And why should religion be singled out to be mentioned in the Constitution? Arguably, we should then also put in Communism, National Socialism, etc., as w/o those there wouldn't be an EU - after all, the EC was founded after WW2 so that we wouldn't be fighting our neighbors anymore.
So I say, fuck that, let it be a laicistic document to guide the EU and its citizens, and not something to divide us even more along religious lines.
["Before the vote, critics said the law was flawed as it applied the same penalties to both professional counterfeiters and consumers." But a late amendment limited them to organised counterfeiters and not people downloading music at home."]
This is NOT TRUE, just a spin! Only 3 parts of the directive are limited to "commercial scale", i.e. freezing of bank accounts, getting bank information and trying to get background information on the copying organization. So the stormtroopers can still your house.
Also, it's crappy music to boot (sounds like Rammstein, which was (is? do they still exist?) pretty bad). Pretentious growling and synthie-bashing... I wonder how one of the first posts above can say it's German Rap?
I seem to remember that a similar (or even the same?) plan was mentioned on/. some time ago. Couldn't find the/. article, however, I found a short article on the BBC website:

Well, in the 80's in Germany and Austria (maybe in other countries, too?) a system called BTX (Bildschirmtext, On-Screen Text) was introduced. You could call it an Interner-precursor, comparable to the French stuff (Minitel?).
Hard SF at its best: Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Wellt thought out, and gripping (wel maybe sometimes he does go a little bit overboard when describing Mars)

If putting a bullet in someone's head isn't "interaction" I don't know what is...
Every demo should fake at least part of what is demonstrated!

Well, the same thing was said about chlorofluorocarbons. And now all new fridges etc. are CFC free, and work well (or even better than before).
Trying to protect the environment is never a bad idea, IMHO. Give it some time and the kinks will be worked out.

Call me when they have a people-slicer. No more waiting in queues with my new light sabre (I wonder if the name is taken?)

Great graphics, non-existant plot.

Maybe we'll get the cool cases back
Dad, now about handing me a few hundred dollars to pick up... things... in the city?
Yes Europe is :) The system is called Galileo and you can find more information at the link. Slashdot also had a story.
The first satellites are supposed to be launched in 2004.
well, if I were singing, it would just throw up.
Thank God Damian isn't working on the Apocalypses...

[...]I would be surprised if people still didn't continue to develop Mozilla (even if it's at a slower pace).

Seriously though, it turned out a great piece, and I love Thunderbird. Yeah!
Even slower? Molasses on a cold day comes to mind
