Problem is, "mail" (technically maille) is what we usually call chainmail.

It's not called splintmail. You could get away with splint armour, but "coat of plates" is the correct term for the torso protection.

I've actually got a consumer-line thinkpad. Most durable consumer laptop I've ever seen.

I've got a buddy who did repairs for a few years. The most common laptop to fix was asus, and they were always hell because plastic broke

around here, but I've never had a bad experience with a thinkpad.

I've just had bad experiences everything I've tried other than thinkpads. That includes ideapads, btw. Never tried a dell, they're rare->

What business laptop would you recommend from another brand? I haven't come across anything that's nearly as good for me as a thinkpad

Also, fuck imgur comments. 140 characters isn't enough to have a conversation.

more than the average laptop, and they do that well.

Believe what you want. There's a reason thinkpads are well known for being durable, and it's not random chance. They're built to withstand

The screen assembly is also much more sturdy than on many other laptops (including macbooks), since the mounting holes aren't inline

A friend of mine dropped his thinkpad from table height, and it landed on the corner. The plastic got slightly scuffed.

Have you ever touched a thinkpad? He's not talking about the average lenovo laptop, but the thinkpad range, which is much more sturdy.

That was how all humans hunted before we had bows and stuff like that

I mean, I've taken out the trash in the nude before. It's not that big of a deal to be nude here. At least not as much as in the US.

Dragon, actually. It's Duke, their mascot

It's perfectly legal to be nude in public in Denmark as long as nobody feels offended. Nobody takes advantage of it, except at beaches.

If you look carefully, you can see dots in some of the rosettes. Only jaguars have those. Also, shape of the skull is too broad for leopards

Good job on completely missing the point.

Chainmail is defeated by a spear or a thrust with a longsword. Plate isn't.

So, nothing even remotely like a rogue-like. Jesus...

That's not a rogue-like. Not top-down, not turn-based, not a rogue-like

http://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/35373/st09134-en18.pdf Nope, no mention of that at all in the proposal. Previous version, not this one.

There's no mention of an automated system in the proposal. There used to be, but it was amended.

They don't have to check. If they are notified of infringement, they have to take it down, but they don't have to check beforehand.

That's another proposal, and not related to this one. I don't see how that's relevant.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They don't have to. When they're notified of infringing content, they have to "cooperate in good faith" to take it down. No screening needed

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I did. No mention of 1 hour takedowns, only "cooperation in good faith". Can you tell me where it says takedown within 1 hour?

Good thing the "law people" won't have a say. If it passes, member countries have to set up talks about best practises with stakeholders.
