Can you enforce copyright over an entire town? The BBC News reports that the Alpine village of Hallstatt, Austria — a major tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage Site — has been replicated in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, down to the clock towers and the steep, pointed roofs atop wooden houses. “The population is amused that such a little place of the region Salzkammergut is important enough to get a copy,” Hallstatt mayor Alexander Scheutz said in the clip. (You can view it here.) The project cost $940 million, according to China Daily, and was conceived by a local “mining tycoon.” To be fair, the project was conceived as a tourist attraction, not a living village. And industry tycoons in developing nations have a long, storied history of imitating the Old Country, for personal or financial means. But never on this scale. It’s certainly not a bit of news that will help China deflect a reputation that it can’t innovate on its own, and it raises all sorts of questions about intellectual property and urbanization. (What if China, flush with cash, were indeed to copy one of the world’s cities? How would it respond?) On the other hand, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — especially when those cultural ties are with an increasingly powerful global economic force. Photo: The real deal.

I think the list gets' updated everytime someone new is banned. Admin probably goes back and just edits the original list. If she posted here today, that probably means she was banned today. That's just my guess. -

A Farax Winner featured on AMW website for shooting a Mexican Cops in Windsor, Ontario, Canada say that in the early morning hours of December 22, 2007, a party at the Box Office -- an after-hours bar in their city -- got a little raucous. They say two of the patrons, likely drunk, spilled outside of the club into a back alley. The two men were, according to investigators, initially just playfully jawing. But before long, cops say a fist fight broke out between the two and a few onlookers. Cops say that 20-year-old Luis Acosta-Escobar was also outside and he stepped in to break up the fight. As he separated the participants, cops say Mohamud Abukar Hagi rounded the corner with a handgun and fired into the group. Detectives say that Hagi's bullet hit Luis in his chest. Witnesses told cops that Luis turned and tried to get back inside the club, but as he did, Hagi fired again, striking Luis in the back. Mohamud Abukar Hagi, 26.

I had rental Sonata for few weeks while my car was at the shop, and wasn't really impressed with it. It was late model too (2010) that was really hard to drive (hard steering, you feel every bump on the road). I couldn't wait to return it. LoL at least it's not as bad as some of the Chinese built cars that are flooding most parts of the world. I've seen some nasty crashes involving Chinese made cars.

Hyundai is like a cheap knockoff of Honda. They could've came out with a better name.Their new cars look kinda nice though, i'll give them that. But i still wouldn't buy them. I'll stick Toyota (Camry:)).
