It seems to me that the Web, Mail and IPv4 parts of the internet are broken.
For the time being, why not ressurect gopher, archie and implement a new IPv6 and a new trusted mail system (or even UUCP *icky!*), and just not tell anyone about it?
We're the geeks who run the mail servers. Who is to know if their MTA is changed, so long as users get their mail, they won't notice.
I thought the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T act made everyone in the US a suspected terrorist. That should read "300,000,000+ suspected terrorists".
Did you read that article on politechbot.com that they wouldn't let some guy wearing a little button that read "Suspected terrorist" fly on an airplane?
Yarrr, would you be the Dread Pirate Roberts of whom I've heard so much about?
Me and me crew are wishin ta throw in with you. There's much plunder to be had on the North Saskatchewan this time o the year! I've a fast Marauder and a fine crew!
If you got together with a few of your neighbors and each of you bought different CDs and then lent them to each other,
It doesn't say anything about copying. You must have assumed that your friends were going to copy the CDs right after. That would be a violation in the US.
Just lending the CDs is fair use. . . like letting other people read your copy of the paper after you're done.
I suppose if you e-mailed the ripped tracks, with a promise to delete them after your friend heard them, it might be a greyer area of the law, but sharing them with the world is indeed a violation in the US.
Sometimes our elected officials act like school children. "I'm telling MOMMYYYYY"!!! I'm glad they aren't representative of those of us here on slash. . . oh . ..wait.
CNN has repeated several times a special about Police Crown Vics that catch fire after re-end accidents..
Just more FUD. Considering Crown Vics are over 80% of the vehicles in Law Enforcement, and considering the number of vehichles that could survive an 80MPH rear end crash (M1A2 tank comes to mind). Police do a dangerous job. People should just slow the fuck down
What about that whole gas tank exploding when hit from the side issue?
There is no such issue. The issue is when the car (Crown Victoria or other Panther platform vehicles) get rear ended, or rear ended from an oblique angle or off center position, since the gas tank is in the rear, it can spill fuel and catch fire.
This really isn't an issue ethier, as it will withstand a 70 mph direct rear end impact from a 5000lb vehicle and not spill any fuel. Fires ocurr when the speed of the vehicle are over 80 MPH.
True, in that sense, it is a priviledge that can be revoked.
Just for reference, cops here in Alberta, as in most of Canada, cannot stop a vehicle without probable cause. I've actually been pulled over for speeding, and cops have requested that I open my trunk. I politely refuse. Of course, they get a little testy and demand that I open the trunk.
This is where I stand on my rights. I confirm that they pulled me over for speeding, and politely ask - "Are you going to find more evidence of speeding in my trunk?". You have to know your rights - and stand up for them if you are to protect them.
what could this man do that the CITIZEN could not?
Be a Citizen of India.
Harsh reality, when you outsource jobs, skillsets go with them. I'm sure the reverse is true, that the replacement he trained couldn't become a Citizen of the US.
I had an impression that "Driving on the public highways" is not a "Right"
I disagree. That is one thing I expect my government to provide for me. I don't expect them to provide me with a car, but I do expect them to provide me with a safe place to drive it.
Before you say. . . well, there's always the bus *bzzzt*. I live in an area with no mass transit, and I have to drive 30km to the nearest bus. I work only 25 km from work.

Set us up the Bong..
The GRU was the Internal arm of the KGB, Russian secret police. A reference to Buchannan's lame 'Soviet Canuckistan' comments.
Like "I welcome our new Canuck Overlords"...
Give it up, please.

Sod's his first name. 'Off' is his last.
I've heard of him :)
Aye, 'tis a fine shanty for the likes of a day such as this!
Set the mainbrace, unfurl the Boatsprit and make fast! Up anchor! There's plunder to be had!

10 years ain't old enough, 20 years is about right. 6 years old is paint remover.
What a line of bullshit this is. Air Canada is in banruptcy. I imagine cuts to IT are pretty deep.
You ever try patching 5,000 workstations? You ever try patching a workstation where the user never *ever* logs off except for power failures?
Don't give us this '3 weeks to patch it' BS, until you've been in the real world.
And don't reply unless you log in...

Alas, as soon as you charge money, you are a pirate. The legislation specifies - "for non commercial use"..

Let's see anyone in a Honda survive that impact.

It does work both ways...

I wondered what all the buzz was about. Neet!
My vote is for the Law of Gravity. No! Wait...Conservation of Energy... mmmmmmm perpetual motion...No Wait! Inertia! Yea!
I haven't played that in years...
