The summary is typically misleading. She was not arrested for refusing to let her children be scanned. She was arrested for making a disturbance. Disturbing the peace, they call it.
Yeah she was making a disturbance cause she didn't want her child being touched by some stranger, it's a bit hard not to make a disturbance when doing that.
The trouble is, they really, really need to find a better way to screen, and they need to understand that paying low wage workers to do the screening isn't helping. They need employees who actually care and are fairly intelligent people, and they need enough of them to offset the grueling nature of the job.
Problem with that is most intelligent people realise you do not need to pat down every. single. person. who comes through an air port...
Is everyone enjoying their freedom? You know that choice you have which you really don't...
I bet the bug I reported still isn't fixed...

Set a wallpaper with Opera in Windows go to your pictures folder and observed unstandard bmp files that do not show up right with Windows Picture Viewier. Never fixed forever...
Internet Guru says to fix problems with the net add more pipes, let me rephrase that Internet Guru says fix problems with the net by adding capacity like ISPs should've the WHOLE DAMN TIME. ISPs should've been investing some of the money they get/ extort (and yes I say extort with some of the ISP horror stories I've heard) in actually upping their capacity. It's sad that they dare to complain when people actually use the service they pay for, shock horror.
I call bullshit until I see some actual devolpments. From the article: "LulzSec, in typical style, has laughed off the effort; and said the exposed details were pulled from low-level chat rooms used to recruit sub-crews, or "grunts". LulzSec operators remain free and anonymous, the group said, operating from "cells" in the UK. One tracker in contact with SC Australia refused to provide the names of the suspected LulzSec crew, fearing the group would scatter and "burn the evidence"."
Dear retarded goverments please stop wasting more resources on hunting down people who cost corporations money and put it into, I don't know, maybe hospitals, schools, scientific research. You know, things that actually matter...
Which part of the article you linked to said "Weill actively be looking for pirates on torrent sites"? All I see relating to the web in the article you linked to is this:
"This does not mean, however, that we support piracy or think it is ok to share our games freely over the web. We still believe people should pay for the games they play. After all, this is what keeps this industry running."
There's nothing I can find about pursuing pirates online, unless I am missing something? After reading the article I feel like buying the game, is it good? Going to watch some trailers in a bit.
Java is a horrible piece of crap when updating. I've been running it on Vista and now Windows 7 for ages and the auto update NEVER WORKS. I have to manually update every time. It's really squarely Java's fault. Also if anyone happens to know how to fix it I always get "Failed to download required installation files.". I've had no luck in trying to find the cause of it.
Yes they do, unfortunately they also have 99% of the malware writers targeting them and 99% of their users clicking any shiny thing that pops up in their face.
Least Mozilla actually tell you when something like this happens, I can't count how many times in the past I've heard of credentials going missing and hearing it from a news site and NOT the company. We can still scold them for not being careful but at least they tell us, Mozzila 3.
Agreed, you do not simply get worms by plugging a windows box on the Internet, anything pre Windows XP SP2 you can definitly say you would but not anymore.
Three games being the majority of all games.. My wife still has to use a Virtual Machine in Linux to play all the games we want to and when I tried the Linux switch about 60% of my games worked in Wine, there's also countless MMORPGs that just do not work on wine or a VM. Sorry but Linux is no where close for gaming.
Speaking of Firefox bugs that should've been fixed ages ago but never have. There's my all time favorite bug: Bug 105843 - Cache lost if Mozilla crashes (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105843). This bug basically says it all it is 9 YEARS old. So for well probably since Firefox has been made it has never cached anything right. Never set that browser cache too high one crash and it's all gone. I can't even begin to imagine how much extra data Firefox needs to download over other browsers. It's also why Firefox seems to chug so much after it crashes when you have 20 tabs open and the thing crashes.
Like the OP I find it really ridiculous they can't get the basics right yet we seem to get GPU accelration, it's just pathetic.
This is a terrible idea really and reading through most of the comments I haven't seen anyone mention it. What if you release bootable CD and 3 months or even a year later, there's some vunrablity in the software on that CD? Update it? Um nope? Have fun issuing a whole bunch of new CDs when you find a problem with it. Cause we really need to throw more stuff in the garbage dump?

It's never like laws can be wrong or unfair to people, they're prefect the first time around and are always what's best for people, right?

I'm not worried per say but looking at your 0.32W then I imagine all the people with cell phones and yeah.
Quick lets look up how much things are killing us rather than getting rid of them.....

Actually there's a registry change to make it so you can upload to other servers I asked recently in the starcraft forums.
Wow they put the battery at the bottom, that is a real lengthy procedure to replace a battery...

Thank god faster and looks good, nice work guys.

Ran it on XP 32bit Vista 64bit and now Windows 7 64bit, worked on all of them.

I don't know when s/he last used it but I am using it right now (version 2.6.6) and it still does all of what Feyr said ~~
