The populace are scared of us! They think we're freaks! We understand technology, and the small idiosyncrasies and shortfalls of the scheme, and we explain them in mind-numbing detail!
All we get are black stares, and the odd drooling, verbatim quote of "The National ID card will fight terrorism, protect our children from pedophiles, and protect British jobs!"
So you think it's acceptable to copy plaintext quotation marks into a textbox which correctly identifies the characters, only to have them butchered into unicode garbage by some poorly written parser?
Pull the other one, chum. It's just really sloppy, lazy work.
âoeItâ(TM)s MY crap, and I work long and hard choosing the products to eat to make it high yield fertiliser.â
âoeIt wouldâ(TM)ve got sent to the bloody sewer system anyway,â the Boss replies.
âoeIf I so choose to release my products to the public domain, so be it. However, if you take something which is mine, which I created, and give it to another â" well thatâ(TM)s theft!â
âoeYeah, sure,â the Boss snaps wearily.

I don't think I articulated my point as well as I could... I consider WoW to be my version of reading a book, or watching a TV program. It passes time. It is a distraction from work.
Imagine reading "Magician" by Raymond E. Feist where you have to read about every single time Pug had to eat a dinner, sleep for a night, killed every monster and in which way, often the identical way as the last as it was the most efficient method of defeating that monster. That is the lower levels of WoW to me; A book with every spell cast, every road walked, every conversation had outlined in painstaking and monotonous detail.
I would buy gold because I don't want to spend months doing the same thing over and over again just to get to the interesting parts of the game. I've done that once before, with both factions. Several times, on several realms. DKs make it less painful, but I still have 55 - 70 to do. AGAIN.
The more apps you are running, the more CPU you require
iPhone is not capable of multi-tasking. Only one application is running at any time; The rest are "hibernated" so they (mostly) wake to the state they were last in when you load them again.
It's one of, if not the, biggest issues with the iPhone OS in my opinion.
Quite a poignant quote, really, even if unintentional. The song is about the lack of empathy regarding the suffering of others, as long as there's a spectacle involved. Car bombs, animal cruelty, whatever.
You killed it with your next sentence, though. Personally, I don't want to harm others just because it would infuriate someone I disagree with. That's what the Taliban are all about with their kidnappings and terrist campaigns.
Probably going to be modded down for being a "Pseudo-intellectual, Philosophy-101, know-it-all, holier-than-thou, I-understand-the-suffering Tool fan, but hey; If the shoe fits... I like Tool, their messages, and their imagery. It's vivid, insightful, and poignant, even if a little "Here, let me spoon feed you some morality."
I achieve in real life. I make money to pay for my hobbies.
To me paying for gold so I can buy some really nice item is basically just turning that item into nothing more than a reflection of the size of my real-world disposable income.
So, you don't think investing money in a hobby is worth while?
And you're assuming that the only resource required would be ammunition.
I know all these big hunters will be a formidable force, but only until the government shut off the national grid, telecoms, start broadcasting white noise on HAM frequencies, shut off water and sanitation, and the general population are dropped into the stoneage in less time than it takes the president to press a button.
How long do you think you could feed yourself without your local 7-11 stocking twinkies and pepsi?
No, the US legal system in general lost the last of its integrity when it didn't laugh heartily at the jurors when they awarded $1.92m in punitive damages against a single mum for having 24 music files in a shared folder on her computer.

There seriously are people that dumb
You have forgotten the first rule.
Even the right wing Daily Mail newspaper has taken to refering to "Jack Boots Jaqui"... our former Home Secretary with a CCTV obsession.
She resigned last month. New, same as old etc etc.
No problem. We're geeks, and probably have the tools to muck about with our skin-embedded RFID chips.

It's just a shame that the BNP had to be a part of it.
I once asked a BNP member (Red-Tie meeting in my local pub) what he thought of Polish immigrants. He didn't even know they could work here legally.
Poor ickle Labour rolled over before the next general election on a main selling point of the other two main parties.
What's betting that as soon as the sheeple have picked up on this they cry for Labour to stay, and the whole scheme comes back in 18 months?
Are you fucking kidding me?

Try reading this post on CNET I've not read it, but it seems to be relevant.

You should probably read The Silmarillion

No way, man. Far too dangerous.
