How about in Belgium?

That looks suspiciously like a JBH. The remote control isn't seen in operation - is it just a prop?

MindGuard
So, I guess we'll need an updated version of MindGuard then?

Re:It's all hypothetical
Now everyone in Belgium speaks French, and only 1/15 of Belgium is considered Belgium today.
Nah. Belgium doesn't actually exist, it's just a leftist ruse; a device applied to propagate the Liberal agenda throughout the world.

Oh come on it must be true!?
Any scientific theory (good or not) may be used as propaganda for those who want your money or to prove your stupid. Example: Global Warming, while it is very likely that the earth is warming both sides of the argument are just using us to get the money and political support they want. Example: The Northwestern Tree Octopus http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ (Yes if you believe this one you can send me a $1 donation to knit booties for all the freezing polar bears living in Antarica.)

Belgium doesn't exist
You can say Belgium.
After all, how can people be harmed by something doesn't exist?

Re:Keep your eye out for...
It saddens me to hear that you are not using MindGuard. Using only a tinfoil hat does not offer full protection!

My only question...
Will it work even if I'm wearing my tinfoil hat?

Re:What a crock
Can I recommend the following item for you as well. I hear it stops M$ and Google reading your thoughts as well.

Re:Time for a .CSA TLD
While we are at it, can we have a TLD for the Republic of Cascadia? In the
.us domain, they also need state codes for the State of Jefferson and the state(s) of Lincoln. -
Re:Gap in the market!
I have a pocket for my phone in my Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie. This protects me from unwanted charges, plus it keeps the black helicopters from being able to track my phone.

Re:Windows ?
It's stories like this and the FISMA scores that pushes me to contend that the Financial Vertical is still on top of the security pyramid. It mostly has to do with being able to quantify and measure risk.

Well maybe in retribution to Belgium for their extreme copyright position, rather than delist things, they could just make sure this site is ranked up near number one for any searches with Belgium in the terms.

"catch up?"Didn't know the US was "behind." Maybe we could have put a man on the Moon... oh yea, we are the only ones that have ever done that... using SAE. Maybe we would have the most powerful military in the world... oh yea, we have that too. Seem that we are ahead of the rest of the world, not behind. The fact of the matter is it isn't easy to change an entire country from SAE (Standard American Engineering, NOT "Imperial", that is another measure) to Metric. In the beginning literally EVERYTHING would have to change. Every wrench, printing press, liquid measurements, the paper written on and so on. Today that is about 50% true. In the 1970s the typical automobile had hardly any parts, if any metric parts on it at all. Today most of the car if not all of it is metric. Even for the most backward car company out there... who shall remain un-named (hint, not GM).
Side from the severe economic penalty to changing to a system that isn't even based off of anything real (i.e. what it was originally supposed to be based on we now know is wrong), there is also the rebel factor. The ability to not let the leaders tell us what to do. We aren't mindless like other countries that simply complied. Ok, that probably isn't fair, Like other countries that after great debate caved into a simple measuring system that any idiot could use. I know because I have seen complete idiots use Metric.
I can remember there was the idiotic attempt a few years ago to switch to metric time. See http://zapatopi.net/metrictime/ . So clearly Metric isn't "universal" as proponets claim it is.
It would be nice if we all did use the same measurement, whatever it is. Personally I don't care because I use both. I think within the next say 20 years SAE will die out. It is already on the run now. I'll keep my SAE sockets around so I can still work on older stuff. Just need more time to let the older folks die out, then for better or worse it will be a Metric world.

Re:Funny, but lame
>Tell me, what's the metric unit for time?
It's the second. If you have ever taken a look at the MKS system (Meters, Killograms, Seconds), it makes physics so much easyer. All units can be expressed in MKS units.
Actually that is not correct for two reasons. First the second is the SI (Systeme Internationale) unit of time but it is not really a metric unit of time. There have been some systems suggested for metric time but given that time has to be tied to astronomical measurements none really work well i.e. there have to be 365/6 "day units" in "year unit".
The second mistake is that not all units can be expressed in terms of metres, kilograms and seconds. Try electric charge for example which is measured in coulombs.
>1 Joule is the amount of energy required to raise 1kg to a height of 1m.
Oops! Looks like you need to review the difference between mass and weight. A joule is the energy required to apply 1 Newton over a distance of 1 meter or to raise 1 kilogram 0.102 meters at a nominal gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s.
Actually this is not correct either since you can move a force of 1 newton over a distance of 1 metre without doing any work. The correct statement is 1 joule is the work done when a force of 1 newton moves through a displacement of 1 metre in the direction of the force. -

Re:It's your law, so fix it goddamn!
You're right, the DMCA was introduced during the Clinton administration. That's why I proposed you changed your political system, because frankly I don't see many differences between the Dems and the Reps, both are reigned by their sponsors. So in fact, it's the big companies that run the country, not the people.
PS: I live in Belgium and although I like living here, the political situation isn't optimal either. So you probably right to state that I should shut the fuck up, until I fix the situation overhere.
But, actually I don't exist: http://zapatopi.net/belgium/ -
no impact?
You can try explaining this to the Republican House and Senate losers in Tuesday's election, but they're likely to respond by cramming a tinfoil hat on your head, the political effort that got rid of them was largely organized online. Don't try explaining this to Karl Rove, he's likely to try to rip your head off.
As for Bev Harris, I'll just say that there were tens of thousands of lawyers organized to take legal action when attempts at cheating were discovered, connected both online and via toll-free number. If there weren't a great deal of nervousness about Diebold and general GOP voter suppression practices, there would have been no such effort. And, of course, the fact that we ever heard of Bev Harris's discovery of serious voting machine problems is 100% Internet based, many of the original stories that broke the news about Diebold came from the New Zealand site scoop.co.nz when the MSM wouldn't run them. How often did Americans read stories from the NZ press before the Web made them easily available?
While what you say about what happened to Howard Dean is correct, the MSM basically unknowing set up the conditions for the regime change we just got by screwing Dean, the "50 state strategy" where we tried to get Democrats to run in every single partisan election was Dean's idea as DNC Chairman, and is why there were Democrats on tickets where no Democrat had won in a decade or more. As a reward, I hope the Democrats write legislation to restore the old limits on broadcast network ownership and the Fairness Doctrine. -
Re:I want the last edition.Darwin's problem: he needed millions/billions of years to account for speciation. During his lifetime, all evidence from other physical sciences indicated that the Sun could not have existed more than a few thousand years (this fit quite well with Biblical theology, btw).
Lord Kelvin's estimate was a few thousand years by chemical burning - which certainly fit with the traditional 4004 BC model - but it was already clear from geology that the Earth is far older than that. Kelvin was able to derive a solar lifetime in the millions of years, supplied by gravitational collapse. But it takes nuclear fusion to sustain a star into the billions of years, and as you say, nobody knew about nuclear physics at the time.
