This is false for comments... it is true for posts however.

Also, reddit once said that they only keep the latest version of a comment in their database (not sure if it is still true though).... so if you want to really delete a comment from reddit, you have to edit it to some random text and then delete it.

that link doesn't work for me... this one appears to be the same thing: http://start.att.net/news/read/category/politics/article/for...
2 different categories, that's all... they both could not compete with each other (more then likely).

Most reported news appears to be negative for some reason... at least in the mass-media
crypto is just like pizza and has nothing to do with currencies in the US, no?

Re:VPN leaks users’ IPs via WebRTC on Wednesday March 28, 2018 @08:14PM (#16703369)
Maybe the browser should not have access to your real IP when you are using a VPN? so it's the OS's fault?

only a third? wow, I thought that it was less then 25%

Which state/area is next on the list?

I think that most people think that...
I don't think that CNN is very connected, but that was just a test..
CNN, what was the cause of that climate change?
Amazon doesn't want their tablets to have the Play Store (they don't come with it pre-installed), I don't really get your point.
