"If you can prove you are really an astronomer you can have a permit. A constable will visit your residence to check you have telescopes and other necessary equipment, and you may be asked to prove you know how to use it."
Something like that.
My parents' generation had a booming economy, lots of jobs cheap fuel (well, except for that 70s thing) and a good standard of living. Mine is poor and treated like terrorists. What a fun life is ahead of me.
Agreed, though it comes down to the whole "Do guns kill people?" question. CIQ are no more culpable than Remington or Colt. Personally I am of the opinion people kill people, so blaming CIQ directly is erroneous.
Thanks:) IIRC NoScript on her machine is pretty unforgiving as I recall, but I will look into exactly what it is set to. I will take a look at the other plugins you mention, thanks for your help:)
Naturally, I am the "sysadmin" at my house (that is, my house with my partner and myself). I've got her set up with FF (running ABP and NoScript) in Win7 and Avast. She is more tech-savvy than the average "user" but I like to be on the safe side. Should I get her on to Chromium instead?
Problem is, nicotine are in and our of your system relatively quick. THC stays in the body much longer, with varying effect. Some people report "flashback" highs, days or weeks later after using the drug. Also, if suspected of DUI, a test could reveal positive for THC even if the person has not used it recently.
I think a shooting game in which one has to choose who to shoot (which seems to be the main thing they are complaining about -- indiscriminate killing of non-combatants and prisoners of war) would tend to be a better game than one in which you shoot everything that moves and most things that don't,and the overhead of having to deal with prisoners of war might make for an interesting game dynamic, but I don't see those as matters for legislation
Actually, parts of MW2 had this; I recall the Brazil level particularly which is a frantic run through shanty towns, and it is hard to tell who is a combatant and who is not, as they all rush at you sometimes. If you hit any civilians the game ends, with a warning saying not to shoot civilians.
Seconded. That sounds fucking horrible. All developers look things up from time to time. Nobody is expected to just code from memory, today's languages are far too complicated, especially considering most developers are expected to be proficient in more than one language.
I have heard this too, even in conjunction with ladyboy hookers. It is strange, considering Thailand is generally a very conservative country, that having your son "become" a ladyboy, is not a thing of shame but rather it brings honour to the family.

Not if you're an infidel.

I always sang it as "like a boner in the night".

You learned that from Google? You're late to the party, pal! ;)

Thank you very much :)

I am not misinformed, because it happened to me. Can't beat a first hand account.
Ugh, that should say "alcohol and nicotine".

Could have just given the rats the Voight-Kampff test.
I have. Additionally, the Daily Heil
The funniest jokes are the ones that are sad when thought about seriously.
I was not aware of that, but after some googling it would appear you are correct. Here is a story, with sources listed
Well then, it is only the "characters" in video games that do, too. I am just the player, not the character.

Daily Mail articles have an implied disclaimer in the minds of most rational people ;)
I see your point, but you don't see Russia whinging about their portrayal in modern war games.
No, but the actors do. Which means Arnie has a lot of crimes to answer for.
It would stop noobtubers and all those dicks using anti tank rockets on people.

Oh damn. A for effort digging that out. I was just making a joke but reading through that it makes sense.
