    They still want Ritter to make sure his widget only finds "legal" lyrics. Which is as good as unpossible

    Okay, now give me something lighter. 21.2 oz (>1.3 lbs) vs. ~ 1 lb. And cheaper. And with stereo.

    Good point. Just that thing is like 10 times bigger and heavier than the stereobelt and actually a precursor to the ghettoblaster.

    When I was at school back in the early 1970s there were girls who would walk around with headphones and casette recorders to listen to music using the Philips Compact Audio casette system.

    Yup, and I bet those things looked like this - IOW just like a Walkman - or a "stereobelt". Why the hell did nobody else simply remove the heavy bits not needed for mobile use with headphones like the loudspeaker and power supply if it was so fucking obvious?

    But all inventions have always been obvious - once somebody finally came up with them.

    That's how Hitler started, as a socialist.

    Well, Hitler saw himself as a socialist, while he thought that others didn't get what "Socialism" was all about.

    Not that it matters much (or has something to do with my post you answered to), but German Workers' Party. It was founded on January 5, 1919 [...] renamed to NSDAP.

    One could say that dying from terminal metastatic cancer is a relief from the incredibly painful living in the final stages of terminal metastatic cancer. Why else would many want to skip the latter and go straight to the former?

    No, German hyperinflation was (and ended) in 1923 (the year of Hitler's Beerhall Putsch), almost a decade before Hitler came to power. And before you bring that up - he didn't invent the Autobahn either.

    Well,it may have been news for someone from the American backwoods, but most anybody else must have noticed that Hitler tried a coup d'etat in 1923, and was thrown in jail for some time. After he took power in 1933, he soon outlawed all other parties, and threw tens of thousands of people opposing him into Concentration Camps. Then he began a massive rearmament against the terms of the Versaille peace treaty and seriously cut into the rights of Jews. All before 1938.

    Err, the fundies don't want .xxx at all, because "it makes finding porn easier". It's conservatives that want to force all porn into .xxx for easier filtering. Originally .xxx was about something else (in addition to make lots of money of course ;-)
    A Florida company, ICM Registry, proposed .xxx as a mechanism for the $12 billion online porn industry to clean up its act. All sites using .xxx would be required to follow yet-to-be-written "best practices" guidelines, such as prohibitions against trickery through spamming and malicious scripts. Use of .xxx would be voluntary, however.

    Uh, go to Amazon and look up "Ufos Visiting Earth". If the story's a fake, it's good enough to get a huge amount of non-fiction hardback books published.

    According to liberal dogma, the wealthy limousine liberal in Connecticut ought to be proud and happy that the government will take money from him and give it to the poor white trash living in a Mississippi trailer park.

    Sure, but the fact that they are still poor white trash living in a Mississippi trailer park shows that the money is obviously going to the filthy rich SUV neo-cons in Mississippi.
