    Oh man! You won't believe what dastardly devils are using cash for their low and criminal acts.
    Drugs, prostitution, corruption, weapons deals, whitewash, all done with cash.
    It's an outright miracle that 'the authorities' haven't yet forbidden the use of cash altogether!

    In Europe they call this 'green energy', and it's eligible for subsidy. Because it's called 'green'.
    Funny though is the fact that the pumping up the mountain is done with nuclear energy.

    I think I got your point...
    First you exploited the negroid part of the human population by loading them--by force--into ships and bringing them to your country in order for them to work as slaves for you with no renumeration, except for some good whippings so now and then.
    Then, later, when they are 'liberated', you do everything to criminalize them, put them in prison, and let them work there again for a no salary, while telling them they should make themselves 'useful'.
    You, Sir, apparently are part of an abusive species of disgustingly low moral standing.

    ment, because the publisher of the links had commercial gain in doing so. And that's what the 'supreme court' had ruled: publishing of links is not infringement, save in 'special cases'.
    The 'specialty' of this case is the commercial interest in publishing the links, and the fact that this action actually released the pictures into the greater public.
    So the general 'supreme court' ruling that linking is not publishing still stands, except for this special case.

  5. criminals? on Aussie Tax Office Wants Phone Tapping, Data Retention · · Score: 1

    ...with the Commissioner of Taxation previously explaining that the connection between criminals and their finances made them 'especially vulnerable to revenue collection agencies, because of the ability to identify the discrepancy between their wealthy lifestyle and modest tax declarations.'

    Apparently the tax office has invented their own definition of 'criminals', as they will now go after each and everyone with a 'discrepancy between their wealthy lifestyle and modest tax declarations'.
    So, first when I read the word 'criminals', I wanted to post: "And those criminals, that is you.
    But later, when I read the remaining part of the sentence, I realized that he must have meant the corporations!

  7. Re:Anyone else have good experience with Logitech? on Logitech Releases Washable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Not really.
    One time (about 3 years ago) I bought their USB headset which performed excellently (once it was recognised by my hardware) but for some reason it suddenly died. "Well", I thought, "Why not buy another one, as the quality (except for the breakdown) was near to perfect."
    So, off I went to the shop, bought one (A-0008), and was quite happy with it. Until one earshell broke off. Then I got complaints from others who had to listen to me as I spoke through the mike, that there was a terrible 50 Hz humming sound which they had to endure. And then the one earpiece left started making crackling noises if some low-frequency sound were sent to it.
    Then, there is my Logitech Mouse M305. Middle button a total failure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    I don't think I'll buy there expensive crap anymore...

    Either you are totally naive, or you are willingly and utterly ignoring the context in which all this takes place.
    There is this big bad american government which doesn't hesitate to kidnap people--especially not if they're 'foreigners'-- and to send them in extra-judicial rendition to all kinds of dark and remote places where they can be tortured by proxy.
    And there is Sweden, which has shown already before to be a 'good partner' and helpful in this kind of illegal state-activities.
    And then there's the context of terrorism, american military involvement, Bradley Manning being detained for more than 2 years without due process.
    Are you really really really that naive that you think you can just ignore all these facts and conditions and tell Assange to 'just trust' in the goodness of the Swedish and American rulers and that he'll have a fair treatment?
    Very naive...

    I'm afraid I just found out that the whole point of the people's power, which allegedly started with the French Revolution, was to fool us, the people, in thinking that finally we would be in control.
    While on the other hand it was just a puppet revolution setup by the banks to get rid of their bad-debt risks with lending huge sums of warfare money to kings and queens where the inheritor of the same would deny responsibility for paying back those debts. With governments you don't have this problem because then it's the whole country which is liable for the debt, and countries don't change that often.
    So the whole french revolution was nothing more than a good PR, suckering 'the people' in taking over responsibility of their countries' loans.
    While keeping those in control who already were...
    (I think the current 'debt crisis' proves my point.)

    Clearly one of those trollers hired by governments and spin-doctoring opinion agencies, which by the way are also hired by the government (or by whomever wants to influence public opinion).
    Those people are paid to monitor blogs and step in with their 'opinion' whenever there is a controversial subject going on on which the one who hires them wants the opinion to be favourable to his own interests.
    Saw the same happening lately on projectcensored.org: someone claiming to be totally innocent and proclaimed he totally trusted Google with all his personal data and wouldn't mind if it were used for anything Google and its affiliates wanted, as long as service remained free of charge. (puke) Anyway, clearly nobody with that kind of personality would never ever visit a website like projectcensored.org, so that was clearly one of 'those' 'mercenaries'.
