Quit being a jerk, get out of the way let that person behind you go past. then he can wreck where you are not.
If there is a jerk here, it is you. All the laws are very explicit about that the right of way belongs to the one in the front, and that everyone else behind ***MUST*** wait.
In other words, that slowpoke in front of you has no legal obligation whatsoever to let you ahead of him.
He also remembered seeing the ship starting its RADAR as it went past; and as the beam swept the computer room, all the systems crashed. The fix: a snotty email dictating that captains don't start their radar until they've cleared the harbor and made it out to sea.
The customer was also very lucky that he could order around warship captains with snotty emails...

Cyberattack in Ottawa
The Canadian government has been the target of a massive cyberattack in June and July 2007. In total, about twenty ministries have been hit, as documents obtained by La Presse thanks to the information access act.
Even though canadian authorities refuse to identify the authors of this attack, they hint at chinese cyber pirates. From june to september 2007, at about the same time, five countries -- the USA, Germany, the UK, France and New Zealand -- announced to have suffered the same kind of attacks from chinese cyberpirates. This cyber attack against the canadian government, which never had been revealed until today, was first detected at the Public Security ministry by the Canadian Cybernetic Indicent Response Center, an organism created in february 2005 and tasked to check the threats looming above cyber infrastructure deemed essential to Canada.
Upon noticing that several computers of the ministry headed by Stockwell Day* have been contaminated by this attack, a widespread investigation was conducted by the RCMP and the Canadian Intelligence Service and the ministry of
Defence. The investigation showed that the whole canadian government was targetted by this unprecedented attack.
"As the investigation progressed, it was possible to say that it was a large scale attack against the government of Canada. We have had confirmation from our U5 parners (USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand & Canada) that it was a global international threat", we can see in a note passed to Stockwell Day.
In November 2007, those responsible for the CCRIC gave to the concerned ministries, to provincial governments and to the heads of essential infrastructures a document summarizing this act of piracy and a strategy to counter this kind of attack, always according to the documents obtained by La Presse.
Who were those pirates and what did they want? What were the consequences of this cyberattack? Canadian authorities will not point at anyone responsible, but they take care to note in the documents that Canadian allies faced cyber attacks during the last few months and did not hesitate to accuse China. Last year, Germany and the UK accused China of leading cyber attacks against them.
"The US is careful when it comes to pinpoint the responsibility for those attacks. Canada does likewise. During the last few weeks, Canada, the US and the UK informed their respective governments and the leaders of the essential infrastructures of the cyber threats", can we read in the documents.
In the Public Security Ministry, they refuse however to give further details. "The canadian government is not shielded from those cyber attacks. We take those threats very seriously, but for security reasons, I cannot give details regarding a given attack or a current investigation", said Mélisa Leclerc, the spokeperson for Stockwell Day.
According to an investigation conducted by (french) Le Monde daily published last October, the attacks against occidental sites were mostly corrupt files. Investigators followed cyber addresses to China, always according to Le Monde. Several occidental intelligence service heavily suspect the Popular Liberation Army.
According to Michel Juneau-Katsuya, an ex intelligence agent and security expert, there is a very high probability that China is involved in those attacks. He recalled that, at the end of the 90's, CIA managed to get a copy on a chinese army manual that explained that the next war against the West would first happen in cyberspace in order to neutralize communication systems.
"The chinese have undersood that if they disrupt communication systems, they will blind the US and the West. For them, the first thing to do when you begin a military campaign, is to destroy the opponent's communication networks. We know that China spends a lot of ressources on this. It even has university departments working on it full-time", says Mr. Junea-Katsuya.
Since you're immigrating to Canada, they will pester you with "bilingualism". You're moving to Hongcouver where you'll notice that the other language spoken is Cantonese, but the official "bilingualism" involved is French/English.
You don't really need to bother with that, because the whole of Canada effectively speaks white, except in Québec where they shove their cheese-eating language down people's throats. However, since the federal government is pandering to those frog separatists, you will need to show some interest in learning french in order to improve your chances of being selected for immigration.
Well, have the NDP ever got something through? I dunno.
How about the universal "deny no one" health insurance system??? You can bet your arse it wasn't the tories (or even the libs) who were responsible for that...
Now here's a funny one for you from my country: You may own hunting rifles, you may have scopes and everything for it (pretty much giving you a top level sniper gun), with whatever calibre you like (want a.50 sniper gun? No problem) without a permit, you just have to claim you're a hunter, but getting the permit to carry a conceiled 9mm pistol is very near impossible.
So?
(Here's a funny one for you from my country: here, people are seldom killed by guns).
Problem: You're some security goon. You get paid like 4 bucks an hour. You are, of course, unarmed. You are facing someone with a pistol.
Question for 500: Do you ask him to surrender it? Or do you let them in, because either nothing happens and nobody gets hurt, or something happens and you lose your 4 bucks an hour job?
You just let him do his thing. Nothing in the world is worth your life. And you don't lose your job either, we have laws to protect workers against such blatant abuses, and also a much better minimum wage, to protect workers against abusive employers.
Criminalizing the use of drugs only hurts drug users more, yet it's done in the name of safety.
It's not done for "safety". It's being done in the name of some calvinist anglo-saxon puritan attitude to prevent undeserved pleasure. "Undeserved" meaning not controlled by someone else.
Anything pleasurable, be it sex, masturbation, alcohol or pleasure drugs that only depends on the enjoyer's will is bad, because it cannot be used in a carrot/stick situation.
This is why many societies rely on religion (no sex if you don't support a bitchy whiny wife that will pump out kids to perpetuate the tribe) or commerce (no money? You dont watch that movie/hear that song/enjoy yourself in the amusement park/drink that hooch) to provide pleasure.
God may have mercy on the poor soul who brews his own moonshine or grow his own weed. Because those people are dangerous individuals that cannot be controlled.
If they have the gun and you don't have one, all the more reason to just be cool about the situation. If you find someone with a gun in America and they are white middle-class, then there's a good chance that you could lose your job by hassling them about it. If you find someone with a gun in America and they are not white middle-class, then there's a good chance that you could lose your life by hassling them about it.
Excuse me, but I live in America, too, and here, if someone is caught with a gun, he goes straight to the jail, and he won't get out for a darn good while.
How about a plug-in module? A major portion of the cable box would be the box itself, the connectors, the buttons and the power-supply, as well as the assembly of all those.
A custom-made for each network plug-in card that conforms to a standard (user-interface menu & cable signal inputs, video & menu output) that plugs inside the television backpane could do the trick here. With a plug-in, every "competing" network could have all the "features" it wants without having to kow-towing to a deliberately debilitated, unupgradeable television standard.
So when I travel, do I have to carry proof of purchase for all the stuff on my iPod? How exactly do they plan to enforce this?
Exactly like they currently enforce the present requirement to be able to prove that you first left the country in possession of $WHATEVER_THEY_THINK_YOU_BOUGHT_ABROAD.
The general Norwegian reputation for social-democratic nanny-states rubs off on Finland so much that no one realizes that they are far from being social-democrats, but instead are hardline right-wingers; let's not forget that during World-War II, they were on the nazi side and they pretty much kicked soviet ass throughout the whole war.

Prepare to see "fair-use" to be vindicated, and AP running with it's tail between it's legs...

It should be filed under "famous last words" instead.
That is nothing compared to what happenned with Mac Basic. This is an early case of Bill Gates bullying another company with gross tactics.
