Well, I can tell you, this changed nearly completely, since the beginning of the Bush era. Most people in whole Europe (NOT a country btw.) do not blindly side with the USA anymore. Even with the traditional media working hard to reinstate that state.
They can try to charge all they want. I don't know anybody who still buys music. Most of them could not even play it back anymore. Much less would be able to change their mind.
ACTA is a supernova. But a supernova still annihilates the star it comes from. It's the death cry of a dying industry.
One layer can be slower than two layers, when that one layer is fatter. All that stuff is just guessing from indirect values. You can guess stuff from it. Nothing more. And you also can be totally wrong.
So sorry, but "can" is not "is", and thereby is not enough.
Oh, and please do not assume I would take any side on this, because I point out errors. That would be very childish behavior.
The whole thing is a joke. It was his job to handle child pornography cases. He left, because he was disgusted with the way it is handled now.
And another group of politicians made his special rights vanish in the blink of an eye, so that he could not react, and they had a window for suing him. It was all staged. Interestingly, that very group is known from the "Sachsen-Affäre". A large-scale scandal, where it is proven that they took private advantages, bribes (while in office), did illegal spying, human trafficking, child prostitution and drug dealing. And guess what happened to them. Exactly. Nothing.
So the wolf is the shepherd here, and I guess you can pretty much bet, that the point of this law (at least partially) is to protect them.
UPDATE: Good news: The Pirate Party accepted his membership. So now we have a Pirate in parliament!. Yay!
Everytime someone argues with a generalized statement or "all X is Y" or similar: Just stop the conversation, and move on. Except for some real physical laws of course. You can maybe point out his failure. But usually it will not help much.
First he will drag you down to his level. And then he will beat you with experience.
But I don't think that in Japanese, "blasphemous" is even a normally known word. You know, except from the USA, some areas in South America, and some Arabic countries, religious topics are just something that nobody really cares about. A cross is just two pieces of wood or metal. We would get what was meant. But we would just say "So what?", yawn, and move on.:)
Sure, I was shocked, and laughed my ass off, at the same time, when... I came out of a bar, and thought what was being drunk, would be one of the many (many) bugs of the game, and because of that tried to press some button to get it going again, fell on the ground, accidentally pressed the shoot button, and shot my girlfriend in the head. She was dead on the place.
Needless to say, that I am very happy that this wasn't real life, and that virtual worlds exist.:D
Well, I would certainly counter-sue. With a ton of charges, including being a mafia, Internet terrorism, and being an enemy of the state. Something will stick.:D

Do you by any chance buy Monster cables, and a wooden volume knob, because it "sounds better"?
I'm sorry, but without proper ABX tests, I do not believe a single word of this table. And about the latency: Please enlighten us, how you actually measured them?
Well, the best thing at all, is to always go trough wireless lan connections, that you use without a contract. (Coffee shop, and, well, the other kind.) Never use one twice, but choose the next one with a true random function, except if you can prove that they can't find where you sit.
Trough that connection, set up all your stuff. A site, and other accounts. It should be obvious that you never enter any real information, or even the same information. (Especially true for passwords.)
If you want te be really paranoid, then don't trust *any* data that is coming to you over the net. Even if it's your mom supposedlly being in a situation of life and death. Or anything supposedly coming from anywhere. The best thing would be, to block all incoming packets at all. But I doubt this will work without patching your kernel... which does not pose a problem, does it?
And to put a cherry on top of it, encrypt your whole hard disk, disable all external media, write some constantly changing random noise to your display and you ram, and constantly move all used blocks to somewhere else too. Do not use a keyboard, but a touch screen. Keyboards can be listened to. And use a keyfile on an usb stick that you can destroy in a second, always and everywhere. Encrypt that keyfile with a passphrase, that you have to enter on boot. Make it so, that pulling the stick instantly overwrites the used memory blocks and the screen image with noise.
Oh, and: Do not *ever* sleep, and always look in all directions at the same time.
It's nearly *too* easy!
P.S.: Do not forget your double-layered vacuum-"filled" tinfoil full-body space suit.
Oh, and they *would* notice. Because then we could finally use all CSS features. Which would mean, they would see better looking pages. And in case they would switch back... Seeing how nothing works... They *would* notice!:)
So? It will start all their families and friends to revolt too. Do you want to shoot them too? To make even more people revolt?
Do it, and fuel a full-scale bloody revolution. I also bet, some of them will be in millitary, or have friends there. So good luck with the army protecting you. ^^
If there will be war (against the government), we will win. Period.:)

Hey, that movie was a great comment on today's civilization. I would call it an important film.
I know many things worse than death.
So I say, bring it on!
I my plan is successful, I will be able to battle a small government (not on any front you may think about now) in some years anyway.
Yes, but did he actually measure this?

His membership got accepted by the Pirate Party!
We now have an active Pirate in the parliament.
I wonder how the next Bundestag elections will end. I have the feeling, that this is the start of something big!

Can you explain that to a non-native speaker?
I know the term stems from "mad"/"madness", but that is not enough to "truly boggle the mind", is it?

I get your point.

Well, about their affection to underage girls... I think this picture makes it pretty clear:

Inspired by this very sick and NSFAnything image:

Sorry, but I think, whoever did this image, deserves to rot in hell. (Yes, nobody got hurt. But: Seriously?? WTF!)
So this is where the term "Jacking off" comes from? I mean the C64's joystick, and...
...a supermodel... of a huge, ugly dragon boss. ^^
You can tell that I do not find her very attractive, can you? ;)
Now I know what I missed in GTA IV's story-line.
Sure, I was shocked, and laughed my ass off, at the same time, when...
I came out of a bar, and thought what was being drunk, would be one of the many (many) bugs of the game,
and because of that tried to press some button to get it going again, fell on the ground, accidentally pressed the shoot button,

Wait for the MediaSentry ProtectionSquad to invade the house and plant a computer in there. Some tiny laptop.
And wait for the following lawsuit needing a professor, before it comes clear that the laptop was built after the start of the original lawsuit. ;)
If that's his fetish... why not?
Rule 34 baby!
Because all your *other* base are belong to US!
So organ harvesting and trafficking will flourish?

Why would you deliberately cripple Firefox?
Oh, and they *would* notice. Because then we could finally use all CSS features. Which would mean, they would see better looking pages. And in case they would switch back... Seeing how nothing works... They *would* notice! :)
You should realize, that it's your "if (IE)" that lets them act that way in the first place.
Imagine if Google, Yahoo, Youtube, and so on, were completely unusable under IE. Its browser share would fall to below 1% in a matter of days.
But this way, the circle closes, everyone blames the other, and nothing changes. Leaving MS grinning at our stupidity.
I stopped supporting IE AT ALL. Yes I may lose retard clients/visitors who still use it. But who wants to support them anyway?
Now it's your turn.
Or you can complain for the rest of your life, like with politics, or everything else. It's your choice. Stop making up excuses.
So? It will start all their families and friends to revolt too. Do you want to shoot them too? To make even more people revolt?
Do it, and fuel a full-scale bloody revolution.
I also bet, some of them will be in millitary, or have friends there.
So good luck with the army protecting you. ^^
If there will be war (against the government), we will win. Period. :)
Well, wondering does not change a thing, does it?
We should organize a million people march to the government. Taking them down. And reinstating the constitution.
