So who is everyone gonna vote for? The USA, like a few other "democracies" (yes UK I'm looking at you), has a system where elections are basically choices between 2 parties (Ignore the "Coalition" crap in Britain currently, the so-called coalition is basically Conservative with LibDem trimmings on the side). In the USA, if you are told you can't vote Rep or Dem, most people just won't vote for anyone. And you'll end up with a Rep or Dem government anyway.
Sweden initially told the USA that TPB weren't actually breaking the law. It was only after much being leaned on and loudly whispered at that Sweden suddenly discovered that, oh my gosh, TPB really were breaking the law after all.
There's a lot of stuff going on under the table between the USA and Sweden.
It's beyond stupid to suggest that Sweden paid Cambodia for TPB admin. Why would they do that? It's not personal. And this is Cambodia we're talking about. There would be no need to pay $40 million to the whole government, just a little to one or two people with connections to immigration office.
OMFG you think this isn't personal?!! I suppose all the Assange-hating isn't personal either.
Manned missions are, and have almost always been, LEO jaunts. Let's start sending people to Mars and see how many of them we kill. And any we miss, HAL can take care of for us.
As should all browsers, right? After all, the web is a seething mess of pr0n and should be legislated out of existence...
And what about all the libraries, book stores and newspaper stands? They're full of filth too. Maybe the best bet is to remove childrens's eyes and ears, then they can't be "corrupted". FFS...
Okay, maybe this'll get me flamed to death for my ignorance: but.ly is the TLD for Libya, right? But bit.ly has been working fine throughout all the trouble, right? So what kind of paltry firewall has Gadaffi been using?
But this isn't evidence that Beas was using her phone at the time of the accident. It shows that Beas used her phone at the same time as the 911 call - which obviously was after the accident.
Updating her Facebook status instead of dialling 911 is a mite cold. But is it illegal?
I think part of the difference is that much of the things that happened with the church were the work of individuals. However, the church entity did try to conceal the abuses.
When a pedophile priest committed his first, undetected sex crimes, he was acting as an individual and the church bore no responsibility.
However, when the church found out what the guy was up to, and instead of calling the police it just moved him to a different location where he could indulge himself with other children, the church (IMHO at least) bore direct responsibility, and the bishops/cardinals/popes involved should be charged with aiding and abetting. What else can you call it when senior clergy knowingly place children into the care of a child molester?
I don't see why not. The internet going down would cause planes to fall from the sky, and (OMG) Facebook and (OMG) Twitter would stop working. So floods would be the least of our problems. Well, the least of your problems - I live on a hill/in a boat/something.
Written works (which obviously includes "confidential documents" are, by international convention, covered by copyright as soon as they are created. No one has to "copyright them" (whatever that's supposed to mean).
This law wouldn't affect the rich much... the wealthy boozer can pay someone else to drive him about. But what about all of the poor boozers? You want to make the poor walk to the pub?
S' not fair. It never is. What did you expect? Shut up and dance!
What is it about tweets and blog posts that makes the cops think they're true? If I tweet that I killed Princess Di will the Paris plod come crashing through my door?
Conversely, if I tweet that I'm not a serial killer, will that keep law enforcement off my back long enough for me to get rid of all the body parts in my freezer?
So do terrorists generally issue bomb warnings over Twitter? I don't think so; the police (in their saner moments) don't think so; and the judge in question probably doesn't even know what Twitter is.
This "cannabis is a gateway drug" crap really annoys me. Go look at somewhere that has decriminalized cannabis and you'll find that the majority of cannabis users have never used an illegal drug.
There is some truth in the fact that some people who use cannabis buy it from dealers who sell other stuff, which the customer might end up buying out of curiosity, because it's there. That adds more weight to the argument for decriminalizing/legalizing cannabis: then the customer would go to a proper shop or bar to buy his cannabis, and there wouldn't be any illegal drugs on offer there.
The same thing about insignificant immediate harm in moderation cannot be said of LSD, Coke, etc. They generally do immediate and serious permanent damage even if only small amounts are consumed.
You clearly know nothing about drugs and should refrain from writing about the subject. In other words: STFU!
When "chip & pin" credit cards and debit cards were introduced in the UK, all the shops had to install machines so the customer can swipe his card through it then input his PIN. Soon after, criminals devised ways to grab card details and PINs from the machines, and use these details to make up forged cards. So you'd go to the local store to buy your cigarettes or washing powder, pay with your card, then a few days later your card would be maxed out by somebody somewhere else. A lot of people have had to go to a lot of trouble to prove that the details were stolen and the person hadn't used the card himself.
They have to plan their operation first. If you just blow yourself up to make a point, you're not considered a martyr, just an idiot. Killing himself is not the point of the "suicide bomber".
People often say how cool it will be when all the boring jobs are automated and we can spend our time doing something more interesting.
Unfortunately, we all need to eat, pay rent, etc. Until the money system is abandoned, Auomated Utopia is on hold.

Sorry, that should have been "yes Britain I'm looking at you."

If they remove the organs first, what's the point of the lethal injection? The subject isn't going to survive too long sans heart, eyes, liver...
What's that "looks like a little ghost" mean? Does it wear a white sheet with eye-holes? Or is it a horrific creature a la Hellraiser?

Shouldn't that be "doctorevilthebrain"?
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!
Anyway in the end we flushed her baggy
Is "flushed" the expression drug fiends use nowadays? We used to say "snorted"...
You're right that someone should take a case like this to trial. But I don't think the OP is the guy to do it.
Maybe he figured they wouldn't look at the Windows Phone market place. I mean come on, who looks at the Windows Phone market place?
