You are aware that 'money sniffing dogs' exist, just like drug sniffing dogs, they search for money. Also the more places you put your money, the more places are likely to fail and once they found one place, you can be sure they will tear the house down.
I would go with a hidden room, like places in the basement where sicko pedo rapist hide children. They can hide them for years and even a house search can keep it hidden
Well, the main thing is that it was a "spectacle film". That's an almost unheard-of genre, especially nowadays.
I have mod points, but I already commented. Otherwise I would have modded as funny as sarcastic is not an option.
In case you where serious: I would say almost every movie you see now is about an archetypal storyline and a huge focus on scenery and special effects.
Concerning Stanley Kubrick: I hope you include only things when he was alive, because Eyes Wide Shut is about the only movie wanted to leave the theater. It could have been great if he would have been around to finish it.
How we do it. If we do not like party one or party two, we go to party three, four, five, six.... So the answer is a multi-party system.
Also we have unions, but we can choose what union we go to if we want. e.g. in Belgium there are three large unions and I can go to each of them. I even can select not to join a union and I would still be having the same identical rights as anybody else who is in any of the unions.
It will result in more workplaces with extremely limited internet access, or access only through a kiosk.
And the problem with that is...? So you can't use the Internet for personal usage. I have no problem with that as long as the usage for business is not limited. e.g have a simple fast and good way to add sites to the whitelist.
I could imagine having a simple website where you request a site to be added and these can then later be reviewed and either permanently added to the blacklist or to the whitelist. Access will be allowed immediately. So if a person is asking for porn sites all the time, there will be an issue and that person can be talked to.
Also have public PCs available at certain places that have all the public access, so people who won't be able to go without reading their personal email for 8 hours will be able to do so.
At 25 we are already at 700GB, so well below the number 1. I get that with mainly upload (It is usage, not download) of Linux torrents. This is done over a one payment period of one month. July is a holiday month. So there are many ways to explain this.
To me these numbers mean absolutely nothing. They are anomaly in any statistic. I bet the bottom 25 are 0 or close to 0. The theoretical maximum is about 22TB. The average of the top 25 is roughly 1TB. And again, these are the top 25 users of a provider. I am sure many cable providers who look at their top 25 will see similar or higher numbers.
Telenet recently went from capped to "free" download where "free" means you can download 150% of the average user. It used to be 60GB. Nobody knows what the average is. Could be less then 60GB, could be more then 60GB.
But one thing is for sure, this person raised the average for everybody. Good job.
OTOH I can imagine Telenet just charging for this and the user could well be a professional user working in advertising or in any other type of business where a lot of data is transferred.
Photographs taken of anything from the street must surely be allowed on the grounds that there's no reasonable expectation of privacy if your building is situated on a public right of way?
When I am on the street, I did not trow away any rights. I still should be expected to have certain privacy. e.g. NOT have pictures of me place online.
Something like some countries have a law against taking pictures in a court or the full name of accused people. That does not stop freedom of the press. You can still send a journalist there.
And just because something is legal does not make it right to do so.
Germany is a democracy. People voted for their government and this once that government sets their people before a company (They also do more things that the people do NOT like, but those are separate issues)
His cause is to ensure that what is currently legal remains legal, so that (among other things) bloggers and an independent press can continue to take photographs and publish them.
No, he is being a douche. If he wanted to fight for freedom of the press, he would just pick one building (if possible his own) and do it with that.
These people asked to be removed from that specific database for whatever reason. People want to have much more privacy and their elected government is wanting to give that to them. He is just being a prick.
So the people do not WANT the pictures to be taken. They WANT to limit the freedom of the press. Both by law AND by own choice. I am one of those people who do believe in privacy more then in _absolute_ freedom of the press.
I could not cope with a couple hundred friends. I would not even call then friends, but acquaintances. I could have gone there and the majority would have been on a 'how are you now?' basis. I do not have the need for a large group of people and many that have played a very important part in my life have gone out of sight.
I do not call that sad. I feel very lucky to have known them and by moving on meeting others.
