Sigh, yes I know it was meant to be trolling, nevertheless once again:
Some people work. You know that time consuming thingy which earns you money. Therefore some people have more money than time and don't want to spent hours upon hours running around and killing beginner level monsters just to be able to compete and do more interesting quests. Therefore they think its A Good Idea(TM) to pay some pimple faced geek who hasn't seen daylight in years for doing that no-fun stuff for them.
Money for invested time. Good concept, rather common too
Nope, it's European companies whining "*sniff*Want that too, *cry*moving to the US otherwise, *dissolving in tears* thousands of jobs lost.
The next day they have their legislation because noone seems to realize that the corporations would have at least as much to lose as the countries they'd leave
Cuteness has its place, but it's a real pain finding the right app most of the time
Why is it harder that way, imho it's the other way round most apps from KDE are named K*what that fscking app does*
Let's assume a new user uses KDE and sees in the app-menu kmail, kwrite, ksirc, mutt, pico and bitchX - which apps do you think he'll use when he needs one? Having K... or G... respectively makes it much easier for new users to find the appropriate app that works well with their DE and power-users can keep their l33t recursive acronyms =)
As far as we're aware, there's no further speed jump on the existing family of chips, built using a.13Â (micron) process technology. Intel will shrink the size of the forthcoming "Prescott" chip to 90 nanometers

No, mpeg is a complete framework, mpeg-4 specifies some codecs (ie what a decoder has to do to decode a compliant bitstream, you can decide how you want to encode it which is probably what you meant), a file format (a.mov look-a-like) and myriads of other stuff
Did I mention it is *really*,*really*,*really* redundant
And the parent is so stupid to assume a highly complex system would be done by someone who isn't even able to figure out problems so simple that some half-wits on/. saw them in the 5 seconds between reading the story and hitting the reply button. stupidreally, stupid. Really. Stupid.
Whoever modded the parent. That's *not* funny =) I'd be surprised if they didn't make shiploads (perhaps somewhat smaller than the Titanic =) of money with all that stuff
That doesn't sound too convincing, I'd imagine ppl said the same thing about the 747, the first airplane with more than 100 seats, probably even the first with 10
What this law effectively does, is that in return for ME saying what I want to, it forces ME to listen to YOU, and furthermore makes sure everyone who listens to ME *also* listens to YOU.
No, in return for you saying what you want to, it forces you to mention that the party you were talking about has also something to say.
You don't have to listen to their reply, noone else has to listen to them, it just has to be available
The Council of Ministers, and, to a larger extent, the Commission hold all power.
Actually it's the other way around. The Commission is only enforcing and implementing the will of the Council of Ministers
Sorry to update you on that, but France is the 4th biggest economy in the world.
I assume you compared the GDP values in the factbook but the cia world factbook uses PPP and therefore the top5 would be 1. USA 2. China 3. Japan 4. India 5. Germany.
I don't know about absolute numbers as the Euro got much stronger recently
I don't play fps that much but I'd imagine that most have a replay function to prerecord an arbitrary path which you could then play on every card; that way you'd have a fair comparison and no possibility to cheat like nvidia apparently did
1652 to 2003, that are 350 years (approx) which means about 14 generations with each generation the number of your ancestors doubles so we're talking about 2^13=8192 ancestors of yours in that time.
One of them was a hero, how many were not? =)
Other thing, did he have children in Europe? (Even if he didn't a great number of his fellow freedom fighters probably had) There are thousands of Europeans alive today who descend from them (I'm pretty sure you could find someone important among them)
And I'm pretty sure that the relatives of the people in the 747 which looked too much like a ballistic missile will accept that explanation too and be proud that their friends and relatives have sacrificed themselves for the greater goal.
I know that a civilian aircraft behaves completely different from a missile but I'm not so sure that 10 years down the road we won't hear statements why in some crucial part they looked similar to the SDI after all.
Even more so I think that SDI is probably the most useless way to throw money out of the window.
There's no chance that it will ever be capable of intercepting enough missiles to stop a first or second strike by one of the bigger nuclear powers and all current and future members of the Axis of Evil(TM) just have to put their bomb in a container and send it by ship. 99% are never controlled before they reach the harbor
It's amusing that the descendants of those who created and allowed the tyranny to exist now lecture me on freedom and liberty.
Well as I see it your ancestors left Europe to flee the tyranny. Not only didn't they fight against it and therefore allow the tyranny to continue, no the parents of your ancestors also stayed there and were probably indistinguishable from the rest of the people. It's amusing that the descendants of those whose ancestors created and allowed the tyranny to exist now lecture me on freedom and liberty. It's even more amusing that Americans always have to refer to events all more than half a century ago to find something they can be proud of.
(Not to mention that most emigration was for economic reasons. If you're ancestors weren't some of the original puritans chances are that they left a overcrowded Europe in the search of the land of milk and honey and not the land of the free)
Yes. The U.S. helped our former European allies via lend lease. But without the millions of U.S. troops sent to England to create the Western Front, the Russians would have lost the war. England alone wasn't capable of doing anything but defending itself.
Place the millions of German troops who fought in the West on the eastern front and suddenly, the Nazis are right back at the doors of Moscow.
The German army was retreating since early 1943 as far as I know
On D-Day the Red Army had already reached the Polish border

Guess what, it would rock even more if they'd had the sense to build the Turbo S Beetle with a simple audio-in =)

TREATY ESTABLISHING A CONSTITUTION FOR EUROPE
TITLE IX: UNION MEMBERSHIP
Article 59: Voluntary withdrawal from the Union
1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the European Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.

Unfortunately for trolls everywhere it *is* possible to leave the Union according to the new constitution
you only have to look at the laws proposed by the EU to see how bad it is
You know that most stuff you see currently had to be passed unanimously by the heads of state or the appropriate ministers respectively, don't you?
The next day they have their legislation because noone seems to realize that the corporations would have at least as much to lose as the countries they'd leave

While you pointed that out correctly you forgot the obligatory rant how the article shows the depravity of M$ and the RIAA =)
And Chipzilla is also re-assuring its customers that its next generation chip, the so-called Prescott, is on track for a Q3 introduction, despite earlier wobbles that suggested it might retreat into Q4. In fact, general availability of the Prescott at speeds of 3.40GHz will fall into the fourth quarter

OK, perhaps I'm blind or the only one here not watching CNN 24/7 but I couldn't find a transcript of said comments on CNN.
Could anyone tell me please? thx.
Where it's implemented usually the court decides the distribution of the legal fees to prevent such stunts
It is wrong
