It is not Microsoft or Coca Cola who have access to the information right now.
Can I remind you of the days MS used the government of the States to extinguish B-TRON in Japan? Anyway, at this point, I don't think MS and Coke need the data. They probably rely on focus groups and polling nowadays.
al qaeda is an ethnocentric fundamentalist initiative, created by the middle east. you cannot possible hold the west responsible for chinese ultranationalism or russian ultranationalism. so why you would hold it responsible for arabic ethnocetrism?
On a slightly unrelated note, if you carefully observe those cultural trends that you call 'ultranationalism' in context, you would notice that those emerged from a state of complete paralysis under a foreign and/or domestic tyrant.
Fiscal havens played a very important part in creating the current economical crisis. Yet, the chicken shit governments of G8 and the world financial institutions haven't done shit to end this, besides a few cosmetic tricks.
All these problems would disappear if we simply enforced the Constitution as written. No warrant; no search of people or their effects (papers/bank accounts).
And the possibility that most bank employees and managers would be arrested. Which would be mighty fine, too.
As usual, corporate CEOs are so far removed from reality that they can continue to fool stockholders every single day with more fairy tales of their own. I would start shorting Ubisoft's stock from today, if i can.
Oh but they do! Until the company goes under that is...
... consoles that have a ROM chip with the game on it, that can only be played on that particular instance. The console would be hooked to the TV, and that's it. You have to buy the whole thing if you want to play. Not that consumers would care or anything. They don't now, and why would they?
I'm possibly not american, but are you perhaps talking about the quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson)?
Freedom that requires bloodshed is not particularly efficient. Although, I guess, it's in most cases the only option.
Why were photos of ice classified in the first place?
Also consider this:
In an unusually fast move by a U.S. government agency...
So, why is it an unusually fast move? Why now? Before we all jump on the bandwagon, consider how many times has CIA released FUD for 'entertainment purposes' in the past. One is nicely illustrated by Adam Cutis' documentary The power of nightmares.
...are taking this thing seriously, too. I can't imagine why anyone would steal accounts if people wouldn't buy them. But I still can't imagine why people would buy them either.
I used to play games to have fun, and achievement was part of the fun. If I just stole other people's achievements, that wouldn't be fun. Or maybe it's all just about the brag factor?
Yeah, Flash is a big fat hog. Just yesterday, I kept a page open which had some 5 pieces of Flash ads on it. CPU was constantly at 100%. I went out to take a break, and when I came back, the laptop just died the moment I touched the mouse. That's just one page, and the whole thing overheated.
Yah, but it's easier to run a virus scanner, spyware remover and adware remover (or even two of each) than it is to get Ubuntu running on a system that isn't fully supported;)...
It's not quite the same thing, but a friend of mine is using a fully supported laptop. So, a logical question would be: Does she cope with anti-whatever-ware install, or would she rather install Linux? The answer is neither. She gets me to do either, so I get to choose.
And since she doesn't really do any maintenance to speak of, Windows XP on her laptop, for me it's much less pain to simply install Ubuntu, which I will do soon.

Damn, man, do you maybe work for RIAA?

Al Quaeda doesn't exist. But don't take my word for it. Just watch the linked documentary.

Human nature being what it is and all, I'm having a hard time conceiving of what the rest of those cases might be.
Those cases where people just stop running from it. Like stopping the 'war on terror' through political means. (Not that it happened.)

Makes you wonder, doesn't it...

Last month, US loaned Serbia $4 billion, if memory serves right. I guess that makes it one day's worth?

More like before the end of 2009.
Yeah, I kinda knew that... I guess that's why I don't own an xbox.

Dutch law allows it, although of course the local copy of the RIAA would like to change that as well.
Copying RIAA should be made illegal.
That's seems fairly visible to me. Then again maybe I'm missing something.
Yes, you're missing the fact that it seems more credible if the resolution is large.

His name is Southern Slavic to be more precise: Serbian, Croation, Bosnian or somesuch.
you're just jealous because my other job gets me attention from the ladies :D
Damn, you got me! :D
I'm a network admin AND a DJ you insensitive clod!
Oh, good. So one of your jobs is real. Good for you! :D
Get a real job.
as a network admin...
I'd buy one with Linux too. Then promptly put a pirate copy of Windows on it. It's the cheaper way to get the same thing.
Didn't know they sold laptops with pirated Windows on them (especially if they cost more than Linux laptops).

That being said, it doesn't fill up with crap because crap writers don't target Linux (yet).
Nonsense, adobe reader, adobe flash and realplayer all have linux versions ;)
Not to mention the slowness Flash player causes in Firefox. At least on my lowly CeleronM-driven laptop.
