For you non-German speakers out there "google ist doof" actually says that Google IS stupid. It doesn't happen with a capital G, though.

This is all a steaming pile of horseshit. It won't pass proper journalism.

I'm leaving Hacker News. If things got to be censored, it's got to be done on my desk and not by an algorithm or anyone else. If I got to be called a spammer, it's got to be done by a human being. And I certainly don't want to be tricked into believing I'd participate -- I sense supreme assholiness here with which only people can come up who think they're extra-bright. I'll find myself some more honest and fair news site where I can choose myself what I want to see. Live long and prosper.

Uh? Is that new? Whenever I posted something already there I got diverted to it. And I believe the older submission got an extra point. That was cool.

Maybe it's different when the older post was marked as being dead? But I hope there isn't such a lack of humour on HN.

right... now this submission is visible again. weird. maybe I need new glasses. :p

check out http://xycombinator.com though

And why are submissions marked as being dead by default? I find it hard to believe someone is marking it dead - even this question - within less than three seconds.

I'd rather prefer to be banned instead of wasting my time.

"Bill Gates the software prodigy". Ha-ha. A PR-fuckup that unfortunately found its way into the minds of journalists who should know better.

In the 80's many books have been written that point out nicely that Microsoft is just a bunch of criminals. They didn't do anything to make our lifes better.

Lots of fun to be had playing around with your brain and a 9V battery!? No. On average a body has about 1000 ohms (wet hand to wet hand) which in my mind divides down to 9mA, 4.5 times the recommended current. 0.15mA reaching your heart will probably kill you. About 15mA/cm² on an electrode will cause tissue damage. So, if you want to experiment with this in a safe manner, get something that will provide only 2mA, no more, no less. And even then you can fuck yourself up easily. Great potential for big laughs.

Now let's mass-email Bellard to coax him into publishing an open-source version. :)

The Gründerzuschuss is only for people who live of the governments unemployment insurance (ALG I). You get it for 6 months (if you've been employed for one year) up to 12 months (if you've been employed for two years). And there still must be three months of insurance left to apply for it.

If you don't get that insurance anymore, you get about €364 per month plus rent and health insurance (ALG II). Then, you can still try to start your own business but you only get some extra pocket money if you can be expected to make a living within 6 months (ha-ha). If you don't take the pocket money, you have 12 months until you have too look for employment again. Also, you cannot keep the money you earn for investments. About 90% of those attemps fail. Honestly, I cannot believe that the German government wants us to be independent, merely out of the statistics for a while.

Oh, by the way: if they put you on anything that takes more than 14 hours a week (like some €1/h job or some useless course) you're not officially unemployed. That's how they managed to come up with those incredible statistics.

arbitrage? what's that?

O.K. I got it googled. The notion I was looking for is "offshore hosting" which could enable some quite popular free speech platform. Costs about US $120/month for a dedicated server. Thanks for your answers!

.to domains seem to be a good bet. Tongas domain authorities don't provide anyone with information about domain owners.

U.S. law doesn't exactly conform with my interpretation of freedom and it doesn't help with the anonymity issue.
