I'm damn glad I didn't say anything about bucks, hunting season, or road kill then. Thanks for explaining it, the title really could have been worded better.
I know Jack Christie IS taking responsibility and if you had half a brain cell in your head you would look one post up from mine to see what I was actually responding to.
I know this is Slashdot and I know it's probably useless to point this out but next time take two seconds and look at the f%#*ing context of the post before you open your pie hole.
It's mouth breathing, knuckle dragging ACs like you that drag down the average intelligence of the planet.
What a bunch of namby pamby, let them all be children forever crap. It's not like this point sneaks up on them. They know it's coming and they know what's expected of them after that day.
At some point they have to grow up and take responsibility for their actions. For most countries it's 18 years old. Suck it up and grow a pair.
At least there are several countries between the U.S. and South America and the Panama Canal does divide the continents but Canada and U.S. actually share a border. Apparently it's a liquid border according to the GP.
When 1-3 were made, I assume that if anyone other than George made any kind of suggestion on what should be done they would be laughed off the set by George and his cronies.
Laughed off the set? I imagine they were escorted off the set and placed in a garbage smasher on the detention level.
You may be unaware that the website, while hosted in the U.S., was operated by him from an IP address inside Thailand. So, if true, he did violate Thai law on Thai soil.
Even if he wasn't in Thailand at the time, there is still the case of Julian Assange vs The U.S. You can bet if he set foot in the U.S. that he would be locked up for violating a U.S. law while outside the country.
There are also the various cases of sex tourists that can be charged with statutory rape in their own country for sex with minors while travelling abroad.
There are also the Somali pirates that have been charged and sentenced in a number of jurisdictions for crimes committed in international waters.
So there are many precedents for being arrested even though the crime in question was committed while outside the jurisdiction.
And if that's not enough, IT'S THEIR COUNTRY. They can do whatever they want with you inside their borders. Don't like it. Don't go there. But this guy was living in the country, as a Thai/U.S. dual citizen, violating the law and then tried to hide behind the U.S. citizenship because his Thai citizenship was now "inconvenient".
Even though he was a naturalized American he certainly picked up the attitude of that arrogant minority of U.S. citizens that believe that the U.S. constitution is a suit of armour that supersedes the laws of the country they are in.
FYI, I'm not defending this law because more often than not it's used to silence political critics rather than defend the monarchy but this guy knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
The accused was born and grew up in Thailand so yeah, he did know what he was doing. And he didn't just link to a book, he also translated an article that violated the law.
Agree with the law or not but it's their law and once you are in their country they can enforce it any way they want. He should have known better than to go back. Just like Julian Assange knows better than to go to the U.S.
I'm like you. I think the only time since F8 that I reinstalled was when I switched from i686 to x86_64.
Although, I did give the CD upgrade a shot, after backing up of course. The install had an embolism part way through and left me with an unbootable system. I knew it wouldn't work but I just had to see what it would do.
I don't know for sure how long but I do know that the age of consent for sex workers has been explicitly defined as 18 since the late 1980's when a law was passed clarifying the age of consent/prostitution laws. This was part of the constitutional free-for-all created by the passing of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section of the Constitution Act 1982.
I think you're confusing age of consent and age of majority. In Canada, the age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years, prior to 2008 it was 14. The age of consent for sex workers is 18. Sex workers under the age of 18 in Canada are by definition child prostitutes. Canada also enforces the 18 year age of consent for sex workers on it's citizens when they travel abroad.
The age of majority refers to the age at which people become adults in the eyes of the law (voting, signing contracts, etc) and has nothing to do with sexual activity.
In Thailand, the age of consent is 15 for non sex workers and 18 for sex workers. Although prostitution is quite accepted in Thailand, child prostitution is not.
- Two free games - A free dinner at a fine restaurant with a female Sony representative (hey, can't get a date, so might just go for it!) - A nice big mansion - My own yacht - A Thai ladyboy for some fun
You want a mansion AND a yacht? Who do think you are, Elmer J. Fudd?
Obviously the risk of identity theft is the main concern with the Sony breach. But for anyone who's life has been most severely impacted by the inability to access the PSN for a few weeks then it's a clear sign from whatever deity you worship that you need to go AFK.
Read a book, go for a walk (after changing out of your pyjamas of course), talk to another human being face to face instead of through a headset.
I was at a witch doctor's^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Chiropractic conference and I heard that excessive internet spamming can cause vertebral subluxations.
These places was were I also learned the correct size of development team: The number that can fit into one car to go to lunch. Any more than that then there is two teams (or more) and different directions the development model went. The reason was the conversation was broken who traveled with whom.
I think you're right. Although I can see three things that could make a dent in Facebook:
1. Someone with big money that has a new take on the problem and gets it to market way ahead of Facebook. Someone like Google is big enough that they could take a run at Facebook if they wanted to.
2. An open platform (perhaps Diaspora or something like it) where people can be assured of some control over their personal information and privacy. This would tap into a new market of those who have been wary of Facebook in the past and appeal to existing Facebook users who are also concerned about privacy but grudging joined so they wouldn't be "left out".
3. Facebook fatigue and platform inertia. Facebook is as much a fad as Geocities and Myspace before them. Unless they are constantly innovating and evolving their ecosystem a new player/fad can pop up and dethrone them. And the more mature the Facebook platform becomes the more difficult it is to keep the platform evolving at the same pace. Sooner or later someone comes along that is more agile and flies right past you because they don't have the same baggage to contend with.

Hunting season?
Rabbit season! Duck season! FIRE!!!

The answer is to go off shore for FX. Either Canada, or even South America.
Since when has Canada been "off shore" of the U.S.?

I hear Darl McBride is looking for a job.

Forget about the alleged security breach, I'd have arrested him for that haircut.
You forgot Crocodile Dundee references.
And they're high in cholesterol.
Yeah, let's blame the victim and not the douchbag that ripped them off.
Brilliantly cynical. I like it.

Gee, the thing that gets around intentional blocking also gets around accidental blocking? I'm shocked!
Hey, hey, hey. No fair bringing logic into this.
What I want from Sony:
- Two free games
- A free dinner at a fine restaurant with a female Sony representative (hey, can't get a date, so might just go for it!)
- A nice big mansion
- My own yacht
- A Thai ladyboy for some fun
You want a mansion AND a yacht? Who do think you are, Elmer J. Fudd?
What's with all the door analogies? This is Slashdot. It's supposed to be a car analogy. Fine, I'll do it myself.
It's like locking a convertible when the top is down.
Yeah, every time I go to the beach people laugh at my inverted diphthong.

But I drive a scooter.
