Clearly people wo are praising marxist ideas don't care about atrocities committed by Stalin, Ceausescau, Pol Pot and all other communist dictators. They would say that communist ideology was good in theory, but the same could be said about religion, even though such people openly despise religion, showing their double standards. Comments on sites like digg are filled with hatred towards right-wingers and conservatives (usually coming from Americans), but if such people were from eastern europe (as I am) they would hate communism and collectivism even more.
I know that I'll be modded down as troll, but Ireland rocks for doing this.
The only people who are more dumb than religious lunatics are anti-religion lunatics, so the world would be a better place without them.
Wasn't she lying to the court? Isn't that a far greater offense than downloading a couple of songs?
I'm not defending the verdict of course, I think that such fine is vile and outrageous, I'm merely pointing out one thing that nobody here seemed to mention.
You're right, comparing today's Germany with Hitler's Germany just because they're censoring the Internet is totally over the top.
I'm sure that German govt will not put anyone in concentration camps this time, so that's a good sign./s
That's one of the reasons why I think EU sucks - they really like making regulations for every thing possible, which is not my idea of free society. Sure, I think that IE sucks, but telling what software can come together with my new computer - wtf is in their minds?
I'm from Croatia and here it happened on a couple of occasions that bloggers who were critical of authorities were hunted down by police (and most of our police earned their routine in communism where they were the main instrument of people's oppression and they believe that the police exists to protect the regime from the people), which makes as as bad as some of the world's worst dictatorships. Also most of our politicians are luddites who don't see blogging as a form of journalism. But do you know what offends me the most? That we're an aspiring member of the European Union, and they don't give a flying fuck about bloggers being arrested here. Instead they're denying us entry in the EU because of some far more trivial matters and only showing how hypocritical the EU really is.
Even though you had G.W. Bush, I envy the Americans because you're one of the few nations who really understands the spectre of human rights and freedoms, and you also have the best constitution on the world.

You know what, Cuba is so close and has an atheist for president. So you're free to go there if you feel oppressed as an atheist in the USA.

Dude, I was trying to be funny...apparently I didn't worked.
I wouldn't date her, and I'm a slashdot user. I think that speaks enough.
If he was leading The Pirate Party, he would rename it to PINPP. It would stand for "PINPP Is Not a Pirate Party".

It's true. I do a lot of INNER JOINing. Often with multiple tables.
It isn't the number of tables what matters, but the number you get when you query them for COUNT(DISTINCT)
I use only one table, but try to put all of my data in it so I can end up with a high number when I query it with count(distinct).
And what a FREE operating system like Linux has to do with Nazis who opposed freedom in any way?
You win the ToTD award, sir.
Interesting, care to provide us with how you found that out?

I hope it will, I want to see a supernova explosion within my lifetime. I suspect it would be even more spectacular than the supernova from 1006.

They're still cool 'cause they don't have G.W. Bush. In fact, every country is cooler and more free than the US /sarcasm
