Sad part is, we don't know it for sure

Oh no we do know for sure. I don't think Obama would make a huge announcement about Bin Ladens death to only be later embarrassed if he ever showed his face to the world again. Seriously, even if Bin-Laden is alive he doesn't really exist to us anymore.

Charles Manson was a muslim ! Don't touch the coran , it might burn your hands !

Oh just a last one for the fun: don't eat hallal, you are supporting terrorists !

Who knows if an american soldier wasn't killed because you ate hallal !

Shame on you !

Be a true patriot, and support the next war on Syria/ Iran / ??

It's ok to bombard some country , it's for the sake of democracy.

Libya feel much better now, it lost all it's economy, but it's free!

not all Muslims are terrorists, but 99% of terrorists are Muslims and there are ALOT of terrorists. ;) FACT

What side are you on? For their way of thought, its black and white, no grey.

before defending their actions remember the Muslim theme song :

1) make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home. Surah 9:73M

2) Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers Surah 48:29

Most people, yes, that includes white Christians, consider Americans to be terrorists.

The fact is, if you instill fear in to another, you are by every definition a "terrorist". Ever scare your little sister as a kid? Yeah? I've got news for you.

IRA is gone, you are living in the 90's.

If only this was true. The IRA are not gone. The main group is gone, but the splinters are very much alive. The Real IRA (RIRA) still exist, and occasionally you see police clampdowns in the region because of terrorist threats and terrorism in general. There are bomb threats every month in this country, if not more frequently still. The splinters of the UVF, the UDR, and the UDA are all also still going. The LVF stopped actions in 2005, but I'd guarantee there are still hardliners from it as well.

You might think the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 put all the Troubles in this country to a halt, but nope. It was signed in April 1998... then this happened in August 1998. That town is not far from where I live. April 2011, another bomb goes off in the same town in a car, killing a police-man. Dissidents threatened a bomb in London; May 16th 2011.

Just because the Troubles are over in this country does not mean the terrorists in it have stopped. Most of these acts are performed by Catholics and Protestants; not Muslims. I'd say that more than 1% of terrorists are not Islamic. All it takes is extremism to be a terrorist, assuming you actually act on your views. I'm from Northern Ireland and I can definitely say that terrorism still exists here.

hate false pretense, hate all religion equally. Christians you can put up with since they don't want to harm my kids because they are unbelievers. Just like some Muslims, they can be the best of people. Its like mob-mentatily, individuality they are awesome people, but as a group their individualness disappears and they become a collective with only 1 intention.

Wow, that's a lot of hate :(

My personal opinion, and as for my knowledge, he had some severe kidney problems.

In my opinion, he died in Tora Bora. There is no way even an ant could've survived what happened there.

But if he survived that, he might still be alive. Though I agree, he's become non-existent.

About the Obama thing, he just made sure he gets elected for the second time, because he destroyed America' biggest enemy.

if they said he was alive, imagine how many Muslims would be taking buildings and people hostage demanding his release? it would be a daily thing...

Why do you associate Osama Bin Laden as some Islamic icon?

In fact to 99% of Muslims he was a pain in the arse.

It's me saying that G W Bush jnr every Americans leader and 100% of you all worship him and wish you were him.

Did you know that the Bin Laden raid and kill was happening at the same time as the Presidential Dinner 2011?

^ That's the fantasy they want you to believe.

Bin Laden died many years ago in 2002, and I'm sure they'll do whatever it would take to keep anyone from proving otherwise.

That's what THEY what YOU to believe. In fact, OBL was taken away in a space ship at birth and replaced by an (illegal) alien from the planet Zorf!

IMO terrorist activities or evil deeds in general can never be linked specifically to a single religion. Its immature to do so. For example Hitler was a Christian wasn't he? What about the Nazi army? They were all Christians, I'm guessing so were Stalin & his goons. That doesn't make Christianity any less beautiful & peace loving than we all know it is.

Similarly what is done by few evil men like Osama can't be made to stand against Islam.

Bahaha! How ridiculous. We'll just ignore the IRA, The Communist Party of India, Shining Path, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia...yeah, that's a real fact you have there...

Communist Party of India is not a terrorist organization, thy are just dumbasses who want free money for all the lazy idiots who support them.

"Terrorism" seems to be branching out into all different directions in terms of it's defintion. Be more specific like "Islamic terrorism", which is the violence of Muslims according to Jihad. Does the Bible command & justify Christians warring against unbelievers who oppose it and take a stand directly against Christianity? Even the most tortured interpretation would have a hard time coming up with that one. Does the Quran justify war against unbelievers who oppose Islam and take a stand directly against it? sure seems to be that millions of jihadists who say so from their own lips...and act accordingly. I would say Islam does teach holy war against those who refuse to submit and Muhammad said it was the duty of all Muslims. Now are all Muslims active in Jihad? No...but is Jihad real? Of course it is.

Did you do your own head count on that throught? There are about 1.6 billion muslims in the world. So even if there were a few million who believed that, that still leaves hundreds of millions who dont. Islam really isnt different the other religions in the way that there are different sects of christianity. As well as the level of devotion by the people of each religion/view. Suggesting that becuase 1 or 2% of those that follow islam view militant way, some how represents the whole or majority of the religion is ignorant at best. Jihad for some is real, dont think anyone is denying that but it's far from the majority view.

I think it's false to equate Islam and Christianity. You might have a relatively small group of Muslims who are committed to jihad when you consider there are 1.x billions Muslims worldwide, but there seems to be legions of Muslims who support them. Either indirectly, by making excuses for their actions or trying to downplay the issue of jihad, or directly through funding and open support.

You also can't ignore the Islamic militias in Africa who are killing scores of people with the hope of converting the entire continent to Islam. Sure, Christians send in their missionaries and try to convert people, but you can't pretend it's the same thing.

Of course, it's worth noting that many millions of Muslims are victims of their cruel, Muslim rulers. Military, political and Royal leaders who couldn't care less about their faithful brothers and sisters. Who live in the lap of luxury while people around them are starving and dying.

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
