Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Bobcats advance: Two goals by Thomas lift OR to semis
Monday, November 4, 2013
DURHAM ― Aidan Conrad learned something from his assistant coach before the Oyster River High School boys soccer team began the Division II tournament last week.
Thomas scored the game-winning goal in the 65th minute when he got control of the ball in a crowd in front of the Raiders' net following a well-placed corner kick by Patrick Mulhern. Thomas controlled the ball on a bounce and swept it into the net with his right foot and Oyster River led 2-1.
"Emotions were up there," Dutka said. "It was wicked intense with the crowd and everything. I can't thank my whole team enough. They played great."
"That's killer," Crull said about the Raiders' untimely score. "But we settled down at halftime. We talked about it. We still didn't execute as much as we wanted to, but we got our set-play goals." |

Carp??? What does fishing have to do with this?
Put Joe's gold into the blender and then sprinkle it down like gold dust. Everyone will shine for a while but it will all wash off and flow toward the ocean along with the jobs Joe created. With big business being the only survivor, they can pay us whatever they darn well please.
This is the litmus test. "can't" is a contraction for "cannot". It is not a contraction for "can not". For "can not" to be correct, it has to be spelled out. "I can not swim" means "I can 'not swim'" (signifying a choice). It doesn't mean "I can't swim" (signifying an ability). And it is always polite to correct spelling and usage mistakes when a poster is complaining about someone else's spelling or usage. Regardless of the topic. Or irregardless of the topic! The Grammar Police are always watching!
loriglu wrote:Carp??? What does fishing have to do with this?
Cshupe didn't say "carp", s/he said "c.r.a.p." Woot has a very original (and often amusing) profanity filter. Whenever you see someone say something nonsensical, like Ovaltina, my goat, hit the reply button to see what they originally typed.

Rated #3 by Consumer Reports with a list price of $200. Only Vita-Mix and Blendtec were listed higher and both list for $400. This seems like a steal.

What a bunch of freaks... worried about oxidizing split berry seeds?
I have this blender. I use it primarily for making smoothies in the morning. I bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $200. Very expensive but definitely worth the price I paid and this is a great deal. I wash everything (except the rubber seal) in the dishwasher and the writing on the side of the glass pitcher has washed off after washing it for several months, but other than that no problems.
I'm going to contemplate this over a cappuccino from the breville espresso maker i bought a few weeks back.
ohh the taste of glory
New meme wanted. Apply within.?? willitblend.com
I bought this blender over a year ago at Bed, Bath and Beyond for about $180. It really is the best blender I've ever had. You can make snow out of ice cubes in about 10 seconds. If you are into making smoothies or frozen cocktails, go for it. If you use your blender to - I don't know - blend some eggs for when you make a cake once a year, don't. You wouldn't need that much power. I haven't had a problem with mine leaking. It comes apart easily (I always take it apart to wash it) but mine didn't come with that blade remover. For this price, I'd buy it if I didn't already have one. If you know anyone who loves to cook and doesn't have one of these, it would make an awesome gift. I never thought I would say a blender is an awesome gift llo.
Spelling and using what some people would call different sentence structure are two different things. However; you are correct in implying we should get on with our lives.
I own one of these blenders. It does an amazing job. Blends better than any other blender I have owned - hamilton beach, cuisinart. However - the blender requires disassembly after every use. The seal on the bottom allows contents to ooze into the bottom aparatus of the blender- get used to the tool in to picture that helps you removed the bottom assembly - you'll be using it a lot. I imagine the rubber seal on teh bottom will eventually wear to the point that it leaks - although it hasn't yet. I use it onece daily Owned for 3-4 months. hope this was helpful
Macy's sells this super star for $350, right now they have it for $250. We have bought several items from woot respiffied & had no problems. You would spend $80 bucks at Costco (which I love & work at) for a crappy Kitchen Aid that will only last 6 mos. This Breville is always highly rated, so seriously think about it.
dkrt wrote:Does anyone know if this can be put in the dishwasher....(not the base, of course, but the rest of it)?
According to Breville's site: Cleaning The jar features easy blade removal for thorough and effortless cleaning of the jar and Hemisphere™ Bowl/Blade System. All jar and blade parts are top-shelf dishwasher safe. The Bowl/Blade System easily locks into place and seals for leak-free performance.

I decided to do my part to help turn the state of New Hampshire a lighter shade of puke yellow! ( I swear, when the order went through page came up, it said... Everything went smoothie" I could be wrong...
If I had to do it all over again.... I would still shell out the playdough for my Blendtec. I absolutely love it. As long as I don't throw a cow into it, I shouldn't have to replace it until the motor dies, which shouldn't be for quite some time. There's nothing to screw/unscrew, so no leaks... and the flat panel interface is very tech. Love it.

