I would wager even odds that you are posting from the United States of America. I would not like to bet that you posted from the Happy Friendly Super Awesome Democratic Nation of North Korea.

How do you know it's shitty? Have you seen it?

Do movies cost less than $6 in your area?

Wait, do Americans actually call it a hashtag and not poundtag (or if close to Redmond, a sharptag)? Have they finally left that #=pound silliness behind?

So basically no different than all the ships coming from China carrying all the stuff you buy...

Some of us are a little more selective in our purchasing...

I agree with you on that count, but the paleo diet is still flawed in that its fundamental premise - that at some point in the past mankind was somehow in sync with their environment, and their diet at that point was perfectly aligned with their nutritional needs.

This is apparently because our ancestors evolved to a stable state on one diet over a very long period of time.

This is a massive, and wrong, assumption. Humans were never in perfect harmony with their environment, even if such a condition is at all possible.

You could replace "vinyl" with "CD" in that post and it would still be true today.

The movie explained that away by making it a supermassive black hole, where tidal forces are (supposedly!) much less.

Well, yes. Do you think your company could survive if offered a contract orders of magnitude larger than you'd ever seen, re-tooled to accommodate that one massive order, and then not getting paid for it?

Slight over-simplification, yes, but fairly representative of what actually happened.

I would find that very cumbersome, as I use keyword search all the time for a number of websites.

I wouldn't tolerate having to wade through the front pages of Google, Wikipedia, imdb, YouTube, bugzilla and all the rest every time I wanted to look up something.

That has to be the silliest statement I have read today.

And I spent much of this morning reading YouTube comments.

I thought that too, until I watched a couple of episodes of Jeopardy and realized it's just a regular question/answer game show with "[what|who] is" tossed in front of each answer.

300+ posts here and no one has yet mentioned that Thunderbird has been using Microsoft(R) Bing(R) as its default search engine for some time now.

False.

Well, 50% false.

It depends on which addon class you're talking about. Extensions are as you say interpreted JavaScript. Plug-ins, however, are compiled code and absolutely do not work the same under Linux as Windows.

Both of those fit under the umbrella term addons.

Ever had a library fine?
Ever had a court summons or bailiff come to sieze your property because of that fine? I doubt it.
But:
Ever tried to borrow a book with an outstanding fine?

Now do you see my point?

I meant the case of using University bandwidth to download content for personal use, that could trigger a fine depending on the University's Internet use policies. The licence of the content in that case is irrelevant.

Mis-use of University resources is defined by the University, and it can quite easily include clauses regarding unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material, etc.
I do agree with you there, and in that case the licence would be relevant.
