Politically biased and frankly ignorant of reality much?
Knew it wouldn't be long before someone became an apologist for criminals and instead tried to score cheap political points out of it.
European nations are damned near bankrupt and going through austerity, but the EU demands more money to spend on unaccountable commissioners and MEP's who've never had their expenses signed off, free holidays, and idiotic projects such as arc manche that no one asked for or wants.... and now it seemingly has enough to start a new space project...
"such that it didn't warrant the cost involved to build that functionality into the Wii U console because of the patents related to those technologies."
We want our own so we can try and be filthy rich but it'll probably die on it's arse just like UMD.
The trial judge Mr. Justice Morland stated that exposure to violent videos might have encouraged the actions of Thompson and Venables, but this was disputed by David Maclean, the Minister of State at the Home Office at the time, who pointed out that police had found no evidence linking the case with "video nasties".[41] Some UK tabloid newspapers claimed that the attack on James Bulger was inspired by the film Child's Play 3, and campaigned for the rules on "video nasties" to be tightened.[42] Inspector Ray Simpson of Merseyside Police commented: "If you are going to link this murder to a film, you might as well link it to The Railway Children"
Whilst this entire story is being inundated with the usual 'attack religion' comments that slashdot spews out like my arse after a curry, I do want to raise a few points in this debate.
That is that quite simple, all sides of the climate change camp (as that is what this thread is about, even if the summary avoided mentioning it directly) are equally as guilty of blind faith.
The Business side will refuse any concept which jeopardises their profit margins
The Religious side will refuse any concept which does not match their religious texts
The Politic side will refuse any concept which is unlikely to get them elected
The Environmentalist side will refuse any concept which doesn't show that climate change is indisputably real and mankind is to blame
And
The Scientist side will refuse any concept which question their science, which is confusing as science has to be questioned for it to be science, else it is merely ideology or at worst, religion.
As for myself. I'm a geek, and think you can all kiss my ass. I hope you all die from your bickering before the planet cooks you alive.
Your bs arguing is interfering with my late night gaming sessions, now shut up so I can go play warcraft.
How the ways in which you are wrong. I don't even know how to begin listing them.
But I will say that the "loophole" is there to protect fundamental rights, but clearly, you're a content creator in some form, and as such, so biased and misguided, that you would happily see those rights revoke/subverted just to further your goals. Now get back in the tub beast.
I was going to post a witty insult possibly indicating that you have no social/sex life and attempt to gain status of your own importance by buying anything with a brand logo on it,
then I would question your sexuality/intellect in some snappy manner which is both hilarious and also manages to remain the safe side of the politically correct barrier, thus avoiding any down modding.
I would probably then make a few logical statements pointing out the inate error of your views before rounding up with either a killer blow meme or maybe a jab at how small your man hood is but to be perfectly honest, I can't be arsed, so I'll simply close by saying that you sir can eat a dick pavlova.
It wouldn't give Mandelson any power, as he's not an elected member of parliament, he cannot enact or enforce any law.
He's been forced to resign once and fired for fraud. After that he was effectively banned from standing as a member of parliament. As such, he was given a job in europe. But Brown being a corrupt douche wanted him back, and so gave him the lordship and hence a seat in the House of Lords. That enabled brown to hire him as business secretary, but he still has no power, merely taking an advisery role.
He still has influence and as such is still a danger and a threat to the peoples of this nation, but legally, he has no power.
As for the bill. I wouldn't worry too much. Parliament is out for xmas and will be back late jan early feb, after which the conservatives and lib dems are going to use every opportunity to show up labour. This bill would be a nice bit of ammo, thats if it even gets read. Rumour is that the gov is going to call an early election, march, april time. The moment the election is called, parliament is dissolved and the nation goes into a state of purdah, meaning nothing happens. No laws get passed, changed, everything stays as is til the election is won. And because this proposal is a labour one, when the cons win (and they will), they're never going to be seen stealing a labour policy, because thats exactly what labour have been doing to the cons since Blair was first elected.
I have karma to burn so what the hell.
He's right, you were being highly pedantic and confrontational, only barely challenging his statements.
It does give people the impression that, as previously stated, you are a twat.
Im british so I do it slightly differently. There's a coupla hundred databases that currently list me as:

As for phone number. I always use the phone number for the parents of this kid that used to bully me when I was a kid. He's apparently since moved out, but I figure they deserve continued punishment for raising a little bastage.:)

Call of duty is majoritively about World War 2. List how many women fought on the lines in that war please.

Un-fucking-believable.

I tried to search for it...

America overreactting and freaking out about something?
Color me shocked.
Someone should tell the US media that growing testicles doesn't cost money.

In short... No.
The same old tired promises we've been hearing since 2007. Where's the beef?
in a barrel next to the pork.
Concidering he's stated that wikileaks is going to be releasing info on Russia, I'd expect him to have a nasty encounter with a ricin tipped umbrella.
It's all down to the doom field.

They did have a chance to speak up, it's just no one liked what they had to say. Thats how it works in an 'ideal democracy'.
This is about the UK. What's a US citizen got to do with it?
You're not suggesting that this is some kinda of, 'death' star are you? Right, who's got Mark Hamhill's phone number?

Thats Sweden, not the Swiss
Is it me or does anyone else suspect that MS/Apple/Or some coffee company is now modding /. posts?
US Gov recommends citizens not to question anything, ever, and promptly bend over and take it. FF8Jake complies and his farts are never audible again.

Mod me down. It'll be a first for me
And then the net would revert back to the way it was before the money grabbers came along.
I'm all for it.

I vaguely remember CAT being used at some point in listing files. But it was a long time ago and it was on an amstrad 464.
