That said, the reason I went to qwerty was because when you program, it makes much more sense. Try typing a backtick on azerty. Or slashes. Or many other things you need in program writing or scripting. You even need to know the difference between the left and the right ALT key.
? is for searching up, / is for searching down. Unless you use a qwerty and you see they are on the same key, you would have no idea why. ZZ to close vi is not logical if you do not realise it is next to the shift key that you need to type Z and not z.
So for me the layout of the non-letters is more important then it is to easily type azerty or qwerty.

So if people who are getting married, they get married by the government. If they want to undergo a ritual somewhere else, like in a church, that can be done separately.
That is how it is done in at least Belgium and Germany and probably other countries as well.
It should then be extremely easy to allow same sex marriage as government should not discriminate on gender.
I don't see why you should feel others couldn't do the same to you.
Because the police is not people. It is there to enforce law. If the police do not like something that is done against them, then they must take it up with a judge. They are not the public, so they do not answer to the same laws and reasoning. They are there to uphold the law. If they see something that is illegal, they must go to court and let a judge decide for them, unless it is something like a ticket. In now way or form should they be allowed to take the law in their own hands. In no way should they be able to do this. If they are allowed to do so, then your laws are in worse shape then you thought.
It is the same fake personal touch some callcenters insist of using my name 27 times in a 30 second conversation.
If I compare that with how many times people say my name when they know me and are talking to me, it is incredible that they still think it is something personal.
That's the point of GPLv3: if these OEMs want to screw things up, then they have to deal with not getting to run GPLv3 software.
I am sure that that is exactly why this was invented. To ban Linux from running on hardware.
The only reason that there is no year of the Linux Desktop is because Linux is not pre-installed on a serious amount of machines. This could prevent just that to happen.
Microsoft must be wetting their beds in excitement with the possibility of people not being able to use hardware.
I would say to let the government in the marriage and let everybody else get out. You know, like separation of state and church. In Belgium and Germany (and probably many more countries) there are two ceremonies. One is for the state. This is the one you get your papers. This is the one that makes a difference in your pension and who will look after the children. Then there is one for the church. This is not a must, but for many a nice to have. In a legal way it is meaningless. Some people do it, some people don't. And when people are asked if the are married, everybody understands that we are talking about the legal, government part of it. Not about the ritual that has been done afterward, somewhere else.
If the church wants to call it something else, let them. Why would atheists suddenly not be allowed to get married?
There is a different discussion if a church should be allowed to ban gay people from getting that ritual done in church. This because it can be seen as racism as they look at people on their, race, age or sexual orientation. Yet a separate discussion.
If it's an issue of unauthorized copies, then shouldn't the video with the unauthorized soundtrack on it in the first place be taken down?
No. Just because I put my audio online does not mean that it becomes public domain. So they get an autorised copy and making copies of those is not allowed by current laws. If a writer writes a book, a publisher has the right to copy and distribute the work for e.g. 100 copies (or a gazilion if it contains sparkling people). That does not mean you can make a copy of that copy.
They are a private American company, and have the right to do so.
Fixed that for you. Don't be sure that European companies have the same rights to just prohibit the sales of legal products. This could include things like www.ebay.de and www.ebay.fr It might be illegal to ban the selling of Windows if they sell other software,
As Ebay is not the actual vendor, it could be that have no say in the matter, else then to stop offering the website and close up in Europe.
live in a house that you can afford, not the house that you want
That is advice that should be heard more often. You can save a LOT of money if you look at what you actually need. Now I am single, so obviously YMMV. Many of my friends (male and female) are single as well. I pay about a third in rent compared to what they pay. I live in a studio, they live in an apartment with at least 1 some even 2 bedrooms.
They freak out when they hear or see where I live and say they could not live that small. When I tell them how much I pay, they start to understand.
The reason _I_ live is because I have had much larger places to live and then analysed what I actually used. I either sleep or sit at my PC. So I do not need a seperate room to watch TV. The few times a year I entertain people, I can easily do outhouse. It will cost me less if I factor in the room and furniture I would need at home. I need less time to clean as well.
I understand that it will be different for each living situation, but the most important thing I did was to analyse my living habits to see if I lived in something I needed. I also did it in the right order, so I did not defend what I had and tried to explain it. The next important step was to take actions and actually move to something I needed from something I wanted. As I based my decision on facts, I am extremely happy. The sole thing that bugs me is that from time to time I have to explain people why I live this small and some are jealous of how much extra money I have available. It also made it possible for me to look for a less paying, more secure job. I have that now and am extremely happy.
... I provided very little direct benefit to people who donate...
Apparently he feels guilty for not making a difference between donaters and non-donaters. He shouldn't. People who donate do this as a thank you, including the whole binary part. Not all people are able to build the software. However they contribute to the whole community in another way. Seems to me he is missing the big picture of Open Source.
Sure, those are the shows that you remember. I am sure there were as many that sucked and that you forgot.
You name 14 shows over a period of 10 years. Many of them I thought sucked. Well, almost all that you named I dislike.
I can easily name shows that I liked in the last few years. Some are still running. Breaking Bad, Great British Menu, Falling Skies, Black Mirror, How I met your mother, Lost Girl, The Event, Big Bang, Wild Boys, XIII, Tron Uprising, The Firm, Don't trust the bitch in app. 23, Suits, Nikita, New Girl, How I met your mother, How not to live your life, Happy Endings, Chuck, Dan for mayor, Episodes, This is not my world, Misfits.
So the fact that there is no good things is from all times.
Luckily with technology, we can now ignore what we do not want to see, but can concentrate on what we DO want to see.
Sure, you won't be able to fill 24 hours a day with it. If that is what you want, then you have other issues. You can easily fill 2-3 hours a day unless you are one of the Grumpy Old Men. The technology I use is bittorrent, because where I live we havemany channels from many countries all showing CSI XYZ and soon the Limpics and nothing else.

People are afraid to publish it, so going after Wikileaks seems to be working.
Unless somebody puts a patent on it, copyrights the findings and trademarks the name.
It is crazy if they don't allow it. In fact they should not allow anything else if you live in a hot climate.
Since what we released has been accumulated over several millions of years, that will be a very hard thing to do.

Or perhaps it is that they don;t have time to watch the criminals, because they are listening in so much more into not-yet criminals.
24 hours? I assume you mean 1 day and that is NOT 24 hours, but a second more.

I find it interesting that people who always look for the bad in people always seem to find it.
