Canada To Mandate ISP Deep Packet Inspection

An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government has proposed new legislation that would require ISPs to install deep-packet inspection capabilities. The proposal includes a laundry list of surveillance requirements, police review of ISP employees and technologies, and the mandated disclosure of a broad range of subscriber information without any court oversight."

    Well, I'm at work on IE6, and there was no FA. I got to the linked page, which had nothing on it but links.

    TFA failed, that's for sure.

    Which is why I won't be flying via the US anymore. If I really need to fly, I'll take a quick train ride up to BC and fly from there. I'm sure I'll be flagged as suspicious, but at least that way I won't be groped by some perv TSA agent.

    And yes, anybody that forces you to show you themselves naked or allow you to grope them is a pervert, medical doctors excepted. The TSA agents don't have to do it, they could very easily refuse on the basis of it being illegal and/or sue the TSA for sexual harassment.

    >>>at work on IE6, and there was no FA

    Ditto. So I installed SeaMonkey 4. Not only does it render the frakkin' article perfectly, but it loads about five times faster. I can't believe our employers are still forcing us to IE6. They should at least upgrade to IE7 (like my last employer did).

    Alas, installing seamonkey or anything else is grounds for discipline here, and I don't want to do anything to screw with my upcoming pension.

    And whoever modded us both offtopic should be disciplined as well -- warning someone that TFA won't render is informative.

    I guess someone hasn't heard of Firefox Portable

    Noting that the article doesn't render in something that can't even be classified as a web browser by any modern standard isn't informative, its redundant.
