Linus Torvalds has a sense of humour. "Youtube no workee - Fedora 9 not usable for wife." So begins a bug he filed on Fedora's Bugzilla. "I didn't try a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually worked. And what's the internet without the rick-roll? Some just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install current Fedora 9; 2. Rick-roll!; 3. No profit!" Thanks to Fefes Blog and dr_evil in #haiku for pointing this one out.

No, don't mind. In Germany, we don't have any political opinion, and "Nazi stuff" is an absolute no-go here, you are not welcome to talk about it in public (the same way death or war are no-go topics here), just a sidenote in history classes. Still enough every German and all his descendants get ashamed, but not enough to know anything in particular. Getting information without propaganda interferences isn't that easy. Strange contradiction... forgetting it and still being guilty... Deniying history is much better than learning from it, isn't it? (This was off-topic, I know.)
Many real Nazis from Germany had to find this out, too. :-) But you're right. The term "Nazi" implies many things you should not attribute to a person, not even for "joy purposes", because the Nazis, their henchmen and followers have brought much sorrow towards their victims. And that's no joy. But you may still poke fun at their stupidity. :-)
