The level of support for this Eich character is truly mind-boggling. Here is a man who is against LGBT rights, going as far as to pay money to support a law denying them rights, and he is being sympathised with because but but muh free spee

http://neilyoungnews.thrasherswheat.org/2014/03/press-releas... It appears they made a mistake in the press release originally and have now corrected it. It used to say 1000 albums, they meant to write 1000 songs.

Apparently the 128GiB storage will allow 1000-2000 "high resolution" albums to be stored at once. I have 96 FLAC albums on my Mac, and they take up 42GiB. I wonder what then "high resolution" is supposed to mean.

I speak British English and it's more a matter of register for me. If I'm writing something formal I'll use the subjunctive, if I'm talking to friends I'll just stick with the indicative. If I saw someone write &quo

I am neither a right-winger nor an American. I am very much left-wing. You should be aware that the left is vehemently against liberalism, as it presents such a rosy view of current society that it reduces the terrible things happening to

I am about as far from the right as is possible to get. I am calling special attention to liberals because at this moment liberal media are writing him off as having been a 'peaceful protestor' or some such banality. I don't

Mandela's address after being released from prison emphasises the need for continuing struggle against oppression and is completely devoid of pacifist white washing: http://www.anc.org.za/show.php?id=4520

Do not allow liberals to sanitise history. Mandela was a symbol of non-peaceful resistance and of the progress that it can bring.

I think they complement each other rather than directly compete with each other. I have all my files stored locally, but I also have them all uploaded to Google Music so I can listen to them on my phone. Even if Google Music shuts down, I h

It's not prescriptively grammatically correct, but it's the same thing as split infinitives or prepositions at the end of sentences. Native English speakers use the third person plural all the time anyway, and when the reason for

If you don't know what pronoun they want to have used, just use the third person plural (they). This is true of all instances where gender identity is sensitive. What do you mean by asexual? Do you mean transsexual? If so, the correct

I think that could be to do with some apps not being optimised yet or something. If I browse using Safari on my 15" Retina, I get ~8 hours of browsing, if I use chrome that falls massively down to ~3.5.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't something like 75% of a CPU's power consumption just in pushing the clock signal around? I just assumed that a faster clock would consume more power (as a general rule). Wikipedia seems to agree wit

I'm not experiencing any real change in battery life on my specced out 15" retina. Got ~5 hours before 10.9, get ~5 hours on 10.9. Makes me kind of wish I'd gone for the base CPU and saved money and battery life.

As a native English speaker, they are perfectly synonymous for me.

These 'neo-atheists' like Dorkins, Hitchens, Rich-white-guy Gervais and Reddit really disgust me. Yes, religion is in general an oppressive, patriarchal, hierarchical bundle of nastiness. But so is imperialism. Guess which one&#x2

I just keep trying some combination of deleting and adding new certificates until it starts working. Most of the time I'm unable to tell the difference between what wasn't working and what for seem reason has begun working.

As a communist who talks to other communists (admittedly mostly Maoists and 'Stalinists' (which is really a pejorative invented by Trots to demonise Actual Socialism ('Stalinists' are simply anti-revisionist Leninists)),

Except that apart from Trots and left anti-communists, Real Communists do consider the USSR to have been socialist, with declining purity of socialism post Stalin's death.

By anti-Zionism I don't mean to imply that I am for removing all Jews from Israel or whatever. I am for a one-state solution.

by mathieuh 13y ago
If you're a Zionist, then I disagree with you in the strongest possible terms, because you are a Zionist, not because you are a Jew. I suppose I misrepresented what I meant by saying 'I hate Israel'. What I meant was I hate I

As much as Zionists keep pressing it as the truth, hating Zionism and Israel is not hating Jews.

Yes it's terrible, but I'm amazed that people are surprised at all this NSA stuff. Look at America's history, it's been a global hegemon since the 1940s. I don't think they're likely to stop any time soon.

The USA has always had fascist policies since far before Bush, and when the EU and Obama are getting peace prizes it kind of detracts from the idea to be honest.

The police are basically treating this like war. Remember this the next time someone says we should treat the police with respect because they're 'just doing their job'. It's not a stick with a worker at both ends, it a stick with a worker
