'People' are not me.
People have their right to do what they want. If they want the Xbox no matter what, who am I to tell them they are wrong?

I generally hate preachers and I am not going to become one over a gaming console.

No silly.
The cloud is the new floppy disk.

I know the analogy, but I always wondered how you can tell your switching-machine works, if you are not allowed to check.

As far as I can tell, the result of checking is random and it is still random after the machine 'switched' something. So nothing really happened.

Which means, no one else knew about it!
Finally Slashdot is delivering real news!

Or maybe they expect that as long as the article exists, someone may be dumb enough to edit in something really important.
Must not have happened yet.

Unlike the usual cases, the Streisand effect does not really fit here.
Sure it will happen.
But the french intelligence agency does not care about 'public attention'. They care about what information other intelligence agencies can obtain about their bases.
And if those are interested in said base at all, they will find the info wikipedia has on it, with, or without Miss Streisand's help.

I'd suspect your grammar and autism hits come from your keywords: nouns, sentences, essay, grade
These combined suggest a certain context.

As you switch them around, you lose hits that came from common verb-noun combinations and are left with only those from keywords.

What does this have to do with Occam's Razor?
Between 'someone got themselves a new pair of shoes' on one side and the whole mess that forms theist culture and worldviews on the other, which for some reasons still unknown to me leads to the spiriting away of packets in the name of god (?), I'd say the former is clearly the simpler theory.

A female one?

I noticed the same comment and it struck me as incredibly stupid.

I have my doubts about the drug thing. Why would people send their drugs in packages that look suspicious? Of course, if the post office only searches suspicious packages, all the drugs they'll find will be in suspicious packages, so mabye they feel like they are on the right track...

Now just because it is stupid, does not mean it can't be a real post office guideline.

All I can see is a plain white shoe.

What feature identifies it as 'atheist'?

Now repeat the experiment with labels saying things like

'porn'
'lots of money inside'
'this package contains: newest iPhone'

I'm really interested in the outcome.

New theory: people love atheist products, so they get snatched more often by the postman.

Something with good enough QA that you do not need to pray it keeps working.

I wonder why the site shuts down now, when it is finally the year of Linux on the desktop?

That would be called a bootloader.

Many OS-less plattforms have bootloaders.

The thing about them is, no matter what features the bootloader has, once it passes control, they are of no use to the loaded program (unless you do some adr jump magic... maybe).
