It used to be synonymous with nerd, in the UK at least. Mind you, "anorak/geek/nerd" implies that all three are synonymous, which is nonsense. Maybe the author doesn't know whether or not he has a social life?
I fraternise with people who share my specific interests in my social life in generally. It tends to be the case that the only people who come along to my dance lessons are people who are interested in dancing, the only people I see at games evening are people who enjoy gaming, and the only people who come to my church are Christians and people interested in finding out about Christianity. I didn't find out about the dance club, the games evening, or the church from the Internet.
Tony Blair doesn't read every letter sent to him, but he does get a summary of the letters he receives by subject and position. I imagine it's similar for most PMs.
But if you're a car driver, the worst that happens if a stupid car driver pulls out immediately in front of you is a bit of inconvenience while you wait for his insurance company to pay up. If a stupid cyclist pulls out immediately in front of you, they're far more likely to be killed or badly injured, which would be quite traumatic for you.
After I passed my driving test, my instructor drove me back to the centre of town, and it was quite an eye-opener. I already knew he could be a bit aggressive, but I wasn't expecting him to drive part of it steering with his knees while he wrote his mobile number down so that I could pass it on to anyone I knew who wanted to learn.
Where "the rest of the world" consisted roughly of the US, the French Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Russian Empire, and China. Of which I wonder how many spoke English.
The big companies will still be able to pay someone to keep track of what the committees of the legislature are discussing, and apply to present evidence to them. If you do away with such committees, you have a big decrease in the serious consideration which is taken of the concerns of people who actually know anything about matters which are the subject of legislation.
It isn't plausibly deniable that it was NSA who obtained the information. May as well be straight about it, because that will bolster denials on other subjects in the future.
I haven't RTFA, but I doubt it suggests that people would get their computers to produce a proof, tell the journal that their paper was written by computer, and expect the journal not to peer review it.
Thus watching porn, in of itself, is ok. The emotions and desires that it stirs up are part of our sinning nature. Even without the porn, the corruption is there.
What the big guy upstairs cares about is what you do to overcome that corruption?
Are you not arguing against yourself here, in that one thing you should be doing is not watching the porn which "stirs up" sinful desires?
I'm glancing through the New Testiment, and I find a lot of passages about the corrupting influences of money. I don't see a thing about porn.
You won't find much in the New Testament about homosexuality either. To me, that's pretty clear evidence that the Old Testament had said all that needed to be said, and hence money was the contentious issue of the day.
Sick and angry enough to make it illegal for them to do so, even if that's what they both want to do?
I wonder whether you saw the news stories a couple of months back about the German cannibal. His defence against a manslaughter charge was that both he and his victim wanted to do it. Just wondering what you think of that defence.
That would work for people with e-mail addresses like j.a.doe@whatever.com, but a lot of people have addresses like john.doe@whatever.com or even john@whatever.com.
As far as companies go, no company is going to want to prevent people e-mailing them easily.

Insightful.

Brits can find the name of their MP from the Common's list of members by constituency, or can use faxyourmp.com. They can find names and contact details for their MEPs from the UK Office of the European Parliament. I'm sure similar sites exist for other countries.

Depends on the country. IIRC in the UK the default position is that code you develop at work belongs to the company.
I live in Cambridge, UK. Trust me when I say that stupid cyclists can be a bigger nuisance than stupid drivers.

The OS X console ftp is nice enough for me. The progress bar and tab completion are luxuries compared to the ftp clients I was used to.

It's not strong. It's been ridiculously weak against the pound for months, and it's pretty weak against the Euro too.

Are you confusing zombies and vampires?

No, but you'd better not have a webcam transmitting images of you in the shower.
"Germany" and "Japan" are both nouns.

It was working for me yesterday evening. Maybe we did actually /. Google.
