It's not just you. I'm with you and Mark E Smith on this one too.

Yeah, bomb 'em all, right? And then bomb the people who attend their funerals. And then bomb their children, we don't want them getting radicalised as well! Bombing fixes things and definitely didn't cause groups like ISIS to form in the first place.

Prohibition does not work at all. People still want to get high. If you ban tobacco, people will just get it off the black market. If they think there is a demand for something (and in the case of drugs, there always is) "Organizations" (gangs) will step in to fulfill that demand. Read up on alcohol prohibition in america and you can see how unsuccessful it is. It's also not really fair to call drugs "toxic" when there are only three drugs more dangerous than alcohol: Heroin, Crack and Crystal Meth. The only way we are ever going to fix this is with regulation, education and understanding.

How many of those copies do you think they sold for full price though? I'd say probably less than 5% (though I am pulling this statistic out of the air), most of the people I know who bought it paid £1 or less, or got it in a humble bundle deal where most of the takings go to charity. Plus you have to factor in things like the distributor and publisher taking their cut, when you take those into account I really don't think the Dennaton guys make a huge amount of money. I'd imagine it's a decent living, but not megabucks.

I reckon this is going to be a bait and switch job: 1. Government suggests proposal which is absolutely unreasonable and seems poorly thought out 2. Public outrage over said proposal 3. Proposal doesn't go through the house of commons because everyone votes against it 4. Government suggests proposal which is still unreasonable but slightly less mad than the one in #1 5. Everyone votes it in happily It happened with the snoopers charter before and it'll happen with this now. Though I guess this is just an extension of the snoopers charter really.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to feahahahahahaha Sorry I can't finish that sentence with a straight face.

I just eat them. That way you show 'em who's boss and their friends don't come back.

That's an NPC isn't it? I thought all players had "Cmdr. " as their name? So one of us must have backed the kickstarter and put this as their named NPC.

I think this all falls under safe harbour laws doesn't it? Facebook are the same as any other service provider, in that regard. Lets say you run a VPS service and someone is using your service to run a website with extremely illegal content. You never set the site up, you had no knowledge of what the user was doing and the user signed an EULA to say they'd use the service responsibly. Assuming nobody ever reports this to you, are you then responsible for the actions of the user? Or for a non-electronic example: Somebody rents a safe deposit box from a bank and uses it to store illegal contraband. Assuming nobody ever reports this to the bank, are they responsible for the contents of the box?

The issue is not what you said, it's where and when you said it. Sorry if you can't see that, I guess.

Oh okay, I guess we just won't worry about the women getting beaten to death by their husbands then? Honestly, do you just feel the need to take up a position like this in every discussion thread? Does pedantry on this level make you feel good about yourself or something? You've contributed absolutely nothing to the discussion except to make people annoyed at you.

Why doesn't Bob Geldoff write a new song and then get loads of artists to collaborate on that instead? I get that it's for a good cause and all, but it just seems a bit lazy to me. Or is this now going to become like an annual thing at Christmas? We get the x-factor single and the new version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" debuts on the live show. Profits all go to whatever cause is going to further the collaborating artists' careers the most.

Or the one where the lead singer learned how to be a stunt driver and then did this: They are pretty much the only band who produce music videos which are actually worth watching.

No sooner did I make the previous post, than a reporter from the BBC posted the following on Twitter: Source He may not be as rich as he was, but he's still white. In South Africa that still goes a long way, unfortunately.

He's a rich white man in South Africa. I'd be surprised if he's in there longer than a year.

For Gamers ... Best Game out or coming soon for PS4?

DAMMIT I literally came here to post this! Ok fine, Hotline Miami 2. It's going to be the best game of whatever year it comes out in. Do you like hurting other people? -

Here is a nice poem I saw on twitter. It's got some naughty words in it though, so be warned.
-
It doesn't. They've done away with the lowest denomination coin in Sweden and (iirc) Denmark, stuff still costs "1.99" instead of "2" but you don't get your 0.01 back. I think the coins are still technically legal tender but they aren't producing any more so you never see them anywhere.

Can anyone please recommend a computer game for student "Games Club"
Sdrawkcab replied to burgemaster's topic in General Chat
You're thinking of ToTD: Overkill which is the typing version of House of The Dead: Overkill, the game which currently holds the record for the most profanity. There's another, older version called simply "Typing Of The Dead" which is based on the House of The Dead 2 game. It's actually been edited to make it tamer compared to the arcade game iirc, the zombies have green blood and I think they've toned down some of the dialogue too. It's also freeware, which makes it doublegood for schools. ToTD: Overkill is absolutely fantastic, just not appropriate for schools. -
Lol I play all my games on 19" 4:3 monitors running at 1280x1024. I'm so 1999.

This is basically my "get stuff done" music

I can see a use for this. When I was at music festivals over the summer, the number of times I lost my torch because I couldn't see in the tent at night was unreal. Having a glow in the dark one would fix that problem.

The same thing that stops them from forcing people to carry out fraudulent payments in the street using a chip+pin reader? Surely their reader wouldn't be able to actually authorize payments unless they were registered as a legitimate business? In which case, once they've done that much work surely there are more lucrative crimes they could carry out than robbing £1 off all the people in the high street?
