Also, given that communism isn't a form of goverment but a form of economy, what does it matter? India is a democratic communism. All this US dogma has seeped into everyone.
Is this what our tax dollars are paying for? What about the war on terror that we've already lost, or the war on drugs that we can never win? Are we going to make a new department, maybe the Federal Bureau of Copyright Infringement? This is idiotic and we can't just sit back and watch the goverment work for big business...
Can you prove that stuff doesn't exist and that the government is great and noble? No? Then your assumption is just as asinine as the parent's. Please don't fight ignorance with ignorance, it's so petty.
No kidding, and given the fact that he didn't even brake! Who knows, maybe he swerved. This is Montreal after all. That sounds more like it should be manslaughter but then again IANACL.
So would they mind if you brought a massive flashlight with you? That way when the fools with the night vision are peeping around, just turn on the flashlight quickly and listen for the scream. Although, if they had metal detectors, that would foil my evil plan.

I'm surprised you guys never went after them for using the stick figures that were originated 10 years earlier. That woulda been funny. Send them a C&D letter back.
I usually don't respond to AC's but this was modded insightful?
I would rather have everyone looked after than lose my entire family in some idiotic car accident because "you are an asshat talking on your cell phone". If i'm endangering someone else, i should be told what the hell i'm doing and it should be fixed. Trust isn't just given, it's earned. Hence you have to pass a test to drive. Even though people still can't drive but whatever.
I just think that's an ignorant post. If technology can save lives, let it. I'd rather live and be bothered than watch my wife and little girl smoulder in the burning metal of a vehicle.
That has to be the first time i've seen anyone post anything about Wumpscut. They gotta be one of my fave bands. Or "He has to be fave band", whatever. Bravo... glad to see i'm not alone in my enjoyment of german industrial. Das Ich isn't bad either. Verflucht Bis Ihr Verhungert!
They could just use something like RFID in cars. If you approach a 60MPH speed sign, then your car is told to go no faster than 60mph? Something like that. Why can cars go over 100mph if the maximum speed limit is around maybe 75mph? Then we can have cars that drive for us and we can sit back and drink, yet not drive. woo!
But I was trying to make a sad little joke with the cows and India...ha ha ho ho. Plus, because he's IN the Netherlands doesn't mean he's FROM the Netherlands.
btw, i just love the way tou compare people to cattle. Very funny and so true nowadays. Kinda looks like you're saying that cows are better than people, you woulnd't be from India huh?
That's what i was going to ask. Windows does not instantly imply Microsoft. To me, windows are used to look out of. Although there are similarities which are pretty funny. Windows are fragile and break easily. I guess the software is aptly named but i can't see how they can use windows as a trademark without the microsoft. IANAL but i was always curious about that.
Could this set a precedent with the RIAA hitting up other countries now? I wouldn't expect AU to give in to them. All I can say is that it's not surprising. When will they realise that this will not save their failing business model.
Now how hard is that to understand? I just don't get the Creationist point of view. It's all about adaptation. You evolve because you need to adapt. Some magical bearded humanoid in the clouds doesn't just say "CHANGE!" and voila we have a different kind of being. It's just silly.
I'm sorry but the Gov't seems to take more of my money down here than it did in Canada. At least I was getting something back up there. Down here all i get are new laws that restrict what you do. More taxes, higher prices, more stress, less jobs. WTF, this is not the country i moved to just 4 years ago. It's pretty sad. Live in Canada for a few years and tell me where you'd rather be, pick any province other than Newfoundland...that's a scary place;)
Glad to see that this can be faught somewhere. Really though, the question is... How long can Canada do this before they get pressured to follow in their oppressive neighbors' lead? I wouldn't rejoice too quickly, but it's nice to see.
Propaganda, that's the real enemy. Here in the US, Europe is seen as ignorant loaners who don't want to help anyone take over the world. I'm not a big fan of the french attitude, and I am french (Canadian). I just hate to see people blindly spout vulgarities when most of them probably have never met a real frenchman. In my experience, they're annoying but fun at parties.
You just HAD to go and talk about our piracy havens at the library huh? Dammit! Now they'll have armed guards walking down the aisles making sure no one is reading the books.
I noticed that too. I mean in Dark Alliance II they did it right. That little quick menu was awesome. Much improved from DA 1. I was surprised to see how counter-intuitive the spellbook was in this game though. I haven't had too many lockup problems or graphic issues either. The heavy-hitter for me is the magic bindings, it's just horrible. One addictive game for sure, I love this engine they developed. Like playing Icewind Dale meets Gauntlet, two games that are excellent.
Yes I played that game and the attack controls were actually pretty good. They released another game with the same engine (no reference sorry). I thought it was revolutionary at the time, hard to get used to since you'd have to hit multiple buttons and click and drag the mouse to do an attack, but if you got good at it, the game was very fun. Always love chopping goblins to bits. Was funny too in that you could cut off an Orc's leg and then pick it and beat him with it, great stuff.

Too funny.

Wow my spelling was way off on that post.
But I was trying to make a sad little joke with the cows and India...ha ha ho ho. Plus, because he's IN the Netherlands doesn't mean he's FROM the Netherlands.
Excellent, thanks. I know they are all powerful and everything but still. That is funny to see what they got their trademark revoked, as they should.
btw, i just love the way tou compare people to cattle. Very funny and so true nowadays.

Holy shit, where the hell did that come from...talk about RTFA with yer eyes open.

Yea I know... I figured though that since I live here and RIAA is much more evil, that they deserved props for it too. They're no better.
