Ok. So how do I get back to the classic index in slashdot? It has changed the last few days and I can't get it back even with the tickbox set for "Use Classic Index".:-/
Yes, there is an error in the Fox News article. Here is a quote from the official site instead:
ECONOMICS PRIZE: The executives and directors of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Magnetar for creating and promoting new ways to invest money -- ways that maximize financial gain and minimize financial risk for the world economy, or for a portion thereof.
Well, I have a need for naval transports in the early game. The unit one gets when one start (atleast as the Greeks) doesn't have the "Embark" ability. So there I was, sitting on an island with no place to go find ruins or fight barbarians and all I wanted was to tech up and build a raft of some sort.
If you already has a party that has the politics you want (The Green Party) then join them and work from the inside if you feel that going the new-party-road is to hard in France. The swedish pirates has a culture of seeing their party as a way to 'hack' the political system, just as one would hack a computer system. The new-party-exploit might be patched in France, but there usually is another way to get influence.
And also, you French guys have La Quadrature du Net which is doing some great work. Joining them would be a good start if your not already active there.
It's coming to all other countries around the world too. The United Nations have been pushed to accept a Resolution to Combat Defamation of Religion that would bar worldwide all criticism of religions.
These are dangerous times, just like all other times before. If democracy and freedom of speech isn't practiced it will erode away before our eyes.
Always remember that if it weren't for the name Pirate Party none of you would talk about the party at all. The name helps bring more attention to it than it scares away stiffies.
The Amiga Music Preservation project doesn't seem to recognize this which is why I refuse to let them take part of my own module-compilation. They are spreading the hard work of a lot of amiga-musician and then in some weird fashion refuses to let others use the fact-collection. I quote from their FAQ at http://amp.dascene.net/faq.php Can I export part or all of AMP's composer database and use it in my website? No way! AMP's composer database is the result of many years spent on gathering and sorting information. In order to avoid legal prosecution we recommend you not to include any part or mirror our database in your website.
I hope their solution is better than what the Linux Mint distribution does. The Google-results from the Mint-search is really poor compared to Firefox-search. And also the way they have implemented their Mint-search makes it almost as hard to go back to Normal-Firefox-search as deleting spyware in Windows. Just take a look at the instructions below. Might not be that hard for Linux-pros, but it's way harder than what the Firefox-crew meant it to be: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=39623
The funny thing is that even if "Meet Joe Black" isn't everybody's cup of tea (slow romantic snore-fest) it always will be a lot better than "The Phantom Menace".
Whatever happened to compassion? I think the main reason to allow immigrants are to relief them from the poor conditions they come from be it famine, war or political harassment. But maybe I'm not seeing the difference between immigrant and refugee here since English isn't my native language.
It wasn't all bad. I think the funniest part was: "I was trying to pick up a woman who was sitting at the bar, and talking to her about video games in general."
Erhrmm. . . We swedes still lead the pissing contest I'm afraid Piratpartiet in Sweden has: Approx 50170 members which makes us the third largest party in the country. Approx 22030 members in our youth section which makes us the largest youth section of all in the country. 7.1% of the Swedish EU-election votes and a solid, democratic seat in the parliament for the next 5 years.
But we all hope to be beaten by any other country soon! Germany is coming on strong at the moment it seems. . .
I had heard about openbittorrent before but not torrage. This is amazing news! Now all one need is a site to collect hashes and make them searchable. If that could be achieved on something like Freenet then the MAFIAA would probably finally have to go after the seeds and leechers instead of the infrastructure.
But if you put up a speech from a Chinese or Burman disident, will it be taken down? No it wont no matter how hard their governments try. And I think you might have forgotten things like TPBs support for the Iranian democratic movement. And then there was the whole Arboga-case debacle which in no uncertain way showed how much more TPB cared about open information than expected revenue.
They really DO give a fuck about free speech, and they've shown it again and again!
Don't underestimate The Pirate Bays role in the now global Piracy-political movement. - Without The Pirate Bay, and their takedown, there wouldn't have been a membersurge to the Swedish PirateParty. - Without the surge of members to the swedish PP the issues wouldn't have been picked up by the old-school media but stayed in the blogosphere. - Without the old-school media the average John Doe (or Svensson since we are still in Sweden) wouldn't have picked up on the issues. - Without the Svenssons the PP wouldn't get 7,1% of the Swedish votes for EU-parliament. - Without the entrance to the EU-parliament global media wouldn't have spread the words "Pirates invade EU!!" like wildfire around the globe. - Without the wildfire we wouldn't see the new international membersurge for PP in countries like Germany and Finland and such.
And a lot, I mean A LOT!!! of this is due to The Pirate Bay. They are an integral part of this new movement and they have done an almost inhuman effort to lift the issues and I have nothing but respect and deep gratitude for them.
It's still speculation whether the deal will go through or not. At the moment it's more in the state of GGF saying "We got the money and the deal will be done" while the media and journalists says "Show us the money then or we wont believe you since you have a shady past".
The final transaction will take place (or not) on Thursday I think.
I've gone from an attitude of "Download quite a lot and buy some" to "Download even more and buy absolutely fucking nothing from you scumbags who lobby for laws that destroys one of the most amazing things we humans have created (Thats right, it's the Internex I'm talking about) just to sustain your formerly good but nowdays flawed business model"
If it has come down to be only a matter of what the ratio of legal/illegal content is then I would suggest TPB to start auto-adding 1000.torrent-files pointing to linux-dists for every torrent uploaded. Problem solved.
So MKV is now included in the new Divx? That just means we will get stuck without the new Divx on PS3 since Sony just loves screwing their customers. I try to use my PS3 as a mediacenter but I soon will give up and buy a Popcorn Hour or something since Sony doesn't give us customers the love we deserve.
USB Keyboard and Mouse support in hardware. But only ONE SINGLE FPS (Unreal Tournament) uses the standardized Mouse+Keyboard controller scheme. Horrible horrible!

Hey, don't go calling The Piratebay shady. They are nice guys!

Actually, of the above mentioned examples, Pacman has a "linear, follow-and-succeed path". But it's really hard to learn and master it.

Anybody got a new mirror? I still haven't been able to see the video.
I got no modpoints, but please mod parent up. VERY informative! Thanks!

Now, that's some crappy attitude.

I love you for making my day a bit brighter and sorry for not having modpoints but you're already at +5.
