    No, allegedly they said something about her that isn't true.

    The average Austrian? You don't know that country, do you?

    The average Austrian cares about 3 things: His Schnitzel, his beer and the soccer results of his favorite team. Plus that he's by definition a better national trainer than the goofball they hired now to train those idiots that can't hit a goal if the other team stayed home.

    I dare say that nobody in the country except the 3 people who can actually use a computer AND give a shit about free speech even heard about the verdict. And 2 of them didn't give a shit because their favorite soccer team should fire its trainer.

  3. There's another definition of hate speech?

    But, let's be honest here, calling Eva Glawischnig a "corrupt bumpkin" is uncalled for. Bumpkin, ok, but corrupt... how would you know?
      Who the fuck would consider her important enough to bribe her?

    You're by no means the only one.

    That such a silly demand is made is a given. That it's by the Greens is, well, we got used to it.

    That they actually found a judge that knows so little about the internet in general and the effect his verdict has on it in particular, that's the actually surprising part of the whole blunder.

    Pretty much any expression of faith is hate speech. I don't know a single faith that is really cool with someone not drinking their particular brand of cool-aid.

    Well, an election is coming in Austria. Not officially yet, but all signs point to early elections in 2018.

    You think that's bad? You can get into trouble for making a PC joke. Like, say,

    I'd assume that the CIA takes care to make its statistics comparable, thus applying the same standards to all samples instead of simply relying on whatever any country reports.

    As for the countries you cite, the CIA world fact book comes to different averages, in particular 74.9 years for Lithuania and 70.7 years for Moldova, which is pretty much the same almost any other page I could find (give or take a year) comes up with, except the one that you cite. I have no idea where they pulled their numbers out of, but I have to assume it's a dark and rather unpleasant place.

    When comparing something, it is relevant to use sources that are at least halfway reliable.

    Then please elaborate how telling miners that their obsolete mining operation will be viable again when there is a higher chance that Somalia wins the next ice hockey world championships is not "telling someone what they want to hear, no matter how insane".

  18. So is a fix for other horribly insecure critical internet infrastructure like DNS and DHCP. But using them costs money. And in this particular case of BGP, the ones that could secure it even have a good reason to leave it insecure.