I was about to buy one till I read this. I have a Vita-mix and it is very easy to clean, no disassembly required, and I have used it every day now for about 3 years now. I have never taken the bottom apparatus off, and I doo (mis-spell on purpose or woot makes this unreadable) not want to. I owned a Breville juicer for a while then sold it on eBay (started blending instead of juicing). The buyer said it soon broke and as I was about to send him the receipt (it was still under warranty). Breville actually sent him a brand new one without the receipt, pretty good service. Buy the way; while I owned it, it was a great juicer for me.

text: Does anybody have any experience with these. I looked one over at a gun show in Raleigh this past weekend and it looks promising. The laser activates when a person's finger goes inside the triggerguard and touchs a sensor pad. Deactivates in approx. 8 seconds when the finger is removed. Right now they are being made for Glocks, Kel-Tec, and Kahr's. According to their website they are coming out with a model for the XD in July. According to their website the unit is made in the US. It looks like a pretty durable unit, but looks can be decieving.

A Boston Red Sox fan, a Chicago Cubs fan and a NY Yankees fan were all in Saudi Arabia performing military duty for the US Army.
While off base, they were caught sharing a smuggled case of booze. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime they were sentenced to death!
With the help of good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment.
By a stroke of luck, a benevolent Sheik decided that they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik said, "Its my 1st wifes birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each one of you one wish before your whipping".
The Cubs fan was 1st in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The cubs fan was carried away bleeding and crying.
The Yankees fan was up next (he almost finished an entire 5th by
himself),and after watching the scene, said "OK please fix 2 pillows to my back." But even 2 pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Yankee fan crying like a baby.
The Red Sox fan was the last up (he had finished off the crate- given his allegiance, who could blame him), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said "you support the greatest baseball team in the world, your supporters are the best and most loyal fans in all the world. For this you may have 2 wishes".
"The Red Sox fan replied. "My first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes". "You are very brave," said the Sheik. "100 lashes so be it. And your second wish?"
"Tie the Yankee fan to my back."

The Americas and Europe have had their disagreements in the past; apparently, in this case, the "past" does not necessarily mean history, because recent events seem to foretell that the friction is alive and well! The EU is well known for its seeming hatred dislike of Microsoft (or Microsoft's business practices, whichever you prefer). First in 2004 they demanded that Microsoft release a version of Windows XP for Europe without Windows Media Player. Microsoft compiled and created Windows XP N. Then in 2009 the EU decided that shipping Windows 7 with Internet Explorer was also illegal. At first Microsoft said they would give Windows 7 the XP treatment and release a version of Windows 7 without Internet Explorer, called Windows 7 E. Now no one can say Europeans don't learn from their mistakes, because after the Windows XP N fiasco (no one bought it), Windows 7 E did not seem so appealing. So instead Microsoft is releasing an update to Windows 7 that presents the user with a randomly ordered list of other browses for users to install, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera or to keep Internet Explorer. However, this article is not about taking sides and deciding if EU was/is right on regulating Microsoft or not; I just wanted to give you a brief history on the EU-Microsoft relationship and, at the same time, use it as a segway for the topic at hand: A European target on Google's back.
In late 2006, students at a school in Turin, Italy uploaded a video to Google Video of them bullying an autistic schoolmate. As soon as Google was notified, they took down the video and helped Italian authorities track down the offenders. Most would agree Google reacted well in the situation and did right by taking down the video ASAP and helping Italian authorities; so the case closed, right? Wrong. A public prosecutor in Milan decided to indict four Google employees of criminal defamation and a failure to comply with the Italian privacy code over this incident. On February 24, a judge in Milan today convicted 3 of the 4 employees and found them guilty of failing to comply with Italian privacy code. All 4 were found not guilty of criminal defamation. Drama doesn't end there, though.
On the same day as the conviction, Google announced on its Google Public Policy Blog that 3 European companies, Foundem, ejustice.fr, and Ciao! from Bing, levied complaints against Google to the EU. According to Google, the three companies are charging Google with demoting their websites in search results because they are vertical search engines. Neither the EU nor any of companies from Europe have confirmed this as of now, but one would hardly think Google would publicly make an announcement if it held no little truth to it.
It seems Europe has had its fun with Microsoft and is now moving on to Google. Is it that Europe hate American tech powerhouses, or Europe is just more strict about "fair competition" (whatever that term may imply – keep in mind much of Europe is less capitalistic in terms of markets than the USA)? In that regard, it should also be mentioned that some of the companies that supposedly levied complaints against Google (remember the complaints have not been confirmed by the EU yet) have ties to Microsoft so to say Europe has an agenda against American companies would a tiny, itty-bitty stretch of the truth.
Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter in the comments below.
(Please keep in this mind this article is not pro/anti Europe, America, Google, Microsoft, etc. The humor in the article is just that – humor. We do no intend to take sides; rather we are just reporting the juicy details.)

