What I don't understand: There's a load of organizations and companies that have their addresses listed, with things like "Baghdad, Iraq". I mean, the "Baghdad Stock Exchange" (yes, that's the ISX) is on there, and they've even got an American advisor. So how does this end up on that list? Because if it really does something illegal, it can be persecuted immediately.

I think you're on to something there. But I'm not entirely convinced, because I think there is actually that network of flatterers and sycophants in place here as well, with the most obvious consequence that the people on top don't actually have any idea on what happens at the base of the mountain. Yes, if the top get removed one of those sycophants becomes the new top, but he's still completely removed from the reality below.

Of course Eris is the only correct name they could have choosen. All Hail Eris!

I've got one of these, and it's very officially a light sabre, named so in 1796. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I can't see how anyone could trademark that..

They never understood email. And the article is mostly about streamlining the UI (Which was enormously cluttered; which idiot had the idea you need to have html mark-up in emails anyway? No wonder...)

Subsequent innovations, like the recent change to use MAPI over HTTP as the default connectivity protocol
WTF?
Yes, that explains everything. They still don't understand email.

You actually might be right there. BUT what helps against mass shooting incidents will have some consequences otherwise, namely more dead by accident, people shooting their whole family and then themselves, more handguns going into the hands of criminals and so on.

And importantly: Most of the people shot in the USA are shot with handguns, not long guns. (And incidentally, international data supports that. In other countries with a huge proliferation of guns usually it means "long guns", and they consistently have factor 10 less people killed with firearms, per capita. They do have mass shootings, done with long guns, though).

I was that 15 year old in front of DOS and Windows 3.1. And when Windows 95 came, I decided it was exactly the same shit all over again and switched to Linux.

Kiss most programming languages goodbye, especially Java. Because they would violate the API of C.

The fun thing about this, is that the German Verfassungsschutz might well be the one that really is commiting treason, by ignoring the Verfassung (the Constitution) it is sworn to protect, and by spying illegally on German citizens. However, given the definition of treason in the German Verfassung, which might require foreign involvement, maybe not.

But then, the German Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, same as the CIA in the USA), DID spy on German people and DID deliver the information to the NSA. Which quite clearly is treason. And the Verfassungsschutz doesn't want to investigate, which could be constructed as collusion to treason.

What have threats to the POTUS to do with "Stake Out the Ugliest Corners of the Internet"?

Great for having a log running, or accessing the bootloader.

The scourge of GMOs are patents, an unless it gets totally completely illegal to patent life, I want GMOs labeled.

Actually, no. They did not ever learn how to write proper (legal) code.

- as short and precise as possible
- yields the intended result
- does not have any unintended side-effects

No. The trouble with lawyers is that they don't learn to write proper code.
They're just debating how to interprete it.
