Can please USA invade us, and get complete control of our nation?
We are not capable of doing that ourselves, it seems.. i'm serious!
Part of the package will be free access to colosseum and pizza 4 everyone..
Having the symbol of the Eagle everywhere will remind you of old times too...
Don't worry its work in progress. We started with their credit rating.... next it will be their currency.... and then their membership. They can go and start a "Loser's Union" with Greece, Portugal, and Turkey.
Not quite that simple to get around. It has to be something about you that you find offensive.
It's possible something was lost in the Wikipedia translation, but their wording was "any content that the applicant deems detrimental to his/her image", not "about the applicant". The sky is the limit.
In other words a comment like "All Lawyers are stupid" would have to be corrected to "All non-Italian Lawyers are stupid" because Italian lawyers could find the statement detrimental to the image.
If someone who is offended can require a correction be made without comment, then surely anyone else can be offended by the correction and have it reverted - without comment.
Great law. At last I can do something about the comments that imply that I am not always right and the greatest person in the universe. That's my wife's blog gone for a start!
Burn down their house, enslave their children, forcibly sell their wives into slavery. Napalm the suburb, nuke the capital. Use waterboarding, electric shock, exposure and "pressure points". Rape their dog, garrot their parents, and TNT the homes of their high school sweethearts.
Yeah because poor people are well known for a) their disposable income to spend on electronics other than cell phones and b) their desire to read books often enough to have a dedicated device for it. I mean, when you hear that ghetto street slang you think "wow, he must be a well-read sort of fellow".
I'm so poor that I have to read Slashdot you insensitive clod.
I wonder how this automatic man in the middle handles SSL connections? Does it pass that traffic though? Does it open a new connection and handle the SSL handshake in the cloud?
Sniffing people's bank accounts is a great service, would bring 1 click buy to a new level.
0 click buy!
That's the worry. Zero click buy. delivery to an address in Nigeria.
Why should a court case be inevitable now? Microsoft will NEVER detail what patents that they believe Linux infringes on. Folks have been begging them to do so for years so that if Linux infringed on any Microsoft patents that code could be reworked. Microsoft would have little ammunition for its shakedowns if they actually put their cards on the table.
So do you expect Microsoft to just cave in or to try to fight in court without saying what is being infringed? I don't think they will get very far with the latter, unless they can get the case seen in East Texas.
A shame that's too late for 2012, when Mayor Boris Johnson warns that mobile data demands during the Olympics may overload the current 3G network.
Gee, ya think?
Although, to be quite honest, there's no such thing as enough preparation/bandwidth/security/anything for an Olympics.
It will all come to a standstill when the fundies let off another bomb.
There, fixed that for you.
It might be PC but I would place money that it will be Muzzies and not Fundies. Not that I like Fundies much, but they tend not to go around killing non-believers at random like Muslims do.
It seems like webOS is going to die an undeserved death. It was conceived by a company too small to survive and came late into the game, and it will be killed by a company too stupid to know what it has and what to do with it.
True. They could have kept it going for the cost of sacking half a dozen CEOs or so.
I have much the same experience. I haven't used it enough to really fall in love with it but I like the nuances so far. We have replaced the home laptop with it for most tasks which saves a ton of power.
Given that Power = mc2 / T, where T is the time you have been using the tablet, "a ton of power" is very impressive. Do you usually use nuclear explosions to represent your 1 bits?
4.89 does not call for slaying Pagans. It calls for killing Hypocrites. A different thing entirely. It also only calls for killing the Hypocrites when they side with the Pagans of Mecca. Certainly not a "general command".
Read the commentary:
However, since a verse being revealed with respect to a specific event does not mean that it is restricted to that event, the Qur'n is here presenting a typical hypocrisy.
This means anyone who presents their religion as Islam or in any way equivalent. It is used today to justify killing the Ahmadiyya Muslims and people who claim that there is truth in all religions.
I don't think doing this is a good thing. A likely result is that companies will lobby for dilution of the law, probably something like having a legitimate need for the data. When companies really have something to hide they will use this, meaning that someone will have to use the old expensive procedure of going to court to show that they did have a legitimate need. The cost will put most people off and it will certainly delay all cases.
Right. But you realize that when you make statements such as "the phrase X appears more than once in text Y" it takes less than 10 seconds for anyone with Internet access prove you wrong?
And about two minutes to direct you to 4.89 and 9.5.
Incidentally It always shows the true nature of Islam that apologists will come on and lie saying "it doesn't appear more than once" in the hope that people won't check themselves. This is why Muslims always say "read the Quran, its a book of peace", because they assume that most people won't. Do as I did - call their bluff and read it.

I expect he thanked all of his wives for their support.
I Wonder if the National Museum of Computing will get any of this ?
I think that the huts are part of the National Museum of Computing exhibits, but it will be a grant for a specific purpose

This is a really important bit of our recent history. It would be a shame to let it rot away.
This article (and the summary) sounds like it was written by someone with a serious axe to grind.
You would too if you had bought as many gay porn books as him.

What! Are you a Muslim?
If they just get driven out of the patent troll business, they'll just switch to defrauding the elderly or phishing scams.
Or sucking off aging queers in public restrooms

Same difference. =P
I've heard that the people are more friendly in Nigeria.
Metaphors are like assholes.
Both have holes in them and some people stretch them way too far. (Anyone who has been caught out by goatse links will know exactly what this means)

HP had just priced it out of the market.
Maybe... but I can't help thinking that more people would buy a $700 tablet for $99 than would have just brought it for $99

But Facebook isn't incorporated in Germany, why would they have to abide by German law?
Well, I guess they could ignore it if the managers don't mind being arrested and sent to Germany if they ever travel to the EU.
There's even a 0.0001% chance that the extradition treaty the US uses all the time to bring people to the USA might work the other way round.
9.5 is the one I quoted.
