It's also great for removing the stains off of coffee pots.
xmrsilentx··on California law requires businesses to let you cancel your subscription online
I've actually closed bank accounts to get away from subscription services. It really is an outrage. What more should it take than telling them you don't want to pay for their service anymore?

Everyone else is thinking it... So I'll just say it... It's about goddamn time.
xmrsilentx··on Ask HN: What's the worst you've ever screwed up at work?
I think what he meant was "It just so happened,"
xmrsilentx··on How I “hacked” Kayak and booked a cheaper flight
Cool. So just booking one flight pays for almost a years worth of VPN service.

It would only constitute a flamewar topic if he were advocating an alternative to GNU.
xmrsilentx··on GNUnet 0.10.0 released
GNUsenet seems like a more appropriate name.
