Likewise, Australian courts can't convict criminals of violating U.S. copyright law on U.S. soil.
Yet, it seems U.S. courts can convict criminals of violating Australian copyright law on Australian soil. Your argument falls down where you say "You can not break a laws of one country and seek shelter overseas." He broke Australian law on Australian soil, at no time setting foot in the US, any US laws broken should have been inconsequential, irrelevant and dismissed immediately.
Booze is the #1 chemical alteration people use to enjoy life. Would you ban that? If you need help to enjoy life on a day to day basis, the solution inevitably will be drugs. Synthetic pharmaceutical drugs with hazardous and potentially life threatening consequences. Some prefer natural and safer alternatives, regardless of their legal status. Our society should treat us as intelligent adults capable of making our own choices, not naughty children who don't know what's good for them. This is especially true for pot flavoured candy, something which only dentists should object to.
There were tiny hints as to what this RPG will be like..
Mark Nelson, my colleague at Bethsoft, and lead designer of Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion, has joined the Big Huge team, and I'll be looking to him to do all the Real Work while I Mentor him and deliver Sage Pronouncements.
So he won't actually be doing any Real Work on this title anyway, it'll be the guy who did the Oblivion expansion. Yet we do find out it will be a Tolkienesque world.. well I can only think of a handful of RPG's NOT in a Tolkienesque world. This is almost as vague as an MS product announcement. In fact I can't think of any point to this interview at all, if they don't want to say anything of substance.
This backs up my belief that this is a valid and useful resource for the faculty, students and especially the parents. In fact such a resource would be invaluable for policy makers, though I doubt they would bother trying to implement this themselves. Teaching is a challenging and stressful occupation, and such ratings could easily demoralise and discourage genuinely decent teachers, yet this is in no way a valid reason to prohibit such a potentially beneficial resource.
Either way, we get what we pay for. Teachers and nurses need a decent wage here in Australia, the current setup is a joke.
So when I was a kid, my brother and I would play Double Dragon together. We worked as a team and became so good we got to the end. After you defeat the final boss, you then must fight each other for the girl. Well I managed to get a baseball bat and stand over his body swinging, making it impossible for him to retaliate. You know what happened next?
He hit me.
There you are, the direct link between people being annoying bastards and violence. I mean playing video games.. yeah.
Indeed, such a project could show us why GP is right, that there is no place like home, and that we are already on that slow boat. The colony ship would need 100% reclamation of all materials, with no toxic byproducts. This already rules out nearly all of our modern farming, manufacturing and other techniques. Our problem is how to decontaminate and sustain an already toxic colony ship, a much more difficult task, but one that needs the first steps to be taken. Colony ships seem to be the most likely first step.
So if you value the Earth and want to see it become a sustainable habitat, I cannot think of a better project to encourage than interstellar colonization.
Agreed on your point that testing a bar of soap in the first place was highly suspect. The probability the cop knew it gave false positives seems far higher than the probability that the cop thought the bar of soap was not soap at all, but drugs cunningly disguised as soap.
On the contrary, I believe humanity is one of the guaranteed losers in a war. I believe being bad, essentially evil is necessary in times of war. Basic stuff like respect for life and human dignity go out the door. A world that could avoid such traps would be overflowing in humanity and goodwill. War is Hell on Earth, it's absence would not leave the world empty of fulfilling and challenging pursuits and could only be a wonderful thing.
Of course, it'll never happen until everyone is cool with each other. I'd say 200 generations is a good guess as to the time that might take.
What of the children who contribute useful knowledge, especially in areas where older people aren't interested, or lack knowledge? While vandalism is an issue, you would be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I guess it's easier to notice the vandalism but I'm sure there have been some well written, informative edits coming from high schools as well.
Also, if wikipedia does the blocking, you will be blocking teachers whose profession makes them excellent candidates for editors. Also, perhaps having kids with relatively little malicious intent vandalise the site helps make it more secure against malevolent vandals with agendas.
To combat against multiple frequencies, you could place the cloak for X inside the cloak for Y inside the cloak for Z. Extending this way to full spectrum would be impractical, but multiple frequencies could more easily be blocked.
What you see as apathy could very well be making the choice to just not give a fuck, as GP noted. Yes, you shouldn't pity someone for not conforming to your social ideals, or class all who think differently on a spectrum of disorder.
Indeed, it was one of the great appeals. The fact that you could create almost anything in your imagination meant there were quite a few obsessive types who made some top quality work. Well personally I can't wait for the Lego MMO. I think it will draw out the same types.
Breaking news! Just in! Of the 89% who know it's possible but won't change their engines, over 33% are buying a new car this year, which comes complete with a new engine. They can always keep their old one if they really want with a visit to the mechanic, yet I doubt many would bother.
Fantastic. FTA: "VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech himself drove the 1-Litre-Car from Wolfsburg to Hamburg to join the shareholders meeting - averaging just 0.89 litres per 100 km (317 mpg) along the way."
If they can achieve 317 mpg for a two passenger car, I'm sure a 4 passenger variant can be made to do over 100mpg. I do find it annoying that 5 years later this is still no more than a concept vehicle.
I'd love to see Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana, and while I think they would be fine in their old 2-d sprite goodness, Chrono Trigger 3D would make me go all gooey.
The summary was biased, but the article was fair. After blasting the default Windows and OSX installs he went on to say.. "Once patched, however, both companies support a product that is secure, at least from the outside", something that should have made it to the summary. But then we might have a fair, balanced reasonable discussion, and where's the fun in that?

If you RTFA, titled "Blackout threat for music thieves" you might get an inkling of where the headline came from.