I don't get it… how can Google still be sued or went to court or something when they "did the right thing" by taking the video off and telling the italian authorities about it?
The world now a days is so screwed up…
Europe should target Apple next, I don't want to be forced to use safari when ever… if I ever buy a mac computer
I'll add my two-penneth:
This is less about vengeance as it is about 'proving' to the 'European people' (that's how they see us; one amorphous mass) that the E.U. is on our side – 'trust us', so to speak.
There is, of course, a wide streak of anti-Americanism. They see the U.S as somehow stifling European innovation; not their own skip-full of regulations and socialist taxes being to blame.
Ashraf, I'm sorry to say you've swallowed the E.U.'s wishy-washy propaganda, regarding the E.U. being the brake on the desire of neighbouring European nations to go to war with each other. I'm afraid the peace in Europe (disregarding the slaughter of 100,000 in the Balkans; not in the E.U. at the time, but certainly 'in Europe'), since the end of the 2nd World War, is largely due to two factors: the tens of thousands of U.S. service personnel that remained in Germany after the war (and still do), alongside their weaponry, that could be turned, on a moment's notice, to face any European nation threatening to get out of hand again; and the unity, within NATO, to concentrate on the Soviet threat. The world's greatest bureaucracy (in both senses) – that of milk and butter mountains and the regulating of the curvature of bananas – hasn't had anything to do with it. In fact, after the devastation of a largely-European-instigated World War, European nations set about creating their (not the people's) socialist utopia, leaving the U.S. and NATO (mainly the U.S.) to prevent any more conflict and keep a check on Stalin and his friends. They haven't ever felt duty bound to help. France only recently bothered to join NATO.
I don't know the merits of either of the E.U.'s recent investigations, but people shouldn't believe E.U. apparatchiks have any desire to fulfil the wishes of the people of the nations that make up the E.U. It's a racket, in which we 400-odd million suffer.
Slightly more than two-penneth, I think. A little bit of a rant, maybe.
This is funky…European Union isnt one European state…
EU is only an update Schengen Agreement for law… EU government doesnt commands laws for countries in EU. Every member has "veta" vote. There are only directive about donation to and from EU to concrete country and penale for many thing. Main problems are hypermarkets. They are monopol on this playground and small and normal Agriculture company have problem to sell anything with earnings… There are extreme difference in law. In France cant download multimedia, they are warned by mail and on second download state blocked their IP (mac) adress. My law are opposite. I can download any media but cant seed. I pay to "Trade Union copyright" on any media storage buy but i have no problem with music or films for personal use…There are many difference, not only the law, but language, habits and thinking… MS a google problems are not the same. MS is a monopol problem and video on google is "social law" problem. In google problem is primary question who upload the video. If google cant backtrack it or he cant say, then this is google problem. It is like Torrent tracker problem. Torrent tracker havent any illegal data, but user have. If provider of tracker cant say, who is seeder and is uncooperative with BSA, provider assumes the responsibility of a problemBTW monopols are ony milking cows for EU parlament
Hey Ashraf,
look at here:
An example of good (web) crime concerning privacy violation….LOL!
Yes, INTERNET would be a great revolutionary means for the global spread of DEMOCRACY throughout the world if only it was used properly!!
That's why (Italian) Politicians don't like the WEB and try to discourage people to use it instead of the TV with stupid bills almost a daily basis…LOL!!
That said, it's a shame that in my country (Italy) we don't have such kind of heroic hackers, otherwise many financial crimes carried out here at the expense of taxpayers would eventually emerge as first step to replace our current corrupted system ruled by BANKS through the Caste of Politicians at their beck and call.
What about in US??
I guess that if anything like this occurred in US many Wall Streets Bankers and politicians (even Obama??) would start shaking with fear…LOL!
# STEFAN & co
"EU doesn't care about people, they only care about companies"
Are you joking man?? Come on, be serious!!
What about GOOGLE (US multinational monopolist company, right??) that, in the name of BU$INE$$, has supinely accepted for years to be subject to the bloody CENSORSHIP LAWS of countries like CHINA and most of the Islamic ones in the Middle east??
Are you aware of these despotic rules?? So what??
So on one hand GOOGLE (and US people like you and maybe Ashraf himself, right??) complained about an Italian sentence that, condemning GOOGLE employees, has in their view undermined the fundamental principle of freedom of speech on the web (what about the breach of the laws?? LOL!), but on the other hand GOOGLE itself (and MICROSOFT) never lifted a finger against illiberal countries around the world (China, Islamic countries, Russia) in which they make lots of money without caring for the despotic rules (==> CENSORSHIP on the Search Engine searches, for instance) put forward by the local Governments as means to keep the public opinion under control.
That's why I found the reaction of GOOGLE over the Italian sentence mentioned above ridiculous as well as out-of-touch and a little bit hypocrit.
Freedom of expression doesn't mean you can do whatever you like online and, if you don't mind, posting a video of violence committed against an autistic boy, is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE that must be prosecuted under Italian laws as GOOGLE should remove that video INSTANTLY and not just a few days later after being notified by police.
And anyway it's a half sentence since the defendants have been acquitted on slander charges which where the most serious accusation against them.
What the sentence has established is the principle of responsibility, namely the duty of the provider to control in some way what is actually put into its network.
As far as I'm aware, the U.S. Government does not agree with the prior liability of Internet services providers such as Google whenever an illegal content is published on their platform, but whether one likes it or not this liability exists in the Italian system and for this reason must be enforced.
And anyway what about BIG BROTHER GOOGLE??
Don't you care about the privacy issue??
Do you know that AOL and GOOGLE know and keep records of everything you search for online?
Do you know how many data GOOGLE knows about us?
Look at here:
