Unemployed computer programmer Eden Strang had a go with a samurai sword.
Of course if americans had their way, he would have been armed with an automatic weapon and killed many people, but having a sword was disturbing enough!
Another computer programmer (well student anyway) from croydon is being held without charge in some land confiscated during some war started by a newspaper magnate to sell papers that apparently is not part of any country (Guantanamo bay).
Hmm, croydon nerds aren't coming out very well in this. The first person in the world to be convicted of writing a virus (Chris Pile) also worked for a croydon company... and one of the last people to be hanged in the UK in 1953 Derek Bentley (last was 1964) came from here too...
The people at Crawfish were great, and it's a real shame for Cameron and the others that this happened, despite them releasing world-beating games. I really wish them well for their next enterprises.
The views on what is permissible for kids to see vary from country to country, and on their behaviour.
For example in Japan they have vending machines in the street that sell alcohol, tobacco, porn, etc. I imagine that in some countries the children might not be well-behaved and might use such machines even if they were underage!
The drinking age is 16 in Germany. I understand in the USA they still have prohibition in many places, and in other places you have to be over 21.
The EU has different views to the US wrt gays (it is legal throughout EU, but illegal in many US states), death penalty (not allowed in peace time in EU), hate speech/free speech (e.g. german laws about mentioning the war), availability of firearms (compare UK with the US, where they give you a free gun when you open a bank account!), and some (e.g. Sweden) think that brainwashing kids to buy toys is unacceptable too.
So many of the things that the US thinks are kid-safe will not be acceptable to other countries, and many things that other countries think are kid-safe will not be acceptable to the US.

for a similar project to Project Gutenberg, to provide access to untainted versions of classical music (scores and lyrics) so that some megacorp can't claim that they actually wrote Bach's toccata&fugue in d minor etc.
IANAL but I think national laws vary on this. In the USA you cannot sing a song someone else wrote (e.g. Happy Birthday, owned by AOL) without paying them, but in the UK you can (perhaps we have more freedom of speech over here). Many pub bands play covers of commercial songs, which is OK as long as they are not recorded or broadcast. I don't know the situation in Finland.
So can I as an individual get an injunction on the dozen or so USian citizens who are harassing me each day by sending me all that tripe? I could if they were physically present when doing it...
they just had a wicca festival in my local town. About five christians came outside to protest (they were hoping for more) but gave up because of the miserable british weather:-)
Which phoenix (browser)? The open-source one or the embedded one made by the well-known company? Or do you think they only make one product at that company?
If the actual figure is 80 in-use phones per inhabitant, that does not necessarily mean 80% of people have phones, since some people have several phones (e.g. home/work or new model/slightly unfashionable model or network A/network B (admittedly the last can be just achieved using different SIM cards)).
Take a look at Neuschwanstein castle. They didn't even finish decorating it because it was so expensive (and King Ludwig took an unexpected swim with the fishes) but the bits they finished are quite tasty; some rooms took several years to decorate.

Born 1890. Started franchising KFC when he was 65 years old. died 1980
So real yes, but dead.
Well at gatwick airport they seem to be a specialty, getting hundreds of thousands/millions of pounds of foreign currency. :-(

Lynx ate batteries. GameGear ate batteries. Luckily technology has improved since then - batteries seem cheaper and colour screens are less hungry.

Melbourne in particular has been well known in producing games for the last 20 years.

Absolutely.
Apparently the dividing line goes near Pingvellir, the location of the original Icelandic parliament.
Judging from this web site, quite a few.
How about a graphics processor?
That sounds more like a trademark than copyright. Remember that you can even trademark a single colour (for use in your line of business).
Yes.

At least most british males have not had their genitals mutilated when they were babies just in a misguided attempt to make them enjoy sex less.

kids throwing gas cylinders at local trams so its only a matter of time if the track goes under a highway bridge...
is what you see when they do documentaries on the kalahari desert etc. With supplies and stuff in the back.

Argh! Sega arcade games... they were still displaying hi-res cross-hatched "glass" years after everyone else had heard of translucent polygons.
