i thought i sensed some sarcasm is the first post. i really hope you weren't being sarcastic because i would really like to believe that's true.

really?.. they wouldnt be the first country to put tax breaks in for creative sectors.. seems like the Other countries already have the unfair advantage over the UK.. this would be more like leveling the field.

Congratulations, You have successfully completed de facto school of business.

mhmm, gpu's, heat management and the ability to upgrade are some major things desktops have going. idk about this article..

maybe the guy pushing the button every 1-1.3 seconds figured out he didn't need to..?

Every Single One of the above opinions about "those thugs" are Biased..

It's like dismissing a sack of apples as rotten, based on a couple bad apples you can see at the top..(yes, it's the bad-apple analogy. you think of something better)

It's in our nature to be more interested in topics and events that stray from what we would like to think is "the norm". For example, given two articles about a murder spree and a new charity, im sure most readers would take more interest in the murder article. And although that general sway towards the not-normal does not account for some of the bad attention police are getting, it still has a negative affect on perception.

Beyond all that, i have to believe that anyone seeking employment in law enforcement has generally pure intentions in there heart. I cant see anyone becoming a cop because they want to beat up some pedestrians. Its logical to then assume that it's the job that makes them turn bad. The typical police officer up here is overworked, underpaid, and often emotionally distant. Apply those conditions to any work environment and the same bad apples would float up into view.

What? Even if your exaggerating to make a point, your view is still fairly skewed. Given an actual Opportunity to protect someone from harm, any police officer would help.

"They come after you've already been assaulted and robbed or otherwise violated and investigate" Yes, unfortunately criminals have figured out that beating someone up in the vicinity of a police officer is Bad. And as for following through on reports, it's a shame that you think they dont care at all. Given anything useful to follow through with, they will. But give them a general description of a bald white guy with jeans and a tshirt, they cant do much.

i dont mean to call you out Parent, this is just my opinion.

if Dr.Who has taught us anything, it's that wireless transmissions are in fact aliens made of pink lightning that suck your faces off through the television.
It's clear that this technology is Years beyond our current understanding of science, :. there must be an alien creature manipulating the timeline!

well.. at least FF7 wouldn't so hard to get anymore.

Dont think we know how to measure the point WE become aware yet. Beyond knowing at approximately what age it happens at and how to tell when a tot finally figures out they exist, there's not a lot we know. I figure this'l help us find out more about how our brains work in that regard, seeing as it's made in the likeness of ourselves.

i thought about that i bit. it's certainly different from their usual intentional leaks. maybe they just learned how to put on a better show.

next theyl be hiring surgeons and charging "sale" prices for operations..
