but if you care about confidentiality of your datas once your laptop is stolen, and at the same time you store most of your datas on servers owned and administered by someone who is not you (the Google company in this case), then maybe you should think twice about what you do.

Considering your explanation above, I doubt any contract starts on day 1, because clearly they don't want to pay, and not starting contracts on day 1 is a way for them to not pay.
RIAA doesn't need Obama's DOJ help anymore, because Chris Brown said he was sorry for what he did. So let's just marry RIAA and Chris, and I'm sure all will be fine between them from now on.
Is this surprising that with the wii sold like hot cakes there are more people trying to access to Nintendo's download service at a given time than there are for the other two consoles ?
Personally whenever I read an encyclopedia I want to see the original caption, or its translated version, as well as some lengthy textual, factual and neutral explanation about the context this picture was taken in. And if Hitler or Staline had mustaches when the picture was taken, I want to see them on the picture shown to me 60 or more years later.
If we begin to rewrite history by modifying original captions, instead of explaining why they were written this way, what's to stop us from modifying pictures themselves ? After all many countries used (haha !) to do this. I propose you put "Painter of the XXth century" as the caption below every picture of Hitler, instead of "German politician who inspired and directed the extermination of millions of people for dubious reasons"...
Not sure if you understand this point of view, but historical artifacts like pictures are what they are, and have to be used as historical artifacts, nothing less, nothing more, and despite their content being "shocking" for some people.
You know, Georges Brassens excepted, most well known "French" "artists" came (there's no good french singer still alive) either from Quebec or from Belgium... BTW there are some english translations of Georges Brassens songs, you should either listen to them or read their lyrics...
> I would believe that the French law enforcement will not enforce this law against French > citizens.
You're missing the point. This particular law precisely tells French citizens that, as far as "piracy" is concerned, law enforcement is to be directly done by private interest holders like the french RIAA equivalents. This negate the rights of each and every french citizen to have such matters decided in a court of law.
I think it's really excellent. It especially makes great use of the power of the wiimote and nunchuck, which is (was ?) rare. I had stopped playing for twenty years until I found this game, then I couldn't stop until I had finished it...
I think you have one giant elephant of a problem sitting right there in the middle of the room : to put the change you suggest in place, this has to be decided by humans. Although many of them are not in for the money (or at least I was told so), all of them are in for the power. And I don't think any of them will accept to lose this power over other humans, especially to give it to a computer...

While the camera in the wiimote points to the screen, Microsoft camera points at you !
Who knows what they'll do with the pictures ?

Your statement is just vague enough to still be as embarrassing for MS as it would probably have been if you had been more precise.

why doesn't tagging this with "obamaa" reports my tag as being "obama" instead ?
Oh my god ! Time to sue Colin Powell...
I would find this funny, if only my daughter's History professor didn't write sentences like these all the time...

When I saw him, I don't know exactly why, but this reminded me of Dr Strangelove...

Wasn't it U-Boot ?
With Windows aboard, they couldn't find a better name !
Ouch ! This hurts !!!
Thanks for the laugh, then.
Are you joking ?
I don't, it was just to introduce some humor in a very serious matter.

Isn't changing the original caption a form of "politically correct" motivated revisionism of history ?
If the caption is part of the picture, I can't see why anyone would want to modify it, unless this person wants to hide something.
Translating them is another matter, but real translations should be done, not edulcorated ones.

More like :
