Pastafarians believe all established religions are bullshit and I'd be willing to bet their belief is way more solid than that of those who adhere to a court-approved religion.
My signature sums up pretty much what I think. Let's reboot the Earth and then see where hedge fund managers fit into the list of indispensable jobs. Contrived wealth.
"If you find parts of the web un-usable, then don't use them."
The problem is that's closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. I don't know about the others, but my adblocker is there to protect my machine preemptively. I don't want to discover the site is abusive only after the damage is done. I'd go along wholly with the idea of a warning system if it were a) reliable and b) somebody else's baby -- they won't be able to count on the likes of me to report abusive sites because I don't intend to be in the position of being abused.
Surely detecting such sites automatically should be a piece of cake.
Not sure how it works in the States, but the grounding for the EU-wide ban in 2007 was industrial health and safety. It was intended to protect the establishment's employeees, not people subjected to smoke in their face while dining. That latter effect is just a bonus.
I have thought about it. My conclusion is that if you have to check twice before carrying something harmless around with you then the terrorists have won.
Indeed. You could just about do Barcelona, Spain to Madrid, Spain in 6 hours. Barcelona to Bratislava in a Bugatti Veyron, with an extra-large tank, on completely deserted roads, with no toll booths, driving flat out, could maybe get you there in 10.
Yes I know the GP was only trying to illustrate a point.
I wonder if that's why they are saying "Users should only do this where the compromise of one password does not result in the compromise of more valuable data protected by the same password on a different system."
To recap: winner-take-all systems force two-party systems.
And two-party systems perpetuate winner-take-all/first-past-the-post systems. Commercial barriers to entry can be judicially torn down. Political ones, not so easily.

We don't get to vote on just one policy. People aren't going to vote for Vlad the Impaler just because he promises to bust the copyright cartel.

SPELLIST!!!!!

Fellow Brit: Awesome. What time does the match start?

"Let's just not pretend that ad blocking is honorable."
Are we allowed to pretend that without adblocking, the Web is pretty much unuseable? I don't see where honour comes into it.
"Ad blockers offer a convenient way of having the content and not pay for it"
When the intrusive ads stop you enjoying the content without a blocker, "having the content" is a bit of a myth.
The non-intrusive sites suffer, I agree. But it's not my problem if someone pissed on their chips.

I call bullshit on anyone who doesn't even weigh up the pros and cons bfore committing his family to the dole.
I'm still trying to parse "Trademark Trolls Stops University Nicknames".
Why would the human species' proving non-eternal be bad news?

Bingo!
Many thanks.

Where can I find a good list of which services to stop (or which to keep), please?
+1 for wit
There's also already a word for the less common "pre-existing". In fact, I've just used it.
They also shouldn't call it Vegan, because that's a lie too. I defy anyone to find a cost effective way of bringing food to earth from Vega.
Or even Saami
But sovereign country and federal state aren't.
