    Next I suppose you're going to tell me that the guy who claims he ordered (and received) a 37" LCD TV for $7.99 due to a price mistake is lying, too.

    Believe it or not I actually did order and receive an nvidia graphics card worth around $150-$200 for around $2 from the most popular online shop in Turkey. I was banging my head on the wall when i recieved it that i did not order more than one. They never realized the problem and the same account i received the item is still active.

  9. Re:Been There, Done That on Getting an IT Job in Europe as an American · · Score: 1

    This conversation became too centric on Americans. When i said Americans i was merely giving an on topic example. Its not that I hate every US citisen, I am trying to point out that every person is responsible for his governments actions. I am trying to tell that any person as a citisen should try anything he can to force his or her government in the right direction. Of course everytime a President gets elected the ones who didnt vote for him shouldnt start shouting immediately(assuming it has been a democratic election) But shouldnt stay silent about anything he does too. When you say i am not the one killing them blame bush, you are basically supporting his actions by your non action.
    Yes the logic behind Al-Qaida's actions are right i think, but the actions themselves are unacceptable. I do not think ignorance should be punished by death. But as I said ignorant people are not innocent either.
    lets talk about my situation for example, north part of cyprus(thats where i live) is controlled by turkish military, there are elections but the elections are controlled by military too. These people supposedly came here to protect our constitutional rights and restore democracy in 1974!(sounds familiar? yeah exactly like US going to iraq) Now how would you feel if you were in my situation and a guy from turkey told you that i am not responsible man, its my governors.
    what do i feel? they are resposible and they are hurting the people here. I wouldnt kill a person from turkey for this reason but i dont know what an iraqi would feel about this. I at least came from the same origins with the guy from turkey. We speak the same language. But for an iraqi, his family is killed by US soldiers that say they are there for their sake. Now how would _you_ feel if you were in his place? "dont hate this soldiers they are ordered by superiors" "dont hate the superior he is ordered by president" "dont hate the americans, only hate half of them which voted for bush" "dont hate the other half they didnt vote for him, even if they are turning their heads elsewhere when the tv is showing a wounded civilian executed right there!"
    And please dont label me as a muslim who would support other muslims no matter what. I am an atheist, I dont have sympathy for any relegion, especially not islam. But I am a humanist, any good person around the world deserves the same good life. And if I am not doing anything about it I am responsible for their lack of good life.

    Do some research before commenting please. The answer to your question wont be as you expect. I am living in the turkish _occupied_ area. In occupation there is only illusion of democracy. And yes we all do go out and protest in unbelievable amount of people. About 200thousand people live in north cyprus, and our protests reach to 80thousand. Now do the math and find the ration. Then multiply this ratio to US population, now do you see how _we_ protest?
    And please do not talk about a democratically elected president shit. Your democratically elected president is democratically killik iraqi people and democratically replacing the governors of their democracy.
    If you dont show that you dont agree, he will continue. And you will be part of it by not trying to stop him. Only casting your vote is not enough to change his direction.

    couldn't it also be said that citizens in dictatorships have the ability to revolt? And their lack of revolting is essentially an acceptance of the dictatorship and its policies?
    yes thats exactly what i mean, here is a quote(attributed to Einstein) : The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it

    If you are a US citizen yes you set US government policy. You have right to vote, you have right to orginise or attend public demonstration, you have right to encourage any other citisen to vote for your choice etc. Exercising or ignoring these rights leads to the same result: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR GOVERNMENTS POLICY!

    "off the top of my head I can't think of any other comic books that were redone for a completely different culture. Anyone?"

    Here is a little list of Turkish remakes extracted from here
    • Spiderman (1966! welcome to the club india :)
    • 3 Super Men(1973 featuring Spiderman(yet again), Captain America and El Santo)
    • Batman (1973)
    • Superman (1971,1972,1979)

    I am sure that this list is far from complete, because in times of Yesilcam(kinda like boolywood for turkey) low budget comics based films were one of the most popular genre.

    I don't know about the released version but you don't need to download faad codec for the cvs version; its already included. From the docs:

    "2.2.2.8 AAC codec

    AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is an audio codec sometimes found in MOV and MP4 files. An open source decoder called FAAD is available from AudioCoding.com. MPlayer includes libfaad 2.0RC1, so you do not need to get it separately.
