When I moved to Germany, I was immediately impressed with its train/rail systems. It was delightful to take a day and visit the Schweberbahn of Wuppertal, a hanging rail system that has resisted modernity for more than a hundred years.

Its not inconceivable. Those boots were commonly worn by civilians before the war, and are still used by horse-riders all over the world - its an indicator of wealth, not membership in the Russian Red Army, if anything else.

It happens when the wealthiest country in the world spends more money on war fighting than the other top 10 military spenders in the world - instead of investing in its own infrastructure and social services, it is spending it on demolishin

I also wondered the same .. if it weren't some generalised way to apply regex to implement FAT32 (read and write) .. instead I think its a mapping of DFA to dentry semantics. Still pretty neat.

Here in Austria, I've seen similar wasps, and as my house is surrounded by flowering fruit trees, I've had to deal with trapped-at-the-window individuals a number of times (bees and butterflies too, which is a wonderful brief visi

The question is, putting people to death for crimes against the state, i.e. death penalties, etc. A lot of "states" murder "spies". [ * ] The proposition was that only a select few states murder journalists for such crim

Cool. Lets trash the Constitution then! It's entirely irrelevant, having been written in response to transgressions that happened hundreds of years ago.

Try to look at this from the perspective of a country whose resources you are trying to protect from non-local usurpation by global Western organisations: https://www.cfr.org/localjournalists And no, I was referring to the

You say journalist, I say imperialist spy. The line is blurred more and more these days, especially given the CFR's influence over American/Western media.

>These artefacts could be considered common human heritage. Until there is a common human state, this argument is Imperialist nonsense.

How is this even a question? Of COURSE they should. The fact this is even up for debate is preposterous. Africa should have its artefacts, Greece should get its marbles back and Western museums should be emptied of ALL war treasure and imp

I've followed Agafia's story for a few years, and I have a similar conclusion to yours - she demonstrates the core value of human nature, that it really can survive on a simplicity of needs. I was struck by the realisations of ma

That was a very fascinating video to watch - thanks for that. Only thing is it delivered a pretty gnarly case of motion sickness after a few minutes .. What was really interesting was the observation, towards the end, that once he'd h

Yeah, I get that. I knew him before he was famous for bugtraq and the stack-smashing paper, so for me it was like watching a rockstar hacker go from his garage to Madison Square Gardens or something ..

I distinctly remember him hacking on stack-smashing techniques while at Cyberworks, during our down-times... he crashed mine and his Indy a couple times, lol .. but maybe it was more of the exploratory work. I didn't pay as much atten

Figures you'd pull that string, of all people. Well, I remember him hacking on it - and he had an Indy. Still, long time ago .. neither of us have the braincells we used to. ;)

He and I had made our acquaintance at Union Station, downtown LA after a regularly scheduled 2600 meeting by the pay phones. Back then, that's how you'd meet decent hackers - first Friday of the month, at some location published i
