¡Ayude!


Empecé a reescribir 1001 noches [el versión de dominio público es 1885 ingleses y muy verboso] en inglés moderno y luego a español como part of mi español aprendizaje.
¡Y. No. Puedo. parar!

entropy


the web is becoming so entangled that it's becoming more unusable every day

don't even think about copyright 'owning' everything or the spammers, or the spyware, or that netflix is consuming 999 percent of the internet bandwidth.

how about this...
this place reports the 'trustworthiness' of a website.
i investigated and found that one guy in england had generated millions of 'i do not trust this website'. i can be 'trusted' for $40-$400/year.

what set me off was this...
a brand new email address failed the 'i do not trust you' test due not being on a trusted whitelist. investigation showed that i could be trusted for $20 and a verification more intrusive than a TSA putdown.

they used to put people in jail for doing this.
