The summary uses "new evidence that has come to light" as the anchor text for a link to the article, but the most recent date in the article is 2012. Is that supposed to be the "new evidence", or am I missing something?
I don't think I've ever heard of or seen a clause in the US that requires all lawsuits to be settled in a specific venue.
Really? I don't think I've ever read an EULA which didn't have such a clause. Since Facebook's has been mentioned elsewhere on this page:
15. Disputes
1. You will resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (claim) you have with us arising out of or relating to this Statement or Facebook exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. The laws of the State of California will govern this Statement, as well as any claim that might arise between you and us, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
There are plenty of loanwords in English which still retain diacritics, as well as a few personal names. Everywhere else I just type them: on Slashdot I catch them in preview and have to replace them with HTML entities. So yes, there's a workaround, but it's not a good user experience.
I assume you must have been in northern Europe a lot more than southern. Here in Spain today's a cold day for August (barely over 30C on the Mediterranean coast, 35C in Madrid), but I can assure you that no-one's running air conditioning for heat.
That's not a sufficient solution. I need to wear a light cardigan over my long-sleeved shirt when one of my colleagues is in a t-shirt and complaining about the heat. The closest thing to a solution is compromise.
Maybe you think food in Spain is cheap as well, but I don't know how I'd manage to spend 11€ on food in one day unless I go to a restaurant. And I cook for one, so I don't get much by way of economies of scale.
I'm pretty sure that the NSA didn't publish anything on a Russian propaganda website. They have their own website which they can use to publish stuff they want to make public.
1. Confusing composer with artist. If the song is a remix, the artist is the remixer. The original artist is the composer.
No, the original artist is the original artist (ID3v2.2 tag TOA, ID3v2.3 tag TOPE). They may also be the composer, but that is by no means certain.
2. Genres are fuzzy. Lots of songs fit into many genres. Picking a single genre is inaccurate at best. Sadly the id3 spec only lets us pick one, so I comma separate them out of protest.
No, the ID3v2.2 and ID3v2.3 specs let you select multiple genres, or even mix multiple pre-defined ones with a custom one. One thing they do fall down on is defining how to tag a song with multiple custom genres.
3. The infamous "Various Artists" artist. Likewise with genres, I comma separate artists because the id3 spec doesn't let us add multiple artists.
No, ID3v2.2 and ID3v2.3 specify that multiple artists should be separated with a / character.
It may be that the vendors don't follow the spec, but you're being very unjust in blaming the authors of a spec with you obviously haven't read.
How would that help? Barratry is only relevant when suits are being filed, and that's not the case with DMCA abuse. They don't take you to court: they just threaten to take the host to court, and the host folds because they don't see it as their fight.
Reading your comment brings back the memories of when I was briefly working on a Drupal project. The firm impression I came away with is that the Drupal community prefers to document things by making a half-hour video rather than by writing a page of text, even though written documentation could be read and re-read several times in the time it takes to watch the video.
You might want to tighten that wording so as not to prohibit lawyers becoming judges, because having non-lawyers as judges is not going to improve things.
One to two thousand pounds would be the whole rhino, not the head. And if you're chopping off the head then you can use a chainsaw without worrying about destroying some of the end product.
what are you using @ for other than Rogue/Nethack ?
Back in days of yore, before Facebook messaging and Whatsapp but after bang paths, @ was an essential part of a quaint communications system called "e-mail". Some old fogies still use it. Now get off my lawn and go ask the person who (I presume) sold you that 6-digit uid for a history lesson.
No, it's because those words aren't in/usr/share/dict/words. I started with a much larger list of characters, and filtered it down before posting to just those which actually matched something. The û is for croûton, croûton's, croûtons.
Some of those strangers are interesting people. You can talk to... a completely different dozen on the way home from work.
Just to be clear: you're talking in general about cities, right? Talking to strangers on public transport in London is extremely counter-cultural, with the exceptions of checking that you're on the right train and complaining about delays.
Slashdot Mirror
Why would anyone do that instead of using HTTP Accept headers?

Donald Trump is going to win because money is everything in US politics: the only way to get ahead is toupee.
We're talking about London here. The streets were made before combustion engines existed.
And for what it's worth, underestimating weight can also be hazardous.

$15/day coffee habits? They're either drinking seriously overpriced coffee or at high risk of intoxication.

You're about a century out. Umami was discovered at the start of the 20th century, and the name has been adopted internationally since the mid-1980s.
It is called a penny. Pence is the plural.
What do you mean, "worked"? It's still how it works in the countries whose trains I'm familiar with.

You may or may not be pleased to know that this latest release of Unicode adds glyphs for volleyball and cricket.

I would have said that even English requires diacritics to support some of its loanwords.
