the chinese have been abusing human rights? locking up dissidents? when did this happen? its not the whole world told us before we started doing business with them. oh well one day when we can pull out without destroying the stock price we might pull out of the chinese market. see we are real peace loving freedom loving hippie types honest!
trying something orginal instead of constant celebrity come dance with me factor on ice type programs? or super predicatable crap comedys(my family etc) ?
the beeb is funded diffrently to ITV et all and i dont see why they try to mimic them and engage in petty ratings wars by producing more and more lowest common denominator dross (i.e dance shows, singing shows and all the other vote for me now shows).
wheres the beeb gave us things like not the nine o clock news,young ones, black adder etc these days it has to have a jokes that are completly PC and so predictable you dont even need to watch half of these shows.
fail because £142.50 s alot to watch the F1 and the odd documentry
at the local rail station the copper even said "you may have seen in the metro that these search's have been declared illegal but they arn't and thats why we are doing them" apparently they were stopping every other person with backpacks. given that it was a stop under "articles relating to terrorisim" and that i had my laptop in my bag that i didn't want seized and sent into the forensics queue for two years i let them do it.
just a simple back pack search of the main compartment missing the perscription drugs i had in the front compartment (i have a valid perscription so not illegal for me) as well as the multitool i carry (i was wearing my biking jacket the fscker is prone to rattling things loose :) ) which had a blade in it ! complete waste of time and obviously throwing the weight around but i guess i look good on the statistics as a white male (round hear its normally black/asian that get tugged).
btw british transport police not the local police force either, grenade because i could fit 6 in the pockets and compartments thaat they didn't search lol

i think this article perfectly describes whats wrong with the music industry, written by a producer of one of nirvana's albums. the TLDR version is basiclly "label gives you an advance out of which you pay studio/legal/etc fee's . you pay back this money to the label out of your 10% royalty while the label still keeps 90%)
course bono's right i mean pracy really hurts all those poor simon cowells with no musical ability but who bring us all the fresh new acts who dont alll sound the same and arn't manufactured at all no sireee
yeah its in a place i paid to get in to to watch a performance, just like cinema's and recording in there is not piracy either! oh wait....
i still dont get why people do this with stage lights etc you can't see anything and the mic on the phone is totally overwhelmed all you end up with is an extremly blurry video of distortion. Mean while all anyone can see is rows of hands and fscking screens from these twonks
maybe they should put some money towards educating them. instead we get saddled with a big student loan and ZERO guaranteed funding for masters/phd's with only scholership or limited research council grants.
maybe a bit of positive treatment might help as well. if the science's are so important why do the people training to enter these area's get the same funding as art/media studies/vinyard management . i'm not a philistine but art is a product of society and should not IMO be classed the same as the subjects that are required for society to exist (would you rather have a chemist or a fine art grad)
the website fore the company has not been updated since 2007 and it claims to be listed as a public traded company using the abbrev GGF (http://www.globalgamingfactory.com/Shares.html)
now go to the swedish stock exchange and search http://www.nasdaqomxnordic.com/aktier?q=GGF. again a random broker site that seems to list all stocks on the swedish market http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/exchanges.php?exch=sfb&showcategories=STK&showproducts=&sequence_idx=200&sortproducts=&ib_entity=llc#show
bit suspicious that the links on the companys sites (in the share section) 404 (i can't read swedish so dunno what it all says but clicking an older news items 404) . it does not appear to be listed on the swedish exchange (unless i missed something) . so i dunno wind up or not you decidede
"I make it around fifty k bucks per year, which is a shitty rate of pay for working in mickey d's never mind having to spend that time in jail."
i make that to be £30417.33 still a hell of alot bigger then the amount i'm paid working a shitty convience store job t o pay for my uni whilst being assaulted by chavs on the way home and constantly abused by plod about underage sales (worked since 16 no underage sales) when they CBA to do anything about proxy buying and instead chase the clerks
51 mary whitehouse wannabe's complain due to swearing (these are the people that complain about everything and buy the daily mail to see what to be afraid of next) probably on the grounbds of "think of the children" + society going down hill, the result thread posts calling them every name under the sun.
way to go people just re-enforce their view that swearing on tv=swearing / aggressiveness throughout the population.
bull we are bought up and taught science where we aren't allowed to touxch anything that may burn/spark/cause a slight emotional injury (so all of chemistry and physics ruled out) and then they wonder why the uk lacks Physics grads. (btw i'm not a phys student in anyway, i am studying network security at degree level)
WTF in their right mind decided to build a naval base in Nevada, a landlocked desert state a long way from the nearest stretch of sea?
Must be hell getting their ships in there, huh?
keyword naval AIR base . it makes perfect sense, naval aircraft can land on normal runways so why train them over water which is more expensive and dangerous then over nevada wasteland, which is also probably close to nellis AFB so the airforce can come play as the red team
awesome so ping is now illegal and whoops its part of windows guess that means MS is the biggest uber hax0rs of em all, hang on what about all thos free software types theres this telnet thing built into linux with that evil haxors can telnet in and attack me! it r a hacking toool call the SS
