  1. Conspiracy or not on Did Sweden Pay Cambodia For the Pirate Bay Co-founder? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I highly doubt that the Swedish government would have such a great interest in Svartholm that they would pay to get him extradited. Also how much aid was given to Cambodia before Svartholm was arrested? Unless that figure was close to zero I fail to see how Sweden payed for his extradition.

    But thats probably not the case for majority of people, especially girls who usually don't understand why their boyfriends/husbands want a huge HDTV..

    Yes because women and girls are so dumb, am I right? My girlfriend was just as excited as I was when we got our HDTV to play Xbox on.

  4. Re:Employment Adjustments on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A Toyota shop near me introduced 30h working week for it staff. They kept the same pay but worked 6h days instead of 8h. Guess what productivity went up, the shop had longer opening hours 12h (2 shift) vs 8h (1 shift). People got sick less, fewer mistakes were done, customers were happier and revenue went up.

    As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air however slight lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

  9. Re:The name is wrong... on Challenging the Child Online Protection Act · · Score: 1

    How come you allow bills to be named? Is there any need to refer to the bills as "Protection for small puppies and orphanages" when in reality that bill wants to allow searches of homes without warrants. Even if it makes it easier to remember, than bill #13224114 it's seems to me that it's only abused anyway.

    I doubt anyone will be put off from buying a finished product because their experience with the beta was bad.

    And so far all major upgrades to OS X has been worth the price, they have all added major improvements and features. Which leads me to think that few will think that "Hay this beta doesn't do X, that's it Apple won't be getting my money anymore!"

    You think they should bring the websites back online since PD is coming out for xbox. But thanks for correcting me. I only got the necklace login, but I found out the other when searching for the holy grail cheats. I wonder how many people are still looking for cheats in PD, those in Goldeneye was a mistake, they intended to remove them before it shipped it was used only for beta testing.
