Sure we do. In my ancestral home of Pennsylvania, we got a lot of them. Can't buy booze unless you purchase it from the Gov't, Certain stores only sell six packs, others only cases of beer. Our sales tax (VAT to you guys I believe) is convoluted at best - books are taxed, magazines aren't. Soap is taxed, paper towels are not. Etc, etc...

But some laws are pretty universal in the US (with some interpretation of course), mostly to do with criminal acts that harm others. No one is getting off "easy" for rape in one state as opposed to another. Maybe the EU is thinking along the "harming others" category, which disruptive hacking certainly can do.

Yay - super interesting. Listening to the African stream thanks to you!

BBC African stream

Mine is by the little magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner - wait, what the hell is the BBC REALLY trying to pull here?!?!? OMG this has to do with the Queen's anniversary I'm sure (digs for tinfoil hat)

Yeah I know :/ - 4th time is a charm? If we got Bruckheimer/Abrams or someone like that team involved it would still suck, but at least have cool special effects :)

I'd love to see something with Drow and the Underdark. Yes, wrong gaming franchise. I still want to see it :)

I'm sold! You had me at extras and sour cream.

Can't we just print some weed along with the nachos and pop tarts?

As a fellow member of the IEEE, I can attest to the wealth of articles on IEEExplore. It's possible I am one of the dunces of the IEEE, but man, some of those articles wind up in serious egghead land for me. Some scary smart people belong to this organization...

Seriously??? Vaccines give you autism? Whatever frigging dead trees land in your mailbox, please cancel them. Clearly your facts are out of wack.

Everyone knows that vaccines give you CANCER, not autism. Some people *shakes head sadly*

I read about it on google news, caught the facts from several sources, then came to /. to see what my idiot nerdy colleagues thought about the news. Anyone coming to slashdot for breaking news are the same folk who use /. poll results for any useful stats...

Change ok to of in my last sentence. Damn autocorrect....

If the Dakar rally, World Cup, or World Series of Poker were bombed, we'd hear about that too. Bombings of sporting events make news no matter in the world they are...this is not a US story, this is a world event.

Look at how many different nationalities are represented in a top level marathon - the Olympics are the only more diversified sport event I can think ok.

and would be a nifty trick for them to leapfrog to polar flights since they haven't had smashing success with their rocket program thus far.

Hey now - the US has a desert! :)

Too lazy to search for the actual article, but search Wikipedia for Sept 26, 1983 - that's the day it happened. Stanislav something or other - guy actually saved the world that day.
