i dont like the idea of "nanny" government spying on citizens
they cant play the terrorist card like they do US because they would get laughed at (we have terrorists here who don't hide in caves and behave like the mafia)
so they turn around and play "will someone think of the children" card
now i understand that bullying is a big issue in schools, but the parents of the offenders should be punished not all mobile phone users
who (beside teenagers) actually uses GSM or even 3G phones to access webpages here? its just so damn expensive
but yes if this is true (slashdot editors are known to exagerate) then its craziness, and one more stick to beat the government with come next election
as naturalized citizen emigrating from former soviet union many many years ago (cue soviet russia jokes) ill have to disagree on few points
firstly I have great respect for the Garda as most people here do, and yes Ireland is a small country where everyone knows everyone else, and yes i considered joining and they are looking for people who have can speak in several languages
i will also agree that most of the recent eastern europeans are hard working people and have helped this economy along by doing the jobs the irish were "above" doing in recent "boom" times, these are also the people who got the stick fastest in the current downturn
now i will disagree about the language barrier, english is very easy to pick up
also will disagree about the russian mafia. they are not here in ireland, and you have to realise that most people came here from russia to escape that sort of thing and have a family in peace
and to be honest the wouldnt be able to gain any turf as we have our own gangs in dublin who dont hesitate to kill each other, theres a gangland murder on the news practialy every day
also a point about immigrants to ireland that people might find interesting, they have to carry biometric green cards at all times and has to be produced when a Garda says "papers please!", no thats not a joke
anyways I wish to say, congratulations to our friends across the ocean outside my house here in Ireland, a step in the right direction your country took after 8 years of....
i actually cant find a word to describe the disgust at the bush administration and the far right lunatics that took your country and the world on a tangent:(

google are a marketing company they dont have to get it "right" technically, they just have to make it appear that they got it right
does a company with so much cash and resources is unable to release a good browser is beyond me
must be all the bureaucracy or some sort of internal politics
IE does so much harm to microsoft's image, are they just blind in the Death Star to notice the bad will being generated?
