Yes continue please, as those scenarios rarely happen in real life. I use not even my own phone number to verify for a new device... and you can change the phone number on the registration web site anyway.
There needs to be a way to quickly verify/add new devices and phone number with SMS is the most easiest way to do that.
If you don't like that, up to you. But cursing and swearing about it is rather stupid.
Why are people actually buying stuff like that google box and amazons Alexia?
I don't get it.
Some people call me old fashioned but, well I'm more surprised that people are actually buying/using that stuff than that I consider myself old fashioned.
I never will have need for such a thing, unless I lie in bed paralyzed from my spine down.
What if your opinion is considered "Hate Speech" by those that have power? Those "who have power" don't declare what is hate speech. A Judge does.
Looks like getting arrested for expressing your beliefs in Germany is quite common, especially if it's about migrants or the holocaust. Erm, are you kidding me? Did you read any of the links your post gave?
In Germany on average one person per year gets arrested for "hate speech". Probably less. And those persons have good luck that they got not beaten up or worth by the mob first.
They parade down Main Street. That'd be so illegal in your country. It is not. They salute, yell slogans, hand out papers, and solicit new members - in the open. Depending on the "salutes" and content of the papers etc. this is legal here too.
We have that right. It's a pretty big distinction between our countries. In our countries, certainly not, in your mind, yes.
We are all pretty much the same, but we will allow degenerate Nazis to march down the street in our capitol AND we'll give them police protection. We do the same. As long as they don't trigger any laws that is fine. E.g. showing "Hitler greetings" or wearing SS runes.
You still have scumbag Nazis. They just stay in the shadows, more often than not. So have you. And we both only know about those that don't stay in the shadow.
You would also disprove about 90% of Earths religions and given Actually it would not. First of all in most religions "human" simply stands for "god like" - "intelligent being" and not necessarily "looks like a human on earth" and secondly many religions have not the idea that mankind was made by a god or gods. There are basically only the Abrahamic religions where the idea that mankind is "made" by a god is a key feature.
In the end, there is nothing to prove about religions anyway. Buddhists e.g. believe in reincarnation (Christs/Jews/Moslems, too! But they reincarnate only ONCE! How stupid is that?) and being reincarnated in any kind of life form explicitly does not exclude being reincarnated as an 8 armed 16 legged intelligent Spaghetti Monster in a Galaxy far away.
And I for my part, I'm an atheist. But that does not prevent me from living a life God would like. And if the Buddhists are right, I don't care if I get reincarnated on Earth or on a planet elsewhere. And if the Christs/Jews/Moslems are right, I end up in Heaven anyway. There is no need to go to Church to end up there.
However I prefer to be an Atheist and accept that after my death there is... nothing. That is compile and runtime compatible with Buddhism, as you have no memory of your previous lives.
Ending up in a Christian/Jewish/Muslim Heaven would be indistinguishable to Hell for me. What would you do there in all eternity and you can not even commit suicide?
True, I used Google Talk with my iChat client (a old school variation of iMessanger). iChat was for a long time the best Yabber client on Mac OX X, but lie Google promoting Hangouts, Apple did iMessenger. No one really is using it. To buggy. If you have multiple devices both sent and "received" messages go lost (sometimes ofc. Obviously not all of them, or Apple had realized it and probably fixed it).
I have about 80 contacts on Skype. 90% of my phones address book is either on - Viber - Telegram - or on WhatsApp (which I no longer use as it refuses to upgrade/install on my old iOS version)
A good deal is on iMessenger (but we don't use it, it is to buggy)
I had about 10 contacts on GTalk. I have 2 on Hangout (both on GTalk, too).
I even have one KiK contact... don't remember how that happened.
The chance that any of my contacts migrate to Hangout is basically ZERO. On my Desktop I don't use it, unless one of my 2 contacts needs to call me urgently.
BECAUSE I DON'T USE WEB APPS ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER!!!! Google get that, or die in flames.
You can not "alt tab" from app to app to browser tab, can't be so hard to grasp. And Chrome like Safari, is to dumb to have an "all tabs" menu, only "all windows"... how am I supposed to find my hang outs tab?
youtube users who were merely applying the fair-use rules appropriately in the first place. I would say it is pretty difficult to use youtube in a "fair-use sense".
and files bogus DCMAs against legitimate Youtube Filing bogus DCMAs is obviously super easy.
Hangout is one of the most ugly programs I have ever used. (yes I use the App on Android, and used to use it on iPad until it got discontinued (( for my iOS version? ))...) No idea what UI designers think, probably there was none...
Why one is replacing a Jabber based communication system with a Hangout bullshit is beyond me.
The tests were geared to measure participants' available cognitive capacity -- that is, the brain's ability to hold and process data at any given time. Because I realized my cell phone is not even in reach... hurrying home now. PANICK!
I told you that there are scientific experiments which show that the so called "inner energy" is nothing more than an increased blood flow. Clearly visible on thermal cameras.
Perhaps you want to go back two posts...
All that has nothing to do with the fact that you can do the experiments in minutes your self, but you refuse. So you are not scientific, but somehow scare.
As for making you happy, although you protest it must fill a psychological need otherwise you would not argue for it so much when you have no scientific basis It never occurred you that I'm simply a stupid german and that we are known "to like to be right!"??
So why do you feel so compelled to argue for vitalism when you have no scientific bases, evidence or other? I don't know what vitalism is. I talk about a thing which in my martial arts is called Ki, can clearly be precepted, and is called CHI and various other names in other cultures. You don't need a scientific study to talk about your own perception and YOU don't need a scientific study to make a simple test and perceive the same. That is all. I'm not "arguing" about Ki/Chi/Qi or what ever. I'm simply surprised that you don't want to make an experiment. And I'm insulted that you treat me like a wacko;D So in other words: I argue about your reluctancy to do an experiment that would change your Weltbild, but is completely unimportant for the course of your life and for mine.
It is more or less like suggestion: "play that computer game! I'm sure you will like it!" and I give you the CD and you never try it. Completely irrelevant for your or my live, but a bit disappointing if you were my friend.
Of course, "inflaming hate versus others" can easily be interpreted so widely that it can be used by the government to censor speech No it can't as told you now several times. The government has no influence on judges and police.
where the government feels most vulnerable, like Merkel's migrant policy, which is exactly what is happening. There is nothing happening in that regard. There are not even protests against her politics. 90% of the germans stand fully behind it.
Something on the scale of Rotherham would never happen here because enraged Fathers, AR15 in hand, would hunt them down like the animals they are. Good thing I'm not in Europe, I'd arrested for saying that.... You would not be arrested, why would you? Are you really that stupid? What you say is wrong, but who cares? You would be arrested after you had hunted them down. Here, and in your country. And then convicted. Here and in your country.
Can't be so hard to grasp what "hate speech" is... your examples are none.
So NO, we don't have the same free speech rights as Europeans, idiot. What we have is far better, hence original point. As many slashdot posters _from the USA_ have pointed out in this thread: your rights are more or less the same as we have in Europe. The only difference is, in rare cases, that you need to invoke civil law - that means the offended has to go to court, while we have _rare cases_ where a state attorney can call for prosecution. You have cases, too, where a state attorney did call for prosecution and won. So: you have hate speech "case law".
All your link examples above are pretty pointless. I would suggest to check which people actually get brought to court for "hate speech" instead of sending random links about other crimes. Your links have nothing to do with hate speech at all... only rape and other bullshit. What do you want to imply with them is beyond me.
That is not the "definition" but common sense. That is how all fascist regimes worked, starting with the Spartans (because we don't know much about older ones), going over the Roman empires (from Emperor times on) to modern times. The webster definition is btw much closer to _MY_ definition than the link you posted before.
Point is: there is no dictator needed, an oligarchy is enough. As soon as you have an oligarchy (which you in all history examples had, besides that Franko, Mussolini and Hitler where Dictators, they all had an oligarchy of direct supporters, industrial barons etc.) you have by definition a ruling class and a non ruling class (see your webster link).
Besides that there are plenty of more Fascist states in that sense than your original link implied, e.g. North Korea, China before ca. 1990, Russia till end of Khrushchev, even east Germany could be counted till unification.
Point is: a Dictator makes a ruling/government not necessarily a Fascist one. And being Fascist does not imply you have a dictator. It could be a democracy (limited to the voting class, e.g. see the southern part of the USA during the secession wars. They clearly considered them selves a democracy, but big parts of the population where slaves: Fascists. Not in the classical sense, as in a classical fascist system you have a slim chance to change class.).
Your webster link clearly says that mankind is divided into "the better ones" and the less "good ones", it gives examples by race and nationality. That extents to my "classes".
Instead of posting random links, but I admit it is a bit difficult, better read some history about it.
I would argue any time you can get arrested for expressing an opinion or belief you absolutely do not have democracy. You seem not to grasp it. You don't get arrested for expressing a believe or an opinion, facepalm.
If you get arrested for attempting to debate, discuss, or persuade you are nowhere near a democracy. How can you be so dumb that you believe you can get arrested for "debate, discuss, or persuade"????

