a) Those demanding acts of terror and violence in retaliation are probably not so much pissed off about being portrayed as violent terrorists, as they are about their oh so holy prophet being portayed in a not entirely nice way.
b) Most people who are pissed off do not call for acts of terror and violence, they are more likely walking in peaceful protest marchs, feeling bad about how their religion is perceived in the west.
Oh, and speaking of hypocrisy, how about this one:
I'm in charge of the worlds largest war machine ever, I claim to believe in and follow Jesus Christ, I invade other countries and have sent several people to die in the texas gas chamber (or is it the more mercyful lethal injection thing they do in tx?).
Check out Serial Experiments Lain.
Geeks will love it (especially the Mac/NeXT crowd) as it's filled with more or less obscure geek/hacker references. Beware though, SEL is pretty fscking weird.
If you really are "a stupid american who wants cheap entertainment", then I'm guessing this isn't for you. But I'm also guessing that you aren't, so maybe it is.
Are there any j2me bittorrent implementations out there and are they any good? Are there any competent trackers with wap support?
I was thinking of wether or not the piratebay (and it's equivalents) could be a less costly alternative.
Mobile warezing might just be the next big thing (tm).
Well, my hood sure as hell would be alot more lively if it's residents would visit the pirate bay (shameless plug) and get some good music for the next block party.
That aside, it's not like "stating all car repairs should be free", but rather like "stating all citizens should be allowed to replicate car parts freely." My point being, if any, that comparing immaterial stuff to physical objects won't get anyone anywhere. It's like oranges and immaterial apples.
One could also argue that the code is an example of a ruby iterator.
Either way, your C-code will segv due to the format string. s/%s/%d\\\\n/ and you'll be fine.
I find the piracy model to be superior and expect large parts of the japanese market to do the same.
If only the music industry would embrace p2p as a pr-channel similar to radio. Of course, not being able to bribe DJ's could damage the popularity of Britney Spears.
As someone with a 50% chance of developing colon cancer (according to the DNA-guys who included my family and our genes in their study), I very much see your point.
10% extra, albeit annoying, is nothing when weighed against the excitement of being on a manned mission to Mars.
When the task at hand is of particular importance and I fear having my state of deep concentration disrupted by people talking to or around me, I use ear plugs. This I heartily recommend. Ear phones playing your music of choice may also work.
The plugs I use are very discrete and very effective, so coworkers who are not aware of this practice are at times annoyed by my apparent autism. This is however (most of the time) by far outweighed by my increased productivity.
If they really really need to talk to me, they're free to poke me with a stick.

"I wonder how long it'll be we're just all at war"
Uhm, I think you already are, and the danes as well IIRC.
I'm guessing there's more than those drawings upsetting people.

Seems to me you just did. Congrats.

... next you're gonna tell me godzilla lived. Like there ever were a bunch of giant lizard roaming the earth. That's just silly.
I'm sorry, the brawl is taking place in Sweden, not the states, so the outcome is not obvious yet.
FYI, the yank's and most of the EU got that as well. DMCA and EUCD.
I completely agree with you on the bizarreness of it though.
... is someones lively hood.
