  1. Whats left out, of course, is its not a done deal. They can still, and probably will, appeal the decision of the Judge.
  2. Yeah, I guess we should throw out all the laws that protect people from the actions of Coinyes creator and just forget them because it's Kanye West... smh, people he DOES have the law on his side... Shall I quote it for you?
  3. False and misleading title says it all. From the article: "Currently I'm doing a short piece on CEO McAdam's speech on Monday, where he mentioned that 'heavy users' should 'help contribute to the investment to keep the web healthy. Could we get some clarification from Verizon on who these 'heavy users' are? Right now, it seems that Mr. McAdams (sic) is in favor of charging both consumers and companies more if they use more bandwidth, and I'd like to make sure I'm not mis-interpreting."" Both Consumers and Companies be the keyword... singling out just gamers is wrong and dishonest!
  4. Probably doesn't, though this is the whole reason xcoins are pretty stupid to get involved in, without some sort of regulatory issuing body. At least, if they had that, there would be some kind of compensation. I don't even know if a user could sue Mt. Gox for lost coins, I'd have to check up on that. It'd be interesting case law, because technically there is no way to know the value at time of theft to reimburse anyone, let alone with the bankruptcy screwing that up to shed its debts.
  5. Welp, sadly Russian Armor has moved into Crimea to "protect its fleet". With them getting, or trying to get basing rights throughout the world, it looks like it will be a real push for Ukraine.
  6. I couldn't help but maybe give him a hint "Article 9".
  7. Well, sorta, you have to get into what is classed as a whistleblower and what you have to do to gain that class of protection. Running to the media and then hiding doesn't really give you whistleblower protections, it makes you a criminal. If Snowden would have followed established procedures and protocols, then he would be a whistleblower.
  8. This, its the common evolution of technology. Sometimes I wonder if people would rather have North Korea being the first to create this, or the United States.
  9. Correct, thats the thinking of course, but with the KGB you never know. Well, now the FSB, but its just the KGB with another name when you look at the powers they have, etc. When I mentioned Afghanistan (giving a slight history lesson, forgive me), I was referring to the initial taking of Afghanistan. When the Soviet Union and the KGB went into Afghanistan the first thing they did was seize, by force, a lot of the key Government and Police buildings. It was really bloody and really well executed honestly. Within less then a day, they controlled pretty much all the key buildings. With Putin being Putin and exKGB, he knows the history and the details of that operation, and Ukraine ain't Afghanistan so it'd be a lot easier. Afghanistan, the real reason they lost was the fact that the Afghan People were able to wear them down in really horrible terrain. Sure the weapons played a very small part, but not nearly that big to matter much. They'd have still won without us, just would have taken longer.
  10. Well, they are supposedly Russian Separatists. I give it a 50/50 thats what they are and not Russians. When you take all the current facts in, and the fact that Putin is old school KGB and I am sure remembers what the KGB did in Afghanistan.
  11. I'm not arguing that they don't deserve independence or anything like that. When people start saying the UK doesn't have any enemies, I'll use it to show that they do. It shouldn't deter them from trying to get independence if they want it, but it does show that you can't claim no enemies. Heads up though, we might be heading into Ukraine. Looks like Russians (residents of Ukraine supposedly) wearing fatigues and carrying automatic weapons have stormed the regional parliament in Crimea and raised the Russian flag. I say supposedly because of two key factors, Russia is sheltering the ousted President AND Russia just so happens to have a Naval Base right there, while launching armed interceptors to patrol the border. Along with saying they will respond to "defend the rights of its compatriots and react without compromise to any violation of those rights." Eyewitness reports put them as Russian speakers (no surprise considering the region), but were wearing uniforms with no markings. Along with docking warships in Cuba.
  12. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scotland/9616006/Britains-enemies-will-exploit-Scottish-independence-to-cut-UK-power.html There ya go, it was said by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the MPs. The interesting thing is, on page one I go into it a little.
  13. Wow... Okay, let me quote what I TYPED since obviously you skimmed over it rather then read it. I'll bold my words so its more clearer so maybe this time you will comprehend what I typed up. Notice NOT ONCE did I relate the two together. Actually the reference to using the Scottish Independence is a reference to Argentina and getting the UK out of the "Five" and installing themselves. Something reported by the British Government I might add, wanna call me a lair on that too? Make more sense now, or do I need to explain in little little words that are easier then what I have done before and now? If you're going to call me a lair, you might want to have something to actually back it up with instead of lies of your own! Interesting how that worked out there, isn't it.
  14. The Veyron topped out at 254.04 mph driven by Anthony Liu. Thats lower then the Venom GT. Which numbers do you have?
  15. I'm still waiting for you to give me specifics, or do you just like saying things without proof? I've offered to give proof to things you question, yet you won't tell me what. FYI, if you call me extremist, I wonder what you call Al Qaeda or what you called Usama Bin Laden. Especially considering I'm not even defending someone who put everyones lives at risk every time he leaks something new. So what you are saying is that everyone should be able to leak information to the media, no matter the harm it causes to a Country even if its only a single thing that matters to you? Wow, people call me extremist, but you Sir take the cake. You'd risk the lives of everyone so one little thing can come out, that is crazy and dangerous as hell. I hope and pray that the next thing doesn't turn into causing a war. Though, Russia looks poised to start one without it. Good old Russians that are caring for good old Snowden.
