There is only one kind of censorship. Censorship is an abuse of power. There either is censorship, or there isn't. "Parental filter", "NSFW", "We are just blocking the bad stuff", nothing but lies. It's Censorship.
Censorship is probably one of the worst forms of violence. And yes, it is a form of violence. Suppressing speech is as violent as suppressing any other personal freedoms.
It's horrible that a school does this kind of shit to children (and yes, I know most of them do it). Who defines that saying "arse" or "fag" or whatever is bad? Our Christian/Muslim overlords? The same kind of crazy idiots that have no contact with reality and believe that there is a bearded guy in the sky?
We are really allowing people with such serious hallucinations such as religion decide what our kids can and can't do?
Fuck you, fuck your censorship, and fuck the indoctrination system you have created and masked as education.
Or, as someone way wiser than all of us put it... Hey, Teacher, Leave them kids alone!
You are laughing at PHP, while grouping.net and java based stuff in the "serious business" category?
Java and everything.net related are the biggest jokes ever in the history of computing.
PHP is a simple language that is robust enough to build complex applications. Sure, it's grown organically, and you can see that in its current design, and yes, a bug escapes here and there, but it's unfair to compare it to Perl. For instance, Perl has been stable for 20 years. PHP was totally rewritten in PHP3, and went through yet another major change for version 4. Version 5 is the first real stable release that has most of the features one could expect in a mature, modern language.

On the box, you can find the CPU and the heatsink/fan combo (with pre-applied thermal paste). You have to install the CPU, and then install the heatsink. How's taking it from one box or the other in any way increase the chances of user error, or in any way help Intel to avoid warranties?
The car barely touched the other car, you can tell by the picture, there's no visible damage. Most likely just touched the bumper. It probably happens a couple of times a week. They are debugging, that's good, let them work in piece. How many car crashes are there every day around the world? And how many barely-touched-you incidents like this one? All they had to do was exchange insurance information. Instead, we could see a cop at the scene. Why? Probably because the other driver acted like an asshole, only because it was a Google car and not a regular car. So, shitload of people crash everyday, many while learning how to drive. What's the difference if it was a computer crashing? The difference is that the computer's learning can be replicated, while human's learning is harder to replicate. So let that fucking car crash as much as it needs in order to get really good at driving and STFU.
I didn't say the name was Spanish, I said the Spanish people named it.
Yes, the explorer was from Italy, but it was the Spanish who named the continent:
"In 1508, after only two voyages to the Americas, the position of chief of navigation of Spain (piloto mayor de Indias) was created for Vespucci, with the responsibility of planning navigation for voyages to the Indies." --> From the same article you linked.
He was born in Italy, moved to Portugal, and finally ended up working with the Spanish, who where doing most of the American-exploratio
You are completely wrong. I was born and raised in Argentina, and I've lived here my entire life. I've lived in several cities, including Buenos Aires (I currently live in Mar del Plata, a sunny city by the sea 400km south of Buenos Aires.
You are mistaking the Porteños. Yes, there are many racist bastards in Buenos Aires, if you go to Recoleta (One of the most expensive neighborhoods). Rich bastards think they are better than everybody else. But you are mistaking the kind of Racism there is in Argentina. I can prove to you that there is no racism in Argentina in one simple step. Around the year 1810 the black population in Argentina was huge, just like in the states. Yes, we had slaves, but we never had the history of violence and bigotry the US had, slaves where treated fairly and considered part of the family, and slavery was abolished early and without major issues (most Argentinians where abolitionists). No racial segregation or violence occurred after that. So, around 1810 we had a huge black population... around 20%, just like the US. Right now, the black population is well below 3%, while in the states it's around 20%. What happened to them? Well, we fucked them (in the right way). Yes, we fucked. And skin color averaged over the years. That's where our average skin color comes from: A shitload of fucking going on through the years, black, yellow, red, brown, whatever. If it's warm, we'll try to fuck it. That's how you solve racism. We did commit awful atrocities to our native population, thanks to a bastard (Gral. Roca), but that's a single campaign by a single general against the native population in our entire history.
