Blank discs can be easily acquired in the US and moved across the border into Canada. If this copyright tax applies to jumpdrives and portable harddrives then I could see a blackmarket for computer hardware developing in Canada.
Some shows like Boondocks use a lot of computer animation and look amazing but more often then not CGI just turns into a pricey mess, like the recent TMNT movie for example.
>Resident Evil
I'm really begining to think I'm the only person on the planet that liked that movie and that the rest of you have all turned into everything-by-Paul-Anderson-sucks zombies...
Ironic ain't it!
Why not just use PlayFair or some other DRM cracking tool? If you've paid for the tracks it's certainly not a moral wrong and it's no more contra to the DMCA then any other means of circumventing DRM. Of course it doesn't the nifty backups that your method does, but you can still burn everything to a DVD after you're done.

It was! Today's script kiddies can't tell grep for the GIMP but back in the day BBSs were filled with philes on hacking UNIX. Most those files are useless now because BSD and Linux developers have worked hard to improved security. (And so have Windows developers, XP is harder to hack then Win95) The point is that any product as complex as an OS will be full of security holes. Sure UNIX may be more secure but as soon as you get lazy and think your safe someone will prove you wrong.
Exchange on its own is insufficient to explain why Linux isn't more widely adopted. Only large businesses can afford it and most people don't even know what it is.

What about WINE? I won't argue with you about Mono but WINE is very practical. I doubt Linux would be near as popular as it is if it couldn't run any non-Linux binaries.
Which is also the reason we will be a portable.NET ten years from now if they continue to loose ground in the business world and are still a big player but no longer the dominate monopoly. Hey, we saw it happen to Big Blue, why not Redmond?

Differing from Soviet America how?

>a data download speed of 150 megabits per second
The article makes no mention of what kind of upstream speeds you'll get with this technology.
$300 million for Photobucket doesn't really apply to either of these models; it's a stupid move no matter how you look at it.
Now the New Corp bubble. Or maybe it's the Gootube bubble. Or the Yahoo/MSN bubble?
The point is web sites are not big trucks that you dump money on!

But please don't make it all CGI. Castlevania is a classic series and it needs a classic hand drawn look, like the original Vampire Hunter D had.
.they're just unpopular features!

Didn't we know this back in January?

No reason you can't. Personally I'd rather have a .ru then a .us domain name.
It also means more privacy for everyone else too.
