It is safer to be a carbon chauvinist if you accept that ancient Mars was covered with oceans. A silicon-based microbe would be hard pressed to explain its distaste for water to its carbon-based neighbor.

There are localization issues as well. Some place names in Turkey appear to be transferred over from legacy windows-1254 code page (e.g. Avcılar displayed as Avcýlar) Some have replacement letters for certain characters (dotless i, ş, ç, ğ)

I agree with your first paragraph but not with the Django example. User.objects.get(id=1) failing is exceptional because you are asking for an object with a specific and unique property. Otherwise, you would be using User.objects.filter(

I believe there is a way around this. Google doesn't need to hide or remove pro-SOPA search results. Making them harder to find would be equally effective. Something like this perhaps? In order to show you the highest quality results,

Don't skip (as I did) steps 15-19. Otherwise, you'll wait a week before GoDaddy releases the domain to your new registrar. When you manually accept the transfer as described in the blog post, the process should complete in a few hours.

Same happened in Turkey this month (#22agustos). The Anon DDoS was portayed as a failure in Turkish media, and the government took credit for successfully fighting off the "cyber-attack". I wonder what would happen if it was LulzSec instead
