Wow, modded -1, troll for asking a legitimate question, albeit maybe a tad too sarcastically.
You do realize studies have proven that this vaccine causes more cases of severe secondary effects than there are actual cases of cancer caused by the virus it aims to cure?
Censorship

Submission + - The French government can now censor the internet (google.com)

Submitted by Psychophrenes
Psychophrenes writes: A new episode in french internet legislation.
French ministers have passed a bill (original in french) allowing the government to add any website to a black list, which access providers will have to enforce. This black list will be defined by the government only, without requiring the intervention of the legal system.
Although originally intended against pedo-pornographic websites, this bill is already outdated, as was hadopi in its time, and instead paves the way for a global censorship of the "french internet".

But here's the best feature of this item : if you try to formulate disagreement or political opinions, or try to remove the hat, a mecanical arm reaches out and puts a bullet in your brain! To add a nice touch, it even places the gun in your hand to disguise it as suicide. Buy now! Hurry!

It's hard to believe people will accept this kind of thing being installed on their computers, so I can't wait to see how Hadopi moves forward with it.

Easy! If you don't comply, they'll pretend you're not french.
The best thing is, by the time this crap makes it to users' computers (if it ever does), most downloaders will have moved on to non-P2P systems.
So this thing will only bother legal P2P users, nice...

Submission + - Gigantic spiral of light observed over Norway (dailymail.co.uk) 6

Submitted by Ch_Omega
Ch_Omega writes: A mysterious light display appearing over Norway last night has left thousands of residents in the north of the country baffled. Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing display to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor to a shock wave — although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet. The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre — lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm — which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world."