The version that lawmakers (especially in US) is foisting upon naive people like you is that governments and corporations should have control over your private information, but only the "right" people (Google boys, right??LOL!!) will be allowed to access it.
In my humble view both privacy and anonymity are a strong safeguard against totalitarianism, tyranny, oppression, and corruption and must be protected as essential rights at all costs.
Those who wish to strip the "protections" of a free society such as people's privacy should be viewed with the greatest suspicion, as you can't protect the freedom of speech by destroying the basis of a free society (free competition, people's privacy, free market etc…) for profit's sake.
For this reason I strongly believe that we should have many quality search engines out there besides GOOGLE that actually believe in protecting our privacy rights rather than selling our "habits" and "tastes" to big corporation and Public Bodies as instead GOOGLE does on a daily basis.
Because of this policy, PRIVACY on the web is increasingly under attack day by day, as out searches and websites visits are recorded and combined into personal and behavioral profiles by the major search engines such as GOOGLE whose multibillionaire business is to send this sensitive data to corporations and ads agency.
In fact, as you should know, while you are searching something on the the internet, these engines register the time of your searches, the terms you used, the sites you visited and your IP address that makes it possible to trace your computer or even the household that carried out the search.
And in most cases people are completely unaware of this kind of threat while surfing the net!!!
Don't get me wrong!! I don't hate Google but I do think we need to support alternatives as don't like the idea that our every Internet activity may be tracked by only one search engine in the world every bloody day 24-hour-round-the-clock…LOL!
This is the real battle that everybody in the world should pursuit for the (real) freedom's sake.
So if I were in your shoes I'd be much more worried about this tricky matter rather than the decisions of the European and Italian justice against GOOGLE and MICROSOFT "anarchy" and their monopolist predatory abuse on the worldwide market….LOL!
Take care!!
I like that EU is keeping big companies in check. It is true that usually there is no change for the end user, but the corporations need to feel they can't do what they want. Otherwise they get too have too much power, and that is not the best of ideas :)
This goes to comment # 3 above, Stefan… it is amazing how it sounds like you are talking about the US and the US Gov. and US companies and MS, etc.!… as for MS and Google and all the rest, there are so many "slopes" to this mountain!… balance, fairness, logic, good sense, ethics, etc. I personally consider it is stupid that the judge is finding those employees guilty, yet, I also happen to believe that freedom is a delicate thing and unfortunately, most people can't live up to it… so, do I consider the gun the problem, or simply the finger that pulls the trigger? do i consider YouTube accountable, or only the people who upload the content? etc. Know what this makes me think of? An episode of the TV series NUMBERS… this guy kills his victims on the internet, by speeding up or slowing down the process by releasing more acid in the water tank the guy is immersed in, as per number of viewers online who login to the page where the cam is showing the victim dying as she burn away immersed in acid… Ooops… the guy is not accountable, it's the viewers… they are the ones loging and speeding up the release of the acid… darn! who needs hegemonic, totalitarian regimes anyway, be it the US of A or the EU or China or whoever they are!? ultimately, it all boils down to individual choices… using ms windows, ie, firefox, the internet, or not at all! but by the same token, c**p!, pedophiles claim that they have the right to do what they do… and when our privacy is violated (and it IS daily!) who is to blame? if you think this is humor(ous) then think again!… it really isn't! it is in fact pretty sad, and even sadder is when it is all linked and people fail to see it… because it is by the same logic, the same principles, that people are all wrapped up in the same labels, and sold out as "this" or "that" be it because they are pro gates and MS, or against, pro US or against, pro EU or not really, and muslims, christians, etc., are all considered to be "the same"… the human tendency to make generalizations is simply a fact, and it is part of the fiber of humanity — it is how we make sense of the world and how we find some sanity —, but can be and often is and has appalling results!… much needed is the ability, the capacity to step back and not bag up anything, anyone, as being all the same… and don't get me started on all the c**p that goes around with global money market domination, health control, vaccines, big pharma, gmos, exploitation of natural resources, etc. it would be a never ending discussion. one can always play the devil's advocate, but even the term itself implies that someone is the good guy and someone is the bad guy, doesn't it? by the end of the day, we stand alone in out decisions… we use the tools that we consider make life easier, better, etc., and personally, i hope my choices will have as much as possible a positive impact on others around me, and as little as possible negative impact. in the big scheme of things, it is like ghandi said, what each one of us does is insignificant, yet, it is important that we do it. so, this is not about the eu or the us, about vengeance, or about even justice… it's simply about human frailties. and yes, i do believe that people who publicly serve content, and make it available, can not just be given a brake, but should be accountable if they serve pedophile materials, promote hatred, etc. if they can make millions and billions developing smart algorithms to channel ads and pub revenue into their and their investors pockets, they should be able to do same to block such content from being spidered, indexed, promoted, etc. what about, for example, google showing up paid advertising of fake make easy money schemes? same! yes, they are responsible and should be! what about PayPal conning people, stealing their money? same! what about chinese fake websites selling non-existing products? ditto! but again, all this is only a reflection of the same: human greed, profits being more important than people; companies not giving a c**p about people (and yes, stefan, it aplies to the US of A as it does to the EU and China and the rest!…), so, singling out one block, one creed, one country, it never, NEVER helps in doing more than creating more hatred, more animosity, more contention…
Maybe the video is not a question of freedom of information, as they are presenting the manager of Google. Here in Italy in some newspapers and blogs you can read testimonials to the fact that the cancellation does not actually occurred so immediately. As you said rightly, we can make serious comments when the ruling is published.

