People are far to quick to cry foul and scream censorship.
they aren't prevented from doing the edits, they just have to do it in THEIR OWN TIME. government computers and resources are not there to contribute to wikipedia.
Well, thinking australia is a military outpost for america is common misconception even among australian's, so i can hardly blame forgieners for having no clue.
the fact is, we are no more an outpost for america then they are for us or any other allies.
as far as culture goes, it's hardly suprising we take a lot of it in, we are an english nation surrounded by asian's, and their culture is so alien to us it's hard to even comphrend a lot of it, so it's hardly a suprise we don't embrace it as much.
I guess i stand corrected - his big mouth is still running at any and every oppertunity.
Funny though that he is taking some kind of high ground. still even though it's been proven in court that nothing belonging to SCO has been infringed on.
i guess when you bankrupt a multi million dollar company you look for any excuse you can find...
Darl your not some crusader for IP rights, your just a greedy slob who thought OSS was a soft target and inspite of being warned against it, went on the attack and got your ass handed to you.
There are already shitloads of better phones then the iphone. all of them unlocked and in the EU.
And apple aren't locked out, they have every oppertunity to supply the iphone as long as they play by the laws of the country they are trading in, just like everyone else.
This is score one for consumers, by disallowing stupid vendor lock in.
EU is the land of unlocked phones and your trying to tell us THEIR the ones with a lack of choice? are you seriously suggesting that a locked phone == more choice?
if you believe such things, then i have some moon land to sell you....
what are you dense or something? apple isn't holding france to ransom over the iphone, apple is missing out on sales in france. you have the issue back to front my friend.
Heroes is a good show, people will pay for it. i reckon of those 1.5million pirate downloads atleast 1/2 would pay $2 an ep. to download it.
that's 1.5million per ep. just in download revenue in just one country. 24 shows to a season, that's the same amount of sales as most movies take at the box office.
i'd say i learnt 50% of what i know about pc's and technology in general on equipment that is still out there and working today, and that can be had for $50 or less.
3rd world kids don't need a fancy new fucking laptop.
This is what happens when you dare to speak the truth, don't worry i'm plenty used to it by now. As you said i cited a source, gave my reasons. yet i'm still a troll.
so i guess that the moral of the story isn't to cook up such stupid ideas, put a price tag on it and THEN try make the project fit the price tag. it's poor managment if i ever saw it.
things cost as much as they are going to cost. I can annouce the $100 aeroplan with 100% first class seating for all, but it's still going to cost more then $100 no matter how much i wish otherwise.
TV has unfortunately glorified criminals to a certain extent. in the real world they are just stupid thugs without 2 brain cells to rub together, hence why our jails are so full.
typical drop out " yeah i could have done that advanced calc class, but it was just too boring"
BULLSHIT. life is not one big exicting attention grabbing event one after the other, like it or not kiddies, there's boring bits and plenty of hardwork involved.
bring back more repetition and more of the black board and stop trying to pander to wet behind the ears teenage brats. they have to earn their fucking dues, and all the time in the world playing with their wii won't help them.
We can all look forward to the day when sony can wipe our memories, because i know i can listen to a song and replay it in my mind, therefore making a copy in my own memory.
obviously this is stealing since i should only be allowed to enjoy said content once, and only from an approved device.
I'm so sick of some asshole telling me I need to save this or save that. so fucking what? language has ALWAYS evolved, it's not static and it's not sacrosanct.
comparing language changing to decreasing bio diversity is one of the top 5 most retarded analogies i've heard.
What crap. the bottom line companies don't release it is they don't want to pay shittons of money to write a software app for their business then have their competitors come along and use it for free.
I'm not suprised that the obviousness of this escapes many of the OSS crowd, who tend to not have any grasp of what a business needs or how a commercial entity "thinks"

2. It makes no difference, it's a work place like any other.
3. The actions of a few ruining it for everyone? NOW WAY MAN!!!!! welcome to the world.
2. the work place is not a democracy 3. they haven't given up any rights at all - they can still edit to their hearts content FROM HOME.

are they so strict? judging by the plague of anime crap all over the internet it doesn't seem like it....
don't be stupid and think japan is a small place, it's actually quiet large, not your small island at all.
your also ignoring the fact many EU countries with less dense populations have better access then the USA. explain that one away genius.

i bet buried in the fine print you'll see that color fading isn't covered under the warranty.
Then the people who speak them now need to do something about it - not demand that the rest of us do something.

yet more flawed finding from some bozo - not news.
