It does not matter what your party name is. If you have a sufficient sized following and your trying to get into power to improve your country why should you be treated any different than the rest of the political parties?
for optical drives. But they don't plan on changing the default autoplay anyway. So why make the change? Security? Come on. malicious software uses autorun because it is currently the easiest way to do this but it will take all of 10 nano seconds before a new way to do this is used.
Not to be a MS basher but all their talk about security is only lip service.
OK fine I do mean to be a MS basher.
The world has changed. This law is irrelevant to the current reality. You can censor the hell out of your citizens (like China) or you can allow them to participate in a free and open internet, not both. Unless every country on this planet agrees to this outdated law, enforcement will be almost impossible. The only thing they will do is turn their citizens into criminals.
Minnesota your only choice is to either disconnect from the internet or accept that you can not control it. Of course to truly disconnect you would have to ban all forms of communication except for snail mail and the pony express. No phones, satellite dishes, cable, etc...

In Edmonton for $93.00CA there is shaw's High-Speed Warp that gives you # Up to 25 Mbps download speed
# Up to 2 Mbps upload speed
# 150 GB/month data transfer (Thats a bit better than 20 GB but by no means unlimited.)
I just don't know what the hell "UP TO" means.
Yeah because there is a huge IT workforce in the Arctic and lots of others who want to move there from someplace like California.
Currently in Canada you get huge tax breaks if you live in the arctic and company's have to pay huge incentives to get people to work up there. Which usually includes working in rotations such as 3 weeks up there and 2 weeks paid off with free transportation south.
Exactly what I thought when I first read this. There is just to much seemingly made up stuff in the story. He died on the ides of March, his colleague is Robert E. Lee, and even his name seems made up for some reason. I went so far as to check out his facebook memorial and this still seems off to me.
Ascii art is even easier to crack than squiggly words what we need is to use penial Biometrics now that can't be faked or duplicated by a bot.

I can only guess they're referring to differently priced SSDs. Some cost in the thousands, but provide top-teir performance. Their price would be justified at approximately 1/3rd the current price, as that's what would be necessary to provide similar cost/performance to a raid array of rotational drives.
The interesting thing is, according to the performance table on page 6, the SSD they used only had write performance of ~350 IOPS. Either that number is missing a zero, or something is _seriously_ wrong with their SSD.
If it's the latter, then clearly any conclusions drawn from that write performance are completely invalid.
No 350 IOPS is pretty standard for SSD in real world conditions. The problem is manufacturers can claim speeds of 45,000 IOPS which while technically true, those speeds due not hold up in typical conditions. I don't fully understand the reasons but feel free to research my claims.
This kind of open and honest debate is what makes me proud to be Canadian. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada seems to 'get' the technology of DPI and why we should be concerned about it.
On a side note I'm not so proud of the dirty oil being produced here in Alberta. But, at least no one is being killed for our oil. - well except for migratory birds.
I just posted this in the last story (Happy 40th Birthday, Internet RFCs)
From the article"It probably helped that in those days we avoided patents and other restrictions; without any financial incentive to control the protocols, it was much easier to reach agreement." Exactly why patents don't work in their current form.

Still condolences to his family.

Now it seems more appropriate for this story.