I also rather keep in contact one-on-one. None of my friends have a FB account and also none of my family (and we live in different countries). We can call, email or just meet somewhere for a good dinner and/or drink.
I don't know why anyone would put any real data into a service like Facebook.
Because most people have no understanding about what the consequences might be. Apart from the first year or so online, I have used an alias especially to separate real life and online things. Basically because I know people will drag stuff out of context.
I had an facebook account just to see what it was and got even to the point of having 100 people as 'friends'. Basically people I have no idea of what to say to in real life. So I had no idea why I had them as 'friends'. I guess the number of people on your list is like a pissing contest.
Anyway: there was only one other person who did not use her own name and that was because she was stalked by her ex and she would want to use her own name. And yes a real name IS real data. And all the other information that people put out there is amazing.
Just ask one of these people to go to a complete stranger in a pub or on the street and tell them the information they just hared with the world and they will think you are crazy or they are natural attention whores.
It just amazes me how much we are willing to give away everything that is related to our privacy.
Advertisement is one of the least things I am worried about. What I am worried about is that nobody really cares about privacy. Not really. Many people think that if you are in public, you do not have a right on privacy. Many people think that if you give it away, it is your right and not a big issue.
However I try to do my best to not only think about my privacy, but about others as well, just as I would think about other peoples freedom and not just my own.
People knew not only about the stupid shit you did. People knew the context. People knew the non-stupid things. And people would forget. People knew you. And still they did not know everything.
Now people who have no idea on who you are will see stuff completely out of context and will base their opinion about you. And who knows, something that is normal now will be frowned upon when these kids get older/ Things change and those standard things will be frowned upon and could hinder you.
I am not sure what will happen. I hope for the best and I fear for the worst.
So you expect children to be responsible? Wow. And then you want to train them to stay nicely within the lines. I think what you suggest is even worse then people learning about some stupid thing I have done. You suggest the totalitarian society. Very scary.
And the children of then are now the people who post here as "But I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD and with me it is true. I am the exception". If there are so many people diagnosed with the same issue, there is something going on. The reason also is that people think way to good of their children:"It is unpossible my kid got an F. Must be the teachers fault."
Well, when I got home and got an F. I got a spanking (Yeah, my parents hit me.) for not doing well enough. Nobody had ADD/ADHD. There were stupid kids and smart kids. Stupid kids had to redo the year and became the workforce. Smart kids went on to university and became the managers and doctors. Sometimes it was the other way around.
You are lucky that you were smart enough to ask the question. Imagine if you had not. It disgusts me that neither the director nor the teacher had the insight of understanding that.
I can guarantee you this. I would not be an engineer today if I did not have stimulants when I was a kid in elementary school on through high school.
Then you would have become something else. In my day and age if you were hyper active, you would run around a bit more outside. Can't pay attention in class? No higher education and that is the end of that.

Perhaps they are talking about cutting the light of the laser to a specific length. Presto light saber.

This is it
If they do not remove it upon request, I am sure they will.
Sure there is an alternative to DRM. Deliver the game with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget about the game!
With real world, I assume you mean this world. ET is not from around here.

So what we have in Europe is choice.
And the problem with that is ...? So you can't use the Internet for personal usage. I have no problem with that as long as the usage for business is not limited. e.g have a simple fast and good way to add sites to the whitelist.

That basis should be enough.
Could be or he is a business user.
The rest of the top 25 (original in Dutch: http://userbase.be/nieuws/telecom/366-telenet-publiceert-top-25-grootste-downloaders) is well below that. These are the top 25 users of that provider.
At 25 we are already at 700GB, so well below the number 1. I get that with mainly upload (It is usage, not download) of Linux torrents. This is done over a one payment period of one month. July is a holiday month. So there are many ways to explain this.

Read the article, you are not a special case. ;-)
Then you would have become something else. In my day and age if you were hyper active, you would run around a bit more outside. Can't pay attention in class? No higher education and that is the end of that.
By now you would have grown out of it as well.
Apparently you have no idea how many monkeys I have. Unfortunately they keep coming up with Hamlet and not any kind of code.
