Let's say that Facebook required you to have a well-lit photo of your face, taken within the last year. Would it be ok for Germany to restrict this requirement? How about if Facebook required users to submit a form detailing all sources an

How are the GUIs for Samba 4.0 AD features? I usually prefer nice configuration files, but the Windows Server features were very easy to learn. Another nice thing about Windows Server, updates are "free" after a high up-front cost.

I like his ideas about biological life not being suited to spread throughout the galaxy, that it's going to be mechanical or at least completely engineered. If that's the case, why would engineered life ever want to land on a planet? It se
