Yes, but trick is that since you can't constantly be bugging Linus for all the answers, you have to know what his opinion is without asking him. That's the tough part.

There's always enough cotton candy to burn, but who's your supplier of happy thoughts. I've had to make do with broken dreams for the past couple of months. Sure, it burns less cleanly, but the prices are rock-bottom!
Septerra Core I think this game might have won an award, but I've always been under the impression that it was underrated. Apart from one random bug, my only complaint about this game is that it felt a little short (possibly heightened by the epic nature of the storyline). However, I think the game makes for a nice RPG. If you like good stories but don't like having to pick skill points, then this a game worth looking into.
Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines This game was one of the best games I have ever played. The story was gripping (the end seemed abrupt, but I sort made sense out of it). The amount of choice that the game offers to player is staggering. The dialogue and voice-acting was convincing, and at times very funny (Jack). The in-game music and soundtrack was very well done. I still remember events from the game - the haunted hotel with the exploding vases and crashing elevators still creeps me out, as does being chased by a nigh-invincible werewolf. I think the game suffered since it was rushed to make it into stores for Christmas. Hell, there are times I wish that the game was an MMORPG just because it would be so different.
Isn't this a bit too late. IE was sold with new computers shipping with Windows since 1995. And now (more than ever) Windows and IE have what appears to be a necessary/symbiotic relationship. I think in Windows 95 you could *probably* remove IE and have a functional operating system. I think that it is no longer the case.
What would be the solution/ruling? Force Microsoft to remove IE, or install every other browser by default. I'm just speculating here; please feel free to correct me or offer an alternate viewpoint.
the bill grants this new agency the right to seize any computer or network hardware used to "facilitate" a copyright crime and auction it off Well, I'm pretty sure some of these "copyright crimes" went through some ISPs expensive routers. Are those being seized since they were complicit in the crime by allowing criminal network traffic to pass through?
"even drug dealers can get classified information out of Los Alamos" Well, even overworked scientists need drugs! It's not as if science just pops out of thin air you know? You need to get high.. I mean think!
If the music industry of today goes the way of the dinosaur, it is inevitably their own fault. Rather than adapt and work with technology, they chose to fight it and eventually fought their own customers. Companies that had nothing to do with the music industry (Apple, Amazon, etc.) found an untapped and unexplored way to sell music to people at competitive price using the relative ease afforded by the Internet. The music industry now says that they don't make enough money because they find themselves to be the middleman instead of the people with the product.
You built a wall around yourself and ignored the real problem. Your own costs are too high, you rely more on the popularity of an artist/band rather than the true talent he/she/they possess, and you chose to ignore new technology in how it could bring you new opportunities. Think fast or die slow.
I'd say it wouldn't fly if it were not for a few things.
- The governing minority Conservative government is borderline popular. Apart from yet another scandal from the past, moves such as reductions in sales tax, recognizing the Quebecois as nation, and the image of being strong against crime and gangs are generally approved upon. There are issues like Canada's involvement in Afghanistan and climate change where the government's stance is questioned by the opposition parties and the public at large, but not too many. A while back, polls found that the Conservatives would win a majority in the election.
- Prime Minister Stephen Harper as stated numerous times that he wants closer ties with the US. However, he is a intelligent politician and knows when and how to please the crowd [citing the government's reversal on the issue of climate change that resulted in the sacking of a cabinet minister].
- The official opposition is in somewhat of a state of disarray. Initially, Stephane Dion, the leader of Liberal Party, was passed off as inept and lacking [difficulty in speaking English and unwillingness to publicly state the party's stance on some key issues]. He backed off in making demands and criticizing the government's upcoming policy in the Throne Speech (similar to a State of the Union address by a US President). Although Dion is improving rather quickly [he's making more decisive statements - the one's that get "ooh's and aah's from the rest of Parliament" ], he has yet to make significant gain in the polls.
- The other parties (New Democratic Party (NDP), and Bloc Quebecois) would probably vote against this bill.
- Canada's politics are by and large partisan. The Conservatives (all of them) would vote in favour (100%). The NDP would vote against (100%). The Bloc would most likely vote against (95%). The Liberals would be deciding the outcome. Right now, I'd say they'd vote against (this issue wouldn't spark an election), but if other issues crop up and there are calls for an election, the Liberals would probably prop up the current government until they get their own party ready for an election.
Not to troll, but why is this news? What is newsworthy about a company expanding into another country? You could say "Oh it's Siberia!", but Siberia is a place like any other.

Fear not! You've activated Warcraft II's God Mode.
cultists don't get payed
But they do get matching outfits and killer group discounts.
As God is my bloody witness, I'm hell-bent on making it work.
Something tells me that perhaps he doesn't genuinely, really believe that God is his witness... :)
Or he thinks he is John Constantine. Funny how my captcha was 'repents'.

No, we need to return to doing as we say and saying as we do ( whenever that was last the case ).

So we should tag this as feelgood
Won't anybody think of the photons!

The number of right turns a typical UPS van takes has gone up threefold.
Now, if only I could find where I put my keys.
I kid.

Herding a botnet must be sort of like herding sheep.
How much guts does it take to say "Prove it". Isn't it within Congress's power to ask for proof?
Is there a website where we can post these results? Broadband Reports comes to mind, but maybe the EFF has a place set up?