It opens its own window, but it is still a "Chrome Window"
So no: you can not alt tab to it. At least not on a Mac with "command-tab".
Why are people actually buying stuff like that google box and amazons Alexia?
I don't get it.
Some people call me old fashioned but, well I'm more surprised that people are actually buying/using that stuff than that I consider myself old fashioned.
I never will have need for such a thing, unless I lie in bed paralyzed from my spine down.
The fact that you don't see the edges of "controls" ??
Stop lying.
Are you an idiot or what?
If I don't know something you know, it is not a ly, fucking moron.
My Telegram app on my iPad has no voice calls. Idiot!
I can press a button to record my voice and then send to my chat partner.
Get a damn clue what a "lie" is, asshole.

Of course not.
I played World of Warcraft long enough.
In Christian history only one got resurrected.
But so did in: Egypt history (Osiris), in Germanic/Nordic history (Odin), or in sumerian mythology (Dumuzid)
Well, just bragging with my nerd knowledge ... what was the point? I have no point.
Telegram does not really require your phone number, it only needs one to verify your account.
What is wrong with that?
It does not look like this on my Mac.
Never heard about Camfrog, another chat client?
I use it on a Mac.
It looks quite fine, no real "difference" to other chat applications.
It's a very, very big difference.
No it is not.
We are all pretty much the same, but we will allow degenerate Nazis to march down the street in our capitol AND we'll give them police protection.

In your country it only makes more press when on "stands up".

I have a brand new Android device, well 6 weeks old. A Lenovo Yoga Book.
