Tylenol + Codeine only has about 30 mg of codeine. A minimum lethal dose of codeine is at about 800 mg. That means he would have had to swallow almost 30 pills to die. As the GP said, that's a ridiculous way to suicide.
This may be, But it's also not a solution if you REALLY want to play that game with the horrid DRM.
Because your entitled to play the game? Are you going to die if you can't play a DRMed game?
So once again, Pirating gets around that, if the DRM is cracked.
And all you do is cause problems for the rest of us that actually do buy our games by having even worse DRM schemes thrust on us. Some of us don't believe that if we don't get what we want that we just take it anyway.
They seriously need to stop trying to be like America...it's hazardous to their well-being:/
Yeah because Europe has been such a copyright utopia. Oh wait... Everyone complains about the copyright extension act that was passed in the US a few years back but the European one was far more heinous. Unlike the US version, the European one actually revived already-dead copyrights so that they could be extended as well. Oh and you remember the Berne Convention which requires world-wide recognition of copyrights of all signatory parties? Yeah that came out from European countries.
Oh and lest we forget our history about the DMCA. The DMCA was borne out of a treaties signed via WIPO and pushed by European countries. And you know who formed WIPO? Yeah that's right, European countries. So let's not pretend that European countries aren't just as complicit in all this copyright madness as the US is since Europe has been the driving force of much of it.
Why would anyone write something that they didn't feel comfortable putting their (user)name on? To me, that's probably a sign that you shouldn't be writing it*...
Because your real name is "thePowerOfGrayskull", right? Either way, why do you need to know the identity of a poster? Isn't the important thing the quality of their argument not their identity?
The process of scanning the books isn't the problem. The issue is that Google did so without getting permission from many authors of the books. Digitizing someone else's copyrighted work without their permission has never been allowed under any exemption to copyright infringement.
No, the problem is that Google thinks it can just violate the copyrights of people who have contributed to the books they scanned. And even more ridiculous is they think they can set up an opt-out system in order to negate these copyrights.
Imagine the uproar if a GPLed program had its codebase relicensed and did so without the consent of all the copyright holders. Then after getting in trouble, they still continued with the relicensing effort and the only way you could assert your rights was through their opt-out system that any number of copyright holders may not even know about. Do you not see the problem with that?
If Google wants to assert copyrights to the books they scan so they will have to negotiate with the actual copyright holders to all contents of the book they scan. Boohoo.
Yes, because posting the official CPS report, [infowars.com] interviewing the person and quoting another article on the matter is such lousy journalism.
And yet I can't find any such report or any mention of this incident from any public source or the DFPS itself. Rather fishy, no?
So, please explain what is so bad about that article? Or is it that you don't like that website because they cover topics and asks questions which you don't typically agree with?
No, my problem with the website is that Alex Jones is a well-known nutjob who makes things up. Or do you actually believe that whole FEMA death camp nonsense too?
Congratulations on doing exactly what you chastised the poster for; making an assertion and then providing no proof.
What the fuck are you talking about? The sole citation for his claim is a story that has little to no actual facts, such as the names of this couple or the name of the city and county that the incident supposedly happened in, that can be used to verify the incident. Nor can you find any public records to back up the claims in the story. Lastly, Alex Jones has been well-known for making up stories that routinely turn out to be false. I'm not sure what part of anything I've stated is an assertion without proof. My statements come from actually having read the story.
Bravo on being modded insightful for such obvious hypocrisy.

Red Hat Networks Backdoored OpenSSH Packages (CVE-2008-3844) Credit: unknown
Shortly after Black Hat and Defcon last year, Red Hat noticed that not only had someone backdoored the OpenSSH packages that some of their mirrors were distributing, but managed to sign the packages with Red Hat's own private key. Instead of revoking the key and releasing all new packages, they instead just updated the backdoored packages with clean copies, still signed by the same key, and released a shell script to scan for the MD5 checksums of the affected packages. What makes this eligible for the "mass0wnage" award is that nobody is quite sure how many systems were compromised or what other keys and packages the attackers were able to access. With very little public information available, the real casuality was the public's trust in the integrity of Red Hat's packages.
I suggest you make sure to read the bolded part a few times.
As for that story you refer to, I imagine there's more to it than has been revealed. While there may be a troubling aspect to what happened, I am not in the habit of condemning people or organisations - especially government organisations - based on n-th hand reports on the Internet - they tend to have a distorting focus.
The problem is that one can't even verify that the story in the inforwars article that he read is even real because it has no actual data with which one could verify it. It makes claims about a "couple in texas" and that's about as detailed as it gets. Knowing Alex Jones's track record of making shit up out of whole cloth (fema death camps anyone?) one can be pretty confident that this one is made up too. That or it's highly exaggerated.
Democrats have pledged to work with RIAA and MPAA to protect the TV/movie industry's productions.
I hate to break it to you but the RIAA and MPAA also have republicans on their side. You remember that little law called the DMCA? Do you know from which party came the congressman who introduced the bill? The republican party. Do you know the current political affiliation of the current RIAA president? Republican again. If you think the Republicans aren't just as much in the pockets of the RIAA and MPAA you're even more dumb then you come across now.
Mind you, I don't think marijuana should be illegal but it rather changes your story when you discover that the parents were arrested on drug charges before CPS got involved. You shouldn't have left that detail out.
Yeah, but leaving such a detail in would undermine his entire argument.
Well if ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, et cetera are censoring the news by ignoring these stories, then you have to turn to alternate sources.
Do you have any proof that the story you referred to is being censored by those news outlets? Do you have any citation to any public records to show that this incident actually happened? I've read the story both on infowars and prisonplanet and neither of them have any details. They make vague claims about a "couple in texas" that had their kid taken away. Considering these websites long track record of posting bullshit and phoney stories, you'd have to be a nutjob to believe it.
His citation is infowars or prisonplanet or numerous other sites parroting those sites.

Isnt there a statue of limitations in germany?
No, Germany does not have limitations in a statue form. On the other hand, they might have a statute of limitations.

For one thing it can bend light and create gravitational lenses.
Although it might seem strange, these are not the first organisms on earth currently living that do not breath oxygen.
No one is claiming they are.
Fox News is probably conspiring with the Reptilians and the Illuminati to make sure you aren't seeing the story.

Second, a properly configured Linux machine isn't subject to that sort of attack because we use signed packages.
