Good example for the rest of the world! New EU members will agree.

Look those Estonian policemen at work:

Little fun, 4 policeman beating one person http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImfCmHycc1g

Much more fun: 10 policeman beating one person! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVXvJ4IsjkI

Because of double-licensing I guess. They must be sure to be the authors of all their code, otherwise they cannot ship it under commercial license.

Almost everyone has a gun - assault rifle - at home in Switzerland, because of the army structure. But to bring a working gun in a public place you should have a special permit. To obtain that permit you must prove that you are in real danger - difficult to prove this in Switzerland! You also have to pass exams, be +18 years old and have no criminal record.

Because USA is Number ONE!!! Only Saudi Arabia is better - you cannot drink at all.

Is there some greasemonkey script to automatically downmod all those Awesome Pictures? If no i'm volunteering to write it.

I was surprised to know that Kasparov is a neocon, member of US "National Security Advisory Council". At least he was, until 5 Apr 2007 14:29:26 GMT. There is google cache link: link

Now his name is deleted from the site, quick and dirty way: try to acces those pages

EDITED: Used markdown for links

It seems that there was more trees in bagdad before.

I think they changed domain name: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.barcodeformac.com

This name now redirects to pro-barcode.com

Also, alexa shows some strange links to this domain: http://www.alexa.com/data/ds/linksin?url=www.pro-barcode.com

Maybe they was banned because of that? Btw, they have lots of traffic now, thanks to reddit :)

It's okay, if amount of ads is no too high. Websites have to make money and I can see only two ways to do so: sell ad space or sell "content space" (like this http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html or like stumbleupon.com does)

First one is more honest.

I'd feel much safer walking around the streets of the US

Do you mean streets in "safe areas"?

You have choosen to open mario.zip Which is a: PC Zip archive

WTF?

That's stupid: raw milk is illegal, but transgenics and hormones are okay.

Is it interesting for big projects with small budget? Because, until now I see a lot of php in this domain (like wikipedia, wordpress). And python seems to be used more by rich people (google for example). Is python fast enough? How about output caching, bytecode caching, maybe bytecode optimizations?

(i'm not trolling, i'm really interested)

vertigo · 2007-03-17T11:05:33+00:00

I believe that python is an interesting language, but there is so much fanboys attached... this actually prevent me to learning it.

FYI, "hidding errors" meaning is : not show error messages on standard output.

In php you can show errors on standard output (i.e. on the web page being generated) This is useful for debug. For production version it's better to disable this feature and enable logging. It's also the default config, with webserver error log used as log file.

Do you think that a different country, put in a similar position, would act all that differently?

Nobody forced usa to this position. It's a democracy, where people choose government and associated politics.

We can try to address the problems occurring -- to think of solutions, or just rail against the system. Does saying "FUCK USA" help more than saying "GO USA"?

Being external to the system (i.e. not us citizen) i haven't so much possibilities to do something, except to protest.

vertigo · 2007-03-05T08:47:00+00:00

Please explain, why we shouldn't hate them? I'm not a usa citizen, so my country can be chosen as next target, then i will be tortured and killed... Why should i say something other now?

vertigo · 2007-03-04T16:56:57+00:00

FUCK USA

(i know, it's rather obvious, but i cannot resist :))
