I don't think they are in a position to bomb anything, seeing as they have little or no air force. I mean we've shot down more British planes then Iraqi ones.
That was 'fixed' by the USPA.. Key quote: "Section 901 of the USA PATRIOT Act would empower the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency ("DCI"), to establish the priorities for the collection and dissemination of intelligence information gathered in the U.S."
And I highly doubt they would be interested in what books a person reads, but that's just me. Uh, they want to know if people entering the US asked for meals without pork...
This could be a subtle atempt to outlaw certain books. People would be scared away from 'subversive' material if they knew that the Gov't was watching their every move.
As an American, I'm curious: Just what aspects of our society do you admire? Most opinions I hear are either very positive ('We are better then everyone else'; mostly from US citizens) or very negative ('They think their better then everybody else'; rest of world).
So we need to triple up on keys? It's function can already be preformed with a mouse key, and if a mouse is unavailable there is a backup on the keyboard. Do we really need 3 ways to open a menu?
What about those who because of a physical disability cannot use a mouse or trackball and instead navigate Windows with a keyboard? What about those whose pointing device has only one button? (No redundant Mac jokes please; some early Windows laptops were like this.)

No reason really. I just wanted to throw in a random country to make it even more odd(it was either that or Canada:) ). Besides, I'm waiting for Curious George to add them to the 'axis of evil' b/c they don't want us invading Iraq...
"Thank you for calling NORAD. To launch a nuclear strike against Russia, press 1. To launch a nuclear strike against Iraq, press 2. To launch a nuclear strike against North Korea, press 3. To launch a nuclear strike against France, press 4. To hear these options again, press 5."
Of the 5 shuttles we have (Atlantis, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery and Endeavor) 2 have exploded. That means that 40% of our shuttles have failed, and in the proccess killed their crews. Granted, we won't run out of them until about 2050...
While in principle I agree, if we get to the point that we actually are fighting the gov't, do you think we/they will care about the constitutionality of it?

There's also the association issue. It would be so easy to create a site that combines satanism and American Express on a single page, using content hyperlinked from a satanism site and American Express, thereby giving the impression that American Express supports satanism.
I could also say that AE supports the devil or write an essay on how they bill people who owe $666.00000003% more often. It is called freedom of speech/expression. I could also cite my works by saying I found it in Vol 5, chapter 2, page 123, par. 5 instead of saying 'check the library'.
You realize that this trial is taking place in Norway right? It doesnt seem like that much of a stretch (since IANAL) to assume that Norwegian precedent have 0 (zero) effect on the US legal system.
Yeh, it's not like US law can be applied to other countries...
No offense, but people like you are the reason our gov't is going to hell in a hand basket. Do you honestly belive that they won't tie this in with TIA etc?

Shift-F10 does the same thing.
Or, even worse, come back as some 'black project' that they deny exists...
You have that backwards.

Right, and the US _never_ enforces its own laws in foreign countries...

What I find really scary is that Deus Ex is feeling less and less like a game, and more like my life in 30 years.

India might just want M$ to invest in their IT sector, then say "Nevermind, we'll go with Linux." They might get a billion or so out of the deal.
