I expect all Slashdot verbally abusing this guy for being a neocon and an enemy of freedom and a paranoid lunatic but the fact is this guy actually got threatened. This means that somebody has tried to intimidate him and state that he will hurt him/his family. Since no biker gangs have done this but a gamer did(you can never tell how dangerous these people are) he is absolutely right that gamers are scarier to him than biker gangs.
Then comes the internet and blows this totally out proportion and saying that this guy thinks that gamers are generally more dangerous than bikers in order to discredit him. I find that incredibly lame and it reeks of an attack campaign against the Australian Attorney General.
Good job loser(s), you just ruined your credibility. In the meantime this guy has got some arrows on his bow to fire at gamers. Congratulations again, you just helped your opponent by giving him media attention.
"The NFL Saints can trademark a specific design - like gold, with black and white borders but they can't trademark the fleur-de-lis itself."
Guess what, these fleur-de-lis are almost always following heraldic conventions. That means that only certain combinations are possible. For example: Yellow(gold) on blue or red on white but never yellow on white. Due to the limited amount of heraldic colours there are basically a number of permutations you can have with a fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the kingdom of France, on a field. Therefore the creative input can be stated as almost minimal(all the thinking has been done for them) and it should not qualify as an enforcable creative product.
One RPG would get Sea Sheperd a quick mark as a terrorist organisation and would totally destroy the organisation and the legitimacy of the organisation and by extension anti-whaling operations.
It would also give whalers the argument that anti-whalers are terrorists and would only help them.
"Otherwise you'll not be utilising the future-thinking operational motivators of time-shift market deployments, and that can seriously anti-creationalise your interstabularistic practicalularisation performocarbunkle cheesewozzles."
That's hardly a strange name. Not if you know that the Dutch have a seperate "vowel" which is i and j combined (ij) and sounds almost the same as "y" in "why". Do the Dutch word dijk becomes the English word "dyke". The word "afsluit" is equivalent to the English words "close down". In essence it means "a dyke that closes down" and it's a reference to the sea inlet called the Zuidersea (or South Sea) and turned into a lake. Yes, the South Sea was originally the other connected to the "North Sea" until we pacified its rough waters. It's a source of engineering pride for us.
Well, there is no fixed start date of World War II only fixed dates of the smaller wars inside the total conflict. It's true that France and the UK declared war on Germany when they invaded Poland but by the media of the time it was referred to as a ghost war or a phony war(the french called it a joke of a war). Ofcourse that all changed when Germany initiated "Fall Gelb" and attacked the Benelux in order to properly invade France.
The war activity went full force from that moment on. When the US bombed pearl harbour you could say that the glocal fighting activity had reached its peak. Most of WWII was over when Germany declared an (forced) unconditional surrender. The conflict then was between Japan and the US, the UK(India and other colonies), the Netherlands(Indonesia) and later on Russia(which made a deal to attack Japan 3 months after the surrender of Germany). War ended 3 days after the invasion by Russia I believe when Japan surrendered after the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
"Plus metric measurements are generally too small (cm) or too big (m) to be practical for day to day uses."
Furthermore imperial measurements are generally too large (inch) or too small (yard) to be practical for day to day users. The fact that the mile exists also creates confusion because every old nations used to have it's own "mile" which either a lot bigger or a lot smaller than the English "mile".
Also multiplication by a number that is not equal to the numberbase(10) is annoying to use.

On hand hand this is malignant censorship, the forebode to a society with no free information. On the other hand, this is 4chan.....

Yeah, imagine that the Sun would output harmful radiation. Wouldn't THAT be stupid.

"blowing up an entire country and then paying to rebuild it."
The banking sector blew itself up by sheer systemic incompetence and Obama bailed them out so he is effectively paying to rebuild the system.

Nonsense, irregardless is a perfectly cromulent word.

Out of the top of my head
1000mm=100cm=100dm=1m=0,1Dm=0,01hm=0,001km=0,000001Mm
Try to do that with the imperial system which randomly swaps between 6,2,12 and whatever they feel like.
