Young people are more likely to use P2P than older people. Young people are more likely to be students/pupils than old people. Students are more likely to cheat in school than non-students. Correlations proves causation. News at 12.
Scratching is bound to happen to such a product. It actually adds a kins of used look to my iPod that I appreciate. I never understood people that put covers on their floors, couches, cellphones, iPods etc: what use is a mint-condition iPod in an ugly case? Like a high school friend of mine who never wore his good shoes - when he tried them the first time he had grown to large for them.
This was a story by BILD, the world's largest tabloid newspaper. It is nicely rebuked at Bildblog.de which is a meta-blog following BILD and exposing it's errors, bias and lies. The company ("Alphakat") simply develops a method to process waste as a kind of Bio-Diesel.
Grammer checkers aren't half as useful as spellcheckers. While most people regularly stumble upon words they don't immediately know how to spell, only the most useless dumbwits have grammar problems. It's because grammar is important not only for writing, but also in speech and therefore trained a lot more.
It would certainly reduce the number of errors like "would of", but people who write that are FUBAR anyway and shouldn't rely on software to get stuff like that right. The ability to write semi-competend is like breathing or eating: better done without artificial help.
P.S.: I've hidden 5 errors in this post. Check your grammar checker by finding them all.
Can you smoke in public? In Europe you can.
Can you go skinny dipping on the beach? In Europe you can.
Can you teach evolution free of religious influence in school? In Europe you can.
And concerning your points:
Are your basic rights outlined in your constition? Here in Germany they are. They are also in draft for the EU Constitution. It's just the british where it's a little different.
Can you buy a copy Mein Kampf? You can buy it used. You can't buy it new, because it's not printed any more. It's not printed any more because of copyright issues: the state of Bavaria has the copyright. But it's not banned.
Yes, there are some differences. In Europe, freedom is usually not given to those that want to abolish that very freedom. That's an ongoing discussion in both Europe and the US.
. If they lose they will basically have destroyed their player business - no-one is going to buy a product from a bunch of losers.
A rather ridiculous conspiracy theory. What consumer will ever even hear about this lawsuit? What consumer will care? You know how many lawsuits any large company has going on at any given time? It's probably in the hundreds, and they are bound to lose some of those. Nobody cares.
But who has a stake in this you ask. Creative, of course. They see themselves as a leading company in everything music/computer-related, and they can't stand Apple's success on their home turf. Microsoft isn't really afraid of Apple. They are not even competing in that market.
It certainly isn't, but I was replying to the GP which was talking about North American and Japan/China, therefore implying that he was confusing the place where a plane was being built (Japan) with the place where it would be used.
How are those figures supposed to support the term "reverse"? Would not "mitigate" be the better term, since the drug just improves test performance, slightly more so when tired?
It's software, not hardware, but this happened to me at 4 am, 4 hours before the launch of a very important project. I had just spend 6 hours importing old data into new software and wanted to delete the default User:
well, developing it in japan doesn't mean that they are planning to use it (only) there. There is certainly a market for this between all three major economic areas: North America, Europe, Asia. The Japanese will certainly be happy to sell it.
Besides, did they really make you eat 2 movies? Does it hurt?
The difference is that IM is always a network: the value of you being a part of it depends on the number of your friends being a part of it. You can get all the benefit of gmail even if the rest of the world stays with hotmail. But it's not very useful to be the only one in the world using google's supernew IM.
Of course, I'd expect google to easily tie in with the other networks, especially since clients such as adium have proven that it's not to difficult.
As someone else already said, I was talking about individual giving to mostly local causes, which is what this thread started out about: helping the poor in your community.
No, welfare distributed by the government is not at european levels (as I said in my first post) and government delevopment aid to the 3rd world isn't either, but that's something different. But if you want to talk about the 3rd world: individual volunteer work in organizations such as the Peace Corps is once again higher per capita in the US than in Europe.
I'm not american but german, but I've spent a lot of time in the US and believe you (and many other europeans) are misunderstanding some of the facts:
Americans are not opposed to helping the poor on a personal level. In fact, americans spent a lot more (absolute and as % of GDP) on charity than europeans. In my experience, americans also have a culture of doing volunteer work to an extend that doesn't exist in europe. For example, I've seen a complete new school building be built by the student's parents. Some gave money, some gave machines, some did the work.
What is different is the role of government in charity: while europeans see helping the poor mainly as a job of the state, americans do it themselves. If you look at the financial structure of shelters, soup kitchens but also museums and operas, you'll find that they are mostly financed by governments in europe, while they rely heavily on individual's contributions in the US.
So it's nearsighted to say that Americans don't want to help the poor. They simply don't want the government involved, want to do it on their own terms and want it to be seen as what it is, namely charity, and not as some god-given right of other people over one's own money.
Now, this doesn't mean there aren't some seriously crack-smocking right-wing jesus-nuts whose actions and words don't match. But that's another story.
Not yet. However, in the Job Description Starbucks' plans are mentioned:
" There will be a steady supply of snacks and ample caffeine replenishment through a partnership with Starbucks, which will be opening a store less than a kilometer away in early 2006."
What bugs me is that the G8 might have actually talked about African aid, farm subsidies, and global warming. At least that was the agenda by Blair. Now, well the terrorists are playing right into the hands of George Bush!
Please don't forget, that in this instance GWB was actually on the reasonable side in at least two of those three points: just like Blair, Bush opposes farm subsidies. And the canceling of 3. world debt decided a few weeks ago was also an american initiative. Concerning global warming, it even looked as if GWB might finally accept the relevant facts.

Do you remember Colonization? Why isn't there a sequel to that great game, it being even more addictive than Civ.
The ratio is actually 1 in 2, if I remember their ads correctly.

Which is exactly my point: Americans don't let their government redistribute their wealth. They rather do it themselves.

Actually, Cellphone-Losing is a function of volume, not length. So size should decrease by a factor of 10000000 (100^3).
There is a partnership between sony and apple regarding HD Video. Maybe that has something to do with it...

so, do you happen to have the phone number of this alice that does reverse engineering?
