quite a few muds probably do have some kind of organzation, same as a volunteer-run sportsclub. No idea what the legal term is, but it does offer some small advantages.
McD's indeed serves lukewarm coffee, which is why I don't drink the stuff. 85 degrees(about 170F) is the normal serving temperature for coffee, and ideal temperature for making coffee is between 95 and 98 degrees. Go look it up, I can't be bothered to get the link. Now it's time to wait for someone to sue McD's for selling lukewarm coffee that should be hot. At least THAT would make sense..
bah.. not high IQ.. just an IQ higher than that of a peanut. Unfortunately this seems to be a rarity.

don't worry about deep linking. there have been several cases about deep linking in both the US and europe, and all concluded that it was allowed. Some companies do see it as copyright infringement though...but they see everything as a copyright violation nowadays..
it is possible that amazon germany isn't allowed anymore to send personal data to amazon US. see my earlier post for a very short explanation.
countries in the EU actually have laws protecting your privacy...
By reading this post you declare that you fully understand this post. We DEMAND that you CEASE and DESIST any and all uses of the word 'Gladiator' or any of the letters contained in the word 'Gladiator'. Your infringement of copyright is punishable under the DMCA or some obscure little piece of law that we managed to sneak in when congress wasn't looking. We also demand that you provide to us ALL adresses in your possession, as you have had the opportunity to alert them to the existence of the word 'Gladiator'.
almost? from a european standpoint these eternal threats with lawsuits are getting increasingly funny. Just about daily, I read about (tm)(r)(c) sueing someone who offers an added value to their product. yup. it's funny. but it may just be my sense of humour, which at times is decidedly strange...
since they can't export personal data to countries with insufficient privacy law. The US does not have satisfactory privacy-protection, but if a company has a good enough privacy-statement, you CAN export personal data to that company. But this may be a big mistake by amazon.. not that they'll loose me as a customer.. I prefer my local bookstore.
you need a creditcard for paypal. creditcards in the netherlands are not very well accepted: they are seen as unsafe and unnecessary, and not without reason. any creditcard based service will fail.
indeed. only rarely does the legal system initiate legal action.. it's usually corporations who just want the worst of all worlds. we'll take a bit of DMCA, add some irani press-restrictions, and sue a european in china for the death-penalty..
I have been known to be wrong, but I think it's even illegal to sell a zoned DVD player in new zealand...and with a bit of luck some more countries too.
look at it with lynx, this gives a decent idea what a blind person 'sees'. Most browsing by blind people is not with a voice browser, but with a braille unit. it's simply a lot faster. As for it being a bit late to tell IBM: they should have complied with the law in the first place.
ofcourse. it's the american(tm) way. Destroy something of worth rather than letting someone else have it. I could think of a few uses, and most do not involve shipping to the third world. Orphanages, homes for the elderly, hospitals, etc.

actually, in the Roman empire, if you 'were someone' you did not speak latin. latin was the language of the 'plebs', the commoners. If you 'was someone', you spoke greek. The romans kept in mind where they found a lot of their culture:)

>So... what happens when one cop's pretending to be the vendor and another is pretending to be the alcohol/cigarette-buying minor?
>Who gets to bust whom?
the seller gets to arrest the buyer, for the buyer had a fake ID, saying he was a minor.
