Not just UK but even eastern europe. I find concept of "overdraft" rediculous, if there are no money on account, just deny transaction. My bank offers account in multiple curencies, option to aprove each card transaction over pho

Male birth control is not happening, it is not just economy but also politics. There are a few methods known since sixties, with less side effects than female hormonal contraception, but those are all banned.

Bitcoin transaction logs already have over 60GB. If people start using it as a storage, its size will skyrocket and it will be unsustainable.

To be fair hardware failure tolerance comes from Antonin Svoboda. He worked on that from 1951.

I am looking for a house next to an airport. Flights in EU are often cheaper than bus. And many conferences are happening because local city is Ryanair hub.

So reduced VAT is not for 'essential' stuff.

I find this whole thing quite funny. One of the 'best cities' is missing basic infrastructure such as public transport, bike lines or high rise buildings. But there is a debate if buses are privileged or not.

That is just bullshit. Why books or "revenues from artistic works" has 10% but oil 50% VAT? Most people need heating oil more than paintings.

Racism is very clearly defined. With your logic whites could not be racist in South Africa, because of black majority.

I dont like that Islamic radicals are referred to as a 'state'. Usually it takes long time for area to be recognized as 'state', and its first step towards official recognition by other governments.

'So called' disclaimer is on almost every BBC article. But it is media like BBC who spread this name in first place. Compare IS with 'Kurdistan'. It is a 'state' somehow similar to IS, but it gets completely di

Strange. I often send 100MB+ dumps into terminal. Konsole from KDE or even my Java IDE has no problems to process it.

No, it totally ignores my world view. Marxism-Leninism was the biggest event in philosophy, since Aristotle and I think it deserves at least small chapter in "authoritative" encyclopedia :-)

There are no entries for 'embarrassing' subjects such as Marxism or Leninism... But entry about Colonialism has huge propaganda from Lenin, while not much about positive impact of colonialism.

A lot has changed in last a few years. Taking images of planets is relatively simple with lucky imaging and decent webcam. One can even use unguided dobsonian now.
