but I find it pathetic that people are trying to twist the bible to suit their own agendas and make it more politically acceptable rather than just standing up for what it says.
Better get used to it. People have been doing that probably since it was written. And will do for a long time to come.
I don't know for certain about this in Europe, but in the U.S. common words aren't eligible for trademark.
Tell that to Tim Langdell (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/the-edge-of-reason). He seems to think he has exclusive rights to the word 'Edge'. Sued an indie and got their game off the istore. And is tring to go after EA for Mirrors edge.
It doesn't just apply to Muslims because it is stating the laws that their government should use for everybody under its jurisdiction, believers and non-believers.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the US outside of Pakistans, or indeed any Muslim countries jurisdiction.
if the BBC and others are going to start filtering them, we get the best of both worlds
Except we don't. The players are unable to communicate on the pitch in any way, leading to the worst standard of play. As players cannot be warned when somebody is behind them, they just play safe and hoof the ball up the pitch just in case. The world's top players are being made to look like talentless hacks in dull low-scoring games. This may well go on to be the worst World Cup, and after this the Champions League finals may go on to eclipse the World Cup finals.

Ummm, what? You do realize, no matter how much filtering the BBC does on the noise coming from the stadiums for TV viewing, the sound in the stadium is exactly the same. I can't see how this can affect the players situational awareness or ability to commuicate in anyway. It's not like players of that calibre need a loud obnoxious noise to warn them of an opposing player, they still have eyes and a movable neck..
Or use the EQ on your TV if it has one or the EQ on your Surround sound.
He "discovered" something that most people have known for decades... using a notch filter takes out unwanted frequencies.
Wow! Just think what they could do with that when we discover radio!
P.S.: they were already doing this at the stadium on the crowd mics, they just wanted to leave it in for the "effect" but they already were notching it a little bit to reduce the impact.
I can just imagine the BBC sound techs going. "We can do what with notch filters?" From what I hear though theres alot of other favourable sounds occupying the same kind of range
True, but we're all being a bit pedantic here as clicking start doesn't actually start anything just pops a menu. It's all much of a muchness if it says, start, action or just a pretty picture and to be honest if someone can't figure it out they probably shouldn't really be on a computer in the first place.
who can't work out that they need to press the "Start" button to shut down their computer,
Uh.. logically you'd want a "stop" button for that. The dumbasses in this case would be whoever require you to press "start" to stop. Poor example.
Not really, since clicking start is the start of the procedure for stopping. If They but a nice one click 'stop' button next to start those same dumbasses would complain they accidently turn of their computers or shut down their programs all the time
For all i'm for this ruling, i gotta say the choice of analogy was rather terrible. In the case of lending a book or property, theres still only a single instance of the property in use. In the case of file sharing, the original good is duplicated into two separate instances of equivalent good, hence the "copy" part.
Trying to base a defense on this concept would be blown out of the water by the first person to say "no its more like borrowing a book from the library, copying it verbatim and having the copy bound such that there is little to no difference between either copy of the book".
It's pretty much the exact same concept as the "You wouldn't steal a car" bit they're so fond of.
So whats that equation. downloads x RRP x 4 = lost revenue. Don't think it quite works like that.

"After calculating the total for handheld piracy in Japan with that method, the groups multiplied that number by four to reach the worldwide amount, presuming that Japan makes up 25 percent of the world's software market."

Laptops I guess or ummmm ..... yeah
That sounds sexy enough to work.
The cake is a lie.
Would you prefer Arnie?
And who pays for the energy in that battery? Certainly ain't the state.
You there, take this advert everywhere you go. Keep it powered and let it display whatever we want whenever we want. Yeah, now bend over.

the job of education to show kids the possibilities out there, so they can make informed choices.
Something thats forced isn't really a choice.

Goatse security????? Well I wouldn't use them.
am i the only person that hasn't signed up for facebook?
Nope I haven't either. Maybe we should start a kind of online club or something?
And I'll be in line right behind you.
If the police had guns he wouldn'tve got very far either.
...drugs sends some people schizo yet most manage just fine. I could've told them this for a lot less than this study probably cost.

What are you talking about? It'll be on pay-per-view with the movie adaptation out in six months.
And I just lost the game, now you all have too, sorry about that but you know the rules.
Looks like two birds doing it to me, I wonder how they became extinct
