The company is confident there will not be any
legal challenges from Apple. "All we are facilitating

told the Reuters news agency.
I wonder how fast he's going to get sued by the legal publishers that the article refers to as "more expensive", and thus quite successful and profitable?
But you're right, you have no reason to believe me. Having two sides to a story just muddles things up.
But I have to ask.... do you need electricity to have a good life? Or do you, maybe, just need a different routine? They don't watch much TV down there. The families I talked to all spent time with eachother. They played sports. They did laundry with hand-operated machines, or at laundromats. They danced to music on the radio. Above all, they were smiling through all these "hardships" and in spite of their poor "standard of living".
I'm pretty sure the Germans were against those actions, whereas the Cubans are largely happy with the way their country works.
Sure, the dual economy is wrecking them on an international market, but hopefully the increased presence globally will help with that. As a building technologist who has worked in Cuba (Canada and Cuba get along great, I can actually buy Cuban cigars at the Hasty Mart down the street from my house) I can tell you that Cuba is doing the best they can with a bad starting position, and it's really quite pleasant down there. A poor economy != unhappy population.
When you learn to capitalize, you should learn to read the usernames of ALL posters. I know you replied to me... I am entirely unaffiliated with Australia. However, I will take your example, and assume that, based on your username, you are a two-dimensional shape, and thus unable to type. Color me impressed.
So based on my screen name, he decided what country I was from? I'm from Canada... I live in Canada... I've never lived anywhere other than Canada. Other countries can use the word "Wombat", unless those copyright laws have gotten way too out of hand...
Everytime I see or hear Dreamcatcher, I just keep thinking of that awful movie, "Attack Of The Assweasels", based on the Stephen King book of the same name. *shudder*
Video games may be a hell of a lot easier to learn than literature appreciation, or even basic literacy, but I do have one question about that...
So?
My son is so incredibly happy that he's picking up reading skills that the Nintendo and my wife's computer are almost growing dusty from lack of use while he spends his time reading dinosaur books, and Calvin & Hobbes. True, hardly great literature, but the fact is just because something's easier to do doesn't mean it's going to win outright.
Then again, maybe the issue isn't the kids... let's face it, movies with substance, with a message, with depth and meaning don't tend to make a lot of money, and thus either don't get made, or only get shown on select screens for two weeks, and then fade into obscurity. Transformers made HOW much money?
Well, that one's such a downer... the book wouldn't sell if it wasn't funny. Read the review:
Mr Boase said. "I confess I had no profound intellectual motive; I simply found them fascinating. They filled me with disbelief, astonishment, disgust and -- best of all - laughter."
No kidding! I mean, they CLEARLY got the first Scotty wrong, by casting an Irish-Canadian to play a Scot. Now we're getting someone who actually HAS an accent to play a Scot? INSANITY!

Thank Gord that's not how every industry works...

But... but...
That's what they get for throttling their own connections...

I don't recall saying "all", but your pedantry has been noted.
I talked to several, notably skilled engineers, lawyers, and the "poor people" the water treatment plant was going to be supplying water to. Better?

No, French people are just like that all the time.

He's from British Columbia... they don't need jet fuel to fly. Hell, they smoke anything out there... I even hear tell they smoke salmon.
Seriously, though, I've met this guy before, and the definition of "space" might be a little loose, but crazy wins over reality, every time.
Excellent use of the Gmail "Word Of The Day"...
