GTA V Midnight Launch - Almost 2000 Stores To Open

Wouldn't this be more of a news story if the shops weren't opening at midnight?

I would really like to say tahkns very much for your work you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same effective job by you down the road also.

Wii InternetOnline gaming is a mreakt that no video game company wants to miss, and Nintendo is no exception. With that in mind, Nintendo not only designed the Wii to let players compete against each other online, but it also added an entirely different aspect of the Internet to its newest system-browsing. Once the Wii has been hooked up to the Internet, either wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable, you can purchase Wii Internet for $5. The full version of the Internet Channel, which is a version of the Opera 9 Web browser, was launched in April of 2007 and it allows Wii owners to surf the Web in a unique fashion. The font is much larger than it is on a computer, so it is a lot easier to see from the comfort of your couch. You can also zoom in and out and scroll up, down and sideways using the Wii remote. The Wii Internet Channel takes only a few seconds to launch, mostly because it stays connected to the Internet even when it is powered off. The software is saved on the 512 MB Wii internal flash memory. The software can also be transferred to an SD card after you download it, although temporary Internet files will remain on the internal memory. The Opera-based browser can support a host of Web 2.0 technologies and applications including:CSSJavaScriptAjaxRSSAdobe Flash 7WidgetsThe biggest gripe about the Wii Internet Channel is that the browser does not support Adobe Flash 8 or 9. According to Opera, the reason that the browser does not support the later versions of Flash is that a software development kit is not yet available for either version. Because Opera utilizes an older version of Flash, problems may arise while you are trying to view certain Flash videos. Aside from the problems on the user's side, Nintendo is also having a bit of trouble with the Wii Internet Channel. Apparently, hackers have found a loophole in the system that allows them to run their own code on the Wii console. The loophole is in the Flash Player embedded within the browser and could allow hackers to create video game emulators. That sounds like a great loophole, right? Not if you're Nintendo. One of their potential moneymakers is the Virtual Console, which charges gamers between $5 and $10 for unlimited access to a retro title. The Wii can use an Internet connection in more ways than just browsing. There are also free applications such as Wii's News and Forecast Channels. The News Channel provides you with a view of the globe, which allows you to view news by region if you wish. The Forecast Channel also gives you a view of the globe, but this view also shows current weather systems around the world. If you zoom out far enough, you can see an accurate star map in the background. Since you register your Wii's locations, it also knows what you're looking for in the way of a local forecast.Wii AccessoriesThe Nintendo Wii, like every other video game console, has some controller variations and other accessories available for serious gamers. Some of the accessories are very useful, while others merely add to the aesthetic value. Some examples of Wii accessories that fall into the looks good, but not very useful category are the plastic attachments for the Wii remote that make it look like a tennis racket, golf club or baseball bat. Nothing about the Wii or the game you're playing changes the attachments just transform your Wii remote into a prop. There are also boxing gloves that can house the Wii remote and Nunchuck. Just like the plastic attachments, these gloves don't change anything about the game, except for the fact that you don't actually have to hold onto the controllers. ***n00b weblink removed*** mtmptnug [link= ***n00b weblink removed***

