OTOH, if Google did not willfully fail to follow the law, does that mean they are simply incompetent? Local TV stations find a way to pay attention enough to comply, but Google can't?

Just for example, among the EU's criticisms of Microsoft were some of the documented (as in civil judgments in the hundreds of millions of dollars documented) abuses of some of its notable customers like IBM and Intel.[0] "Oh, but

This will certainly be one of the first features to be deprecated once the deal goes through. Quietly deprecated, of course.

That's not paranoia. That is completely reasonable considering Microsoft's history.

I stopped trusting them when they stole the intellectual property of numerous small companies years before the _NSAKEY debacle. I know, I know, Bill Gates is supposed to be some kind of good guy now (malaria, etc.) but I can't think o

> I have pretty basic needs from my desktop. I do 99% of my work using just three programs: a terminal emulator, Emacs, and Firefox. I don’t want a lot of bells and whistles in my desktop, and I really just want it to get out of the way

The stability of the Pax Romana is so clear in this video. Small wonder the American Founding Fathers sought to emulate it when starting from scratch, rather than the chaos that ensued after its fall.

I always liked Voltaire's quote: "The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire."

My recent peeve is Americans who use 'bespoke' instead of 'custom.' And 'in agreeance' instead of 'in agreement.'

Many years ago, one of my Russian professors said, "All languages are about 85% logical and 15% illogical. That's how you know humans made them." P.S. Russian is much easier to spell than English, but its verbs of motion are

That's one of the best tells to detect non-Americans when communicating in writing only. Get them to talk about uni and how much they enjoyed maths.

Um, I'm a native speaker and might say "I sat next to two Australian persons on the flight." Admittedly, it's more likely I'd say "I sat next to two Ozzies on the flight." (No, not Aussies, Ozzies. Like

This sort of thing is the reason I never use Linux for anything more serious than a laptop. It's impossible to know when a new table like this will become necessary to do really basic stuff that I already learned how to do years ago.

Yeah, SysV init is still around, udev has been renamed eudev and is still being developed, etc. Don't tell anyone in Linux officialdom, though. It upsets them.

I hear this argument a lot: this or that is the "more modern tool." The problem is I almost never see the benefits in the same way I can tell how, say, a battery-powered nail gun is superior to hammering hand-held nails. Usually

Ha ha! Perl has become the shit test for whether I feel like dealing with certain people. "Oh, you don't use Perl?...." Not everyone, just certain ones.

Yes, foods with high amounts of fat are on the long list of things I avoid. I ate a vegan diet for over a year, but have added some meats and eggs back more recently. Dairy fat is irritating to me too.

Yes, treatments not cures. Tums etc. have been ineffective.

I guess the doctors I saw didn't know that. I heard about it from a fellow sufferer.

I control my diet pretty well these days, so it only happens maybe three or four times a year. Both Prilosec and Nexium caused internal bleeding in my case. Zantac was ineffective.

I don't use python so I'm not involved in the controversy either way, but it's pretty encouraging to me that this person is open about the limitations of his humanity and its effects on his (apparently very popular) project.

Not directly related to creating an "anti-inflammatory environment," but I've suffered from GERD for years and have tried all of the AMA's recommended cures. None of them worked, some even caused internal bleeding. A few
