    Germany learned its lesson from being bombed into rubble and having a large part of its elite hanged. Be glad most violence against you lot right now is merely a few broken bones worth.

    Fuck off Nazi. Nazism is not protected speech, it is incitement to murder, genocide even. We fought a World War and held the Nuremberg Trials to establish this, it is incumbent on you Nazi apologists to demonstrate why the Nazis were right and the Trials were wrong.

    If the message is "I'm gonna kill you" you damn well lose your right to free speech. There is no jurisdiction on Earth, not even the benighted United States, where outright incitement to murder is tolerated. And that is what Nazism is. Period, end of discussion. We fought a World War and held the Nuremberg Trials to establish this, it is incumbent on you Nazi apologists to demonstrate why the Nazis were right and the Trials were wrong.

    I am not being pedantic. I am objecting to the downplaying of this 'protest'. It was a classic neo-Nazi attempt at trying to intimidate political opponents with threats of violence, aka terrorism; and since when is being against Nazism 'controversial'?

    Before they arrived the gathering was peaceful.

    Any gathering displaying the regalia of Nazism is not peaceful by default. Nazism is predicated on killing undesirables. it is impossible to wave around Nazi symbols without inciting to violence.

    In short, fuck off and die, Nazi scum. We used to hang people like you.

    you can find a lot of high-status consumer goods that are not very, umm, good.

    Prime example: high-end Italian sports cars. All the failures of Italian car manufacture, yet their status symbol function leads people to overlook that.

    (Although to be fair, Italians do know how to make cars and bikes that are fun to drive. Too bad they often stop there. And I say this as the owner of a Moto Guzzi motorcycle).

    And this is a problem how? We also make it impossible for startups to afford industrial development by just dumping their waste in the nearest convenient stream. This is just the digital equivalent.

    For all practical purposes, they are very enforceable.

    If a company with all its resources decides to sue a single individual, it's a foregone conclusion. Unless they manage to find a backer with deep pockets, they'll be ruined fighting the suit, no matter the fact that the judge might throw it out. By the time it would have come to a hearing they'd already be in deep shit.

    The big lock was removed in 2011, Microsoft produced a regression on an already bad design a lot closer in history. That's a sign of incompetence, period.

    Also, the Linux kernel has bad backwards compatibility, which is why things like drivers and such should be upstreamed as much as possible and built in the main tree, but Linux userland still happily runs old Unix software, so you are overstating that case as well.

    So I'm supposed to believe in man made global warming because 99.87698769876% of experts tell me it's real? If facts and knowledge are not up to democratic vote then what happens to that argument?

    What happens is that it proves you're an idiot. There is a difference between the acknowledged experts in a field agreeing and a majority of the general public agreeing on something. That you are trying to create a false equivalency betrays your bias.

  24. So, you believe we should silence an unpopular minority? How undemocratic of you.

    This is about education. Education is about facts and knowledge not subject to a democratic vote. Apparently you think it is okay that people should push Creationism as valid education, to give an example.

  25. I felt like this at the time.

    Sure, Katz was melodramatic, and often let his greed for a good story get in the way of some facts, but overall he was an interesting writer, capable of showing a lot of empathy with his subjects (witness the Hellmouth series). That empathy led him astray when fed a story occasionally. His 'Afghan friend' a case in point.

    Overall, I've read a lot worse.
