Except, he has been convicted in court. It has of course gone to the higher level in court, but he is currently under a court order to pay a lot of money for his crimes.
Not what it says at all.
It says that there are reasons why the kids are bullied, here are some of the things which makes kids bullied (and it doesn't try to blame the superficial things like names or glasses, I've been bullied by persons with both of those, actually) and how they can avoid the,.
This is excellent since if parents read it they can understand why and try to break the cycle by learning the kid to interact normally.
Or, in another way.
A: Yes, the kids who are bullying him is the problem and the ones who are assholes.
B: Yes, it's his fault, but not due to a choice he makes but due to a lack of social skills which gets even less practiced since he's left out.
So, either you can try to beat down on A, which doesn't actually help B adapt to groups, or you can empower B so that he can learn something which he will need throughout his life, to interact with people in a way that is beneficial to himself.
Big difference, being bullied is the direct consequence of being different in some way, it's pack behavior to pick on the weakest link to solidify the strong links (this is strictly social speaking).
Being raped is the consequence of attracting an asshole.
Not that even if bullies seem like assholes, they are in 99% of all cases just weak people who can't say no to what is expected of them by the mob, if they go against the mob they themselves can turn into targets.
So, my point is that of course it's the bullies who are at fault, however, understanding the mechanisms behind it can actually help, as long as people feel like bullying someone, they will find socially acceptable ways to make those people feel bad, thus, the only way to fix the issue is to help the bullied people getting empowered and learning not to be bullied.
While that sounds very good and true (and it is, I used it myself), the main problem isn't when there is this one guy picking on you. The problem is (and this is the usal situation in sweden) when there is more than one you have to go against. I've been up against 15 people myself, and believe me when I say that socking one in the face doesn't help at ALL in that situation.
I've never gotten this whole "One person bullying loads of people" that seems so prevalent in media, peer pressure and isolating individuals and silent consent in bullying has always been what has been the issue to me.
The only thing hours played tells you is how much time you've sat in front of the game.
This would, for instance, make EVE in every way a better game then, say Trine. I however like Trine much more than I like Eve.
We live in a society where you can have fun pretty much 24/7, except for when doing dishes or when I work, I don't get bored. I've got weeks worth of sci-fi shows to watch, almost an eternal amount of gameplay from different games. So, a game which makes me play it for hours upon hours isn't necessarily good, it's just time consuming.
So, I'd rather have really fun for a couple of hours than I'd have an eternal kind off ok game, it's just simply more meaningful.
Of course, there are exceptions like Alpha Centauri which is awesomely fun and very time-consuming, those are the ones which I place on piedestals as masterpieces. Starcraft would be another such game, as would Baldur's Gate 1+2.
So, no, time-consuming does in no way mean that it's worth more, not unless you have endless of hours to waste and need stuff to do. Also, social games are kinda strange since you pay to spend time with people, which you could quite easily do for free.
It was an XP theme with a taskbar at the bottom and. That's not impressive, they hadn't worked out the icons to look the same for instance.
So, well, not impressed. But, yeah, sure, grandma and grandpa won't notice that it's not windows until they try to do anything out of the ordinary.
Also, it's never good enough to be almost as good, not even good enough to be as good. You have to be better. Therefore, this is a typically bad idea for linux in general, especially since it tells us "We can't do better than microsofts almost decade old OS".
The reason is simple.
Star Wars is not, has never been and will never be science fiction.
It's an epic space saga.
Science fiction is all about understanding the implications of new technology and situations are supposed to make sense and everything is supposed to be able to be understood or have an easily obtainable explanation.
An epic space saga is meant to tell an epic story, anything not being a part of the story is irrelevant, you aren't supposed to look behind the curtain, you are supposed to see the wizard.
I like both genres, but I loathe it when they intermix since it's like my little pony coming and resurrecting Brad Pitts wife in the end of Seven.
It breaks the mood.
I can't see why a movie that seemed to be fun, that a whole lot of people already had a huge emotional investment (for a movie in) which contains elements to make kids want to see it several times (it's mostly kids who want to go several times to the cinema to see the same movie) couldn't be successful without being a decent move.
The movie is horribly poorly written, directed, it has no real characterization, it makes little sense if you do try to make sense of it and it has a bunch of other problems as well.
So, no, a movie isn't redeemed since it made a lot of money, however, the reason it's so universally reviled is JUST BECAUSE you know that that piece of crap made more money than so many jewels. If it had failed abysmally, no-one would've cared, now, it's the highest grossing SW movie and is also easily the worst of them.
That's what's wrong with todays movie industry, the hype is what makes the movie successful in the only thing which is important to the managers, their income.
Oh god.
How stupid of them.
They just illustrated that they do take responsibility for the entire content of the web.
Congratulations Google, you just lost a lot of credibility on the internet for me.
Anyone know of a search engine which doesn't censor such things?
It seems from several sites that you in fact get these expansions, on launch date if you download the game instead of buying the CD version.
Otoh, the downloaded version is decidedly more expensive.
I pay about 9 bucks for unlimited 100/100 with a static IP.
The wondes of collective deals.
Also, Bredbandsbolaget has a cap of 100 GB a month these days and several have hidden caps.
Nope. I pay 65 SEK (about eight dollars) in actual fee plus 69 SEK due to the extra fee imposed to pay for the installation.
I've never hit any cap, and I've downloaded (note, downloaded, and I always seed at least 1:1, often 1:2 and sometimes much more) 500 GB in one month, also, I run a server which gets loads of traffic from friends.
Granted, we are 350 apartments or so sharing 1 Gb/s dedicated, but that is quite enough actually (might not be if all of us where hardcore pirates of course).
That has never been the only argument, just one of many.
And one of the few which is fully legitimate.
Another one which is quite as legitimate is artificial limitations of a market, meaning a lack of access to a finished product. Granted, this wasn't what happened here, but a lot of people might see it as such "Why shouldn't I get to play the games which other people can?".
It's even less then that actually. PP only cares about it's two core issues (integrity and lessening patents/copyright), it's third core principle is "nothing else".
They whole point is that the other parties are too alike, this is the one party who actually says something different (barring the other up-comer, which is a racist party, literally), the differences are too minor to care about. So, they will give full support to whatever constellation of parties agree to make the most concessions to them.

