This is a stupid argument because it is so extremely simple to figure out when to shoot down an aircraft with a SAM anyway. You already know the approximate time when it will takeoff since that is public knowledge since the passengers needs to know. Most airports has only one or two runways. You can easily figure out in which direction the plane is going to start (it will start at the same direction as the ones before it, probably into the wind). Now you can simply put ourself outside the airport at the point where the plane will fly right over you at a low altitude off perhaps a couple off hundred yards. The guys that photos planes position them self correct every time with this knowledge.
The reality is that aircrafts is extremely exposed and easy to shoot down with SAMs since it is easy to get them during landing and takeoff and you can't fence off an area big enough to protect them.
No, both election is proportional. The only difference is that the participation in the election to the EU parliament is perhaps 50% while 80% votes in the national election. So it is much harder to get the necessary votes in the national election.
Will this be an follow up on the Galaxy phone? That is, will it be released with outdated and buggy software that Samsung promise to NOT upgrade? Will they after pressure release different version of buggy updates to a still old version in different countries? Will it crash, be prone to screen errors and to slow to use? Will Samsung ignore all complaints? Will the only bright light be the unpaid hackers who makes their own version of the OS?
I bought the Galaxy phone and have sworn to never again buy a phone from Samsung. I now have a HTC Desire and the difference between these products can't be described by words alone.
And how should the 3rd party (the site like Youtube or Slashdot) know what material that a user owns the rights to and are allowed to upload? The only ones who possible can know that is the one who upload the content or the guy (RIAA or MPAA) that claims that they own copyright for it.
A law like this would make it impossible to allow any site where a user can upload content. No more Flickr, no more Facebook, no more Slashdot...
Ok. Sorry, I was wrong then. But they still need to pass the 4% of the popular vote to get become a party in the Riksdag and they don't look like they will get more than about half that.
Please do. If you find any Swedish secrets we would sure want to know. Some thing we would like to know about is: *) What did happen in the government during the tsunami in Thailand? Why do we need to keep these e-mails secret for 50 years? *) What did happen to Raul Wallenberg? *) Why is a big part of the Palme murder still classified? *) Why can't we all see the old Stasi files handed over from Germany? *) Did we really had submarines here during the cold war and where they US or Soviet?
But this immunity is regarding the European parliament - not the Swedish. I looked the Swedish immunity up and it only covers things done in the services as a parliamentarian (or something like that, it is hard to translate). I am very unsure if it could be stretched to hosting servers.
The Pirate party isn't a part of the Swedish government. They are not even a party in the parliament.
I would be very interesting to see an American military assault on Sweden however. Would you bomb Stockholm or make an amphibious landing? How would that look? The only remaining superpower beats up a democratic country with 9 million citizens.... Should the Swedish Afghanistan force start firing on their US allies as retaliation?
No, the Pirate Party isn't represented in the Swedish Parliament. They are represented in the European Parliament. Also, I have never heard of any thing called "parliament immunity" in Sweden. The best legal protection you can get in Sweden is to start a newspaper and this is what Wikileak also is thinking of doing.
Yep - now they will wait to shut down any servers before the third sunday in september... After that all bets are off. Look how they strategically placed the TPB trail after the election.
True. I am Swedish and as the pirate bay trial have showed us, you don't even need to buy the justice here. You can simply bribe the police with the minister of justice thinking its a good idea and choose your pals as judges. In the US at least you have to pay for it - here you can get it for free buy having the right friends in politic.
Please - you need to differ from what the EU want and the people of EU want. EU isn't a democratic organization. It is headed by an unelected elite of appointed commissioners and most decisions is taken by the a council which is made up of the different national governments. The direct appointed parliament has very little power. The people is never asked about anything since we constantly vote against the elite in referendums.
Question: could we use this to grow ONE brain?

I think the most valid question is this: can this technology be used to grow ONE brain in people that lacks one, like politicians?
Who cares if the iPhones API "moves fast"? 99% of the applications out there doesn't need these new features. They only need the basic functionality that they could get from the Flash export. And in what way is it BAD to be able to make crossplatform software? If people wants to develop using a certain crossplatform solution, I don't understand why you and Apple should ban them? Is it because your "app" wouldn't be as "special" if it is also available for Win7 mobile and Android users?
If it is so easy to compete with Photoshop, why isn't anyone doing it and doing it good? The only real competitor I can think of now is Corel and they are not doing great at all. Why would Apple succeed where several other have failed?
I don't understand what you don't understand. What I mean is that the payment that the customer makes for a newspaper only covers printing and distribution. All things other is paid for by the advertisers.
I don't think you know the company I worked for because they are a Swedish publisher
I worked for a newspaper conglomerate for several years. The only thing the customer pays for is the printing and shipping. Everything else is paid for by advertising. Everyone works that way.
If you don't understand the pressure you have when you own one nations debts, please read this Wikipedia article that describes how USA with economic pressure ended United Kingdoms status as world power in 1956: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis
That action of an "allied" power should learn each person how important financial power is and clearly tell you why the Chinese owns USA.
Economic sanctions against China? Are we talking about the country called "Peoples republic of China"? A country that export tons off stuff towards USA and Europe? The country that owns billions in US treasury bonds?
I don't know why you where denied to vote but why we wasn't allowed to vote in my country was simple - they was afraid we would vote "wrong" as we did when we voted against the Euro (which now seems to be the best decision ever!)....

The US have the death penalty which is a gross violation off the inalienable rights - the right to life.

Big media doesn't want user generated content because they don't own it and don't make any money from it.
And how should the 3rd party (the site like Youtube or Slashdot) know what material that a user owns the rights to and are allowed to upload? The only ones who possible can know that is the one who upload the content or the guy (RIAA or MPAA) that claims that they own copyright for it.

No, there will be no economic sanctions.
But Ikea is actually a company owned by a foundation based in Holland and owned by a guy living in Switzerland.
