France Seeks To Push 3-Strikes Law Across Europe

quanticle writes "As you may recall, France previously threatened to cut off broadband access for file sharers. However, after lobbying by the public, the legislation failed in the National Assembly. Now, the government of Nicolas Sarkozy is trying to revive the the measure by pushing it as an amendment to the pan-European Telecoms Package. This amendment has the potential to impose 3-strikes across Europe, not just in France."

In America, the technically correct and longer name for French Fries is potassium delivery system. Of course, to be effective they must be first heated and saturated with animal fats. Despite the glorious skill used to hone the techniques for loading potassium into the potato strips, 'fries' is all the effort we put in when order... with a 'supersizem' at the end.

I do find that there seems to be a lot of job searching advice that mentions the delicacy, far to often I might add.

Think of how stupid the average person is; well, half of the public are stupider than that.

Yeah. Some of them don't even know the difference between median and average :).
