I would like to point out that in most of your examples, country is US and/or religion is Christianity. Since, in US muslims cant even erect a mosque without raising a public debate, I doubt Kopimism in US would get away with copyright infr

Kopimism has been recognized as a belief community and not as a religion[1][2] and as such does not give the followers of Kopimism the same umbrella of protection that is provided to mainstream religions in Sweden. More details on this disc

I hadn't heard of that book and because of this post, its on my reading list. So, some people in this choir maybe wayward and would do well with sermons like these :)

When I read the title I was expecting an article about the impracticality of the Ketchup bottle design itself. For something that is so widely used, I've never been able to understand the impractical design of ketchup bottle. For such a vis

What I very much appreciate is that the article, rightly, gives credit to Nokia for proliferation of mobiles in developing world. I'm from India and I still remember my first phone was Nokia 3310 in 2002. I'm sure Nokia did it for the profi

I'm not. I'm saying signal to noise ratio of political discussions on political sites is so low that any rational discussion drowns out in the noise. Plus, most political sites have a clear and strong bias, such that opposing ideas are rare

(Disclaimer: I'm not from US). That's why we should flag political articles and leave them to other sites. Except that at other sites, politics equals name callings and rhetoric. I understand that that is the primary reason you want

According to the docs[1], search() is an alias of query(). They should use query instead of search, atleast on the landing page. Also, they should put hash() method on the homepage too, I thought they forgot to implement it. [1] http://med

The one thing I dont understand is why are gaming companies showing public support of SOPA. They should know that the trend-setters in gaming industry are geeks and nerds who are all very aware of how internet works and how SOPA may potenti

I, for one, am glad they're not using money to get out of this. Pragmatism has replaced idealism in this day and age. I'm not even sure that its the ideals that are keeping tech mammoths from bribing US congress. But I do think that its a v

The fact that GoDaddy recanted is significant because any other internet companies will think twice before supporting SOPA, atleast publicly but that matters a lot. Maybe if US citizens could get more aware of the situation, they can make a

Hey Irvick, I think the timestamps on some content is coming out wrong. I saw a facebook update which had timestamp 42 years ago. I'm guessing Unix timestamp of 0 seconds. Also, I saw another tweet which showed 'a few seconds ago' but was a
