Government banning violent video games in Venezuela?!?
At least in video games it's virtual violence.
Perhaps it's due to a guilty conscience that they are putting this in place. Any other explanation would simply make my head implode due to the density of hippocrasy.
Funny though how all thought stops when you "think of the children!" (tm)
most terrorists are well educated people from well to do backgrounds
You know what's interesting about that statement? It's the same in the west.
Q. What types generally join the whole GreenPeace/Anti Capitalism/Freiheit fuer alle! terrorism/anti-establishment groups in the west?
A. Generally rich little brats, who have had the silver spoon thrust so deep down their throats that they don't really know what it's like to live in the real world, or to make a buck, but rather feel guilty that they happened to win on the birth lottery.
I bet you that you can find similar trends in behaviour in groups like the aforementioned, plus PETA et al, stopping short only when it's about blowing yourself up.
Suicide bombing is only a few brain washing sessions more than our "rebels" right now. A good education, PLUS the removal of this insane guilt that society feels when we are successful is what needs to be looked at to help against recruiting the next suicide bombers.
That and bankrupting terrorist groups, which seems to be working quite well.
But remember, it's a weight thing. As a student, I was a pretty strong guy, so my 12+ law and computer science text books (think big as a damn phone book) slowed me down. I would have hated to be one of those little petite girls half my size who had to lug the same amount around. Either that or have to share text books etc in lectures and tutorials, which is not ideal since you've paid for the damn thing anyway.
Yep. Be prepared to move in, as this is how the powers that be would like you to live, both in your home, and in your cubicle. Now get in line consumer and spend spend spend! Virtual glass baubles and beads of course. They are better for the environment.
Here in Australia, the Commonwealth Bank does exactly this. If you are entering a new account to transfer money to, it will send out a confirmation SMS with a code to your phone. The next time you transfer within a bound of amount to a particular account, it assumes that this account is OK to transfer to, thus reducing the inconvenience of the number confirmation system, and saving the bank an SMS.
No security system is perfect, and there will always be a way around anything you do, but intelligent security layers like this hinder the chances of a cash mule being sent dud money, as every transaction and every piece of security is handled at the mid tier, and the web page remains a dumb client, simply passing information to be confirmed to a trusted server.
That a simple sentence meant in the correct context and inflection in English gets translated and interpreted by some religious crazy over there who calls Jihad on my ass.
e.g. The forcast says that it will be a bit warm in the desert today.

Yes the tinfoil hat brigade is going to have a field day.

I can guarantee that it won't run Duke Nukem Forever.

I am sure that such a gentleman would not be using the venacular "poop".
I thought that day went quick!
Easy one. Just start wearing a tin foil hat. I'm sure some kind soul here would be more than willing to help you out!

Unfortunately, I don't think it's intended to silence Conroy.
15 seconds per slide for a total of just 5 minutes.
It'd be advantageous to all of our family's sanity if Aunty Jane and Uncle Joe's holiday slides presentation had that rule....
Tin foil hat?
There's an app for that too!
I'd never trust a statistic I didn't make up myself.
I'm Australian you colonial bastard!
Exactly you can find it right between the unaffordium and the baloneyum.
Well, unfortunately that's not the worst of it. Merely *suggesting* the possibility of open source should make you a pirate.

And now we play the waiting game...

I keeeeel you now!
What does the sheep on 'Perl Cookbook' have to do with anything?
Maybe mutton for dinner?!?
Exactly. And busy getting paid for it, just like farmers get paid not to grow crops. :)
The system works.
Hi, my name's Bob, and I used to be a drone pilot.
No, the virgins are replaced with blow up dolls.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is CGI? My first thought was Photoshop!
I guess real life looks less real to me than special effects these days.
