Decades of experience shows that almost all terrorist organizations are supplied by donations from middle eastern countries, which has oil as their main product of export. NSA should arrest anyone driving a car, because they are indirectly supporting terrorism.
Soulless because they sell their soul in the first opportunity that comes their way. In this case, its RIAA and the robber companies that support them. check that out - the shit links software piracy to terrorism, and seeks out unquestioned power to detain people because of that.
there have been many bastards who sold their souls for a sack of cash during the course of history, but probably none of them were as stupid and as filled with filth as this one.
im a foreigner, dont know us law, and even i have understood what they were suing against, and what they were going to use.
you dont need to have a big name to be a good law school. you just need quality students, and encouraging teachers.
Good. Now at least we know where the filth is

and what to avoid. and no, im not a bigoted fanboi of any camp - im just reflecting upon the series of stunts ms pulled to get that format validated. judging from the level they lowered themselves in dirty work to get this through with bribing and manipulating, i'd say that their format has to be total crap. else it wouldnt need that level of filthy campaigning.
i cant even start to imagine what the middle eastern islamist sects that are organizing in turkey to abolish secular republic are gonna do to them. they know no kind of intimidation.
and i have 400kbps broadband, amd 4800, 4 gig ram, firefox, zonealarm, no viruses, no problems in my xp. despite being a web developer myself so i know how to avoid that kind of shit.
really i dont understand that shit. they are just as buggy as any software out there, except maybe some linux stuff, and then again they are also buggy. i dont understand the need to despise those 'off the shelf' forum scripts that way. they power hundreds of thousands of communities harboring millions of people very well. so whats the problem ?
edison was one of the biggest phonies, invention and reputation snatchers in the history, as we know from many recent scandalous discoveries about what he did.
postman delivered an unexpected package this morning. i told him i wasnt expecting anything, but he said it was shipped priority from united states so it had to be mine. a curious electronic device was in it. i didnt know what to do with it so i integrated it with my toast machine. it works very well tbh. apparently pentagon is in ecommerce business now. thanks pentagon !
"...the bottom line to me is that a process that worked perfectly well when folks all trusted each other falls into chaos when there are allegations of dirty tricks or undue pressure." ie - when microsoft gets involved in something. the quote above basically explains the characteristics of everything microsoft gets involved in.
you know, if we just take the extreme approach of microsoft representative, you can easily say 'no such thing as money'. or 'you dont exist' or 'world is in the eyes of a fish' and etc.
i mean, WHICH $1200 piece of GRAPHICS hardware to PLAY a game ?
whats that guy was smoking ? gasoline ?
i amaze at some people, who set their resolution to 1800x1800 or whatever then try to run games in full detail and try to achieve 100 fps or whatnot.
human eye cant discern the difference after a certain resolution and after a certain framerate. in many games it will be impossible to discern the difference after 1280 resolution and 50 fps.
no such bullshit like '$1200 piece of hardware - death of pc gaming' exist.
i just bought a radeon 3870 with 512 ram for $300, and im flying high. literally. crysis and such.
Oh you're stuffed full of hyperbole. MILLIONS riot in the streets? Show me proof of that, or just concede you're exaggerating.
just visit middle east during a crisis.
I'm aware of Turkey's woes. I get the feeling that if they just let people have the freedom to wear headscarves or pray without being bothered, they'd be fine. Dubai works that way, and you could wear a bikini or a niqab without problems.
you dont know the half of it then. its not headscarves thats the issue, its that 'charity' sources that are being funded by saudi arabians and some radical islamist sources in middle east have been running schools and dormitories in the last 20 years, brainwashing kids which are delivered there. headscarf is just a political issue to get more votes than their 25% voterbase, nothing more. its a symbol that this whole war is being fought around.
and not only that, but with that headscarf comes discrimination. liberal sources here allow people with headscarves into anything, however those communities that advocate headscarf wont allow anyone else into any job, school, company, anything they control. this has been the case for the last 15 years.
In a recent opinion poll measuring what people in Turkey perceive as the country's biggest threat, the United States was first and Iraqi Kurds were second. Leyla Tausanoglu, a political columnist for the independent Cumhuriyet newspaper, says many Turks are skeptical of American plans because of the Iraq war, and are now suspicious of U.S. ties with Iraqi Kurdish leaders.'
Many Turks reason that the US is the military power in Iraq, and if 5,000 PKK guerrillas have safe harbor in Iraqi Kurdistan, it must mean that the US supports the PKK. (In fact, it is on the State Department list of terrorist organizations).
you know why u.s. came up as biggest threat ? because there is a WHOLE set of islamist media that is being funded by middle eastern sources preaching hatred against united states EVERY day. its TOTALLY outrageous, to the extent of racism, which is banned in turkey. EVERY single bit of opportunity relevant or irrelevant is being used to preach hatred and bash u.s, to the extent of delirium. yet, none of those are being prosecuted. cumhuriyet is a center left newspaper, and their annoyances with u.s. is because w. bush is a huge supporter of this ruling islamist party, which is basically handing over the country to saudi arabia.
