I remember seeing pictures of Buran on the junk heap about 10 years ago. Why is this news today?

And we challenge you to defeat our censorwa- AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Our brains! Our soft, sensitive brains!
Is pretty much how this looks like it'll play out. I might - might - give this a brief trial, if it's free, but paying even a month ahead looks like a recipe for losing money in the inevitable shutdown when it collapses under the 4Chan lulz.
I do not quite see how does the data protection act authorise you to give the data in question.
What, you can't read the Act?
29 Crime and taxation
(1)Personal data processed for any of the following purposes--
(a)the prevention or detection of crime,
[...]
are exempt from the first data protection principle
Go on, argue that copyright infringement isn't a "crime". Then read the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988, section 107 1, (e)
107 Criminal liability for making or dealing with infringing articles,
(1)A person commits an offence who, without the licence of the copyright owner--
[...]
(e)distributes otherwise than in the course of a business to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the owner of the copyright
an article which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe is, an infringing copy of a copyright work.
That's the controlling statute. The only argument to be made is whether sharing a file constitutes "distributes [...] to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the owner of the copyright".
Bingo. Remember, the claim was that it would "change the way we design cities". Which was another way of saying: "shit-all use for the cities that we have now".
See that glowing thing in front of you? The thing you're reading this on? It's just like little pictures of cats and pyramids scratched onto stone tablets, only we fixed it.
Just so we're clear "mil-spec" means: runs at half speed, weights double, costs ten times as much as it should. But on the other hand, some really nice lunches get eaten during the tender process.
Technically, your parents own the PS3 in their basement, since they paid for it. Actually, as their welfare checks come out of my tax money, it's really mine. I'll be around to collect it later, and if you give me any trouble, I shall kick you in the groin until your testicles descend and your voice breaks.
I'm not an unethical thief who would thinks nothing of stealing from friends.
That's a relief, because if there's one thing we know about unethical thieves who think nothing of stealing from their friends, it's that they're scrupulously open about their intentions.
Wait, is that the Supreme Court of the United States?
They're just being modest. Obviously, it's really the Supreme Court of the World, and if you don't acknowledge that, well, you're either with Us or with The Terrorists.
Uh, you know those "foreign combatants" kept in dog kennels in Guantanamo Bay, and not charged because we don't even know why we captured them in the first place? Those guys? According to those filthy liberal peacenik commies in the Supreme Court, apparently they're actually "people"!
He should get together with Julian "nobody but me deserves to have secrets" Assange, and together they could try to make two useful people, or failing that, a crate of Soylent Green.
I agree. If your dad is an abusive jerk, you don't deserve to be protected from other abusive jerks. They're no worse than what you get at home, so what are you bitching about?
Apropos that, the first thing I thought of when I read TFA was Kruge's cogent argument for boarding a 430-crew ship with a dozen grunts: "We are Klingons!"
I was just thinking that vinyl is like Scott Pilgrim vs The World: adored by a statistically insignificant number of smug hipster douches, ignored by everyone else.
That's what They said about writing operating systems, and yet here I am happily compiling kernel modules for an OS developed largely by enthusiastic amateurs who learned by doing. Take my point?
Slashdot Mirror
Klingon language support, and an Emacs look and feel.
...love to talk about themselves, and assume everyone else is just like them. End of mystery.
Hos, dwarves and Nazis. Statistically, in every room of 10 people, there's a ho, a dwarf and a Nazi (and sometimes they're even different people).

Now, we can have an informed debate. Go ahead.
Heck, I'll give you the same bit of paper, for only 5 times retail price.
Bingo. Remember, the claim was that it would "change the way we design cities". Which was another way of saying: "shit-all use for the cities that we have now".
That's a safety device. Why do you want children to burn themselves? What's your anti-child agenda here?

You seem to have deep seated daddy issues. Still wondering who yours was, eh?

I'm not seeing the bit where GP said that "we" were good, just that "they" are bad. Can you clarify?

Well, I said "OS" (twice, even), but don't let your lack of basic reading comprehension stop you from spouting your opinion.
