...we found Russell's teapot.

You might also want to give http://silk.apana.org.au/fc.html a go, available for Windows, Unix and OS/2.

That was a beautiful read. Thank you!

When talking to the uninitiated, I like to bring up an analogy using bouncers.

When you have bouncers from just one security firm, things are alright. He'll do his best to keep the baddies out, things can carry on mostly undisturbed. Things ain't perfect, but hey, whatcha gonna do.
On the other hand, if you hire additional bouncers from a different security firm, those two groups will spend most of their time shouting at each other, getting in scuffles, fucking things up for everyone.
This analogy is simple enough to sink in with mom & pop.

So Libertarians are more violent than socialists?

For example

Stalin,
Mao
Pol Pot

All of which were communist, not socialist.

Just for the record, wikipedia claims the incident that killed Shannon Smith occured during June, not during New Year celebrations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon's_law_(Arizona)

I just realized how much I depend on RSS:

- http://gpodder.org/ fetches 20+ podcast subscriptions
- Snarfer (defunct, no website) to follow various news outlets and alert me to fresh xkcd, smbc, etc.
- live bookmarks in Pale Moon to see if something pops up on the various youtube channels I like. No channel subscription with Google account necessary.
- http://showrss.info/ generates a nice rss feed of current tv show episodes which is directly pulled by qbittorrent.

My whole information and entertainment usage would collapse if rss went the way of the dodo.

Facebook Europe is incorporated in Ireland. This is why German politicians are so fed up with facebook - whenever facebook fucks up, the German facebook representatives just shrug their shoulders and tell the authorities to please speak with Ireland, where any complains get quickly tossed into the memory hole.

That's rich, considering that we in the US just elected a nationalistic militaristic fascist.
Maybe Germany is at least trying to do the right thing?

You are correct in stating that restrictions on speech in Germany were created with good purpose.
You're an idiot for stating that Germany is still an occupied country.

Most of the civilized world work that way. Because we understand the necessity.
By extension, much of the workings of the United States are uncivilized. I wholeheartedly agree.

Opening Arguments made a podcast about this case, give it a listen if you want to have the case entertainingly explained from a legal point of view: http://openargs.com/oa32-phil-...

Microsoft has announced ages ago that Win 10 will be on a perpetual rolling release. There's absolutely no reason to report on the breakfast choices of every junior developer in Redmond.

tl;dr: This is not news.

Study says people who incessantly make the same typos are idiots.

The only questions this should raise is how much jail time these data grabbers should get and why there's no one campaigning on privacy rights.
