My husband uses ladies restrooms regularly, because that's where the baby change tables are.

It's definitely better then not open source, but still I'd love to know more about those "world's best" developers and who pays them.

Open source is the necessary but not the sufficient condition. It needs to be reviewed by independent people, otherwise the open source part is useless.

It's not exactly him. In my experience most Russians are homophobic to the core, unless they know some LBGT personally.

But who does inspect it, not me for sure. So, how safe actually is Linux? And how safe is any distribution?

Why, even the Spiegel article says right at the beginning that it's just playing with words for the sake of elections:

"But for this change of course to be more than just an election ploy, the government should however advocate a change in the EU Directive in Brussels. Which prescribes a six-month storage of traffic data - and the Union confirms in other parts of its election manifesto that it holds onto the fundamental goal to implement the Directive. "Minimum retention period" is spoken in the Union for two years already - and means nothing but data retention."

Oh no, the people with ideas are the more dangerous. People with guns might kill a few people, but people with ideas can influence a lot more people.

So, where can you sign up as an open source / creative commons artist? There are a lot of great hobby artists, but who will introduce the artists to the projects?

Whenever I see photos of suffering children in a political context for me it is the "look at those poor children, clearly the [opposing group] are poor evil" argument. Which is not about the children anymore, it's about diverting your attention from the cause of the problem. And this argument is used over and over on any occasion. How can you not become numb to that?

Here in Germany I saw people up to 26 years old being referred to as adolescents. That's the typical age when you're done with the university.

I doubt that parents abusing their kids or the kids being abused are even aware that some people would think of the relationship as abusive. What if it's just verbal bullying? And I suppose it's mostly psychological abuse. Maybe when the child grows up it will realize that the parent was wrong, but not at 10 years or younger.

Oh yes. Even with documentaries which should usually be better researched there is so many inaccuracies on the subjects I do know something about that I'm careful to remind myself that the stories on subjects I don't know about are probably equally inaccurate.

I don't have TV at home and don't read any news online, except maybe once a month while procrastinating. I rarely find anything that really concerns me there and if I do I usually skip right to the comments for the broader range of opinions or search the internet for more information.