Europe consists of many historically independent states, we are not a USE, and we have a tradition for many small companies, and they don't have a chance against corporations like Microsoft or Google, which by them selves can monopolize the whole world if the governments don't set limits for their power. Even the American government try from time to time to stop fe Microsoft.
If Linux didn't exist it was only a question of time before Microsoft would have a total world monopoly on the operating system market, and then it would be the end of capitalism as Microsoft could tap money out everywhere.
Google is a really intelligent company, but within some years Google would be synonymous with the Internet, from your machines, through the plug in your wall, through the cables and the backbone net, and the central software, and how do you think the capitalistic system would have it with such a monopoly?One way to conquer your competitors is to give software away with your own products competing with your competitors products, in that way you removes their economic base, and when they are out of the market, you can set the price for your own software without consideration of competitors. And what can't be conquered can be bought, or nearly.
The software culture around fe Linux, and Firefox can't be bought, and thats the main reason that there are a somewhat lively free software culture today, but without that, the US patent rules on the software area would have killed any innovation. -
It seems to me that you are a too bit quick in asserting that "EU doesn't care about people"

Finally I have just this to say. Both Google & Microsoft used totally different strategies to defend themselves in EU. Google got away with it; Microsoft didn't. This is only my personal view YMMV. :)
Google – cleverly (but speciously) denied guilt even though they were guilty. YMMV
Microsoft sadly caved in to pressure even though it wasn't guilty YMMV
Google – can no longer get away saying that it is only a "search engine guy" but not responsible for any bad video getting hosted. No way. This time it was one violent video. Tomorrow it could be worse.
Here's why.
We all are aware that Google is now working out algorithms for mapping genetic code aka gene mapping. For the sake of discussion let us say that they complete this task over the next 5 years. Let us say that some dottechie were to invoke this service from Google (i.e. a gene map of himself/herself) and act upon that information. Let us say that a Google data entry operator keyed in the gene code wrongly because of which that dottechie suffered, simply because that dottechie acted upon that incorrect information. Would that dottechie, or any of those who posted on this thread or any of those 228 who have already viewed it so far accept that Google's core competency only extends as far as the search engine but not to the correctness of the data which got keyed in? Does that data entry operator working for Google deserve to be retained or fired? You tell me. :(
God writes genetic maps & takes responsibility for that. Were Google to write gene maps (nothing wrong there) shouldn't Google take responsibility for it? :(
That's my take on Google YMMV even on the "cruel video case". :(
Microsoft – caved in to pressure even though Microsoft is not guilty. Microsoft Windows OS is too good a product in terms of 2 aspects – "Fault Tolerance" & "Mission Criticality". Very few software can match up to that. This huge wonderful gritty company while it does make several bloopers ;) has won a large user base because of "Fault Tolerance" & "Mission Criticality" & is ironically hated because of it!
I am surprised how in this EU thing it could only see a sea of justice department inspectors & nothing else & so caved in to those inspectors! Sheesh! They accomodated on WinXp de-integration, got shafted, agreed on Win& de-integration & again got shafted. Why? A classic case of kindness getting mistaken for weakness.
Were Microsoft to refuse to back down & suspended sales to Europe the other guy (aka EU) would have just blinked & capitulated – so that the stalemate would have come to an end. USA is perhaps even now EU's largest export market. USA is in any case till recently (before EU became bigger than USA) the largest market in the whole world! :)
Forget the EU justice inspectors. Most Europeans travel to the US day in & day out. You mean to say those travellers won't pick up a Windows OS (fully integrated version) from USA if it were not available in Europe. Global citizens as far as I know are very smart. They know which side of the bread is buttered. There are various different hues when it comes to "patriotism" – it is quite nuanced! ;)
When trickle turns to flood even the EU would regularize that "Fully Integrated OS". You know why? Not because of a sense of civic kindness to citizens but because what Europe would lose in terms of GDP is what USA would gain in terms of GDP! Microsoft would still not lose sales – (at least in terms of physical units if not in $ sales). Sales lost in Euros would be sales gained in Dollars. :)
We live in a world where nations, companies & users are always competing. That is why in my personal view had Microsoft done what I am suggesting – the user, the country (aka EU) & the company (Microsoft) – all 3 would have benefitted. YMMV
I've faced this stalemate scenario – albeit not on such a gargantuan scale. I can tell you that sometimes you can make the other guy blink first. :)

