So yes you're missing something, you have a hate-on for Israel. In fact, several european countries have functioning blasphemy laws, and they're being used right now to suppress dissent.
No, they sweep it under the rugs. Police don't file charges, or when they do the crown doesn't want to prosecute. The only thing the UK has taken a semi-standard stand on is kidnap marriages. Maybe you can ask the girl who was lit on fire for back talk in London, and how the police turned a blind eye by not doing evidence collection, and the crown refused to prosecute, because it would incite the muslim population, is doing.
Good stuff. The first thing you do is come out with an attack, maybe you can try doing some looking too. When you figure out that the crown refuses to prosecute, and when the police don't automatically file charges because it will 'inflame the population of areas', you'll have grown up a bit too.
Well the UK turns a blind eye on women abuses in their own country by middle-eastern and northern african immigrants, but a politician makes a crude joke and they're all over it. The UK is doomed.
Funny the last several games that I bought which were on steam cost more than at retail stores. FO:NV being the most recent where steam has a price of $39.99, and B&M stores were $37.27-39.99. That's pretty much the norm around here, and until it changes I'll keep buying at retail.
Oh that's not forgetting that I live in a part of the world where my bandwidth is 'limited' to a piddly amount either. If I bought it through steam it would have cost me another ~$15 on top of the steam price.
Well the other option and it seems to be a growing one is that, if a developer is screwing you over. Just pirate the piss out of their product until it's done then buy it when it's on sale.
Except Bethesda didn't write the engine. That would be EGT(Gamebryo), nice try but you'll be happy to know that they got the engine, and EGT promptly "folded"(aka leaving nothing but marketing staff) leaving them to fix any and all problems on their own.
You'll note that even the biggest busts, e.g. the seizure of 30 tons of cannabis last week in San Diego, seem to have no effect whatsoever on either supply or pricing.
That's because 30 tones of cannabis is nothing. I really mean that, the majority of US pot is grown in Canada and brought directly across the border by runners using the middle-of-nowhere approach. Sure they sometimes get caught, but not as often as people think. Canadian pot growers ship more than that across the US/Cdn border every 2 days.
BC's largest export product is pot. I've heard several times that the largest export product of Canada to the US is now pot. You guys should be figuring out when and at what time you'll be shifting back to a misdemeanor charge(fine) for possession 30g or less.
True story on that. About 2 years ago, one of the WoW forum heads had their session cookie stolen. Much luling was enjoyed by all as they started mass-posting spam, on their forums.
It's my website, and I allow or disallow you to see my content. Just like I allow or disallow people to enter my house. Why should things be different when you are Hulu, NBC or anybody/anything else? Within the bounds of law anybody has a right to discriminate
Because I can bust out the rabbit ears, or get cable or satellite, and see it just fine. There's no relation to 'law', it's just a giant pissing match. In fact, I can get various stuff from the BBC in Canada on TV, but if I try to watch it on the web(exactly the same stuff), it's region blocked.
I have a easier way to pick schools. If they want me to pay for an application, I'll go to their rivals which are just as good and don't require me to do so.
It is illegal just about everywhere, except I think the US. And in Canada it's illegal, and we have tougher copy protection and creation rights than the US.
Dunno. I have ex-screwdrivers that were handed down from my father which could be sharpened after they broke to punches. Today, I've broken more "high-quality" screwdrivers than I can shake my hands at, at least they have lifetime warranties on them. So I don't feel so bad getting a replacement for nothing.
The article is BS, and treads very thinly on what could be described as a town. In Canada places with >500 people but under 10000 are considered towns.
Villages or hamlets are 10-499 people. We have plenty of those further north than anyone else.
Yeah I realize most westerners are lucky with that. However my sister can only get telus in her small blurb of the middle of no where and is on a 60gb cap as well. She's in northern alberta up by one of the prisons where the works. But nearly 50% of our population lives between Windsor and Quebec City, at least the last time I looked. Although Alberta is doing a bang up job in population booms.
Well in Canada, all land is owned by the crown unless it's under a municipality, or claimed in some form. I own the land I'm on, in Ontario. Property taxes are meant to cover the yearly fees for services such as water/sewage/trash pickup/etc. In Ontario, you pay taxes and money for separate services.

Not a big deal, you're trying to make an issue out of a law that's not enforced, but still on the book. Canada has a similar law:
Blasphemous Libel
Offence
296. (1) Every one who publishes a blasphemous libel is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.

Bingo. Fact and law are what make courts go round, if you fudge it you have no one else but yourself to blame.

The firmware.
Considering the unit is cheaper than building your own, or buying one. I'd say this is a good thing.
In China you can hire just about anything you want, as long as you grease the palms of bureaucrats first.
,,,using Bethesda's engine. Nice try, though.

It's a trivial amount. Even the largest drug seizure we've had in Canada ~20tonnes of coke didn't put a dent in anything.
Drugs?

Uh what?
No. I could stab someone 5 times and not kill them, and get a less harsh sentence.
No possibility to sue, put a small levy on blank media. Problem solved, works good pretty much everywhere in the world it's done.

It's easier to work with a half-full measure on life.

That would make the majority of democrats owned by Soros then.
