"When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere." -Robert Heinlein
Sir, if I could Mod you up any higher I would, instead I would like to offer to help smuggle you out of the US, on my "sub-earth rail conveyance" where you can live in actual freedom.
weve had these up here for a few years now and I'll let you in on what we did about bars that got these.
we dont go in. ever again.
we close any bar that has an ID scanner. after a few got closed down because of these they started getting the hint and a few places removed them. You dont find them anymore in the good Clubs in toronto.
I think that a copyright should by tied to a person, not an estate or company. If the person dies then his copyright goes with him. That way we can dl dead rockers with impunity.
I just have one question...WHY?
why are these batteries bad and nickel-cadmium not? I mean it would be cool if they told us of the danger but big brother needs to let us know why something is bad.
a lot of desert reptiles absorb vitamin D from sun in their native environment, their bodies have evolved that way, when their body reacts to the vitamin D coming in they also move to absorb the heat to start their metabolic processes. Without that trigger they hibernate and die.
All reptile heat lights are incandesiant, there the only bulbs that produce the right kinds of heat and light for alot of exotic pets (like my bearded dragon) I hope your law makers made an exception.
"wont someone please think of the lizards!"
The CRIA couldnt have shut them down here, I work for one of the few ISP's that could have handled their traffic, and the rules here state that if another company (read *IAA) wants to shut someone down/off the proper responce is to ask them for the MAC address, if they provide it then we shut *IAA off for illigaly obtaining information from our network, if they dont we say get it and call us back....
The big ISP's in Canada LOVE torrent sites, Trackers bring in ALOT of cash to the ISP's that shelter them.
Finally the world knows the truth, that Canada is the tortuga if the internet!
So come americans, come up here and buy your drugs at discounted prices, get your gay relitives married, use our web cafes to dowload warez, its the one stop shopping trip for all that your goverment and the corps that control it wont let you do!
I like that Canada is the Tortuga of the internet, I dont even mind paying the pirate king (read goverment) to keep the *IAA off me while I'm here. Canada I think handled IP laws the right way, I wish people would join the canadian bandwagon.
Currently I work in a place that makes office space look like a relaxing day. I hate this place, the IT staff is treated like part timers in a retail chain, they can't keep anyone for longer then 18 months.
I would work anywhere where the management is nice, relaxed, and relaizes that the best way to get techies to work is to keep them happy, I know many techs that are willing to go above and byond the call for some nicness in the workplace. They could pay me half of what I'm worth if they geve me benifits, let me wear jeans and a t-shirt, and gave me a break room that I could watch my movies on my personal laptop without being yelled at.
The long and short of it is they treated techs like crap for a while, they all got jobs doing anything else and now there are no good techs left which is creating the brain shortage. I'm looking forward to companies bidding for my services again.
Think of the applications for drowning victims too. Especially here in Canada where in the winter you're not dead till you're warm and dead. Now there's a chance that if they flood you with this stuff and get you to a local hospital there's a good chance of no/less brain or heart damage.
If I'm going to buy vista, these are the things that would have to be there before I would consider it.
1. Backwords compatability back to MS-DOS
2. NO DRM
3. No nagging in the OS (I get enough from my wife thanks)
4. Virtually universal hardware support
5. No digital sig requirements, if I want to use non windows approved software that should be my choice, I wouldnt even mind if it warned me once, so long as the waring doesent violate request #3
6. If I buy a game for vista to play online, I'm not paying for online play
7. give me direct access to ALL user settings on accounts.
Do that, and I'm in.
I wonder how long I till I can get an unlocked one on ebay? I mean, contracts are one thing, but someone who is an employee and bought a box to sell on ebay is another.
where was the "in soviet russia" joke? I mean I would have thought something like "thanks to the soviet era mind control beams space station controls you" kinda thing...
Well if thats the way law are made in canada now, why arnt we playing their game? Why are people getting together en mass and demanding the laws we want? Why arnt we forcing them to follow what we want, why arnt we taking collections for multi million dollar bribes to politicians to get what we want. Why dont we get like 200 of us to be lobiests, get 5 million or so in bribes ready and then get them to create a national P2P network completly free of any copyrights or Intelectual properly regulation get them to create a pirate haven. If thats how its got to be done and they dont care...then lets abuse the system.
Back in the real worl a while ago, a group of people coloinized a newly discovered land, they lived in it for a while, just trying to survive and paying little attention to the taxes they were paying the king. Then when things get comfortable they decide that the taxes are unfair and they want to rule themselves. And with some persuasion they got a goverment elected by the people for the people. They without to much in the way of investiveness or whimsy called it the united states of america.
wow, history really does like to come and bite people in the rump.
Slashdot Mirror
wait, I didnt think plants would eat lawyers...heh, guess everything has its place on the food chain, huh?
they should look for, the sent of impending doom!
I think I speak for all of slashdot when I say, "from your lips (or keystrokes) to the gods ears (assuming they exists and they have ears)"

When IT staffers fight, its the virtual servers that suffer... wont someone think about the virtual servers....
