The education budget is cut. Healthcare costs increase. The spreading of democracy costs more and more lives. World population is still increasing while people consume more and more.
Probably we indeed need a lot of these ray-cannons.
1. Never ever set foot on that continent. 2. Everybody go to that continent and order the samen meals and flood the database.
Why? Isn't it just insane that the you have to be tracked in every step you take? Hell. I'm innocent and I don't want to be treated as a possible threat to society.
Mind you. Here in Europe things arn't that much better. You don't have to carry an ID, but if the police asks you for it, you have to show it. (ok. only if they suspect you did something illegal).
It's SO ironic. Last major terrorist action (spain, some years ago) eveny government is doing exactly that what the terrorists want them to do. Issue all kinds of weird laws that take away our freedom, wiretap everybody, evedrop on your email and so on and so on.
The whole idea isn't that crazy. Afaik it's a well known fact that people in larger cars and cars with airbags feel safer and therefore drive less safe than people in smaller cars and cars without airbags.
If I had SchpammHauzzz.org I'd be GLAD to redirect it to a certain server...
I heard about $company$.com who went to court to redirect fuck$company$.com away from their servers, but if spamhaus doesn't mind if SchpammHauzzz.org is pointing to their servers...
US COMPANIES are allowed to lobby, but asking the ambassy (that's what I was told) to lobby, a political representation, is just really strange. Have a lobby group do the lobby work for MS, have the government do the political negotiations for all the companies.
A government CAN be involved, but NOT on behalf of ONE company in particular.
That's a new one. The US (government) doesn't have to agree with the EU laws. And the EU doesn't have to agree with the US laws (examples: gay marriage, environment, torture, death penalty). If there is a serious disagreement official talks are the usually way to sort this out. Until there the law is changed, the law is the law. For you, for me and also for MicroSoft.
true. everybody can comment, but in my opinion if the eu laws are unfair, there should be political talks about that laws in general instead of a lobby about this one case in particular.
Isn't it time for an institution to protect the people from organisations like the RIAA, and other powerful companies and stuff. No, not the government, but something truely independent.

When I'm laying in my backyard I want to be sure Google well pixelate my sensitive areas too ;)

Well. Maybe you're right. I remember last time I clicked on a banner and bought something that was....
Wait. That was... Sorry. Can't remember.
Well let's say that was WAY before 2003.
Does anybody know if Open Office is affected?
Can you safely open (infected) word documents in OO at this moment?
Tin foil suits perhaps?
My apologies to Canada.

Great job.
Nope. I just prefer FF :D

I like the idea. now let's see if it's working
That's all i can say.
I thought history has learned us some valuable lessons like "war, HUH, what is it good for" end "thou shalt not kill". But not.
I am against death penalty. It's the easy way out. Death is The End, not a punishment.
Anyway. In name of democracy, let's move on to the next mass-murderer.
Life is dangerous! It will kill you!
"US elections are controlled at the local level, so unfortunately such a nationwide fix would not be workable here."

US-local and NL-nation wide are more or less the same

This means you need 4x the CPU power, so it's time to upgrade all your servers or buy more of them.
Nice one, uncle Sam.

There are rules. They're called LAW.
But maybe in the US they're meaningless?
Din't think so. Break them and suffer the consequences.

why did they make this strange exception. make it illegal for them to call at all!
If Google doesn't comply, Yahoo will or M$ will.
What is comes down to is hard .
