That etymology for 'Britain' doesn't seem to be referenced anywhere else—the link in the post you've linked to hasn't worked since 2003 and doesn't cite its source either. Seems the name derives from Brythonic (British Celtic) and meant "the painted ones" or "the tattooed folk" rather than a reference to tin. The etymological path it took was (roughly): Brythonic -> Ancient Greek (by way of the Greek explorer Pytheas) -> Latin -> Old English/Middle English/Old French -> Modern English [0][1]

Yeah—not arguing the overall wisdom of law enforcement's approach here, but it's important to understand how much these guys were aware of the illegal activity on their platform and chose to actively facilitate it.
According to the Senate report on the matter[0], Backpage would systematically help posters reword illegal ads to appear less so:
"Backpage has publicly touted its process for screening adult advertisements as an industry-leading effort to protect against criminal abuse, including sex trafficking. A closer review of that “moderation” process reveals, however, that Backpage has maintained a practice of altering ads before publication by deleting words, phrases, and images indicative of an illegal transaction."

1. Saying someone said something is a personal attack? Let me rephrase: "The textual information that became visible to me once the reply button was pressed on your computer" — or is my use of 'your' still out-of-bounds?
2. I didn't include enough detail in my post to actually conclude whether my appeal to authority is fallacious, since that entirely depends on in what manner I'm citing the authority. On the other hand, the post I responded to contained implicit appeals to supposed authoritative information ("There is a universal correlation...", emphasis mine) and the subsequent conclusions based on that authority.
I thought it was pretty self-evident that torpedoed your entire comment by claiming 'universal correlation' across all cultures and organizations—was any further response to that really necessary? You're throwing around gigantic assumptions that don't bear up under even the most minor investigation into the nature of power and respect cross-culturally.
None of what you said is in any way anthropologically sound.
How does this differ from followupthen.com?
More like, Pinterest: A jQuery Masonry-style social media sharing site.
Maybe on the website, but not in the App Store app itself (yet).
Questioning whether Chomsky was worth the teacher's praise demonstrated that you held the uncritical viewpoint, not her.
As opposed to your uncritical lack of appreciation?
I just logged on there and saw some pretty bad power flaunting / judgment by an op. Doesn't seem like the most open-minded or helpful community so far.
Design sanity test: Don't animate a dropDOWN menu sliding UP.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I'm noticing speed/pitch differences in playback when I load a file from my disk versus playing in iTunes. Billy Joel sounds more like Janis Joplin.
Edit: Horrible bug report -- I'm in Chrome 12 with the Web Audio about:flag enabled on Mac OS X 1.6.7
Edit 2: Just tested in Chrome Dev 14 and the issue is unchanged.