I totally support Google if it chooses to totally remove a website from indexation or gives it a very low PageRank. I say this for 2 reasons:-
1)Despite global market leadership (around 80% worldwide mkt share) Google is perhaps the "only" search engine which strictly follows a policy of *no paid inclusion*. Ads are shown separately & labelled as such. Most search engine offer higher page ranking if you pay for it. This is called "Paid Inclusion" e.g. Yahoo mixes results of "Paid Inclusions" & "Non-Paid Inclusions" :)
2)Search engines & online apps are known to be notoriously unprofitable. :( Ad revenues thin out also because users have browser tools to block ads. Revenues are also low because everyone wants everything free. :( Users are not willing to pay a subscription to use a search engine. Wikipedia tried a subscription search engine & withdrew because users would not accept it. Yahoo even got almost sold out. Guys Google rocks in this respect. So let's not criticise them on this aspect.
3)Google bit the bullet & succeeded because of it. Many search engines hosted their search on a web portal & earned revenues during dotcom boom & after. We all know web portals have succeeded more than web sites. Google wisely stuck to a minimalist website (& not a web portal), forgoed revenue (which a web portal would have given it) & ultimately succeeded. Those two co-owners are admirably bright & do have their finger on the button, in this respect.
Google got its act right. The right to determine PageRank is best left totally to Google. Its like the restaurant which says – "Rights Of Admission Reserved". The restaurant reserves exclusive right to permit visitors or not.
Google should have total right to determine PageRank & even de-Indexation. In any case they have a EULA & Privacy Rights which already covers this even before a web page gets indexed.

