I downloaded the PC verison of Fallout 3 GOTY after already purchasing the PS3 version because I wanted to try the mods.
Once I verified that it worked on my machine (I don;t trusted posted spec requirements) I went out and bought the Fallout 3 GOTY edition. I did that because it was a good game and I wanted to thank them for releasing the modding kits.
Even more interesting, I would think that a law that works as you say would make browsing at work more private than browsing at home - unless the ISPs have similar laws in Belgium regarding not being allowed to keep anything but anonymous statistics.
How do call centers work? Do they not monitor calls?
What if you worked support via email or chat?
I know plenty of people at my job who use their work email as their personal email. They also use their work phone as their day time phone. Is it legal in Belgium to monitor an email address or phone that is owned and assigned to you by your employer? If, as a customer, I tried to argue that an employee made me a promise, is their no record to back me up?
Maybe you should do some more research instead of just stating NRA rhetoric.
Maybe you should research before spouting of liberal rhetoric. You did not actually refute anything I said. You are making a cause and effect assumption where one does not exist (or at least not based on the statistics you used. How many of those homicides in the US side are caused by people that legally own guns?)
As far as sweden requiring you to be trained on gun ownership, I think that is a great idea for the US to adopt and I doubt anyone would disagree with you.
How do they determine what is a private email or call versus private?
At my job (granted that is in the US,) if it is using company resources, then it is work related. I have to sign several papers agreeing to that when I am hired (and every year or so they make us sign it again.)
Homicide rate in Canada (guns not allowed) 1.83/100k
Homicide rate in UK(guns not allowed) 1.49/100k
Don't spew that bullshit that the US is safer because people can carry guns. Canada's would be lower still since the gun crimes that do happen are from those smuggled in illegally from the US.
Yet Mexico has stricter regulations than Canada and is higher than the 3 countries you mentioned combined.
Sweden has more private gun ownership than the US but has a lower homicide rate than Canada or the UK.
Maybe gun laws are not the end all for cause and effect of homicides like you seem to be stating.
Or do you think that all of Mexico's guns come from the US too?
I think what KahabutDieDrake is trying to say is that Obama does not care if soldiers from American/British/etc are put at risk anymore than he cares about any Afghan's that are considered traitors by the Taliban.
I have to agree with KahabutDieDrake, here.
I also think that most countries have figured out that Obama is more interested in being liked by everyone which is why he treats our enemies better than he treats our friends (he assumes our friends will put up with this treatment.) Not that our enemies are impressed. They recognize a spineless sap when they see one.
I know I posted the same comment 3 times, but it is worth noting that slashdot was not displaying them on my name or on the story and that the comments seem to be timestamped about an hour after I posted them.
In Enemy Territory (Wolfenstein,) you would run across cry babies that would file a complaint on you if you accidentally killed them (such as you threw a grenade and they ran into it or when they would run over your mines.)
I would make it my personal mission for the next 5 minutes to make sure to get in the way of one of his grenades or to jump in front of his gun so I could hit their XP. Then they would start whining and eventually a vote would come up to kick him after everyone got sick of the whining.
The annoying thing I found about a lot of the maps was that there were to many players going for high kills and ignoring the missions. Once I found a good server, I would bookmark it. Now the servers are overrun with bots and not worth playing anymore.
Fallout 3 was a lot of fun. I am trying to get it working on my pc so I can play the GOTY edition but am still messing with my gamepad (I am not sure it is possible to mimic the ps3 controller since there seem to be more action keys for the pc version.) The keyboard and mouse don't work as well in my living room since I am usually playing without a surface for a mouse and keyboards are kind of clunky - that said, I think it is more that I started this game with a gamepad so it is difficult to switch to a different model. I couldn't play doom or enemy territory with a gamepad...
Have you tried the GOTY edition on the PS3? Is it as bad as the reviews make it sound (in terms of buginess) or is that just a very vocal minority?
People like to blame the parents. When I was a kid, I remember learning in school.
I do not get the impression from my child that the schools focus on anything that is not a social science. (The teacher flat out told us that no one teaches the multiplication table anymore nor phonetics.)
Kids can't read or do math, but they all know about global warning, the rape of the planet, BP and other evil corps, how this land was stolen from the natives, how we ALL used to have slaves... It is a disgrace. Then people wonder why people have no civic pride.
The guilt laid on our youth by our schools by focusing on only the bad in our history and current events is worse than any guilt I was taught by religion.
Go ahead and email your credit card info to that email. Once they use the card - assuming they are stupid which thieves usually are - you will have the address to where they send stuff too. Also, now they have committed credit card fraud (not sure if using someone's credit card - therefore pretending to be that person - also counts as identity theft.)

I would no doubt that the firefox equivalents that have been around for 5 years probably work better, but these work well for me.

The Debian package popularity-contest does this along with the added benefit of reporting what packages you use.
You have to opt into it, though.
This would be similar to Debian's popularity-contest but with Debian you have to opt in.
http://popcon.debian.org/
It seems more useful since it tells Debian which packages you have installed in addition to the fact that you have Debian installed.

A lot of companies do not allow personal browsing/downloading using company resources.
Everyone knows that psychic screams do not carry across a vacuum...
Thanks.. now I have to watch my Babylon 5 dvds.
You played the B5 demo!?! Any chance you could point to a download location?
If we PS3 owners can get past the fact that we are helping Sony, I doubt helping RAMBUS will cause much worry.

I can't wait until October for Fallout 4.
The cat burgler episode - Planet of the Dead - was an Easter special (and a crappy one at that.)
We did get some special privileges.
Texas has the right to break itself into 5 separate states and to fly our state flag at the same height as the US flag.
then I would be rich. That's all that matters in America :/
As opposed to where?

Yes. But then you have to prove it was really stolen and that you were not simply destroying evidence.
Go ahead and email your credit card info to that email. Once they use the card - assuming they are stupid which thieves usually are - you will have the address to where they send stuff too.
