Not knowing the details of how the European numerical system works isn't being blind to the rest of the world. Believe it or not, the European numerical standards (the use of decimal points and commas) isn't common knowledge outside of Europe. To believe otherwise is to be elitist.
This shouldnt however stop the major laws being enforced on an even handed basis.
Yet. How long until people hire "private investigators" to investigate a crime and then pass the evidence onto the police? Sounds like a good thing. Until you realise that poor people can't afford this.
As the movie companies are paying for enforcing the law in this case yes, thats fine.
Ooooh. This just sits wrong with me. It's a case of the rich being able to afford to have laws upheld. Been raped and want the criminal brought to justice? Throw money at the system and it shall be done. Want a murderer to be brought to justice? If you're rich it will happen, if you're poor no-one cares.
b)For websites and the like, people will simply seek out free content which is available in quantity. Bob starts charging micropayments for his webcomic. Bob witnesses most of his readers disappearing into the woodwork. Jane, Sally, and Joe notice little bumps in their traffic logs.
Don't know much about webcomics do you? Several webcomic artists use a donations scheme and manage to get quite a few donations. Some actually charge for their content and guess what. People pay it. Some webcomic artists are able to LIVE off their webcomics. That's how much money they get.
To say people will just read other webcomics shows a lack of understanding of the webcomic industry. No, not all webcomics can do this, but some do. More could to with micropayments.
America went to war because it believed Iraq had WMDs. It claimed to know where the WMDs were depsite the UN not being able to find any. It's been 1 year and no WMDs have been found. Logical conclusion, there were no WMDs.
Saying Iraq was a problem and it had to be taken care of is beside the point. America went to war because of WMDs that don't exist. When America started the war, the WMDs were the reason used. Nothing else. You can't say afterwards we went to war for other reasons.
Nothing better ever be half-cleaned

Everyone wants someone else to do it. And then say how bad society is if no-one does it. Perhaps if everyone stopped wanting someone else to do it, it would get done? Naaawh. That can't work:P
Your heading suggests that you aren't too sure if C3PO was indeed fictional. I advise you wait until your sure of something before posting it, because we here at Slashdot have a standard. That standard dictates you be 110% sure your right? I think that's the standard anyway.
You no longer have the right to bare arms. So hold still while we chop them off. That's right, your arms can be used to kill. Thankfully your right to keep them attached your body is in the constitution. They won't ever try to change anything in the constitution. oh wait...

Was that an attempt at sarcasm? If so you failed.

Last time I post after 2am.

In reality employers get away with breaking oral contracts all the time. Sad I know, because my family have been on the brunt of it, but it's true.
If you don't know the intracies of the Euorpean numerical system you have blinders on your eyes. How Insightful.
How do you know the reporter found the correct person? He found SOMEONE who sent A version and CLAIMED to have started it when asked.

Write out prescriptions: Just create a program that prints random characters. It's just as understandable as real ones.
Road-work construction: Have you ever seen one of those guys do anything but stand around?
Bank teller: oh wait. They already do that one.
Be President: Seriously. Could a computer do a worse job then the current president?
Considering the fact that Computers have more sickies then people I think we're safe for the time being.
His Score already said he was redundant, I'm sure you didn't need to make a post saying as much.
Spider-man Australia: 10 times more deadlier then before, 100 times more drunk then before.
until they ban camcorders from public places where street performers are likely to be performing.
I prefer a woman who just has to stand to be able to give you a bj. The term "walking blowjob" comes to mind.
Can we have a list of people whose screen-names were sold?
What about me? My name's John Smith!

Here's a good link for people who don't know what links are.

Seriously. The parent sounds like a valid application of this technology.
we prefer the term reality-challenged.

Hey, I had to make a joke about something. 3 other people took my tin-foil hat joke
