Apple used to be the underdog in comparison to Microsoft before the iPhone existed.

Mozilla, well I tend to defend FOSS organizations, but this particular one isn't very easy to defend.

Aren’t Austrians just Germans pretty much?

The FPÖ certainly thinks so, yeah. Most of the rest of us do not.

and require two-thirds of the Supreme Court and federal circuit courts of appeals to overturn any law passed by Congress

Netanyahu would be proud.

Was Ron Wyden not usually one of the few forces for good in relation to internet bills, like SOPA and such? Now he's proposing something like this.

The other things mentioned in the article are unobjectionable, some of them even good, but this?!

Hm. I rarely buy ice cream in stores so I am not sure whether there is apple ice cream in stores here, but at ice cream parlors it is definitely reasonably common here.

Where do you live? Where I live (Austria), apple ice cream is maybe not 100% universally available at all ice cream vendors, but common enough that I have no problems getting it if I want to.

Pizza Hut doesn't exist in my country, Domino's does. I've eaten at both in other countries and prefer Pizza Hut, but I prefer independent pizza restaurants to either of them.

Ich war bisher ganz grundsätzlich skeptisch gegenüber dem Konzept der wehrhaften/streitbaren Demokratie (und aufgrund dessen auch von Parteiverboten) eingestellt. Erst recht, wenn schon "Fremdenfeindlichkeit" für ein Parteiverbot reichen sollte.

Ich denke, für solche Fälle, wo einfach Vorsitzende von Parlamenten sich weigern, ihren verfassungs- und geschäftsordnungsmäßigen Pflichten nachzugehen, muss es aber irgendeine Möglichkeit geben, dagegen etwas zu tun, denn sonst ist die Demokratie wirklich in Gefahr.

I recently switched to "new comments". That ensures I get a healthy mix of new and old, and get to see as many different threads as I can.

 

Hopefully the HVAC people set it to only affect the AIR in the room.

The local police, building inspector, and fire marshal are all contesting my 'safety' assertion, or would be if they could reach me past all the traps.