The court room was kinda farcical though.

The wife can leave.
The kid can't.
So, no, you're wrong, the kid HAS to learn to adapt to circumstances.

Without a doubt an admirable goal.
However, not exactly close.
While I'm glad and all that they are so called flourishing in the recession, they are getting 194 million in revenue.
That's a pittance in corporate america.
Even if it wasn't gross income, it wouldn't be that impressive.
Also, people seeking a cheaper option in a recession?
Have we ever heard that before?
At the screenshots.

Command+I Open with (choose VLC) Change all Done. There are several other ways as well, but that's the one I use.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
I heard you where still wearing diapers!

I pay about 9 bucks for unlimited 100/100 with a static IP. The wondes of collective deals. Also, Bredbandsbolaget has a cap of 100 GB a month these days and several have hidden caps.
Then it should be stored redundantly in several locations, online and off-line and should be checked at several points.
An actual time-box is not a good idea at all since all tech has a risk of going bad even if not used.
Actual netbooks will come. All current netbooks are small laptops, this is something else which is better.
Also, he's working for Microsoft.
Talk about lousy rewards.
What you are saying is that you want to see Microsoft Firefox being the name for IE.
Is that really a good idea?
Nope.
I pay 65 SEK (about eight dollars) in actual fee plus 69 SEK due to the extra fee imposed to pay for the installation.
I've never hit any cap, and I've downloaded (note, downloaded, and I always seed at least 1:1, often 1:2 and sometimes much more) 500 GB in one month, also, I run a server which gets loads of traffic from friends.

Actually, it's not that weird that people want to try a game at the earliest possible moment.
The problem here was that the game was leaked.
A leaked copy will naturally spread, people are interested in new games they can't get their hands on.
The sad part is that some will se this as proof that DRM is necessary, nevermind the fact that this would've happened even if they had DRM.
It's even less then that actually.
PP only cares about it's two core issues (integrity and lessening patents/copyright), it's third core principle is "nothing else".

They use dynamic IP-addresses and do not refresh them unless there's good reason.
You can choose to renew your IP address any time you choose though.
It's a really neat system and I really hope the data storage directive fails and that I can switch to them.
Cause they are awesome.
