What in hell do they mean by that? Google encourages you to use it to sell product and services with its 'keyword ads'. And do they really mean that NO commercial entity should be using Google to inform consumers about their products and services? That's a rather badly worded terms of service, IMHO.
Canada has no better drug legislation than America. It basically says: If the drug is made in Canada, you MUST buy it in Canada - no importing. Great way to introduce new competition and bring down costs.
I don't think it's because you're searching from Switzerland. I typed it in on the main page (google.com) and still got searchking.de, and i'm in the UK.
In all fairness, SearchKing seems to have a point. Despite the search criteria 'searchking' being typed in, searchking.com isn't even listed on the first page of results like you'd expect it to be. I presume this is something to do with google's pageranking algorithms, whereby more heavily visited sites get listed higher up?
Actually, it's pretty hard to immunize kids in the UK against M,M,R with individual jabs now; I saw on the news some time ago that the company that made one of the individual jabs (measles?) had stopped shipping it to the UK and that stocks were ruinning out. So it's becoming MMR, or nothing.
but the person next to you in the checkout queue may have jsut arrived from a part of the world where they kill 10% of children under 5.
Methinks you're mistaking Japan for China. They don't do that in Japan. And if a load of children had been dying from M, M or R, we'd have heard about it in the news.
There may be a genetic reason for the tendancy of "opposites attract".
Is that a tendancy? I'm not sure it's true. I'm far more attracted to people who either are like me, or like the things I like. I don't want to go out with someone who talks about Friends all the time.:-) *waits for the flames to come*
That depends on what your defenition of evil is. I hate to be so cliché and quote a dicionary defenition but...
evil Pronunciation Key (vl) adj. eviler, evilest 1. Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant. 2. Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful: the evil effects of a poor diet. 3. Characterized by or indicating future misfortune; ominous: evil omens. 4. Bad or blameworthy by report; infamous: an evil reputation. 5. Characterized by anger or spite; malicious: an evil temper.
Actually, by many definitions of evil, Microsoft and the RIAA can easily be defined as being evil. It can be argued that they are morally bad/wrong, that they cause ruin (or try to) to people who don't have the money to pay their artificially high licensing costs; it can definately be said that many people regard them as bad/blameworthy by report, and many of their 'temper tantrum' legal actions seem full of anger and spite.
So don't just say they're not evil without looking up the defenition first.
If they don't care WHO gives them money, why aren't they trying to impose 'pay per play' charges equally on terrestrial broadcasts, as well as webcasts? Or if they can't work out how many listeners a terrestrial station has, at least start charging them per song as opposed to a flat rate yearly charge? They do *indeed* seem to be picking on webcasters.
This is all very well, but no one seems to consider that TV4 could just not show their film *at all*. They'd rather have it not shown, than have some a breaks and make a shitload of money out of it? Sounds mad to me.

Ever considered that.eu could also stand for 'Europe'?
Elsewhere in the entertainment industry, this is the point at which lawyers would come knocking on Le's door. But gamers tend to have a less rigid notion of intellectual property. Not only does Valve, the Kirkland, Wash., software company that makes Half-Life, give away the game's basic programming code for free, but it also releases the software tools needed to hack it.
That sounds so refreshing. Wouldn't it just be *nice* to hear that coming from a large software company for a change???
Erm, well I think you're BT-bashing a bit too much there. I can get BT's ADSL in the town where I live, and could even before in the VILLAGE where I lived. I realise that many can't, and I am in the south east, but BT *are* making considerable efforts to roll out ADSL.
Sorry if this is a bit OT, but there was a console at one time called the PC-Engine (I forget menufacturer). Judging by the name, was this because all it was was a standardized set of PC hardware components? Or am I totally wrong?:-D
I think it is conceded that too many people fall for the US government's smokescreen of democracy for there to be a 'War Of Independence II'; without which, there will always be people in power willing to sell legislation.
They may take in the second largest number of immigrants per head, but that's irrelevant; Australia has a miniscule population considering its landmass, smaller than that of London by a long way. What's important is the number of immigrants taken in per square mile of the country. Compare that to most other countries, and you start to realise why they need big detention centres. OK so you were one of the lucky ones (or unlucky, depending on how you see it) - that doesn't disprove my point at all.
I tried to un-install AOL from my dad's computer once, did it without asking him.:-) He went psycho, giving me stuff like 'I need my AOL!!!', 'Where's my AOL???'
See, if people learnt to use REGULAR ISPs, they wouldn't become so dependent on one piece of software. Now he's been assimilated with it for life, like a Borg drone.
This point about sending the stuff back was addresses above. Apparently you CAN'T send them back (for free) - they will just be thrown away, costing AOL nothing, so sending back will do nothing. Wasted time.
I disagree. Slashdot may have many anti-MS supporters, but it is an _open forum_. Any Microsoft employee can come here and say what they wish, no post is 100% censored. Do MS allow a voice of opposition, a neutral forum, in their anti-*nix ads or rhetoric? I think not.
In all fairness, what can the government do about it? It sounds like a pretty damn good system to me, and some abuse seems inevitable. Better than having to pay your uni fees yourself, leaving you with an enormous debt at 21, as they're doing in the US, and now here in the UK as well.
Canada integrates people into its society. Part of the integration is adapting to their culture, and having their culture adapt to ours.
Australia operates under exactly the same philosophy, and long may she continue. But as recent events have shown, some cultures are more adaptable than others. Here's a particularly nauseating quote from a mainstream Islamic press article about "cultural assimilation"
I have to comment on this. As nauseating as some Islamic extremist comments are, Australia does NOT operate under any sembelance of an 'integrationist' policy. They take any immigrant, put them in an inhumane detention centre (if they're lucky enough not to just be turned away), and deport them ASAP. This is why no one tries to immigrate to Australia nowadays. All this happens whilst the mainstream Australian public sit by and largely support it. They're some of the most xenophobic people in the world, i'm afraid.

So when exactly did North and South Korea divide then? I know there was a civil war... any historians?
