    What I meant, of course, is that they generally only attack people if hurt. And even then they might just as well bite instead of stinging. I really have a lot of fondness for bumblebees.

    Mostly.because bumblebees wake up earlier. They are also the first ones to get out in the early spring when bees would freeze to death. That is why bumblebees are so furry.

    Bumblebees are the most peaceful kind of Apidae. And also one of the most important polllinators because they fly out when other insects are still hibernating due cold temperatures.

    Yep, sounds about right. I lost interest in my website (a very obscure topic, but nonetheless some Wikipedia pages still quote it) in 2005 but paid for the web space for a few more years. Since 2009 the domain name is permanently for sale. The info is still on archive.org but I doubt anyone would bother - Wikipedia is much more informative nowadays than it used to be back then. The need for obscure websites on obscure topics is gone.

    And democratic people's republic of Korea has "democratic" in its name. Seems you are the bloody revisionist here.
    Socialism, and even more so communism, are internationalist by their very definition (workers of the world, unite). National socialism has always been a lie because it is an oxymoron. Even Hitler was better educated than you and knew that, hence he had Roehm, Strasser and the rest of the SA murdered in 1934.

    Go on, pick it up. Read about Freikorps and how they were used, read about how Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg were murdered by one of these right wing private paramilitary units - most members of that particular unit joined the SS later.

    Nazis were very much pro-business, only nationalised a small part of economy and even state-owned enterprises worked in a capitalist way, very much like GM that was nationalised a few years ago. Most of Nazi Germany weapons were built by private companies. Destroying individual freedoms, disregard for life and eugenics were very much policies of the right back in the day.

    Matter of fact, the right only toned down these policies after WW2 because they suddenly were associated with Nazi Germany atrocities (Nazi Germany eugenics law was based on the ideas of Harry H. Laughlin, leading American eugenicist and sponsor of the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924).

    And as for lack of property ownership, what the fuck are you talking about? There was no such thing in Nazi Germany.

    It is kinda difficult not to be.

  19. Your comments are, as always, the perfect example of conservatives being generally less educated and you have generally no idea, what left and right wings are, what communism and fascism is, calling everything you don't like "left wing", and everything you like "right wing".

    About the first thing Hitler did was to imprison all communists and social democrats. There is a huge fundamental difference between communism and fascism, fascism is an idealist worldview considering the culture an expression of a race's collective soul. This is why fascists consider - and this is so very typical for conservatives in general - communism and socialism, both materialist ideologies, being a cause of western society's decay.

    The sad part of it all is that people like you refuse to get educated and not just proudly wave around their stupidity and lack of knowledge like the flag of their country, but happily swear allegiance to these less than desirable properties. Sometimes I wish people like you would just found their own country - Stupidia - and leave.

    Your example is stupid because
    1) France and Ireland both have reasonably strong privacy laws.
    2) Advertisers that have a business in the UK who would target a UK citizen using re-identified data, would break the law, hence even if they had re-identified a UK user abroad, this data would not do them any good.

    How exactly can collecting user names from data be used for beneficial security research? Security research is fine with anonymous data, re-identification is only interesting for advertisers.

    Russia can easily feed its population. It has vast amounts of very productive arable land near the Black Sea and generally arable land in Russia is abundant making the country the fourth largest wheat exporter in the world. The famines Russia experienced in the early 20th century were caused by mismanagement, but with modern intensive agriculture even that can be mitigated without much difficulty.
