Well, I sure as fuck won't play Hangman in Canada. They'll probably charge you with murder (or some weird sex fetish if the stick drawing looks underage...)

I agree that NO ONE should be able to force you to hand over your account details... I think they should have just had her Facebook account suspended for breaking the T&C's. I could of course be wrong, but don't have to agree that you are over 13 years of age (she was not) when you create a Facebook account?

One would assume that there would be some interesting flex connectors on things like water/ sewage/electrics etc. I did not notice anything in TFA (well, I only glanced OK). On the other hand, I suppose 3cm is not THAT much movement to deal with....

Unrelated to topic but very good point. I also open tabs from the main /. page and then start reading through them afterwards. The voice-over that suddenly appeared in my earphones in the middle of Rammstein's Du Hast took a while to track down. I would even be happy to have the "don't load and play video unless asked" as a profile setting.

On the Pi, i have to confess that I was one of the people who effectively DDOS'ed the two vendors chosen by RPi. A 10k first run was not nearly enough. I think they would have sold out in the first 5 minutes if the sites did not give up the ghost due to everyone refreshing in the hope that *This* time the page will load.

It is a great project at a great price point and I really hope that schools in Africa etc see the opportunity to get kids interested in programming.

Well, you could just mention a couple of the examples of fields that you feel he did not get a representative sample from, and the 'real deal' experts in that field that you are aware of that he left out on purpose...

haha, indeed... "more like" is about as close as you can get with the sample size. For some reason it kinda reminds me of a quoteI spotted today on a cloud backup service site:
"ALL drives fail in their lifetime..." Fox.

TFA does not state you get suddenly croak when you hit 114.. That number is more when the odds change.. and the question is why.
quote:
“the odds of a person dying in any given year between the ages of 110 and 113 appear to be about one in two. But by age 114, the chances jump to more like two in three.”

I completely agree that it is moronic to fine / incarcerate someone to a greater degree for linking to files than aggravated assault, manslaughter, armed robbery etc, and that overly long copyright stifles innovation... BUT, I have a small problem with the analogy you made. And it is not a fault of the analogy.

It just made me realise that, at the moment, if I REALLY want or need a car, I have to buy it. If I can’t afford it, I will have to do without it. I can’t just bitch about the manufacturers overcharging for cars. So even if I *would* have purchased a car, if I can now get one for free, I would be stupid to do so. Why would anyone pay for something they can get for legally for free? A fair amount of pirated content can be counted as lost sales, since people would have purchased it if they really wanted it and had no other option.
