For fuck's sake: it's *France* we're speaking about, not *Sweeden*. Do no mix them. Both countries happen to work less than 36 hours a week. BUT only the second one actually gets things done. The first one has a massive tendency to consider "on strike"/"public demonstrations" as a soft of national sport.
It's called democracy, you unutterable twat.
Would you like to live somewhere that banned all forms of dissent against our corporate overlords? There's a word for that sort of system.
You seem to be expressing two contradictory things; you're saying "such videos should not be removed", but then you're saying "Don't let them on TV or radio, or Internet. Fight them behind the curtains." Surely if we're not letting them on the internet, that means removing their videos?
It's pretty obvious he meant that news organisations shouldn't give them air time, show clips from their videos, etc..
It goes back to Margaret Thatcher ordering the BBC not to use Republicans own voices in TV interviews in order to deny them the "oxygen of publicity". In that case, it was a decision that backfired spectacularly as it actually provoked sympathy for the people being censored.
With ISIL/Daesh, just explaining what they are doing is more than enough to convince people that they are utterly evil. You don't need to show their propaganda films.
unless your phone is rooted, most android phones come with Facebook built-in. I don't think it's up there by choice.
My HTC has Facebook built-in, but that doesn't mean I use it. If I don't have a facebook account or don't enter my account details, what is it going to do?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I assumed these figures were based on people who are actually using the apps, not just on the number of installations.
Oh, and yes I know I should root the phone and delete all the crap, but I just can't be bothered. It's a phone with a couple of useful gizmos, not something I want to spend time on.
To me the story is that beyond the inherent racism in treating all Muslims as potential terrorists (thanks Trump, etc), this kid was a Sikh, not a Muslim. So not only are Americans dumb enough to mistake a phone charger for a bomb, we can't even get our multiple racisms straight.
I don't think racists would exclude other people from other religions from their blanket accusation of terrorism, just as long as they've got brown skin.
Remember the corporate police force out of Robocop? In the UK they have a corporate police force, being the City of London Corporation's private police force. And they kick in doors all over the country, together with other corporate representatives (and sometimes a token member of the local police force, to add legimitacy and not to step too much on their toes).
My understanding is that the City of London police are just another police force, like the Metropolitan Police. They are not some private security firm.
Doesn't the UK have some pretty nasty defamation-type laws? I would think a single mistake that results in such a suit (win or lose) would cost a retailer decades worth of "shrinkage."
The UK is supposed to be a good place for rich people to sue each other, but unlike in the US ordinary people don't get very high damages here, as you don't get ridiculously inflated amounts for psychological trauma or whatever.
I know this is a bit nit-picky, but it feels very un-Slashdot-like to not attribute an idea to its origins, which in the case of 'precrime' would be the Philip K. Dick story on which the aforementioned movie is based.
Eventually everything worth watching will be based on a Phillp K Dick story,
As well as everything not worth watching.
He is one of the most erratic writers who ever lived.
Personally, I don't want to be stalked by security or barred from every major retailer in the county just because, for instance, my girlfriend's ex has a chip on his shoulder and a position as security guard.
Yes, because obviously every employee of every shop will be allowed unlimited access to the sytem with no checks on their actions at all.
I was going to say that at least we don't shoot black people just for, well, being black.
But just the other day we did.
Shooting an armed professional criminal is not the same thing as shooting a random teenager on his way home from school..
The police here in the UK are not perfect, but they are a thousand times better than in the US in terms of numbers of mistaken shootings of minority groups.
So you don't think it's possible for an innocent person to be put on the list (or any list) either through accident, incompetence or malice?
It is self evident that you need some sort of oversight on this, and the ability for people to challenge mistakes. But it's not like the shopkeepers can arrest you and chuck you in prison with no evidence.
It's just like if you get barred from a pub. If the landlord mistakenly thought you started a fight and threw you out, you can always go and reason with him later. If he won't see sense, you find a different pub to go to, and eventually so will everyone else if he carries on being an arsehole.
There is a fundamental difference between the State monitoring you and imposing legal sanctions including imprisonment, and a private business trying to reduce the amount of stock that goes walkabout.
True. However, the problem can come from a retailer deciding that you were too much of a pain in the ass when you were doing a return, or you wanted to use a coupon that they didn't want to honor or maybe you got a little loud when they promised to hold something for you and you got down there to find out it was sold anyway. So to get back at you, they put you on "the list" and now your life is a raging sea when you try to go shopping for anything around town.
Yes, because most retailers' main purpose is to turn people away rather than selling them stuff.
Its creepy as hell and needs to be made illegal yesterday.
Anything that keeps shoplifters away, including professionals who steal on order, keeps prices down for everyone. Maybe you can explain what your problem is.
It's probably something to do with the evils of socialism and the right to bear arms. Most stories on slashdot are nowadays.

On slashdot, it is traditional to post pictures of your "products" when you advertise them.
The next time might involve bombs designed to go off when the schools are being searched so as to endanger the people looking for them.
This was one of the reasons the PIRA during the Troubles liked to give some sort of bomb warning: it meant that they got to kill some police or Army personnel rather than random civilians, which was in theory better from a public relations point of view.

Becoming "radicalized" is not a magical thing that will happen to you by watching these videos.
Nobody's saying it is. However, it is equally wrong to say that they have no effect at all on impressionable people.
You're probably one of those people who think they aren't influenced by advertising.
I'm a consultant - I convert gibberish into cash-flow.
I didn't realise initially that you meant cash flow for yourself rather than your customers.

Not only that, but apparently an adaptation of TMIAHM is already in the works, but with the title "Uprising."
I thought they were going to call the adaptation of TMIAHM "Uprising".
The story has already been done by the best.
That book has the most irritating narrative voice I've ever come across. I barely managed to finish it.
But of course it's about plucky libertarians standing up to Evil Government, so everyone on slashdot loves it.
This is why mundanes don't bother with PCs and just get consoles.
Christ you're a wanker.

Feel free to prove otherwise.

Whatever the issues with this system, it's nothing to do with giving Teh Evil Government more powers to lock you up.

Nah, I'm for it. I'm also for wearing things to obscure your face.
I would ban this in my shop. I do not have to serve people who walk in with Swastika tattoos on their face either.
The fact is, gang sweeps by that community are currently a high impact crime in the UK that has become increasingly prominent in recent years
Yes, but without providing some actual figures to back this up, you just sound like another Daily Mail bigot.

During the War, Russians made wood artillery base mockup. Germans dutyfully bombed that mockup using... wooden bombs!
Sounds legit.
