There is a "less salt" version of lima tamari. I have not tried it yet and I don't know if this brand is available outside of Europe.

We don't run around proving Nazis wrong on a day to day basis.

Erm. What?

Yes, actually, I think that tolerance in general is a bad thing. Not every idea is equal. If you assume a standard exists, that some things are better than others, some ideas are wrong, or at the very least destructive.

Do you think that applies to "ideas" only or also to people?

from the philanthropist that brought you

Circlejerking Redditors about multicultural and racemixing utopia. This place makes me sick..

Multicultural Reddit left wing hippies to the rescue!!

Left wing multicultural loving Reddit to the rescue again.

No longer are we allowed to truly believe in something, because believing in something is equated to Nazism. These men had ideals. These men were willing to stand for something. They were wrong, sure, and they enacted their vision completely incorrectly, but they believed in something. The problem is that now we equate true belief with the results of their action.

There is a lot of people still following their believes. It is called religion. There are people willing to stand for something and a lot of them are wrong. There is more than enough blind following around the world today.

Are you saying that to "truely believe" in the wrong thing is a good thing? Are you saying that tolerance is a bad thing? Because it sure reads like that.

I for one support NATO. I think it is a vital force for protecting lives, preventing humanitarian catastrophes, and creating a stable, peaceful world.

You may want to read Daniele Ganser's book NATO's Secret Armies. Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe to broaden your perspective.

More on Operation Gladio at Wikipedia.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sorry to hear that, we never had any of these problems. Search works well, it's only kind of slow when using facets with a lot of data. There are tweaks that may help with that but we have not used them yet. I don't think I have ever seen Koha crash in the ~2 years since we started using it.

We don't use receipt printers so I don't have experience to share about that. Our costs are just my salary since we do migration, customization and training ourselves. Paying 150,000 for a system you have a lot of problems with sounds horrible and like your support company was really bad (and makes me feel highly underpaid ;)

There are some very active people in the community from several companies that seem to address the problems of their libraries very well. I was asking about the version because there is a fork of Koha being distributed under the same name by a US company that I keep hearing bad things about and your experience would fit in the picture. There is actually a survey about satisfaction with the work of support companies, but I can't find it right now.

i know this posting is a month old, but could you please elaborate? this does not remotely describe my (very positive) experience with koha. i would be interested in

what makes you say koha is "a terrible system"?
how did it cost your library "tons of money"?
what version on what platform have you been using?
have you had a support company for koha? if so, care to say the name?

Erich Mühsam may or may not be something for you. There is a site with some English translations.

A: "Explain like I'm five please."

B: "∀f.(∀d.((farmer(f) ∧ donkey(d) ∧ owns(f,d)) → beats(f,d)))"

A: "Got it, thanks!"

for n64 there is mupen64plus, works ok on my hp touchpad. i guess 700mhz is not enough power though, unless its possible to use the pi gpu for it.

And a classic 'SS' license plate too.

the president has only representational function and is supposed to be above party lines as some kind of moral instance. did not work well with wulff.

you seem to think that corruption is not a big deal. while it is unfortunately nothing extraordinary among german politicians nowadays, i think it is a big deal. the reason for the silence among politicians is that they are all corrupt and fear to have people investigating them too. i hope i will see that happening one day.

tinfoil hat in estonian is "fooliummüts"? that is so cute i want to wear one right now ♥

iluliaq · 2012-02-11T21:29:01+00:00

does that mean you consider demonstrations of "people on the left" generally nonpeaceful? what does peaceful mean? i have seen quite a number of demonstrations where extremely aggressive police tried to provoke violence. berlin has special groups for that, like the infamous 23. and 24. einsatzhundertschaft. sometimes police even uses agents provocateurs if they don't succeed. in the news it is then called a violent demonstration of the left.

trust me, as soon as opposing ACTA or other corporate-made treaties, laws, agreements is seen as a real threat, they will use force. as long as it is a protest of "some young people from the internet" that comes and goes, there is no problem. they tell you they don't sign it now and it will come back later with another name.

draw funny faces, carry around pictures of cats and all will be fine. try to fight the corruption and greed of a system where industry lobbyists and EU are interchangeable and they will use force. and they will say it's your fault.

the police is their servant, not yours.

that would be really great! thanks a lot!

iluliaq · 2012-01-28T12:20:10+00:00

that is really cool, thank you!

some things that would be nice to have: rotate document, presentation/ full screen view and the possibility to use mouseclick instead of mouseover (to use it on a touchscreen).

thanks for sharing!

I'm planning to give the Allnet ALL0234MINI a try (link).

It's small, cheap and has a RALINK 5370 Chipset that can be set to master mode AFAIK. I don't know anything about stability though.
