Nothing is being forced on you. For example, I'm not aware of any games in which the player character is forced into a homosexual sixty-nine (unless you count certain Japanese games, but they tend not to get a release here).
Do characters within games have homosexual experiences, yes. Do player characters within games receive homosexual advances, yes. Do you have to participate? Not as far as I'm aware, no.
That's not forcing anything on you, that's reflecting the reality around you within the game. Homosexuality exists.
Shit, you'll be complaining next that I'm forcing transgenderism on you by playing a particularly cute and attractive female bounty hunter on SWTOR.
I get 45 points on the education score and I still only hit 100 points - and next year, that would drop to 90.
So you're right, far from easy.
(of course, I can just head over and live there as an EU citizen should I choose, and frankly it's tempting because Denmark's lovely and the people there are fantastic. But many places seem better when you don't live there full time..)
Erm. But I wear short skirts because they're comfortable and make my legs look good. If a man happens to be stood downstairs from me and gets an eyeful then that's something I need to be conscious of avoiding, but it doesn't excuse someone standing under a staircase specifically trying to invade my privacy.
Sure. I could use a fucking expensive pen that's uncomfortable to hold, needs batteries, doesn't have good ink and requires fixed size expensive hard to acquire paper.
Or I could use a comfortable pen with good ink on my choice of paper and just fucking photograph the output afterwards.
Due, do you even care how usable something is or are you just a technowhore? Because y'know, I've no issue with that, there's shit I do purely for the joy of the technology involved (e.g. mechanical watches), but don't go preaching to other people about the superiority of your flawed solution.
This is false. The US has never refused an extradition request from the UK. The UK has refused US extradition requests seven times.
No, it's not false. Richard O'Dwyer broke no UK laws but is facing extradition to the US nonetheless.
Maybe the US extradition requests are being rejected because - much like the Richard O'Dwyer case - they're full of fucking shit.
That extradition treaty needs ending until it can be renegotiated because right now people in the UK are beholden to US law and that's just fucking wrong.
Sadly no, the EU agreed to send details of all flights to the US, including many flights that go nowhere near that country.
It was a stupid fucking decision but it was made by unelected cunts that deserve taking out and shooting. And yeah, Nottinghamshire police force, I'm standing by that statement. I know the law says they can't be, so I know that nobody will, but that doesn't change the fact that the cunts involved deserve it.
Fine. I can live without visiting the US, Canada, Mexico. There's plenty of the rest of the world out there.
Me, I'm still fucked off with the EU for permitting transfer of data to the US. The airlines shouldn't be fucking allowed to give this data to the US, an issue that's been around for a few years now.
And you're saying that the company doesn't benefit at all from my going.
No, he's saying you're a greedy fuck.
If you go to a conference your company paid for and you receive a gift for attending, bring it back to the office and - auction it off for the company's Charity of the Year - use it as a prize in a recognition programme of some form - hold a free sweepstake so everyone gets a shot - ask if anybody else wants it, and determine who will benefit most from it
Or act like a selfish cunt and keep it yourself. I bet you taunt your colleagues too, with the undeclared benefit-in-kind they haven't had the opportunity to enjoy.
This idea that everything is owed to the company is bullshit, and shows your own sense of entitlement. It's the same shit that causes people like you to think that we should be "grateful" that we have jobs. No we shouldn't; the company needs us as much or even more than we need them.
That's got fuck all to do with the company paying for your entry to a conference and you stealing the hardware that the company paid for in return.
In the UK you'd also have to declare it to your Bribery Officer or be breaking the law, quite apart from the tax implications.
He pleaded guilty. It might have been interesting to see it go to a proper trial.
If he'd known he was going to get 56 days he probably wouldn't have pleaded guilty.
If the judge did indeed (as suggested) state that "Everybody was praying for muamba" and use that as justification for the sentence then that pisses me off far more - peoples religious activities are no grounds for justice.
A racially aggravated public order offence. Although, fucked if I know what a public order offence is these days - pissing off random people while not being a politician appears to be enough.
Look at it this way. I had Flash installed on my 600Mhz PC, my 900Mhz PC, my 1.2GHz PC.. Why wouldn't I have it installed on my dual-core 1.5GHz computer?
Just because it's mobile doesn't make it crap.
(Admittedly, being Flash does make it crap, but tell that to the 80 million websites that use it)
Comes with better battery life than any iPad, comes with better connectivity than any iPad, comes with better input options than any iPad and comes with a more open OS than any iPad.
On the flipside, GPS reception is crippled by the metal case, the screen resolution can't compete with the new iPad and Asus can't make them fast enough for you to actually find one in stock anywhere. Swings & roundabouts..
Slashdot Mirror
Are you saying this guy was framed?
No, he wasn't. Why would you jump to that conclusion?
It doesn't include everything about the user, so it would be an incomplete record under EU law.
Which is in itself interesting :)

Sorry, you appear to be quoting a work of fiction as evidence of the opinion of a non-existent entity and using that to justify harassing people.
That makes you a cunt.
Sadly I can't respond as I would like to this post due to the stupid incitement to religious hatred laws in my country.
Suffice to say that I see nothing wrong with hate speech against the Koran.
I get 45 points on the education score and I still only hit 100 points - and next year, that would drop to 90.
So you're right, far from easy.

What the fuck? Even I know that foursquare's entire fucking purpose is to tell other people where you are, and I don't even use the service.
How exactly is some daft idiot telling the world where they are a victim when someone else uses that information to... tell where they are.
Sure. I could use a fucking expensive pen that's uncomfortable to hold, needs batteries, doesn't have good ink and requires fixed size expensive hard to acquire paper.
Or I could use a comfortable pen with good ink on my choice of paper and just fucking photograph the output afterwards.

They lose me as a customer anyway.

Now you're quoting something titled, "Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution".
THE CONSTITUTION.
I'm sorry, I give up. I can teach small dogs useful things but some people are clearly beyond hope.
And you're saying that the company doesn't benefit at all from my going.

Fucking hell, I'm arguing with an idiot. Your fucking reference gives more proof that there _is_ a constitution than that there isn't.
I don't need to provide proof, you've destroyed your own argument.
Congratulations on quoting a wikipedia page that explicitly states
The bedrock of the British Constitution is ... the Supremacy of the Crown in Parliament.[17]
So your evidence that there is no constitution is its bedrock. Ok.
He pleaded guilty. It might have been interesting to see it go to a proper trial.

argh. Racial hatred. Not religious hatred. Unless your target for the hatred is Jewish in which case you're fucked on both counts.
on what basis are the elements of a charge of "inciting racial hatred" met?
As I understand it, on the basis of subsequent messages that are not being published in the media.
Had he only said "LOL, Fuck Muamba. He's dead." then I suspect he wouldn't have pleaded guilty to inciting religious hatred.
Except the UK has no constitution
Don't be stupid.
Just because it isn't written on a single sheet of paper doesn't mean there isn't one.
If you're going to be found guilty of something, it damn well better be justified
Pleading guilty tends to be sufficient for most courts. He pleaded guilty.
Perhaps you could help elaborate the justification here in laying out a sentence that will likely ruin a young mans life.
Stupid fuckwit magistrate.
I'd say this is pretty core Slashdot material.
Fan created game that's a sequel to a series of games missed by many Slashdotters, built on an open-source engine, released for free?
Hardly advertising.
