1. Its a mobile app, do they have any money we can take off them?
2. Not likely, theya re far to small to have done much.
3. Ok then, let's leave them alone till they do make some.
[I]t's been 150 years, we've got this idea that we've got an entitlement to read books for free, at the expense of authors, publishers and council tax payers. This is not the Victorian age, when we wanted to allow the impoverished access to literature.
We pay for compulsory schooling to do that.
It isn't the libraries he should be attacking in this case, its the schools. If schools taught everyone to read properly, then he might (not likely though) have a point.
Currently, as many as one-in-six pupils struggle to read when they leave primary school and one-in-10 boys aged 11 has a reading age no better than a seven-year-old. At the age of 14, six-in-10 white boys from the poorest backgrounds are still unable to read properly.
The article i found this on is 12 months old, but is the newest i could find right now, although this is just for the uk.
J.H. Snider, a fellow at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, predicted in The Huffington Post in October 2011 that "We The People" would "probably only have a short life ... because the interests of the public and elected officials differ."
And herein lies the real problem. How and when will elected reps be held responsible for the lies they tell for votes?
Neelie Kroes has shown a deep understanding of technology and internet issues for years now, I think shes the only person i can honestly say I am glad she has the job she does in the EU's massive machine.
Heres a scenario for you: At some point in the future, when the x-box **** and all other tv's ect start looking back at you and charging admission, maybe people will get pissed off enough that no one iwll bother, then we might find people outside socialising instead of watching some wannabe famous person on i used to be a celebrity, please give me a job!
This could be good or bad, can you imagine the mpaa doing this?
I'm given to understand harry potter lost millions on the movies (due to the accounting iirc), are they going to go after j.k rowling?
Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission, is very likely the only person in power in the eu that not only knows about tech, but also understands the tech, and what its capable of, and where it is heading.
well if any of you are in my area, dont bother with brandon lewis, he takes weeks to reply, and then its the party line, i dont like politicians that cannot think for themselves when they need to.
Have to say, on seeing this article in particular, a few months back i was gameless, And a 'friend' (1) pointed me to a couple of free to play mmo's under ea's belt, and a few older games that i had been looking at anyway for a bit of fun.
Obviously i went to origin first, but i dont think theres anything there more than a year old, except the battlefield stuff.
Turned out i couldn't actually get any old ea games from anywhere, but in this case, i couldn't even be bothered to get pirate copies, and didnt even look to see if they were available.
I looked on steam, then went to gog.com and got a couple of dead cheap older games that i remember having fun with way back when they were first released.
Probaly more along the lines of:
1. Its a mobile app, do they have any money we can take off them?
2. Not likely, theya re far to small to have done much.
3. Ok then, let's leave them alone till they do make some.
Ive been aware of florian for a long time to, never known his 'analysis' to be right.

Re:
Not at all, but if i buy pot in amsterdam while i am there, does that mean the US can extradite me because buying pot is illegal in the US?
Re:
Do the US government not realise just how hated they have become over the last decade?
