Why are americans always talking about "separation of Church and State"? You have "in god we trust" written on your money and you swear on the bible when in court! What's up with that? :-P

Submission + - Paypal withdraw Wikileaks donation service (bbc.co.uk)

Submitted by ItsIllak on Saturday December 04, 2010 @06:33AM

ItsIllak writes: The BBC are reporting that Paypal are the latest company to abandon Wikileaks. The list now includes their DNS providers (EveryDNS) and their hosts (Amazon). Paypal's move is unlikely to result in many more people boycotting the company as most knowledgeable on-line users will have been refusing to use them for years for a wide variety of abusive practices!

It's a dangerous thing to mention Austria and then link to an Australian website :-P

And lets not forget the fact that if you paste, it adds a paste layer but doesn't show the thing you pasted until you right click on the new layer and choose.. "new layer". ???

How about using "Paste as" -> "New Layer"?

Maybe I misunderstood the news but it kind of implies that TTTech is a german company which is wrong :-)

Open Source Cities Followup — Munich Yea, Vienna Nay 162

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday June 04, 2008 @08:20AM from the positively-dickensian dept.

We're catching up on two stories of municipal engagement with open source software: Munich (which decided to go OS in 2003) and Vienna (2005). E5Rebel brings us news that Munich has stayed the course. But bkingaut informs that Vienna has decided to migrate back to Windows (Google translation) — to Vista no less. The migration of 720 computers used in kindergartens will cost the city about €8M. The given reason for all this is a language test application for the kids that only works with MS IE and won't be made compatible (by the producer) with Firefox until 2009.
