My experience is that Interpol has always been a politically motivated organization. Recently an American has taken over the top Interpol position. Maybe he will reform their practices, e.g. they don't work weekends.
looking through the leaks for 12/5, specifically the ones from the american embassy in germany, i find the names of the german companies involved with trading with iran redacted (name replace by xxxxxx). who would want to do this? worried about corporate vengeance?
Agreed. SoCal Edison is notorious for keeping obsolete equipment in place. Just be aware, if the transformer blows out near your house, the guys in HAZMAT suits will be digging up the soil to haul away (PCBs as transformer fluid, never replaced).
You assume the enforcers want p2p to die. If that happened, they'd have to find a job. They see their job as fighting brush fires, ensuring lifelong employment. The actual money behind them is ill-informed, and are kept that way.
Widespread misunderstanding of catholic mythology. Immaculate conception is the conception of a human being within its mother WITHOUT the stain of original sin. The goddess virgin mary, mother of jesus was the only case of immaculate conception i am aware of. But of course, all reptiles are born free of original sin, is it not so? that is why they do not need to have a religion.
The reality is that any american who is planning to spend time in an area of interest to the CIA, whether peace corps or whatever is APPROACHED by the CIA to provide information as their patriotic duty. whether they do it or not is up to them. ask any peace corp worker.
Why bother with whois? The site clearly is Israeli, look at how you are given a choice of English/Hebrew. Also the ads for Alan Dershowitz's book should be a tipoff. This does not prove anything, however.
My own experience is that I was involved in engineering (electrical) for the first few years of my education (including intern-like technician work). I found the general attitude of the engineering types, with few exceptions was more hostile, isolationist, insensitive and judgemental. So I changed to a health care field, and, all better. This experience was both at university and in the business sector. Perhaps some of these characteristics make a person more likely to respond to terrorist influences.
My personal opinion is that repeated stories of corporate management supersalaries and superbonuses, even when there is no logical reason has worn away the ethics of many corporate employees. Rather than an attitude that we are all working together towards common goals, many now feel that it is OK to go for as much as you can get for yourself, and the company, the public and ethics be damned.
I for one volunteer to stop my selfish drug taking behavior. So now I don't have to take any responsibility for what happens down there. Mexico has extremely strict gun control laws. Why don't they just enforce them?
If they went under, what would happen to the millions of aol email accounts still in use? Oh, the humanity!
The only time I am ever aware that aol still exists is when my 79 year-old father forwards email to me that was sent to him from one of his elderly, aol-using friends.
A good friend of mine still happily uses his Juno email account. Whatever happened to Juno?
Automobile analogy: I greatly prefer a manual transmission, and would only buy a car with one. But the number of new cars sold with manual has dropped to below 4%. Nothing bad to say about linux or the manual transmission, but people are generally busy (lazy) and want convenience and what their friends have.
Yes, but it's nothing new. Anyone could more easily put an ounce of cocaine in his desk and call the cops, no computer expertise needed. What's sickest is someone willing to download, let alone look at, child porn just to get someone in trouble.
Good idea - I volunteer to plant an ounce of cocaine you give me in the desk of anyone you choose. No charge.
My take on this is that it is simply sabre-rattling. India wants to gain some sort of concessions or financial consideration from these big fat rich American companies.
I don't know where you are writing from, but my personal experience here (Southern California) is that ordering water at a fast food outlet is treated as routine. Sometimes there is even a stack of small paper cups for you to help yourself from the dispenser.
Yes, but flea markets in the US where illegal sales take place are not doing with approval of the authorities. Just like school segregation and institutionalized racism were overturned by the force of law, this did not eliminate the racists, it just made them go underground, and unable to freely express their hatred.
The job of government is to standardize right and wrong to the benefit of the population, at the risk of alienating some people. Not just by having the laws, but by ENFORCING the laws. That allows them to lecture others.
Lazy and impatient? What if you lost the remote for your television. You would just say "oh well, I'll just get up to make adjustments right on the set rather than getting another remote because I am not lazy or impatient"

He got the peace of mind of knowing that that he was being protected from a devious Guatemalan assassin. Thats gotta be worth something.

Pictures of our galaxy would be prohibited in Germany then, I guess.

India is to democracy as Russia was to socialism. automotive analogy: they both make pretty unfortunate cars

very thoughtful of them to choose -40 degrees, so those favoring Celsius AND Fahrenheit will understand.
The idea of this is sick

As long as we have the Angry Video Game Nerd and others like him, these games will always be playable.

Kill it!!! With fire!!!
Then where will we get our football players? Or our successful salesmen? And police/security guards?
So what happens when ALL the picked-on kids take kung-fu classes? Who do the bullies pick on then? Is this a universal solution?
