A majority of their troops is in foreign countries, anyway, so why not give it a try? They should at least try to drop a big one on the RIAA headquarters.
I had a similar experience. Fortunately my upgrading tool somewhere close to the "cleaning up" process. After rebooting I had to update some packages manually over Synaptic, but the system ran fine, except for the fact that it somehow enabled Australian English as my default language.
And for another thing: Whatever I tried, I couldn't get the fglrx driver (that proprietary ATI driver) to work. The kernel module and the driver was properly installed, but nevertheless, I couldn't use Direct Rendering, although it was initialized properly, too. After a while I decided to download the Edgy installation CD and install this bitch from scratch. When inserting it, Ubuntu recognized a distribution upgrade on it and performed it. Well, the only thing it did was removing an old mesa driver, but after the "upgrade" was finished, everything started working perfectly fine. Including the fglrx driver.
By the way: The system sometimes seems to disable the wireless connection for no reason at all. Check your networking preferences, if it doesn't work.
Don't forget, kids: this is Canada!
Laws (physical, psychological, sociological, whatever) applying to Canadian people would never apply to anyone else. Especially U.S. citizens.
Heck, they don't even lock their houses!
This AI won't be called "GW", will it? Is Arsenal Gear in blueprints, already?
Heck, how long will it take the Patriots to take full control of the internets...

I've never seen a PC with region lockouts, yet. There might be some japanese hentai games that will only work on a japanese Windows, but everything else should work fine on any PC.
Nope. Producing NAUGHT is even more profitable for land owners, because it's funded by your government for food overproduction reasons (in the european union, at least). In Germany there are bazillions square kilometers of unused acres (and in other countries, too). There should be a reasonable solution which feeds both the world and our precious SUVs.
Reading posts in their entirety helps avoiding future embarassment. I was asking if a wind power plant at the seashore next to the desalination plant would be enough to provide sufficient electrical energy to power that desalination plant it is located next to... Minimal I*R losses, bro. Modern windmills should be able to do that, even in regions with suboptimal conditions (you wouldn't believe where Germany has placed working windmills).
Wind WILL be part of the solution, but Denmark cannot be taken as the typical case.
I don't seem to get your point well. Aren't your seashore suitable sources of wind energy, too? Don't you think that nowadays windmill technology is advanced enough to produce sufficient energy at such places, too? Correct me, if I'm wrong.
You don't seem to get my point. Yeah, Kuwait does accomplish their desalination with energy from their oil reserves, but that doesn't mean that there's no other way. Your article also shows the reason why Kuwait doesn't utilize alternate energy: because they got loads of oil, anyway, so why bother.
Imagine a country like Denmark which utilizes the wind for producing their energy. Now imagine that this electrical energy was used to power a desalination plant that is located near the sea where's lots of wind, anyway. The reason why Denmark hasn't done this, yet, is the lack of need to do (in contrast to Kuwait whose natural water resources are quite limited). Once the situation becomes as severe as described in the article Denmark will most likely use such methods.
There are lots of choices to choose from. Solar energy for southern countries, Wind energy for northern ones (Denmark gets a large portion from Wind energy, already). And there's lots more than this.

They just aim to create EU-wide unified criteria for judging violence in games. Nothing more. It has nothing to do with banning games!
Okay, now we just need some legs for this beauty, don't we?
...well, on the other hand this would propably mean massive product recalls which might most likely be not worth it.
I thought that the pr0n industry already did that...
Hmm... after reading this it dawned on me that it might actually a pretty bad Idea to declare war on the U.S.
Imagine Canada facing a war crimes trial for killing innocent hunters and and Texans...

Exactly. And importing games was never an issue for a PC. PayPal's "game enhancers" definition cries for objection...