Before W. got into the White House and ruined the world, 56% of Turks had a favorable view of the United States and the country was a firm NATO ally. Last I knew, the favorability rating had fallen to 12%, largely because Turks are afraid Bush's misadventure in Iraq will blow back on them. Now they think the US is a greater threat to them than the major terrorist organization that has menaced them for the past 30 years! It would be like the English public saying the US is a greater threat than the Irish Republican Army, or the French public saying the US is a greater threat than the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (Groupe Islamique Armé). (analysis shamelessly stolen from Prof. Cole [juancole.com])
before w bush got into the white house, and then in 2002 islamist party won the elections here, islamist sources were not that comfortable preaching hatred against west. they were doing it, but subtly, mildly, because governments then were cautious to observe the anti racism laws. when islamist party won, almost all of the islamist press's worries gone away. they started to openly bash u.s. and blame EVERYTHING (even 1999 earthquake in iznik) on u.s. the iraq issue has just been an excuse to ramp up their hatred propaganda, nothing else.
all the press is now in the hands of either directly islamist press (maybe 25% or so of the total publications, not counting the underhand publications they do) and the REST of it (excluding cumhuriyet, which unfortunately commands a pathetic 5% or so of the publication scene), nearing 70%
whenever such a thing happens, someone comes up with the 'extreme case' and 'exception' excuses.
its ALWAYS exceptions. the millions rioting in middle east because of caricatures constitute exceptions, someone criticizing what islam does constitutes an exception because s/he is a "right wing extremist", muslim youth cutting throats of 3 christians in center of turkey because they were just guilty of publishing bible and handing them out to whomever asked for one are an exception. so it goes.
i live in turkey. EVEN here, a secular country which does most of its business with the west and lived with the west for the last 60 years, there is much hatred against west now. it wasnt so 15 years ago. for 15 years sources that are openly funded from middle east have been doing hatred propaganda against west, and u.s. to the extent that mainstream newspapers here are openly propagating hatred towards west, and even christians with or without a relevant cause every day.
dont tell me about problem. i live IN the problem.
in many middle east countries, hatred towards west, christianity, jews, abd, europe is propagated through even publications and media of state. apart from that 'private' media, sects and such are preaching every kinds of hate towards everything west counts sacred too. stuff that one wouldnt dare repeat in a post here goes as ordinary sermons in many places. and mohammad cartoons pale in comparison to whats being spoken and circulated about west and its holy values in middle east.
west tolerates it. they dont go rioting and threatening to kill people over constant disrespect that is being done towards west and western values in middle east. not only that, but they even endure the filthy terrorism that results from this atmosphere when the radical sources make use of that hatred to recruit and make people go kill themselves and others.
yet, muslims do not offer the same kind of tolerance and enduring to west. in any smallest criticism or comment brought towards anything they think that is relevant to themselves, they make big stampede, create diplomatic rows, threaten to kill people, even they do kill people.
this is the biggest hypocrisy that exists on the face of the world as of now. just like a selfish, extremely self centered persona wants everything his/her way, intolerant of anyone else.
just check out the replies to this post. you'll find out that that intolerance can exist even among people who read slashdot.
each chinese made product we buy goes into the coffers of the fascist administration that organizes such attacks. and no, im not american, im turkish, and i have no objection to cheap goods or outsourced labor. my only requirement is that what i pay shouldnt go to trash like these.
how many people are there who can come up and say that they learned what language they are mainly using enough ? and, is it mandatory to have a 'next' language to learn ? apart from hobby purposes ? do you know that there are companies looking to hire lisp programmers etc still ?
there are many people here in slashdot who are 'bigger wigs' in civil life than most generals in any armed force can ever attain a comparable rank in military.
we have TOO many of the 'restricted' 'controlled' 'edited' information sources. way too many. and all of them are VERY limited. because, an accredited finite set of contributors can only contribute to an information source to a certain extent.
wikipedia has to battle with the verifiability and credibility issues, find solutions to make open contribution system work. for, what wikipedia does have not been done over the course of mankind's history on this scale. its very important.
for all the achievements mankind have accomplished, it is still not able to weed out murderers, fraudsters, criminals.
but, there is no alternative to it. you havent been able to create a civilization out of 'experts'.
same goes for user generated content. it will always have its flaws, it will always improve itself. but in the end, what user generated content accomplishes will be bigger and deeper than expert generated content, at any given time.

And they invented a reason to ban them from government contracts. Well, thats unheard of, especially for bush administration (!)
why is that they set up the hero as having cohorts, armies, minions all the time ? its growing rather old.
the forced need of self gratification by grandeur. too unrealistic when repeated that often and in every context.

anyways mod this offtopic.
im using creative sound cards since 1999. never used another. i never been into modding either.
however rest assured this idiot stunt your lawyerhead jerks pulled will affect my next sound card purchase choice.
you should listen to your users instead of your lawyerheads. dont piss on the hand that feeds you.
