I know! I mean, it's not like Nazi/Adult Baby BDSM parties are actually illegal.
Well, Nazi things actually are illegal in a number of countries - Germany for example. I'd think there was a good possibility if you were a visitor to Germany, and the authorities knew you liked wearing nazi things, you'd at lest be detained for interrogation. Also, BDSM stuff is technically illegal in the UK (but then almost everything is illegal in the UK -- unless its the Brown (shirt) Government breaking the law, then it's perfectly ok)
I suspect that's a war that's already lost. But count me in, we've had 8 years of oppression in the UK and the US and no-one's done enough to challenge any of it. When the sun completely sets on freedom and truth (and it's coming folks) we all have ourselves to blame. The writing's been on the wall for a long time now, and like I say -- no-one has done enough to stop it.
Do we really have to go through another Kristallnacht, another Auschwitz or Sachsenhausen for people to fight tyranny, totalitarianism -- and yes, Crimethink?
Craigslist suspects eBay's intentions are less than honorable
Yes, indeed. They only bought into Craigslist so they could get ideas to develop kijiji (which was secretly being developed during the share purchase), and of course so they could exercise some control over their main competitor.
eBay's intention was never honorable, and that was obvious. Why ANYONE would ever think otherwise is incredible, they have no track record of honorable. At least not since Jeff Skoll left.
I sincerely hope that when you read topics upon which you are an expert and find they contain flaws you edit them accordingly.
Oh, nice Utopian theory. In practice it's not so simple. What if you are an expert on something a cabal is protecting? Or something an admin wrote? Until Wikipedia removes the admins and distances itself from Jimmy Wales, there's always going to be problems with the Truth.
For example: Wikipedia just got a sizable grant from a Foundation. On the board of that foundation sits people from General Motors. Let's say you have expert knowledge and cited proof of problems with GM cars. What do you honestly think your changes of getting that info correctly on Wikipedia are?
...for some troll edit to end up getting into the book. I hope they edit it really well and carefully read through it all.
Troll edits are no big deal, they are obvious and no-one is fooled by them. The problem is the "editing" done by admins and the cabals. The subtle changes to reality, the minor manipulations. There's more truthiness on Wikipedia than there is on Fox News.
Wikipedia: the encyclopedia anyone can edit -- as long as Jimbo and his admins let you.
If you live in the UK, (especially London) you know your movements are being monitored - there's a bloody video camera every 12 feet.
Not just London -- everywhere in the UK. There's nearly 5 million of the things. So all you have to do is match up the video to the bluetooth signal from the (easily traceable by bank details or credit card) mobile phone. So if you have a hoodie or a baseball cap on, then they still know who you are (or whose phone you've stolen).
And good luck with that. You'll turn up nothing but "articles" linked to commercial products. You have to use "Lunar Rover". (And it's an article ripped form a single source (albeit NASA))
I wonder if someone could fix Wikipedia's search engine with duct tape? Though I suspect that it's far beyond that kind of repair.
Hmm... yes, it's not worth it at the security check-in. However, it damn well is worth making a fuss. Air travel has become an horrific nightmare in the past 7 years. We are all treated like potential terrorists, our laptops etc are randomly taken away from us, often never to be returned. We are treated to indignities that even cattle do not face.
Everyone needs to be making MUCH more fuss. This has got to stop. Even if you believe in the terrorists under the bed nonsense, you have to understand that by allowing security checks etc like this then the terrorists have won without lifting a single finger.
It's probably already too late to reverse most of the harm done by the Bush and Blair/Brown regimes, however that doesn't mean that every thinking person should not be trying to do just that. It's got to stop.
Airport security -- first job choice for pedophiles now. The government spends half its energy trying to catch people looking at kids in their underwear, and then the other half making sure some people can get a good clear view.
I think roughly once per day there's an headline on/. that is indecipherable. One that either makes no sense whatsoever, or is so specialized, or is so badly written, as to give no clue as to what the actual article is about.

IMO, pay"pal" would be far better of as bankrupt.
That's precisely where they were headed before eBay bought them. Astonishingly, eBay turned them around. Which is not to say that this is a good thing. Paypal is a company that really should have gone bankrupt.

MS needs to fire the marketingdroid they have working out the names of things.
From the people who brought you "squirt" as a verb, now you have "mesh". A word that most people immediately associate with the word "trap".
I suspect the marketingdroid may be a saboteur.
... that's the end of that then...

It's already too late. The sun is setting on democracy in the UK.
Try searching for "Moon buggy" in Wikipedia.

From their initial IPO eBay's share were the darling of the Nasdaq. They rose srtongly and consistently.
The day eBay bought Skype their share price went through the floor. It has never recovered.
Just as well Meg Whitman is already leaving, they really should have fired her a long time ago.
Also, the parent was modded "funny". It sort of is, but also note that it's really more insightful.
