If a restaurant knows that a customer is allergic to anything in its environment, it needs to accomodate that.
Well, idealy, yes. They aren't actually required to do anymore than inform you that they aren't able to guarantee their food is free of the allergen and if that is a problem you should take your custom elsewhere.
Personally I just hate the idea of any peripheral that requires you to use a specific piece of software to interact with it - I want something that will just mount as an external harddrive.

Basically we need to rework the legal concept of possesion as it relates to information. Or perhaps abandon that altogether for the purpose of defining a crime.
Of course this all gets into the debate over whether it should be against the law to look at or possess certain information (for whatever reason). Does someone looking at child pornography cause demonstrable harm? I suppose there are the crazy people out there who claim that looking at porn is harmful and addictive because it has been showen to alter brain chemistry, but guess what? So has sitting through a religious service, or even going for a good long jog. Even if looking at porn can be shown to be harmful, should the government be in the business of telling people how they behave when they are not causing harm to others? In anycase I don't see any way of solving the problem of whether someone with abnormal sexual desires looking for illegal porn causes that illegal porn to be produced or if persons with abnormal sexual desires look for child pron because they know it is being/has been produced.

It's just another example of how the totalitarian government that runs this planet partitions off information in such a way that we are forced to... oh wait, wrong site... err... I for one welcome our new fasionable overlords.
It also could really use the ability to move an event from one calendar to another (or at least copy it).
You can already do this. Cut the event you want to move, select the calendar you want to move it into in the box in the upper left of the screen, paste the event in.

"I feel like I jut sandpapered my lungs and throat afterwards." Really? You must get bad shit, man.
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
Besides it's alot harder to come up with oneliners about Debian wanting less restrictive policy from software.
