Sure. That means from now on we can depict baby getting shoot in the head, while their parents are getting slowly and extremly painfully burned alive watching the whole. Then the neighbour family father and mother is slowly tortured with various intrument, all the while their youngest daughter is beeing pierced with long spike in non vital organs. The baby was naturally zapped with electrical shock of increasing voltage. Follow then various scene of terrible violence done on the kids of the neighbourgh orphenage.
Such film scenario would perfectly A-OK because, hey, there is no breast shown in the film, and everybody knows that such violence is not real violence.
In many EU country, you cannot refuse to serve somebody on ground of gender, disablities, religion or race, nationality (well I should say skin color since the concept of race for human is blatantly bunk). There are naturally a few exception (like where serving a disabled person where it would be impossible to ensure their security or would be contrary to the purpose of the service), but the law is quite clear on that point. And I think the anti segregation law are the same in the US (feel free to correct me on that one). So yes, *NO* private business offering a service to the public have a right to refuse service for those reason. No granted they can come up with anything else : financial reason for example, or that you have an obnoxious attitude degrading the quality of service to other client. But bottom line, your "for any reason (despite.... tell you)" is bunk.
The problem was not as far as I can tell that somebody was cutting content out of the film, the problem was that they were redistributing it without the agreement of the copyright holder. Which is a big no-no. I am pretty sure that, if private person bought a video, and asked to edit out the content, and got back their video edited, without any kind of distribution happenning, then this would have been OK.
This has been debunked time and time over, especially with the late tsunami where uncountable number of land (ad sea) animals cadaver were found, all of which were caught unaware waayy away from he hlls. Too bad the *well reporting* did not follow very well on that one, uh ?
If you are ruled out as a war-fighter and are not supposed to be covered by geneva convention, then you ARE A FREAKING CIVILIAN and have to be judged for your misdeed under civilian law. There is no such things as being neither civilian nor war-fighter. It is a pure invention of US to indulge themselves into doing whatever they want with those people instead of respecting US law or international convention.
Wake up you have here a governement which says "I can do whatever please me, and if I am not allowed to do X on Y people, then I will rename Y people into Z, and since Z people are not defined by convention or law I can do whatever please me inclusive forever imprisonning without due process".
Those are not the same people asking for backporting, and new feature. I request backporting because I am cheap ass and do not want to buy a new system, install it, loose time hunting driver and patch, just to play the new games. JUST.FOR.FREAKING.DIRECT.10.
Other wants new feature because they want the new shiny toys, or search for any excuse to bash MS, or simply try to see if upgrading is interresting.
Do you know many legal agreement between two private party, and which can be changed at any time by one party, even absolving this party from any previous legal agreemeent with the other party, without involving this second party ? Me neither.
Actually all particule exhibit that duality. I worked for the labor which made the first scattering of an electron through a germanium crystal (I think it was germanium at least).
Police helicopter need a pilote, need fuel, is expensive. Drone can be autopiloted, can save everything on band (no need of personal), and only need a fuel station somewhere available. Naturally we are not yeet that far (I do not think drone can be automatised that far yet, but I bet it could be done).
Nuke are more or less only heat. A nuke would not do much against an asteroid of good size, to change its direction, and I am pretty sure, neither would it do much good to break it up. You would have more luck sending heavy weight with a lot of propellant to play billiard with the asteroid...
It is as bad as having a permanent leash. I dunno for you, but having such a leash on me around my teen would have pushed me to rebellion (or rather a head on conflict), defiance toward my parents, and even complete and uter distrust. After all why should i trust somebody which do not trust me a bit. Trust is to be shared and exchanged. it ain't a one sided issue (unless you are waaaay naive).
Worst case scenario if you are a leash for your whole teenage, you do not get to experience by yourself , and even mature. Making yourself unfit for society.
maybe you think i am exagerating, but I know of two of such people. And it is quite sad....
If you really think the Afghan resistance chased the russian with only guns.... Then you really need to read history book. Firstly they had the support from the western intelligence agency (mostly US) who got them some modern armament, like LAWs Mines, SAMs. They also made some ambush with sniper, but there weren't open air battle with guns that the resistance won. OTOH with all previously named material and a guerilla tactic they made a war of attrition costing a lot of money to the russian in time, material, and human. Guns did not help them. modern armament and bombs did.
The day the US citizen have got LAWs and SAMs and mines to defend themselves instead of only guns, is the day that rethoric of "well armed to defend against governement" will hold as true. But until then with only guns this is a PURE illusion.
...I think the have set the correct price. Why ? I think they are betting on the agging gamer population (the one more likely to be attracted to a consle with a blue ray device to watch film too). And thus for a gamer forking 500-00$ isn't that much. Think of it, if the market was 5 years ago 16-25, now additionally to the kids coming in recent years to gaming age, those old gamer are now 21-30, an age where you have purchasing power...And the dad of that 8-12 years old kid will also likely be a gamer of 26-36 year old...
