More than "the devil made me do it" we're facing a serious problem in the coming years:

1) The court recognized and given a written sentence that stated there are innate violence traits in some north africans.
2) Here in italy special laws are provided for the dog races known as "biters" (Bulldogs and the likes). Since the same can be now legally said for North Africans should we have special laws for them?
3) If a "biter" harms a person the law prescribes the dog to be retired. Instead this offender got a penalty discount! (On the news it's written it was a religious issue)
4) If I'll ever be in the position to choose between a north african and someone who doesent have potentially this gene I could do so and I have a sentence that justify me besides my prejudices.

Note: North africans are 41% of foreign inmates in Italian prisons but just 16% of legal immigrants. Thought they are 2% of the population on italian soil they are roughtly 1/3 of italian inmates. Source: http://www.ismu.org/ISMU_new/approfondimento.php?id=80

looks absolutely nothing like the Apple Computer logo

Kinda... Think of when you try to find shapes in the clouds, it's almost the same. The difference this time is that you've got a cold sweat covered Steeve Jobs believing the logo is it's his own and casting black magic on everyone around to project the famous reality distorsion field. Then, actually, throught the field the logos look exactly just the same.

That is factually incorrect. While apple relays on App Store reviewers and cersorship for enforcing security on their platform Symbian relies on Certificates.

Certificates are issued at various levels: from home brew developer (install on one phone) to Software firm (installs on all devices). Also certificates are issued with various capabilities like reading contacts, sendind sms, sending data, accessing camera/microphone, being able to read or write system files etc. During the installation of a Symbian program the user is constantly nagged with the following information and has to approve/aknowledge separately: Certificate validity - Certificate Capabilities for the program - Program final install.

You can find more informations here: https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page

The easy way to circumvent this - similar to jailbreking for iPhones - can be found here http://helloox2.com/ and it's free as long you've got a developer certificate issued for your phone to sign it.

Of course, there is little reason to steal; people who want the files in question would simply get DPP-free versions.

I disagree. There is a strong reason to do so: by "vandalizing" this imaginary property you teach the idiot the notion that in no circumstances he would have to get a DRM infected file. In this context erasing the keys on the server would be a exemplary punishment for supporters of this idiocy. (Some music stores relying on DRM infected formats already had to do that when they went out of business - consumers of course were screwed)

1%? I don't know anyone that doesen't use intensive bandwidth services on daily basis. Think about youtube addicts, Skype with video or not (Brings my 7mbit to knees), download sites and of course Peer to Peer. The Peer to peer part is nice, it's kinda of like masturbation, everybody does it but noone admits it.

For the 99% they claim is not using those services then they are miking a lot of golden cows since those are not using the network at all but still they pay for it. Let's put a bullshit tax on these claims and the internet would be fully paid by RIAA and Telcos press releases.

Hi there. What you say is factual correct.

But I was living for a brief time in central london (St.Pauls) and as you certanly know there are no parking chances at all, even paying. Similar story at Glowcester terrace and that is outside the congestion charge but there are usually no spots to leave the car.

I'll dismiss the traffic volume question with this explaination: If they narrow the streets with insanely wide pathwalks, omit to build stop areas for buses and taxis and eradicate the parkings it's obvious that the outcome are congestions (made by taxis and buses usually).

The situation of London's government is the same as the prostheses constuctor that is willingly amputating legs to citisens to sell his product.

Most people here seems to regard parking meters as normal and acceptable devices. Fact is that the SOIL is public. That means that the SOIL is YOURS. Now would you like to be charged for living into your house? I doubt it. So why can you accept that someone is renting your land? Here now you are debating which form of stealing is better for you. Like debating whatever is better to be eaten by a lion or a tiger.

*LONDON CASE* - Just in case my points need proof. London is the best example that the government is not able to get public transport done in a decent way. Those who had the pleasure to visit London had the pleasure to witness the outcome of this resignation policy, where citizen don't question for a long time the actions of their governors.

Tube: In london the tube is the most expensive public transport of the world. To eradicate privacy concerns you are told that you've got no privacy: the tube is covered with cameras. They are there just to easen your feelings of unsecurity and keeping souvenir videos of dead kamikaze bombers for later inspection.
Congestion Charge: You can't use your car if you don't pay. Basically 16$ flat rate to get into the city. Cameras with number plate recognition software will note every car entering the charging zone. At the end of the day number plates will be cross referenced against a database of payments made -and don't forget to fuck privacy.
Parking: Public parking in central london is practically non existant. Where it is available the rates are so high that made possible for a private parking industry to florish (usually 36$ per day, 3,60$ per hour). With the advent of decriminalised parking the practice is becoming much more widespread and as evidenced by the TV docu-soap 'Clampers', can be very arbitary: "clampers using threatening behaviour". Insane measures to clamp even bikes: Inside the Greater London area all footway parking is prohibited unless it is specifically exempted and signs indicate that you may park partially or wholly on the footway. -

Conclusions: In london there is no other options but to be raped insane charges by local authorities. You take a bike, you can't park and risk clamps - You take a car you pay for using (congestion charge) and parking (if and when you find a spot) - You take the tube you are going to pay the most expensive transport system of the world AND you are still uncertain if you can reach your destination in time or whatever (It's like lotto, if you're lucky you get in time, if youre not lucky you're screwed since anything can happen, from detours to surface lines, delays or anything else - Also take for granted that when it happens you will find yourself dumped in parts of the city you never knew they existed before).
