It was a DVD case for me, but that was the GOTY edition.

So life-long criminals who traffic drugs, guns and slaves will suddenly get white-collar jobs as pharmaceutical representatives lead exemplar lives and start paying taxes? Can't say I share that outlook. Who's talking about legalising the slave trade? Armaments dealing is still pretty legal the last time that i checked.

Depends on your politics Yup, i would be actually interested in how the media would report it, and how leaders of different countries would comment it. //EDIT For the record i see the irony of the champion of free information and transparancy doesn't like having his personal whereabouts made public. But i do think that there's a major difference between a guy's geographical position and the transparancy of governments and corporations. Just saying.

So, are there going to be celebrations when Assange finally is killed, wikileaks shut down and order restored? Will we be a closer step to winning the war on terror?

I have no idea how you count, but we have ~100 murders per year in Sweden. 3000 is 30 times more than 100, not 3 times more. I missed a zero

Thanks for the GB/Game length-ratios everyone! Seems like it has less to with each other after all! Looks actually much better than what i previously thought. The hud has distinctive colors (hope that it is editable though) and the combat reminds me of every other RtwP that's out there.

...and why hasn't he resigned yet? Let alone being sent to The Hague? Sounds like a response that you would get from soviet Pravda or from the foreign relations beauro in Pyongyang. Simply juvenile.

I tried to appeal to your yanks' sense of decency, but alas, i failed.

Is there an official game length/HD space-ratio that i should know about? Would you like me to make one for you? Please do

Yeah, i avoid them whenever i can.

I agree. Tied as best movie of 2010 along with Rare Exports. When reading about how the attack was planned and conducted, i thought for a moment that i read the manuscript for the movie instead.

Is there an official game length/HD space-ratio that i should know about?

**** Well, the initial release date was the same as for Dragon Age 2, so this might have been a good move. Surprised it was Squeenix that chickened though, if I had to pick just one between the two, it would be Deus Ex for sure. I'm not surprised, Square-Enix has been delaying games since they were Squaresoft.

Just end the prohibition already, it's such a waste of taxpayers money. In Ciudad de Juarez there has been 3000 murders this year so far due to the illegal drug trade. That's 300% more than all murders in Sweden one year.

R.I.P.

So we have a game Elder scrolls game that takes place in what one would describe as northern scandinavia. Mountains and spruce tress as far the eye can see, yay! (meh)

Exactly. It represents the game. Game over.

Looks wicked! But if thats the jul goat, who was was guy who lives in a mountain in the far north and ate people every day except for one night of the year? Watch the movie and you'll find out

Just saw my first christmas movie this year: My god what a movie. Everyone should see this. Especially the scandos here would appriciate the underlying humor of the everyday life of a bunch of reindeer herders in the middle of nowhere. Basically, this isn't your traditional "Saint Nicholaus"-santa movie. Noooo no. This movie is based on ancient nordic folklore, namely before christianity came to finland, "father christmas" was a huge horned giant who would come at the end of the year to feast on mortals. The inhabitants of the house would leave gifts in form of milk, bread and honey, in hopes that the Yule Goat(Joulupukki/Santa Claus) would feast on them till the morning and forget to eat the mortals that live in the house.

1-Less passion crimes, less criminals on the streets. 2-Justice, retribution, seeing someone who wronged you greatly pay the price. 3-Because the state handles all judicial matters so it's their responsibility to execute sentences. Thank you for your answer. Now, allow me to refute: 1. That's not a strong argument. The death penalty isn't detergent against violent crimes, passion crimes and or anything, so it will not lessen crime. We have prisons, correction facilities and rehabilitations programs for that. 2. The justice system is not and should not be about retribution. It is about being just. 3. I wasn't talking about the legal techicality of the state acting as an executioner. As was talking about the morality of it. Why the state should be allowed to kill you in order to proove that killing is wrong.

Would be awesome if it was though.

If realpolitik and backroom deals have come to an end, then diplomacy itself is pretty much over. The whole idea of having little enclaves of sovereign ground in the capitals of other nations-- the violation of which is considered by the community of nations as something greater than a simple act of war-- is still a very good and useful innovation. And it absolutely requires a great deal of privacy and confidentiality to function. Public disclosure of leaked communications between these enclaves and the mother country is an attack on one of the core principles of diplomacy in our civilization. I don't know about legal liability to any one state, but the ideology that puts unaccountable, unreviewable, and sometimes anonymous private parties in the position of deciding what secrets should be publicized is misguided and regrettable. (Of course, exceptions are justified for truly important disclosures. The world became a better place when the Pentagon Papers hit the street. But I add that the parties involved with leaking and publicizing those documents all went through extensive legal battles in dealing with the consequences of their actions. (The NYTimes won; the leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, turned himself in and faced trial, but the charges were tossed due to gross misconduct by the FBI.)) As to putting the genie back in the bottle, so to speak, the best solution is to better police the people who have access, and stop them from leaking stuff. That's a far more credible approach here than it was in the Napster analogy you pose. There's one slight problem here, how will you be able to tighten the ability to leak without creating a more close and less transparent society? (maybe that should be for another thread)

You guys are asking the wrong questions. Instead it should be - What does society benefit from the death penalty? - What makes it just? - Why should the state be lawfully obliged to kill you?
