That's not oil though ;)

But in future probably will turn out even more lucrative - rare earth metals are big $$$

Though I really wouldn't worry about the Iranian drone till some concrete evidence of its flight capability and profile is released... so far it seems to be little more than a funny shaped missile.

If the US Gov't seriously wanted to remove him I doubt they'd bother with faffing around like this.

He'd maybe get run over by a drunk driver on a pedestrian crossing, or suffer a fatal heart attack with something nice that only shows up on a tox screen if you are really looking for it...

Think the point is not that it is a game portraying two sides in a war, but that it is two sides in an on-going and current conflict....

Personally don't give two hoots, whether the side I'm playing is taliban, communist, alien, whatever its my side and I'll play to win, at the end of the day in a game I forget the backstory and focus on the battle in hand.

Don't recall calls for world in conflict to be banned because it showed a US commander dropping a nuke on an American town nuking his own battalion... nor for the apocalypse now sound track on one of the maps, strangely enough set in a rather 'nam like terrain...

Why? The A-Team have to have the lowest kills to shots ratio of any SF group in the world. Even the ancient greeks managed to kill the same number of people with bullets as the A-Team (exactly 0).

Now if it was a certain Navy chef guarding the venue that would be scary... or a detective who ends up in vest most of the time...

Didn't know he had an active war dec; idiot, wonder if he knows what npc corp alts are for ;)

Why was the pillock bothering to haul Plexs around? The price (I know as I just picked up a couple) is pretty much the same in most of empire space, and our bit of 0.0 even had some around the right price...

Easier way (if you are lucky enough to live where you can still posses a firearm): lock and load, find drone and dispatch drone to the great aerodrome in the sky.

Wonder if data sinks will have to be prohibited?

In this instacne they do... does not help them to break these rules so they'll play by them.

And apart from that its simple: =50% you do. So not exactly a hard rule (and a bit of work with HR, outsourcing/sub-contracting/contractors can help reduce you below 50% without doing any rule breaking; same as any tax - evasion of the tax would be illegal, avoidance isn't)

Attack vector: I plug in, sniff all your traffic... don't even need valid ip address etc.

To be fair should be :/s/Wii/any\ connected\ device

Can't think of a single network connected device that couldn't potentially offer an attack vector...

As I said, personally I'll use Debian on desktops, UNR on netbooks, Debian on servers. Unless the bloke paying wants something different then if I can't make them see the light I'll take their choice ;)

We do... but thats more down to customer pressure than personal choice (probably would use Debian by choice with custom kernel).

Wrong. You do not buy the router (for the majority of isp provided kit) ergo you do not own the router. You lease the router as part of your bundle in most cases.

Err... having lawyer does not equate to having immunity.