預防過勞死 雷聲大雨點小【黃小陵】2011-06-17 中國時報為預防過勞死，立法院三讀通過《勞動基準法》修正案，提高違法企業罰鍰。雇主若讓勞工超時工作，罰鍰增為五倍，從現行最高六萬元提高到三十萬元，並得公布企業名稱或負責人姓名，並可按次連續處罰至改善為止。筆者認為，此次修法雷聲大、雨點小，對違法企業難生嚇阻作用。首先，罰錢對黑心企業來說一點都不怕，不要說提高五倍，就算提高一百倍也換不回過勞死受害者寶貴的生命，更挽救不了破碎的家庭，畢竟，老闆有的是錢。而公布違法企業名單部分，增列「得」公布企業名稱或負責人姓名，是賦予地方主管機關「可公布」、「也可不公布」的權責，在政商利益結構下，難保地方主管機關會隱匿企業黑名單，我們一再強調，一旦查到違法，就「應」立即公布黑名單，避免弱勢勞工繼續受害。其次，過勞受害者家屬一再強調要「廢除責任制」條款，在此次修法也沒處理。仍有許多被列舉在責任制或間歇性工作的勞工，例如保全員、航空服務員、開刀房的醫護人員等所謂「特殊行業」勞工暴露在長工時、高壓力的勞動條件下，沒有基本的身心健康保障。人不是機器，沒有一種職種的勞工可以被排除在正常工時之外，但目前因應責任制過勞的政策方向，卻是由各地方主管機關訂定工時上限，並任由權力不對等的勞資自行簽訂契約來處理，完全無法預防過勞死。預防過勞死的政策之一，應比照日本及韓國，將違法使勞工超時、或未依法給休假的雇主課以刑責。勞委會主委王如玄在三個月前，公開說不排除往課刑責的政策方向修法，但提出的修法草案只是象徵性地提高罰鍰。吳揆邀六大工商團體見面時，還請企業主放心，執政團隊護衛資本家的態度，沒有因為過勞死的疫情而改變。而綠營立委雖頻開記者會抨擊馬團隊，具體作為上，也沒敢往廢除《勞基法》第八十四條之一，及將違法雇主課以刑責的修法方向推進。從此次修法結果，顯見藍營或綠營，都選擇不得罪資本家。過勞死的問題不是近一兩年才發生，早在二○○二年開始即陸續爆發過勞死案件，從報業編輯、保險業主管、工地主任、公車司機…，到近年爆發的高科技產業工程師，勞動者長工時、高壓力、低工資的勞動處境，已在台灣產業型態變化下存在多年。而外包、派遣、彈性雇傭等變形勞動型態，從藍營、到綠營、再到藍營執政，一脈相傳，從未改變，這種以資本主義經濟發展為國家施政的主軸，正是勞動者過勞死的主要結構性原因。過勞死不只是健康議題，也不只是勞動議題，它當然是個非常政治的問題。作為公民的我們，該是自己拿回政治權力的時候了。（作者為工作傷害受害人協會秘書長）◆ 輸球暴亂 溫哥華逾百人受傷中央社 2011.06.17溫哥華冰上曲棍球加人隊（Canucks）昨晚敗給波士頓熊隊（Bruins），痛失2011年冠軍頭銜後引發民眾暴亂，至少150人受傷，財物損失高達數百萬加元。溫哥華才圓滿舉辦過2011冬季奧運，讓溫哥華在世界舞台上大大露臉，昨晚的暴亂，又讓溫哥華的良好形象蒙塵。由於這次群眾暴亂情況嚴重，溫哥華警方是否對控制群眾暴亂事前做好了準備，目前也是各方討論的焦點。溫哥華市警察局長朱小蓀今天表示，暴亂發生後，鎮暴警察在3小時內即將情況控制。較1994年同樣事件所用的時間短了一半。朱小蓀表示，昨晚在市區的民眾人數較1994年多出兩倍。朱小蓀表示，世界上有許多國家不但比加拿大極權，也會動用更多的警察，暴亂還是一樣發生。他說，在這次暴亂中，有19名警察受傷。他稱暴亂的民眾為罪犯、無政府主義者及社會渣滓。朱小蓀誓言，一定要捉拿暴亂者歸案。據警方稱，暴亂者大多是20多歲的年輕人。今天早晨，一些志工拿著塑膠袋到暴亂現場清理碎玻璃及殘餘物。1名志工表示，他看到現場凌亂的樣子，忍不住想哭出來，他不相信溫哥華人會做出這樣的事情。溫哥華市長羅伯森（Gregor Robertson）表示，暴亂發生後，很多市民都很同情政府。他們志願前來清理，希望儘快恢復市容。暴亂現場的倫敦藥房（London Drugs）遭暴徒破窗洗劫，估計損失達100萬加元。海灣百貨公司（The Bay）櫥窗也被暴徒打破，櫥窗內的高級皮包、化妝品等被洗劫一空。※ 之前不是有「加拿大黑幫之都」的報導？◆ 兩岸六國大起解 談判90天內幕公開2011-06-17【報導／楊肅民、戴志揚】我國治安史上最大行動，橫跨兩岸六國連手打擊電信詐欺犯罪，在今年六月九日上午10點同步展開。結果，創紀錄在不到二十小時內，在兩岸及印尼、柬埔寨、馬來西亞、泰國，共逮捕詐欺集團成員五百九十八人，且完成偵訊及包機押返兩岸。鮮為人知的是，這遍地開花、令人喝采的行動背後，是兩岸高階警官三個月來臉紅脖子粗，不斷穿梭、折衝 ，達成大家摒除主權爭議，共創打擊犯罪的雙贏果實。刑事警察局長林德華在接受本刊記者專訪時，不諱言指出，今年過年前發生的菲律賓遣返事件，是危機，也是轉機。今年三月七日，他銜命率員至大陸，與公安部刑偵局長白少康研商跨國打擊犯罪時，第一次過招就是菲律賓事件。林德華局長希望對方直接把話挑明，而白少康局長也直腸子說：大陸考慮是否要與台灣合作，就是擔心台灣對詐騙犯不能判重刑；另外，也擔心大陸民眾被騙的錢要不回來。經過三天的折衝，大陸方面直言，詐欺集團已使整個大陸除西藏外，全部淪陷，這種犯罪如芒刺在背；對台灣攤開的情資，也佩服不已。雙方達成本於相互尊重、平等、互惠、雙贏的原則，不受政治、疆域、主權爭議影響，執行跨國打擊犯罪，雙方並同意在第三地逮捕的己方涉案民眾，各自遣返偵審。掃蕩一六一據點這個重大突破，在三月十日達成共識，所以第一次的兩岸共同跨國打擊犯罪的行動，就以「０３１０」為專案名稱。林德華說：這只是開端，兩岸除了掃蕩詐騙集團外，其他如毒品、槍械走私、幫派等，將持續在世界各地合作展開打擊。〈更多精采內容，詳見1739期時報周刊〉 business insurance costs cash back credit card 1
