If you live in the US, you can be arrested and jailed for *years*, because a policeman says he thought he smelt cannabis smoke coming from your house.
Really? How, I am quite confused this could happen do you have any source at all for this? Or is this something that you are making up based purely on speculation?
I mean the bigger issue here, is that you are defending censorship by saying look at that other country is more evil then us then what we are doing! You need to remember that freedom of speech is a two way street. Once you start blocking things it becomes a very slippery slope.

By everyone locking down their wifi you provide credibility to the claim that an IP equals a perpetrator.
If I were to say, brute force your WPA2 using my graphics card, you would have a harder time making your case than if your wifi was open and it could have been anyone.
I care more about protecting the innocent than persecuting criminals I guess.
That approach does not hold up in court, at least in the US. For instance, you have an open WIFI connection that someone uses to download child porn. You claim, but I didn't download the porn, somebody else did. That is true, you only distributed it, since it did flow to your device and then out again. Not a very smart strategy, if you ask me.
Have any sources at all for that or are you just theory-crafting?
If MS actually stopped all unlicenced use of Windows then they'd soon be a minority OS, they rely on piracy to give them the bulk of the desktop market share. How many people do you know who've actually bought a copy of Windows? It's mostly OEM installations,
OEM installations are not pirated copies they are completely legal and have been paid for and officially bought. Not to mention how many companies are out there running Microsoft Windows in business with Site licenses.
It's mostly OEM installations, and when it stops working most people have it replaced by an unlicensed version by a "mate with a disc".
Secondly that statement doesn't make sense either. When the average user computer breaks down they really do 2 options.
1. Go to a computer repair shop.
2. Get an IT/Computer person to fix it.
If either one them are compliment, the fastest and easiest way is ook at the license sticker on the computer and install that version of Windows using that key. Which is completely legal, and not a pirated copy. So where most of the installations are pirated copies does not make sense at all.
New Hampshire also has some idiotic ways of getting revenue as well. The entire state liquor store, then there is also the recently introduced "Pleasing View" Tax. (Which is exactly what it sounds)
I agree with you. Except when you are going to get asked that question 5000+ times in a political campaign, maybe its time you did it. Then again this may be just my personality on how I value education and knowledge, but I read all types of information on any subject. As an example I read all about transatlantic cables not to long ago. The quest for just finding on how why and how something is should be a goal for everyone especially for someone who is going to be a leader of people.
But what difference does it make if he believes in evolution?
Everything! It shows that he is not willing to stop and research something and use valid logic to come up with an appropriate conclusion. Instead he's believing something dogmatic because he deep down knows that his is right and is unwilling to change. Someone who tosses logic aside and stick's his fingers in his ear and continues ahead is not something I want in a politician.
Verizon probably has the best coverage for you... the down side is they are CDMA and not GSM so you will not be able to use sim cards. This really leaves only AT&T or T-Mobile for sim cards either one's coverage I usually find limited to Verzion's coverage sadly.
No, they are not. Do the people who post this actually believe this stuff?
I knew someone at work who had the grand idea to go spouting about how the iPad was revolutionize how he worked. He bought the Bluetooth keyboard got a nice case and a screen and a docking station. In 3 weeks he was back to using a laptop with Windows 7 with Office.
I just don't get this new attitude of spending the entire day complaining about Facebook. Personally, I don't use the site and last time I checked no was forcing these people to use the site either. From how that article is written they seem to be acting like a bunch of children who are just complaining just because they can.
Yep, I am sure it will go on the amazon market. Although personally I never understood using these emulators on phones. They are god awful with the lack of any real buttons on the phone. Also the emulation is usually terrible, for any consoles SNES+.
Just give a cat catnip it is like watching a junkie just getting their fix. My friend's cat just discovered where it was hidden and was opening the cabinet and closing it to get his fix.
Honestly though the only classes that ever had attendance requirements were the classes that you could use study for only one hour before the exam and pass the class without attending a single class. Therefore the teachers felt the need to impose such strict and silly attendance requirements.

Whoops....competent not compliment. I am not competent in using spell check. =(

No, they're using iPads with bluetooth keyboards.

I disagree if I was given a gun with two bullets in a room with PayPal , Adolph Hitler, and Osama bin laden I would shoot PayPal twice.
Psst. you clicked on the wrong article it was the one above this one...

You can do Titan's quest its alot more PG then Diablo, and also has multiplayer.
Yep, I am sure it will go on the amazon market. Although personally I never understood using these emulators on phones. They are god awful with the lack of any real buttons on the phone. Also the emulation is usually terrible, for any consoles SNES+.
This computer later became Skynet.
More like HAL, I mean IBM is only 1 letter way on each.

Well I am happy to announce that the Slashdot crowd is leading in that front!

That is what overrated is for. Let him be a 0 insightful fool.
There's 3D golf, 3D snake and 3D rally on my Nokia phone...
Can that same 3d golf, 3d snake and 3d rally for your Nokia phone be easily changed to go on a Xbox and PC easily?
The site with the picture did not load for me, I found the image on The Register with story listed here.
I'm not sure what your trying to say here could you use a car analogy?
Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
As a hockey fan as well, I also hate VS camera work for covering games it's horrible.
From the article "Mr Vanjoki had to pay a fine equal to 14 days of his income in 1999, which was about 14 million euros ($12.5 million)."
Holy crap so a speeding ticket in the US for a normal worker would be $1500+? For going 16 MPH over the speed limit?
