.. because too many people can no longer even set foot on a tennis court without being out of breath we have substituted physical prowess in competition for mental reflex prowess. Pushing the human body to new heights is a sport, sitting on your ass in a chair isn't a sport. Counter Strike isn't a sport. Team Fortress 2 isn't a sport. It's a substitute activity for people either too fat or too lazy to go outside.
ANYONE HEALTHY PERSON CAUGHT PLAYING VIRTUAL TENNIS IN THE SUMMER SHOULD BE ARRESTED!
ANYONE HEALTHY PERSON CAUGHT PLAYING VIRTUAL BOWLING ANY TIME OF THE YEAR SHOULD BE ARRESTED!
Go outside people.
I'll buy that argument as soon as ESPN stops calling NASCAR a sport.
I'd venture if more nerds dropped the attitude of being into technology at the expense of all other interests, they'd probably have an easier time socially.

I'm going to sue hellion0 for not translating his post into Chinese. Think it will get dismissed before we even hit the door? How about any lawyer laughing you out of his office?
I'm suing you for racial insentivity!
Chinese isn't a language. Mandarin and Cantanese are.
That's the new cybermen. The old ones had become pure robot by the time the doctor met them, and had replaced their brains with computers.
No the new ones are the third incarnation and the ones with the eletronic brains are the second.
The original cybermen from "The Tenth Planet"
episode had organic brains still.
Wikipedia supports me on this. If you can find a more authorative source by all means bring it!
Despite all the pretense to "international law" the fact of the matter is that "might makes right." The mighty, which includes the UK, accept and apply international law when suits them and ignore it when it doesn't.
Your forgetting the other law of foriegn policy which is if you have no natural resources we don't care what you do or what you call yourself.
Sealand has a lot in common with several third world countries that way.
Sealand is no more an independent nation than my asshole is. Seriously, if the British took it out it would be no more than a blip on the road, if that. I doubt any but a few geeks would bitch or care.
I'm pretty sure the Russians where thinking the same thing when they invaided Gerogia.
Well, by that argument, most of the countries in the Middle East and Africa haven't got a snowflake's chance in hell of fighting off either the US, Russia or China. By that yard stick, they aren't sovereign either.
Exactly, why do you think we have soliders in Ira.....I mean middle eastern America?
I consider myself a fan of both Star Trek and Doctor Who and I don't remember the Borg meeting the Doctor. You need to turn in your geek card.

Instruct your geek card to start writing a haiku in preperation for it';s death.
The Cybermen were mechanically enchanced people who forced other's to join them by "upgrading" them. Replace the word upgrade with assimilate and you the Borg.
A) It's said that it makes you look bad. The 5th amendment is not a way to hide criminal activity, it's a fundamental way to protect freedom. You could help by not telling people that taking the 5th is a bad idea or indicates that you're hiding something.
B) "Looking bad" is generally considered a positive outcome vis-a-vis serving time in prison.
Ummm no.... The 5th ammendment won't save your from a search warrent or a discovery request in a civil case.
Can we please stop using the term "Oz" to refer to Australia, particularly in the context of film studios? There is an "Oz" series, which could lead to confusion, and someone searching for stories about Australia is unlikely to include "Oz" in their search.
Oh....that explains why no one thought to ask the wizard for help.
I've seen a bunch of "open source" game projects where the developers use pseudonyms to contribute. A few of these projects don't even have any contact information to get in touch with the developers. This basically makes their licensing pointless. Anyone can slap the GPL or a BSD-alike license on a bit of code, but it doesn't mean anything unless someone is willing to stand up and claim copyright on the code.. and that means a real human with a legal name. Throwing some code, that you value, out into the world without your name on it isn't philanthropy, it's just stupidity. If someone wants to shut down one of these projects, all they have to do is claim that they wrote it. They then can write up a DCMA takedown notice and the actual authors have no way to prove that they are the legitimate copyright owners.
Or you could just host the site outside of the US or better yet throw a torrent up. Without real legal names attached to your work your unlikely to get shutdown since they can't find you.

That's the problem, too many people assuming stuff.
Yeah I assummed that as well.

You mean the alt f4 thing?
Go ahead and press it.

Public nusance!
Did the neighbors complain?

Learn how to use the apostrophe.
My poor grammar only highlights the depth of my rage.
and it is presumed that God is on their side...
Read the Bible, having God on your side can be beaten by iron chariots. (Judges 1:19)
God's people loose battles but win wars.
Wonderful! Then there isn't a single sovereign nation outside of the US
Now you your getting it.
Now if you'll excuse me Fox News is on.

The Cybermen?
The fact that this isn't immediately obvious to everyone here weaknes my hope for humanity.
I know what you mean, if it weren't for that rape policy at work..
You mean customer service policy...

RIAA cares?
Because Blizzard has the money to fight back. Bulleys only pick on people weaker than themselves.

No. The most-likely problem is the ISP
I doubt they'll try this as every WOW player in Australia would not longer be able to update their game.

That was all foreign aid of course.
This guy GOT IT! Anyone else who didn't needs a life.
Anyway, RIAA is getting what's coming to them, finally.
No I'm pretty sure we're the ones that need a life.
