Yeah, real journalists use their ISP's webmail (*cough*), their own servers (which can be confiscated) or their friends (also confiscateable). Then you have the possibility of offshore email accounts on an american friend's server (which will get blocked). At least when using webmail, the others have to either break in the servers (like they did in TFA) or subpoena them (which I don't see the Chinese govt. do tbh).

but ... but ... it's on linux!

let's hope it's external use only then :)

and what is the EU going to do? Give them a very dirty look?

I don't think when I shift, it's ... automatic but not automatic if you know what I mean ;-)

There is this thing called manual transmission. it's mainly used by adults. you should try it sometimes.

No, but I do from stores who collect my private data every time I shop there.

Never had to 'solve' data correction due to the non-acid compliance of the db I suppose? And what features exactly are you using from mysql that isn't in postgresql?

500 million people is far from a 'minority dialect'. also, compared to english it's just a hard language to learn the basics imo. Good thing most europeans are not like Americans, and don't act all surprised if their language isn't spoken everywhere.

As long as they don't touch my bananas. waait a minute!

Not speaking for the one you responded to, but I'd trust his opinion as much as I'd trust the opinion of a random slashdotter

same here: repetitive music without clean vocals increases my productivity, while clean vocals distract me. I'm a big black metal fan, so I listen to Burzum (and the like) everyday with my in ear earbuds. Cancels out everything :)

yep. Same reason we have mandatory breaks at our job. Otherwise the marketing department gets nervous. Some people don't seem to get that others don't want to socialize for 30 minutes every day.

Yeah, heaven forbid someone actually does some R&D and develops things that are not mainstream.

Nah, then the slashdot crowd will be up in arms on how about "omg anti-captilasim move to USA and dump Europe. USA! USA!".
