In Finland, this has become a more and more apparent problem. Worst case was couple of years back when a young man was brutalized pretty hard by a gang of security guards, you don't break a twentysomething's hip by accident.. The point is that it is a fact that nobody else was there, just the guy and the 5 guards, the guy's hip is broken, but no one was actually convicted of anything. Why? The security firm first refused to give the CCTV tapes to the police, and later on claimed to have 'accidentally' erased it.

Might be a good time to take up theatrical masking as a hobby?

There hasn't been a communist country on the earth yet. There's been many permutations of socialist dictatorships/oligarchies but no communist rule.

Communism is a dream. A perfect state whose only problem is that we are short-sighted, self-serving and nepotistic monkeys who turn the greatest dreams and aspirations into a dog-eat-dog contest for power and wealth.

Homo homini lupus. We have what we deserve.

I look at the trees, It's on when there are more yellow and red than green.

That was helpful, thank you.

Any other sources? Looks like slashdot syndrome claims another victim..

This would just mean that only the wealthy get justice. Hey, now wait a minute..

Orly Owl?

Not just Nethack, but any roguelike without save scumming teaches some VERY important life lessons about decisions and forethought..

Either the instigator loves chess and is stupid or hates chess and is quite sly..

While I can guarantee that this move will cause a lot of hate towards chess and chess players, it will also most probably foster some quite interesting variants of chess..

When unloading containers at the central Nike warehouse in Netherlands, we'd find a container that was ransacked once or twice a week on average and missing or opened boxes were a daily occurrence.

Once, after a particularly bad while our supervisor got a bunch of pictures of the seals in the container doors and was told to compare every seal to a picture before anyone touches it and call office immediately if it looks different in ANY way. After that we found no more tampered containers.

..For two days..

I haven't ever had and I probably never will own a locked phone or any telecommunications device. First of all, there is a matter of principle; I own my personal communications devices, don't rent them.
Also, I travel a lot and wherever I go, I can usually get a prepaid simm card for my phone and cell modem.. Saves quite a penny in internet cafes and pay phones.
Fun fact: Until 2006 tying the sale of a cell phone to the contract was actually illegal in Finland, and even today, the law mandates the maximum contract as 2 years after which the phone must be unlockable and they must also offer the contract without the phone. In addition, this is only allowed with 3G cells, video phones or some other phones that are not basic GSM phones, those must be always sold unlocked.
Think about it; until 2006 hardly anyone in Finland even knew what 'a locked cellphone' is.

And I'm an atheist. Is there a better way to say 'yup, i'm a fascist and in power, so fuck you.' without having gas chambers? And yes, I know I just pulled the Godwin one. Once in a while there comes a time when you CAN legitimately hit the table with the nazi card.

Vast areas of europe.. "Hey USA! Libya's disrupting communications of the 'coalition of the willing' and I'll bet that some are NATO members to boot! What're you gonna do? complain? Bawk Bawk Baaawk!"

There will be many, many kids who will never, ever trust their parents again.
