The lie I've heard from labour supporters is that the party has sides that don't actually agree with Blair style authoritarianism. When I pointed out that political parties contain people with similar views almost by definition, they claimed that all forms of tory hating are welcome in the labour party.
Irrational numbers, art about subjects other than god, romantic novels, TV, rock and roll, disco, heavy metal, video nasties, hip hop, raves, computer games......
Lets hope they get sued for all they're worth. I think that there are two groups of cunts that shouldn't be allowed to piss on my nationality and BP is one of them. The other has an N in their name.
When there's spotify, itunes and some slightly less legal services to provide all the music you could want; podcasts to do shows and, if you can stand the news, it's on your phone, your laptop, your tv and probably a load of other devices. It's hard to see what a non interactive audio service offers.
You really want one of these? It's just an area for people to vent and then get ignored, reducing the size of Mr Clegg's inbox in the process. The last government has a website to petition the prime minister, you were basically signing up to a mailing list which would send out a very nicely written "fuck off". The only improvement I see here is the design of the page.
Don't make movies. Seriously. Don't spend millions on producing a product that will end up a video file. And don't complain when you have spent said millions and the inevitable happens. Give up and get into a better industry.
The whole thing is a protest for tolerance. It was set up in response to a small group of people who wrote death threats because they couldn't tolerate some pictures.
Grow up, boy. When you get to middle-age like me you begin to understand that life is about tolerating and making allowances for others and not letting insignificant bits of crap ruin your day.
I'm not going to let insignificant crap ruin my day, it just happens that part of that day is drawing a picture.
Join the real world, take your head out of your ass and looking around you - if you do that you'll see most Muslims are normal people like you and me just getting on with their day who don't give a toss about insignificant little bigots like you.
Exactly, normal people (muslim or otherwise) won't give a toss and I don't want them to. The idea that I might piss off a few idiots might amuse me for a few minutes tho.
And how about if a group of Muslims in Afghanistan started posting cartoons on Facebook of injured American or British soldiers? Are you going to sit back and laugh about it because "It's their right" to do so?
From reading wikipedia, the systems sound similar. In the UK each region elects an MP and then the MPs vote in a government. The current problem is that none of the parties has enough MPs to actually vote in a government. If one party tries; all the other parties will vote against and prevent it. The US hasnt had this problem because only 2 parties seem to get elected there.
My stupid country is going to waste a shitload of money to have him visit so apparently some cunt does. Either that or the reds think it'll get them catholic votes.
Walls or no walls (I'm into no walls), I wouldn't spend too long working in an environment where I felt I couldn't have a break for slashdot/xkcd/facebook. Taking a break isn't something you should have to hide.
Sitting everyone round a table sounds like it could get a bit cramped. Development tends to generate loads of notebooks, post-its, design scribbles etc. Put those on a round table and you're going to get people running into each others mess.
Personally, I like to be in an open-ish (not too big, definitely not a cube) space with an area that's clearly identifiable as my desk. A nice cask nearby also helps but I havent been able to sell the idea to management.
Regardless of everything I've said above, be it right or wrong, you have one serious disadvantage. You're looking for a job at the worst possible time. For the last 10-12 years schools have been pumping out 'developers' who are just random people that signed up for CS because they thought they could get rich quick. Now you're coming into the job market, 15 years too late, with an education that was out of date before you graduated from highschool, during an economy were all the other mediocre but far more experienced 'developers' out there are looking for jobs as well.
As a CS graduate in the UK, I wouldn't entirely agree with this. Yes, the economy is a little bit shit right now but technology jobs are still out there. In fact, I recently visited my uni for a few drinks and the students in tech related subjects seemed quite a bit less worried than everyone else. In my own experience, the biggest obstacle to getting a job was that I believed the newspapers and got demotivated. As soon as I started looking, I started getting interviews.
I cant compare the situation to previous years because I wasn't looking then but the job market is hardly terrible for developers. Obviously, the situation will vary depending on where you are.
There are better countries to send your money to.
Personally I dont care about the whole who's right/who start it thing (my country may have fucked up there) but I don't buy anything from either side of that warzone.
Well for a start software already gets copyright, there's no need for double protection.
Secondly, the whole patent idea seems a little flawed. If you come up with an idea that solves a problem, that's great. If someone else faces the same problem, works on it and comes up with a similar solution, that's a patent violation. In effect you can sue people for accidents of history.
If my second point gets corrected by someone who knows what they're talking about then refer to point 1.
This is a joke? Suggesting people get the law changed in order to have their garden landscaped differently. Thats a bit too right wing/centre right (pick one or more, they only differ by a wobble in the tax rate) to actually be taken seriously.

Dont worry, the world will sort itself out once the baby boomers start dying.

Isn't this getting a bit old by now?

Stop pretending. The "christian moral agenda" is only ever used retrospectively when it happens to agree with the laws of the day.
Don't make movies. Seriously. Don't spend millions on producing a product that will end up a video file. And don't complain when you have spent said millions and the inevitable happens. Give up and get into a better industry.
One word... tolerance.

No, I'd probably laugh because it's funny.

Vote pirate, or green or yellow or something like that. Anyone who thought that this was a good idea doesn't deserve to win.

True, but they didn't win which means that they became evil retrospectively.
Also, that thing about invading France was a bit not cool.

Small correction "Like all other spooky voodoo, ip lawyering is safe to ignore."
We're already past the point where it doesn't matter. Like all other spooky voodoo, lawyering is safe to ignore. Patent lawyering doubly so.
It doesn't matter. National security is just another word for political embarressment.
Hollywood cant sue you. You are a human and are therefore unrecognised as any form of legal entity.
This is a joke? Suggesting people get the law changed in order to have their garden landscaped differently. Thats a bit too right wing/centre right (pick one or more, they only differ by a wobble in the tax rate) to actually be taken seriously.
Which idiots have still not got round to throwing this out? I hope they have a really good excuse.
It's constitutional because the constitution doesn't include any reference to your gut feelings.
