I may not agree with everyone thing MM says, but at least the parent is trying to point out that some of it has value, rather than just jumping on one side or the other.
Well actually in the UK there are loads of different companies to choose from, I know of:
o2
Orange
Vodafone
T - Mobile
3 (odd name, I know)
Virgin Mobile
Various supermarkets offer mobile phone contracts as well, Tesco mobile for example, though I think that is just rebranded Virgin Mobile.
If you don't mind me being curious, what resolution can you play civ 4 at?
I want to buy it for my dad's mac mini for father's day, and it'd be nice to know how it will run, he has the same graphics chip as you.
One thing I have noticed about PC games releases in recent years, in Europe most games are on one or two DVDs, but in the USA almost all releases are on large numbers of multiple discs, which was a bit of a shock to me when I spent some holiday money in a games shop!
I'm not a citizen of the USA, but I thought felonies were very serious crimes, like assault, or bodily harm. Not selling violent video games to children, yeah, it's probably a "bad" thing to do, but making it a felony seems a bit over the top.
Diabetics are UNABLE to produce ANY insulin, the study showed that it fucks with the insulin levels in healthy people, with pancreases that can produce insulin in the first place.
You are not qualified to say what is and isn't "right" about what can be said on TV and radio.
You might be grossly offended by a rape joke, I might simply not find it amusing, someone else might chuckle. We all have different moral standards.
As another example, what about insulting someone's religion? I couldn't give a shit if a broadcaster goes on a rampage against Christianity, but the Archbishop of Canterbury would clearly disagree with me.
Stop allowing others to censor what you don't like, just don't watch it.
Maybe not in American law, but there was a Polish case in 2003, where a court ruled that a translation alone (i.e. without the video) does not count as copyright infringement.

That is an excellent article, and as a 17 year old who has just finished his A levels, I quite agree with you.
A discussion came up on the BBC news site, did you contribute to that? Your article sounds familiar.
is to not play.

I hope Sun are paying you well Toby.
Apple is not a convicted monopolist, the rules of business change when you are.
He doesn't have to anything at all

Well for me it's still nearly half price, at the current exchange rate from pounds to dollars :)

Pool's closed. Wonder who'll get the reference?
That's great my iPod takes me more than half way there, I paid £180 for it!
Which is a bit silly, when you consider the difference in budget between the two projects.

Is it censorship if the mass media ignores it, or does it show that their viewing public don't care?
It's all a conspiracy from the USA's oldest enemies.
Is it common to get charged for receiving sms in the USA?
In Europe no mobile phone company charges to receive, the EU gets bashed a lot, bu they sure did sort out our cell phone companies.

+1 knows what the fuck he's talking about
X legs? Can you elaborate?
I'm glad you pointed this out Anonymous, it grinds my gears as well. Some nerds thought the acronym sounded cool, but you are quite right.
