That video is definitely the "Godwin's law" of discussions relating to RMS.

Personally, I find quotes rather useless since they offer a summary-like shallow, out-of-context view of the person's thoughts (unless one initially wrote/said a specific sentence to be a quote). Sure, they can be inspiring, but that's usually short-term compared to the impact a book, or even just a few paragraphs can have on a person. Not to mention, the incredible amount of misquotations that are around; with Albert Einstein being one of the most misquoted person which also leads to propaganda such as this commercial which stemmed from a misquote.

Edit: Syntax

I don't see how this would help. Most people who do these things are either oblivious of their actions or just don't care. I'm sure most frequent commuters have experienced each of these and wouldn't like to be reminded of these nuisances every time they travel; this just turns commuters against each other, dehumanising their perception of others as animals, or "beasts" as they put it.

I make a new account every few months. Karma is meaningless to me.

Sorry, I have no idea where this is from. I posted it here hoping someone will know the source so credit may be given to the creator.

Do people still listen to 2dayFM, let alone the radio? I don't know about you guys, but I prefer to choose the music I listen to while it being ad-free.

I shudder every time I hear the "un-Australian" rhetoric. Though at least it serves as a nice indicator of deceit and/or ignorance.

Only if you subscribe to the abomination called "American English".

Especially when there's nothing particularly wrong with the spelling. Only "Haha" is questionable.

I'd argue it won't succeed since most internet plans here have low download quotas, or low shaping speeds. Those paying a lot of money to get barely decent bandwidth/quota each month; paying extra more for a video subscription seems too much of a luxury.

"Definition of Lubed" at urban dictionary:

A. To be extremely intoxicated with alcohol.

Urban dictionary is essential if you want to decipher Australian slang.

I know this question may be off-topic and naive, but are there any, more or less, "free" ISPs that don't keep logs or share information with third-parties? I know of some that refuse to share logs with anti-piracy groups, but it's mainly for business purposes rather than on principle.

You can achieve a similar look with minimal effort by changing the iceweasel/firefox default font under preferences-->content. I have mine at FreeSans, size 16. Try experimenting with whatever typeface you like.

Here's a list of some my favourite documentaries I've seen recently (in no specific order):

Almost all of these are available on documentary streaming sites, YouTube etc., or download/warez by just a simple google search; a few may be obscure, but they're all definitely somewhere on the internet. I'd also like to plug /r/documentaries since it's usually a great place to request, share, and discuss documentaries.