The Google cruel video casePerhaps this was the "first violent video case which got prosecuted" or "at least the first violent video of violence perpetrated upon an autism patient" It is horrible irrespective of whichever of the 2 categories it fell into.
That said the judge acted correctly but Google erred.
Judge – He correctly assessed the nature of crime, nature of its perpetrators & the punishment awarded:-
1)The judge punished the school students who perpetrated the ghastly act to 10 mths community service rather than imprisoning them in a jail for delinquents. Smart work there. However I do hope, since it was a ghastly crime, his sentence did not run concurrently with their school education. For 10 months the school should have given those offenders "leave of absence" so that during those 10 months those students – did not attend school at all but "only" did community service. Hopefully when those errant students completed school the Principal of that school would have given a passout certificate which only mentioned "leave of absence" rather than "punishment at the hands of the police". If that Principal erred, the sad consequence is, that one single silly action would have bred sociopaths who from now onwards would keep beating autistic patients simply because they hold the "blameless autistic students" responsible for all their travails suffered in their stigmatized lives. I hope the Principal was as wise as the Judge.
Google – Its argument that that Google is:-
1)Only "an algorithm creator"2)Search engine algorthisms are mind-bogglingly complex to create
3)Only a "video file creator" & not "video file hoster" should be punished . Google argued that it only hosted the file & did not create it. It also argued that it took off the video immediately upon receiving complaints.The argument was clever but specious.
Sorry I don't buy that argument. To me "its a buck stops here thing". Google staff may disagree purely because they are an "interested party" & it puts their employment at risk. It still won't change my thinking. Why do I say this?
Companies sometimes (definitely in this case) argue out what are their "core competencies" are & sometimes gullible judges get swayed by "eloquence" & "clever wordplay rather than sense".
WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT A COMPANIES ACTIVITIES BE "ALLOWED" TO BE RESTRICTED ONLY TO ITS CORE COMPETENCIES. Why do you insist that a chemical company have incinerators & "de-pollutant equipments"? Would you accept if that chemical company turned around & said that "incineration" & "de-pollutionizing" were not its core competencies? You do not accept the "restrict-to-core-competency-argument" argument simply because pollution hurts everyone. When we are wise enough to understand this just because it is tangible to see pollution & smoke are we foolish enough to deny it just because pollution is sometimes invisible?
The "violent video" was a "pollution" of a different kind. That video "could have" enraged the parents & siblings of other autists across the world in giving vent to rage on some innocent bystander. Give me a break guys. Don't we know "road rage" exists? How can we deny "video rage" doesn't? Do not videos of terrorists incite terror & violence? Cannot a video showing violence perpetrated upon an autist do the same……..at least somewhere….at least for some people……at least some times? People are known to react if someone beats animals; here someone was beating a human.
Therefore to the leaders of Google I respectfully suggest that they also develop algorithms to pop up such videos on their servers "before their servers release it to the public domain". Those videos could flash a warning signal to the Google Server. If not getting auto deleted, such videos should at least throw up popups. Too bad if it reduces Google's profit margins.
The world today does have its share of frustrated souls with short fuses.
I confidently know such algorithms are mathematically possible in software engineering.
Btw I do know that Microsoft's operating profit as % of sales in 2008 was 35% & that of Google was 30%. "So no one is trying to skin an emaciated dying animal even before it died". I admire both Microsoft & Google. I suggest whatever I suggest as their well wisher.
Accountability & proactivity has to kick in else this farce would continue to play out across the auditoriums of our imperfect world….to very sad consequences.
Incidentally Google has the largest concentration of the world's finest mathematicians in the whole world.
3)I also hope that judges get swayed by sense & not eloquence
Ramesh :)
About how i use my players and browsers.I.E.8 i used for HP addon(not work with Firefox) and also for Fireshot(but this work also with Firefox).Ie and Firefox are to slow for me and usual i use (in the past:Avant browser)Slim browser.Ie is necesarry for some programs but not for majority.Almost it can be replaced by Firefox.W.Media Players is good but not perfect.I use also others 3-4 players for what i need.E.U. reaction it can say that is little exagerated because peoples choise:quality,what they think that is necesary for their life and the speed(want a very fast browser)and because non exist a perfect soft,they use more browser or players so the conditions of democratie is all right.Here i East of E.U. i think that majority use XP with I.E. whithout any problems,only rich peoples use:Vista or Windows 7 because it come with computer when you buy this computer and is too expansive for majority soo they use second hand with XP like me,and probably are a lot of peoples that use trial version and after 1-2 month format computer and reinstall s.o. like me(because i don't want to use crack)and i don't have enough money to buy s.o.We are in general too poor for this.So we became expert in install and reinstall s.o.

I think Europe is being "vengeful" rather than "judgementally impartial". This is IMHO, commentors YMMVHere's why:-
There are 3 parties & there is an "optical illusion" as well. :) The 3 parties are "users", "company" & "country".1)User – Always has a right to choose what he wishes – whether from a ballot box or via any other arrangement. That for me is a "given" in any market. :)
2)Country – No country can claim to be "nobler" than any company ;) – even though countries often claim that! This is the "optical illusion" I had referred to. :) Vice versa no company can claim to be "nobler" than any country….."always". I for one never believe judiciary is untainted "always" just because it is judiciary. This is true for most judiciaries. This is because countries show as much evidence of monopolistic tendencies as companies do. Therefore countries "are not necessarily snow whites always" even if they like to allege that companies "are black devils always – especially larger companies". Countries will always compete with other countries just as they will also collaborate.
I've never ever bought the argument that large companies are "black devils". If size correlates with devilry then 100% of the time EU's GDP is >>>>>>> than Microsoft's or Google's combined turnovers. So what does that prove? Since both EU & the 2 companies are "interested parties" these cases should have been tried in the International Court of Justice rather than EU court. :)
3)Companies will always compete against other companies. If a prosecutor company is a competitor of the defendent company its "competitorness" is immaterial to the case. The judge should evaluate a case based upon merits & not on whether the prosecutor was a competitor or not. :)
This is merely a practical affirmation that we live in a world which is at least "tricky invariably" or "tough most of the time". Users, companies & countries need to develop survival skills rather than seeking mollycoddling always.
If a guy on the street harasses a lady, a citizen could very well defend that lady. Why should a judge object just because the defender was a competitor of the attacker. The only important thing is that the lady got saved. :) This preamble precedes the specifics only to give you my line of thought.
Subsequent to this I'll get into the specifics of the excellent examples you've raised in your appreciably inimitable manner. I would also end with suggesting some solutions just so the matter does not merely end with analysis. Hopefully those would help – "user", "country" & "company" SIMULTANEOUSLY. I'll try to do it apolitically else it could harm the blogsite itself.
Ramesh :) -
EU doesn't care about people, they only care about companies, I bet in the Microsoft-case there was another company that complained, not a individual. EU has strange laws, if one product is allowed in one EU-country all other countries has to allow that product to, I remember thee was some thing about a pesticide that was illegal (was considered dangerous for people) in, I think it was Germany (can be wrong), and another company wanted sell it there and went to EU to be able to sell it, I think they got the right to sell it. EU don't give a c**p about people, they only serves companies that pays EU, and maybe Microsoft and Google didn't. EU is now a giant that was first thought to be a local UN for Europe, but now it has God-complex and want to be the the ruler of Europe, and doesn't give a damn about peace and such, now it want to regulate everything, they want to emulate USA/Russia, like one government (EU) and all the countries has little or no local laws, all laws is controlled in EU parliament. That's why they are after the big USA companies that are threaten EU, the big companies that are in EU is afraid of the big global companies in the US, it's USA vs EU. And look up "ACTA" (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) on the net to see how EU cares about people.
The logic is:if one(company,person) have too much power(in competition with others),the rest will be slave.It is a social-democrathic capitalism that i think thath is not very bad but need all time to make some change for the better and corrections.Ideea is to not have dictatorship.We have:Hitler and Stalin and others.We don't need another leaders like this peoples.It is a stupidity for example to have a king of E.U.

