I will give you the benefit of the doubt of a single person globablly. 1/global population is very different to 1/5. If you want more than that you'll have to provide some sort of evidence.
So when the US set it up, all the terrorists need to do to shut down the whole country's economy is to score a few bot-nets and attack the key infrastructure? So who's not thinking things through?
So... you have spare resources to harass Treasury but can't even come up with a charge... Which section are you from? We need to re-examine your budget...
They should just block all Google services in Italy. Replace Google with a page that just says "due to recent decisions of Italian courts, Google find operating in Italy too expensive." Leave it a week and see what happens.
Yes, I am well aware of Australian history. The English sent its overflow of convicts to an island paradise, realised their mistake and many of them moved here themselves. Lots of immigration too.
The AC might have been spouting ignorance about other matters, for example there are a number of people who believe that a Queenslander (aka Assange) "stole" a bunch of embarrassing documents and could be confusing him with the rest of the Australian population.
I'm sorry, would you please clarify what you mean by "nation of thieves"?
It would also be nice to know how you conflate "recommending removal of a foreign country's copyright infringement law from international trade agreements" with "defending stealing".
As I understand it, the Productivity Commission are mostly economists. They provide reports on questions requested by Government. They are occasionally listened to. They are more useful for ignoring and putting spin on the results for the electorate.
The problem with this is that he's not actually in the US and the world is watching. Even if the US is ok with looking bad by making up charges, Sweden also has to be ok with looking bad. They have to make up something that will stand up to scrutiny.
I think it's not so much a stupid censorship policy as it is a stupid classification policy. If they had game classifications matching film classifications then it wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm just not seeing it but other than being rectangles and having the words: peanut butter milk chocolate on them are there ANY similarities?
This is just the drug companies' usual markup practice. Isn't the usual price of a drug 2300% of what it takes to produce?

Just to split hairs, it's also not French...

Re: Sadly Enough
If I sell road maps and you buy one and use it to find a bank to rob, am I complicit?
Sounds like he got off lightly. Isn't standard practice for whistle-blowing in the US 6 months in solitary confinement with no trial?
If a human gene is patented, does that mean carriers would have to pay for cell division?
Re: Re: Re: Remember Why Britain Started Using Australia To Send Its Convicts To
Darryl, where do you hail from? I'd be interested to know where about you live that so many people *actually* go to church.
I believe that the AC was referring to the US being religious nutters.

Sounds like a simple fork to me.

To be fair, the article was written by a film critic. http://about.theage.com.au/view_profile.php?intid=1331
I don't think it's so much that the media are blindly believing it as having a vested interest in believing it.
You may also rest assured that Ballarat is far from a hub of academic research. The best and brightest migrate to Melbourne.
