> German censorship is aimed at suppressing Nazi-like hate groups and has been around since the end of the war. At least those laws should be useful in breaking up Islamic hate groups, too.
"Censorship is for the public's own good!" That is exactly what the Nazis said. "You are too stupid to know what opinions to listen to, let the government decide for you." Right out of Goebbels' playbook.
Quran (7:80-84) - "...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)" - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction. (The story is also repeated in suras 27 and29).
Quran (7:81) - "Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?" This verse is part of the previous text and it establishes that homosexuality as different from (and much worse than) adultery or other sexual sin. According to the Arabic grammar, homosexuality is called the worst sin, while references elsewhere describe other forms of non-marital sex as being "among great sins."
Quran (26:165-166) - "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing"
Quran (4:16) - "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone" This is the Yusuf Ali translation. The original Arabic does not use the word "men" and simply says "two from among you." Yusuf Ali may have added the word "men" because the verse seems to refer to a different set than referred to in the prior verse (explicitly denoted as "your women"). In other words, since 4:15 refers to "your women", 4:16 is presumably written to and refers to men.
Interestingly, the same rules don't seem to apply in paradise, where martyrs for the cause of Allah enjoy an orgy of virgins and "perpetual youth" Quran (56:17) (otherwise known as "boys" Quran (52:24)). Quran (76:19) bluntly states, "And immortal boys will circulate among them, when you see them you will count them as scattered pearls." Technically, the mere presence of boys doesn't necessarily mean sex, however it is strongly implied from the particular emphasis on the effeminacy, handsomeness and "freshness" of the boys. The female virgins of paradise are also compared to pearls (56:23).
Tech companies, like Microsoft, have replaced *far* more US workers than Disney ever dreamed of replacing.
Glad the issue is getting some attention. Bizarre that this, very minor, incident at Disney is being singled out, as if this is the first time it ever happened.
This is not Germany's first rodeo when it comes to government imposed censorship.
I remember an a Nazi propaganda clip where smart young guy explains to an old dump guy why it is best to have the government decide what they can, and cannot, listen to on the radio.
In ancient times, when I was a compsci major, Computer Science meant stuff like "Analysis of Algorithms."
As I understand it, today Comp Sci 101 might be learning MS-Office.
Programming also seems to have a different meaning. I am not sure that clicking on something, to change the color of a cartoon cat, is what I would call "programming." It may help with learning to use a computer, but not really programming.

Repubs, and dems, alike take big $$ from corporations, and help those corporations bash US workers. It has been going on for decades, at least.
Making this a partisan issue insures no progress will be made. We will just keep blaming the other party - when it is plainly obvious that both parties have sold out the US worker.
Microsoft has laid off US workers by the thousands, while simultaneous sitting before congress and insisting more offshore visa workers were needed to make up for "sever shortages" of US workers. Microsoft probably has tens of thousands of visa workers in the US, and it's been going on for decades.
The number of US workers hired by IBM fell every years. Finally the number of US workers at IBM dropped below 25%, and IBM stopped publishing the numbers.
Many other US tech companies have been replacing US workers by the thousands, and have been doing so for decades.
But when some non-tech company replaces a few US workers, all the sudden it's a BFD. Why is that?
It is nice to see scox lose, even if it is over a decade after it has any relevance.
As I have been saying for a long time, this is much more a msft scam, than scox scam. For msft, $100 million to stomp (if not eliminate) a competitor is money well spent.
Let's not forget that some scox insiders, like Riamondi, were selling their shares when scox was at $16. None of the guilty have been really punished, and they never will be.
As to insiders losing everything, and scox becoming worthless: scox lasted a lot longer, and scox's shares went up a lot higher, than would have happened without the scox scam.
Msft is still doing the same IP scamming. Only now it may be more effective. Msft and redhat have partnered. This makes redhat - and only redhat - immune from patent infringement lawsuits from msft. Sound familiar? It should. It is the scox extortion racket all over again - only this time with more credibility.
> "Only Days After Red Hat Legitimised Microsoft’s Patents Against Linux Another Linux-Using Company Falls Victim to Microsoft’s Patent Extortion" http://techrights.org/2015/11/10/star-micronics-and-patents/
Of course, msft rarely sues in court, they don't have to. You either quietly settle, or get sued out of existence.
Once non-redhat distros become irrelevant, msft may turn on redhat. Or, maybe not. I think msft is okay with competitors, as long as those competitors can be dealt with, and are not too threatening. In 1998, Apple seemed to be okay as a competitor.
Without a union, management forces IT worker to train their H1B replacements. There is nothing that an IT worker can effectively do to stop it.
With a union: IT workers say: you pull that bullshit, and we *all* walk out right now. There would be nothing management could do, except stop the bullshit.
All Linux is open source, all use the same kernel, all use the gcc compiler.
Why would Ubuntu substantially outperform other Linux distros using the same kernel, compiler, file system, ect? Why would CPU, Radeon graphic, and HDD performance be substantially different?

The German government does not want any discussion about their horrible mistake to take in so many Syrian refugees.
Under the guise of eliminating "hate speech" the German government has pressured social media to censor real information, and real discussion.

I don't think so.

If a Muslim says: "Kill gays" is that hate speech?
Is it possible that some Germans have legitimate complaints?

Plumbing and welding jobs will go to illegal immigrants. Most IT jobs will go offshore. The IT jobs that cannot be offshored will go to visa workers.

I could hardly imagine a business system where full screen commercials keep popping up.
No business that I have worked for would put up with that.

You cannot eliminate this problem by constantly whining, and passing articles back and forth either.
As another poster here pointed, we need to make IT a true profession. We need to organize, raise money, lobby congress, that sort of thing.
Nobody cares if something is unjust, or not. It's all about money, and votes.
US IT workers bitch endlessly about the visa situation. But all they do is send articles back and forth to one another.
Change is not going to happen unless US IT start showing some backbone.
US tech companies, like Microsoft, having been doing far worse for decades.
Repubs, and dems, alike take big $$ from corporations, and help those corporations bash US workers. It has been going on for decades, at least.
Making this a partisan issue insures no progress will be made. We will just keep blaming the other party - when it is plainly obvious that both parties have sold out the US worker.

I loved 10.04! Best version of Ubuntu ever, IMO.
At the time, Ubuntu was just getting better, and better. I could hardly wait for 10.10.
When 10.10 came out, it had that awful Unity desktop. I hated it so bad, I never used Ubuntu again.
And now they are using systemd - barf.
All Linux is open source, all use the same kernel, all use the gcc compiler.
Why would Ubuntu substantially outperform other Linux distros using the same kernel, compiler, file system, ect? Why would CPU, Radeon graphic, and HDD performance be substantially different?
If you read TFA, you will find similar sentiments expressed by: Chris Rock, and Jerry Seinfeld.

Lots of arguing, but I do not see where anybody has answered the question.
Can I use Linux 4.5 without systemd? Will it work without systemd on Gentoo? Will it work, without systemd, on RasPi?