Firstly I will ask you : how the hell fingerprinting is supposed to catch illegals. If you fingerprint you have them at hands. You can as well kick their ass out because they commited a felony (which imply fingerprinting already).
Secondly, chance is, if you are not one of the native, you were an immigrant from the last 100, or 200 years (your family at least). The US were fully built on immigration. that tells a lot that the locals now balk at the word and use it as a demon.
2) catching legal commiting crimes.
What sort of crime ? Most crime you are already caught WITHOUT fingerprinting before. So how does it help to fingerprint people comming a few day for duty travel and holiday ? AND KEEPING THE DATA 5 YEARS AFTER THEY ARE GONE ???
I have a news for you. The immense majority of the crime in comparison from population to people gaining lawful entry of your country is msot probably from LOCAL people. So when do you start fingerprinting them ? Thougth so.
3) Catching lgeal entry staying illegally
And how the hell fingerprinting them helps ? Do you make random control of fingerprint in the street ? Thougth so too. This won't help a iota. As usual they will catch those people when they have "contact" with the normal authorithy (police, social security, work adm, whatnot).
I am sorry but fingerprinting people arriving at airport is not a security measure. It is only used as a "tranquiliser" from your govt, to reassure people not using their brain that they are "fighting crime". And this certainly won't help crime in the US.
Disclaimer , from the reaction I am guessing you are from the US. Well, WTF why do I have to give a fingerprint to your governement every time I have to travel in the US ? Not even counting other data they get through APIS CAPS or whatever.
How would you feel if China actively was fighting against law in the US ? For example what if they start "fighting against the great drug firewall of the US" and publish method to avoid law enforcement to smuggle drug ? How would you feel (well I am sure some USian would feel happy but that is not the point you are hinting at).
On the paper I am sure it is a noble goal "freedom of speech" but de facto you are publishing way to go around china law. So how would you fee if China did the same to US law ?
This might sound like a troll, but this is an earnest question : many country are feeling sick of US interventionnism from its governement, or from its citizen... Furthermore , you know the proverb "do not do unto me what you would like to be done by me unto you".
PS: feel free to mod me as flamebait or troll, I always like irony (cue to the discussion theme).
Look at who has the most satellite in orbit, and who is a rising spacial power. Add 1 plus 1 : this is clearly a veiled threat to that eastern country, and quite a bitschslap for everybody else having a satellite in orbit. Thank you US military, for finding way of making up new weapon and threat where there was none before.
...over spilled milk. by now you should have long understood that a rewrite or new version of SW new ep 1-3 only belong to fantasy. frankly personaly re-release leave me cld. I would rather have new films like sequels.

Why SÉCAM in France?
Some have argued that the primary motivation for the development of SÉCAM in France was to protect French television equipment manufacturers. However, incompatibility had started with the earlier decision to uniquely adopt positive video modulation for French broadcast signals. In addition, SÉCAM development predates PAL. NTSC was considered undesirable in Europe because of its tint problem requiring an additional control, which SÉCAM and PAL solved.
Nonetheless, SÉCAM was partly developed for reasons of national pride. Henri de France's personal charisma and ambition may have been a contributing factor. PAL was developed by Telefunken, a German company, and in the post-war De Gaulle era there would have been much political resistance to dropping a French-developed system and adopting a German-developed one instead.
In other word, yes it was a questionof national pride, but no not against the US, more against the "north-east" neighbourgh which only 7 years before they had a war with... Not much to do with protectionism IMO. Would you , as an US ressident , have accepted the PAL standard ? Well apparently NO, sicne you use NTSC.
The MAJORITY of them are certainly no language major, and you can hear it when they speaks english (strong german accent and grammatic:)...). But they never had a problem pronuncing the w english sound like in We, Wii, Washington (no, they do not pronunce it vashington despite what you think and how many bloody indiana Jones film you saw). In other word your post about difficulty of pronuncing it is PURE BUNK. Now if this would have beeen the sound like in the word "thought" you would have a point. but it isn't.
Around here studennt association organize "book" fair/party at the start of new one so that student of the next year can buy book from the last year directly from the students. That work very nice.
For neurobiologist the debate is long over. IF they are scientific worth their salt they won't presuppose the existence of a "supplemental entity" like soul to explain our "selves", that is unless somebody bring the data which can't be explained without this so called "soul". hasn't happenned so far. Neurobiologist leave "soul" and other of those to religion and philosophy. As for free will, Since "we" are the sum of all our chemical reaction in the brain (again if you want to bring a 3rd identity in play like soul or conscience bring the data to prove it with), there is no such things as free will, only the illusion that those reaction give to the mass of neuron constituing that "we".
Bottom line is the debate is over, unless you bring data and evidence to the contrary, not explainable within current frame. Good luck on that...

Let us see your point one after one :
1) catching illegals immigrant.
Firstly I will ask you : how the hell fingerprinting is supposed to catch illegals. If you fingerprint you have them at hands. You can as well kick their ass out because they commited a felony (which imply fingerprinting already).
