I have been using XP since they came out without any antivirus or firewall solutions and I have been perfectly fine..unless you use IE6 to go to very murky files and download strange files, you should have no problem at all..
You see this is a very interesting problem because history teaches us that democratic governments don't really want to educate their people..
Which, of course, also reveals the second biggest problem with representational democracies (the first one is the public is stupid): elected officials, by nature, do not act in the interests of the people..
Me? I like the ideas Plato put forward in The Republic..a meritocratic oligarchy
I was about to give up in my quest to find someone that mentioned AvP...that game really managed to freak me out when playing as a marine..
The worst part is when you get plings from everywhere and they don't come...and then 2 minutes later they jump at you from everywhere..scary shit i tell ya!
Because I want everything to be up and running the moment I turn my screen on...I never close any of my programs (that includes digital audio and image manipulation software) because I want to have them accessible with one click...I also restart about once a month MAX, which leads to my programs almost never being shut down...
Hi, I'm half Swedish, half Greek..I have been living all my life in Greece and moved to Sweden 3 months ago..
The Swedish are so under-developed both in regards to "freedom" and "democracy" (that's a bullshit term when we actually mean representative democracies) that I find it really hard to comprehend how they can live like this..
Also, contrast to the UK..really cold, surveillance everywhere, "anti-terrorist" laws...I call shenanigans on your theory
And as we have ALL seen, this sharing with friends, reselling, and lending has destroyed the book industry, keeps authors in poverty and disencourages new and existing ones to write new books!
Us "lighties" are really a minority since dark matter (recently proven to exist) and dark energy dominate.
Sorry, but all that we have in regards to dark matter/energy is a number of stuff happening in the universe (such as the way galaxies rotate) that we can't really explain without adding a "we can't see it but it's there and it helps us explain stuff" factor...kinda like Plogiston if you think about it!
I was watching MSNBC's "to catch a predator", the sting operation where they lure pedophiles to a house thinking there's a 13 year old waiting, and then bust them.
Is that possible? Can you arrest people for just intending to do stuff over there? sick!
Look for games that allow handicaps to be set. Like the latest AoE, if you are both into RTS..
Handicap yourself to death..challenging for you and ultimately brings you both to approximately the same level of skill after playing around with the handicap values a bit..
Sorry to bother you and spark up this heated debate but this is a flaimbait i couldn't let go of.. You see, while the language the ancient macedonians used was different than the athenian dialect, which was the most wide-spread at the time, most linguists share the view that they are pretty closely related.
And while some of their traditions, etc might have been different from other greek city states, the dwdekatheon (the twelve gods - zeus etc.) is what they believed in too.
We mustn't forget that the rest of the greek city states allied with the macedonians in order to repel persian invasions..
Now on to the important thing..the people who are currently living in FYROM, are slavic and came to the balcan area at around the 6th century. The ancient macedonian empire fell at 148 BC. Their language is totaly different. What was most crazy was their initial flag..the naming is kinda OK with me i guess but come on, the Vergina Sun? that's stretching it a bit too far..
From the website: Thought Thieves is about people stealing and profiting from your creation or innovation. Think about it: how would you feel if you saw your hard work being passed off as the property of someone else? What would you do?
ALSO from the website: I will formally licence, on terms acceptable to Microsoft, all intellectual property rights in my film and agree to waive all moral rights in relation to my film if requested to do so.
"as international terrorism, kidnapping and money laundering."
Another blatant misuse of laws!
They make 'em for one purpose and then use 'em for another..
go figure!
27. Education is slavery, it enchains the mind and makes it a resource for class power. When the ruling class preaches the necessity of an education it invariably means an education in necessity. Education is not the same as knowledge. Nor is it the necessary means to acquire knowledge. Education is the organisation of knowledge within the constraints of scarcity. Education 'disciplines' knowledge, segregating it into homogenous 'fields', presided over by suitably 'qualified' guardians charged with policing the representation of the field. One may acquire an education, as if it were a thing, but one becomes knowledgeable, through a process of transformation. Knowledge, as such, is only ever partially captured by education, its practice always eludes and exceeds it.
I Guess McKenzie Wark knew something we didn't.......
Silence the scientists, the thinking ones.. Wouldn't that be the first step to take when creating an orwellian society? If you take out the thinking ones, you can do whatever you want.. Luckily enough i don't live in the US:D
"In the US, as in Europe, the people can choose "regime change" every five years, if they don't like the government." The problem is that people are simply too stupid, uneducated and/or unwilling to elect any "regine" that will be "good". Just as in 1984 (although to a much less extent), people are allowed freedom because they do not know how to use it! It is not the american government that holds prisoners at guantanamo bay, or tortures prisoners in Iraq, it's the people that elected that government and are about to elect the same government or another one just like it! Chinese people ARE worse off than americans but at least they are not liable for the stuff that their government is doing..

Does this immediate sickness after some movement rule out the development of zero-g sports being developed?
If it does, this sucks big time..
