Both of them. Ours for not repairing all the shit we've done to the colonized people and their lands and theirs for not acting in the interest of their people. Reason: greed.

butcher knife you use to cut your meat is illegal.
How do they cut meat and other things then in china?

Why? I just lost 18 kg in the last 4 months, more and I'll be invisible. And from my visits to malaysia I know that I like the chinese food very much (always gained weight when I was there).
It's a cold winter over there right now.
Over where in china? I imagine that a country this big will have different climate zones.:-)

This is Slashdot, the correct term is "Leatherman". But how does it improve your safety?
You simply can't produce a modern science fiction/fantasy show on Network TV (i.e. acceptably mainstream production values) AND please die-hards of a beloved franchise who want it to be treated with respect.
You can. LOTR was told undoable by lots fo people for a long time, too. And if you can't then simply do not do it instead of delivering crap like ENT. That is why I said "let die what shall die".
Compared to TNG: Yes. I must admit, I'm spoiled by Patrick Stewart. If compared to TOS, the acting is OK.:-)
Look and feel?!
Yes, that is one of the main mistakes they made. Something that takes place before TOS mustn't have the look & feel of being more close to TNG in the timeline.
Did any of you WATCH The Original Series?!
Sure. Except some from VOY and DS9 I have seen all Star Trek episodes until the first few ENT.
Would YOU watch a new show that has crappier sets than Kirk had, so it could "feel" like it took place before him?
Noone claims the whole set should be made crappier than TOS (if that's possible). But all the Phasers, Tricorders, the control panels in the ship and so on should have been designed in a way that most people just "know" where ENT takes place in the timeline, just as we "know" which TV set is from 1960 and which is from 2000.
The opening credits are one big annoyance. One central characteristic of Roddenberry's ST universe is that mankind lives together in peace and harmony and has left behind all the bullshit of differencing people after race, nation, etc. This US-patriotic stuff (WTF has the star spangled banner to do with Star Trek?) really shows how they fucked thing up, creating credits standing so much in opposition to what Star Trek stands for.
I wonder when the 1,3G Chinese people will be fed up enough with their dictators pretending to be communists that they get rid of them at last.
Although banning games is useless meddling with symptoms, I normally can grok the intention behind (like trying to reduce violence by banning violent games). But in Sims 2 there is no violence, no sex, no [anything harmful] at all!

However, the assertion that one can't be bound by a contract that's agreed to by clicking a button on a computer screen I have a problem with. Why should your bank trust their computer when it says you want to transfer money to someone else's account, if computers are so untrustworthy that they can't be used to enter into binding contracts?
Online banking: I log on to the system with my account number and PIN. For every little thing I do, I need to enter a TAN. So, it is pretty sure that the guy doing the online banking is you or at least someone who has gotten the data from you (with or without your knowing or consent).
Software: I buy the package, take it home and install it.
Do you see the difference?

I have read this c't. And I think I remember that this AGB-like thing only applied when you buy the software directly from the manufacturer. This is so, because when you buy e. g. MS Office in a store, the only contract made is the sales contract between you and the store. Even if I saw the Office-EULA before buying it, there is no contract between MS and me, unless the store belongs to MS.

Many people don't believe these clickthrough EULAs to be enforceable contracts.
And in Germany they are 100 percent correct. After all, a contract requires a clear volition from all parties. And a click on a virtual button or opening the shrinkwrap is not sufficient for that, as you can't even tell who made the click (maybe my cat stepped over the keyboard while I was out of the room).
Slashdot Mirror

Both of them. Ours for not repairing all the shit we've done to the colonized people and their lands and theirs for not acting in the interest of their people. Reason: greed.
I, for my european self, welcome our new Polish overlords in the EU. :-)
Jokes aside, it is really still this hard?
In Germany, you propably won't really need such an envelope in your entire life.

Other way round here: the PCs NICs are connected to the phone (Siemens system). When the phone goes down, the network connection is down, too.

Tibet was conquered fair and square by China.
Please explain to me the fairness in raiding other people, stealing their whole country and suppressing them even more than the own population.
And that sort of analogy is the same as critizising Iraq for invading Kuwait or Israel for stealing land from Egypt and Jordan.
