These people should go to a Islamic college, if they want "clean" education. University/College is not a school, you learn not by teachers holding your hands.
But are Christians and Jews really that different? Yes. A lot of the advancement in the west has been due to religion taking a back seat. Take Einstein, religious but doesn't let it control him. The west still has various religions but the advances were strongest when church and state or at least science and culture were separated.
There is a big difference between the 3 religions. Although all 3 stem from a single one, all three have been influenced by different cultures and their goals. Judaism and Islam are religions of rules and laws, while Christianity is a religion of philosophy mostly influenced by the Greeks. Judaism and Islam were created to cover a need of laws and power of laws, Christianity was a result of "the search for inner peace" in a system where laws were in place. As a result, the religions differ massively on a lot of issues.

If you don't contribute anything valuable to your society - then don't expect anything out of your society. (With the exception of people who are biologically disadvantaged)
It is a "hard labour camp" in the sense that you're required to work there if you want to eat
And the alternative being not getting any unemployment benefits after a set amount of time. I don't know of any country that pays unemployment benefits indefinitely. So, having an option to do 4 hours of public service works p/d for unemployment benefits vs not having any other option - is not in any way a hard labour camp...
Have you ever heard of her before? I mean really. Do you know who was behind the lowering of roaming charges for mobile subscribers?
You really have little knowledge about the actual people that make up the commission. They are a collection of the best officials from different countries.
Not because they could make a tiny amount of money from you, but because everything else, legal issues, tax issues, capital investments, required company resources, opportunity cost from not doing something else instead, even lower prices through increased competition, etc.
Increased competition? Copyright grants an effective monopoly, so please...
Setting up the legal base for global distribution is really something that can easily be done by a simple contract modification. They end up going though those hoops in the end, when they distribute the content to regional broadcasters.
In addition, this has nothing about the possible additional costs of entering a new market vs income, but the idiots at the helm still live with their brains wired to record distribution markets.
PS: And then they cry "Bloody murder!" is I watch my House MD episode off the torrents.
That too... Drug companies use 2 planes of "promotion" advertisements and doctors. When people demand a specific drug, it's advertisements at work. Unless the drug is a generic one.
If you put up the sign using a GPS, then what? And please you shouldn't be missing the funny side of his comment. (remember this is/., noone ever reads the source)
No, shust no!
The retard that said OK to this should be in a mental institution. I already had an app out for Android before they filed for this patent and I was LATE TO THE GAME!
The only reason for the change is that more socially skilled persons have started using computers at an young age, and continued doing so (and even started programming) while still maintaining their social skills. Don't worry - if you were socially awkward before, you're still as uncool as you even were.
One of the reasons is also that geeks in general don't understand good manners. They view down to people with other interests (how many times have you read here on Slashdot some rants about how stupid people are because they don't know everything about computers), go on and on about their own interests (computers, programming, RPG games..) without even thinking if the other side is interested to talk about that. Geeks cannot grasp the concept of being and acting friendly to other people. It doesn't make only you feel awkward - it makes the other side feel awkward too.
Generalizing a bit too much, aren't you? There aren't a lot of geeks that have only one interest. It's the general public's interest in software that has increased -> interest in people that make it increased. At one time building websites was cool, therefore web developers got a boost in interest.
And I wouldn't call that social skills, because most pe
Yes, I find it quite interesting that americans tent to complain about privacy the most, while enacting any laws concerning privacy isn't on their agenda...
And finally I don't see the connection with your last line, nor do I even understand what it means.
Having read the books you don't know what non-consumption means? They are competing against non-consumption in the smartphone and tablet markets. And the tablet and smartphone markets are the areas of disruption for Apple.
What I am saying, from the "front lines", that when Apple ordered those 8mil, the manufacturer ramped up the production within 6 months and added a reserve capacity. Thus when Motorola came on knocking a year later after the first iPad, the manufacturers only had to flip the switch and deliver the goods. That is exactly what they did.

Or laden with such DRM, that if you want to enjoy the game in your remote lodge you are screwed...
I'm more interested how many of them actually own their games and downloaded the cracked version just to escape the horrid DRM...
What? Not all officials are politicians.
Politicians are attempting to ride this anti-copyright wave in order to get more publicity and more votes.
Kroes not a politician.
Private enterprise in Netherlands is not private enterprise anywhere else. In addition, why would she spearhead roaming charges "fix"?
Screw that! We need a proper definition for protection of software. I mean, protection for books and paintings is not adequate for software. PERIOD.
FYI: She isn't there due to the voters. Governments delegate people into the commission.

If you se time as a stream, then you can't even start to comprehend. I move in the 1st probability plane.
It should be illegal for doctors to listen to patients on drug choices and procedure selection.

Yep, people that made a million apps. And all of them soundoards and other shit.