It's time to unleash your inner Halo fanboy, because we have some goodies for you. Hot off the screen grab black market, we've received some fresh Halo 3 alpha screenshots for your viewing pleasure. German website Evo-X posted seven un-seen screen grabs of the Halo 3 alpha build. And surprisingly enough, the quality of the shots is pretty good. From these new screens we noticed the HUD has a slight concave effect and can clearly see the new spike grenades situated on the top left. There are also a few shots that showcase a letter/number combination over teammates heads, which is either their login name, some sort of alpha crud, or has something to do with the rumored military rank. Ok, enough reading already! We're proud to present all seven leaked Halo 3 alpha screen grabs after the jump ... but remember guys these are shots of the alpha version.
Update 1: It looks like Evo-X has crippled under the server stress. But our readers are a resourceful bunch.
[Thanks, JesseBlue]

The Koinonia retreat weekend is an experience in Christian community based on the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ – his life, death and resurrection – designed principally for college students (undergraduate or graduate). The retreat is offered from a Catholic perspective; however, non-Catholics are welcomed as well.
Fellowship – The Greek word "Koinonia" means "fellowship." This Catholic retreat offers a chance to get to know others who take their faith seriously, but not so seriously that they forget that fellowship requires others to feel comfortable.
Fun – The retreat is filled with surprises, laughter and most of all – fun.
Food – There is no need to bring food. We will supply all the snacks, regular meals and treats.
Faith – Discussion is all student-led and given in a relaxed and caring atmosphere.
Future – Strengthen your relationship with God and fill your future with new and supportive friends.
Price: $75
"Koinonia helped me live out my faith on a daily basis and I have made friends that bring me closer to God every

Cornwall illegal waste family told to pay £450,000
A family being told to pay more than £450,000 in fines and costs for an illegal waste operation shows such offences are taken seriously, environmental health officers say.
Eight members of the Buckland family admitted charges of illegal waste disposal in Cornwall.
Several thousand tonnes of waste were dumped at Rocks Farm, Bugle, from 2003 to 2011, Truro Crown Court heard.
The Environment Agency and police worked together on the case.
Waste offenders
- Shirley Buckland, 64, of Mandalay House, Bugle
- Leeroy Buckland, 34, of Minorca Lane, Bugle
- Jason Buckland, 40, of Station Road, St Austell
- Paul Crocker, 43, of The Barn, Lower Rescorla Farmhouse, St Austell
- Shane Buckland, 35, of Mayfair Caravan Park, St Austell
- James Crocker, 45, of Aviemore House, Bugle
- Karl Buckland 36, of Mayfair Caravan Park, St Austell
- Roseanne Buckland, 33, of Minorca Lane, Bugle
The eight defendants had previously pleaded guilty to a series of waste offences, including the storage, disposal and or recycling of waste without a permit.
It was estimated more than 4,500 cubic metres of waste had been illegally land-filled at Rocks Farm, the court heard.
Environment Agency officers also found septic tanks that were not working properly and sewage was being discharged to groundwater.
Of the £457,209 of fines and costs, the family was ordered to repay £365,275 made in profits from the waste operation.
The eight members of the Buckland family were also ordered to pay a total of £91,934 in fines and costs at a sentencing hearing at Truro Crown Court on Monday.
Andy Gardiner, from the Environment Agency, said: "The size of fines and proceeds of crime payment demonstrates how seriously the courts now take environmental offences."