So, yeah, we have big mouths and don't give a fuck about being PC. If you are from the US, we'll call you "gringo". All the fucking time. If your skin is darker, we'll call you Negro. If you have Italian ancestors, we'll call you Tano, and if your ancestors where Spanish, we'll call you "Gallego". If you are fat, you'll be called "Gordo", If you are thin, you'll be called "Flaco". If you are jew, or your lastname even sounds remotely jew, we'll call you "Ruso". Yes, we use racial slurs and other kind of non-PC words to refer to everybody. We are going to make fun of everything and everyone, that's what we are. We are going to find some particular characteristic that you don't like exposed, and make up a nickname for you based on that. And yes, we'll use all the slurs and stereotypes available to refer to people from other countries/religions/ethnic groups/etc.
But guess what? At the end of the day we all sit at the same table, and there is no VIOLENCE or REAL DISCRIMINATION based on your sex, race, or anything else. So, yeah, we call them Bolitas. They are to us what Mexicans are to the US population. But guess what? Mexicans get killed in the US at the border, they are hunted like animals, deported if found, forced to live like illegals and given the shittiest jobs. They are also banned from Education, Health, and every other right citizens get. Wanna know what we do? We offer them citizenship, to every last one of them. This is in our fucking constitution, in the preamble, where a bill of rights is stablished:
"asegurar los beneficios de la libertad para nosotros, para nuestra posteridad, y para todos los hombres del mundo que quieran habitar el suelo Argentino"
rough translation "assure the benefits of freedom for us, for our posterity, and for every man in the world that wants to live in Argentinian territory".
Our so called principle of legality: "No inhabitant of the Nation will be forced to do what the law doesn't order nor forbidden to do what the law doesn't forbid". Notice how it says "Inhabitant", not citizen. Even if you aren't a citizen, you can get full benefits, and if you are not a citizen, you can get citizenship if you want (or just residence and keep your citizenship).
Get your passport, come to Argentina. Go to any public hospital. Nobody will even demand an ID from you, you will just get the medical attent
And it's been that way since the 50's. Try to find any reference to "The America's" before that time.
America was named after Americo Vespucio. The name was given by Spanish explorers. so the name IS ORIGINALLY IN SPANISH.
If your stupid language later changed it to suit your stupid worldview, and the US population drank all of that cool aid, well, that's your problem, not ours. The continent is still called America, and it includes Canada as well as Argentina.
I live in Argentina. I was born and raised here. Contrary to what most people in the US believes, most countries in South America have a wide racial diversity, with original inhabitants (aborigenes) being a minority in many of those countries. Regardless, we don't have racial issues (at least in most countries, certainly not in Argentina), and no PC bullshit (You can call someone "negro" or "negrito", it's usually a kind word, and can be used regardless of your actual skin color, that is, people usually call you negro or negrito even if you are white, and it's seen as a sign of affection, a kind word). We see ourselves as Americans, since America is the name of the entire continent (regardless of how US citizens use the word), and you'll hear people in South America talk about American history (refering to the history of the entire continent, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego), American people, American cultures, etc, etc. We use "America" and "Americano" in our songs, to refer to people from anywhere in either North, South or Central America.
Latino is a fucking stupid word, since technically it defines anyone that speaks a Romance language, so, by definition, "Latino" includes lots of European countries (France, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Italia, etc). By this definition, the fucking stupid pope is "Latino", and so where the Romans.
Since it's about language and not race, it also includes, for example, all Brazilians, Including a big part of their population who is black (descendants from former slaves bought from Africa). By the stupid PC standard used in the US, those should be called African-American too;)
So, No, nobody that is from South America will identify as a "Latino", except for the stupid soldouts (either those that didn't have the balls to stay and emigrated to the US, or those that drank all the cool aid and actually identify with so called 'urban' culture, such as most Puerto Rican youth.
