechanical computing device, often no larger than a 12-inch ruler, marked with numbers — but part of it slides in an out to to show relationships between different sets of numbers.
