Look up Pretty Good Solitaire.

I haven't used it in a few years myself, since version 11, but it comes packed with so many different solitaire games you wouldn't even believe it - including the good and classic Klondike which most of us now just call Solitaire.

You think after blowing up his stuff only to find out it wasn't a bomb the police will care about his statement? His friend CLEARLY just claimed to have been the one driving to save him, so got hit with Obstruction Of Justice or something along those lines.

Don't underestimate a police officer trying to save face after screwing up big time.

It's funny how there's more than one kind of terrorism, right?

Terrorism is by definition actions meant to spread fear; it doesn't HAVE to be violent. It doesn't HAVE to be done by muslim extremists. It just has to make people afraid.

Like the risk of having the police blow up (the contents of) your car because they (claim they) can smell gasoline. On a vehicle propelled by gasoline.

Will this include having Germany unblock Youtube?

Currently, ANYTHING on Youtube involving music is blocked because GEMA (the German equivalent of RIAA) can't reach an agreement with Google. The end result is that all those videos out there where people play a bit of background music are effectively banned from being seen in Germany.

For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

An interesting excerpt for those too lazy to click on links:

A study sponsored by the video hosting website MyVideo estimated that 61.5% of the 1000 most viewed YouTube clips are blocked in Germany. This is significantly higher than, for example, in the United States (0.9%) or in Switzerland (>1%).[7]
