For those that don't know your revelation - MAC address are stripped by the first router they encounter. So, if the *iaa got a MAC address, they did so internal to the ISP's infrastructure. Therefore, they were illegally inside the ISP's network as there is no other way to obtain this address.
One thing the last government got right was campaign contributions. No corporation can donate more than $500 to an individual campaign, no person can donate more than $2500. Period. There are severe consequences otherwise.
In exchange, Parties are paid $1.50 per vote they receive, per year. It at least resembles a system intent on reducing corporate influence. What it ends up doing is giving corporate CEO positions to former members of Parlament, like the former Canadian Ambassador to the US and Premier of Ontairo, being on the board of the Carslyle Group.
But for the grandparent to say things like 'we shipped no oil' or in other places in this thread 'all the environmental damage happened since 2000' is inane. Syncrude shipped it's one billionth barrel of crude long before 2000. One billion barrels of crude is a lot of moved earth. If you look at the sat photos, all the strip mining south and west of the plant occurred before 2001.
And Leduc #1 went online in the 1950's. Are people to believe we just sat on all that oil for 50 years?
Sorry man, even in the 90's when I worked at Syncrude, they were pumping 100k barrels per day. So was Suncor. And that's not counting conventional Oil.
It's been my experience that people who are for the Right to Bear Arms also tend to be the same ones who decry Castro's right to remove a corrupt government. That conflict of morals always amuses me.
The government of France is still scared of it's population, the way a proper government should be. It's long been the right of citizens to remove corrupt governments and heads of state.

"Remember, Remember the 5th of November, Of Gunpowder, Treason and Plot . .."
"What world do you live in where plotting an assasination doesn't qualify a person as "crazy"?"
What are the reasons the assassination is being plotted? Voices in your head?
I live in a world where the CIA tried to kill Castro several times, simply because he took back his country from gangsters. Castro was doing what he thought right. So did the CIA.
Here in my country of Canada, we haven't had a Prime Minister assasinated, or even attempted. None have been worthy enough, before or since Trudeau. My Provincial Premier was even the kind of guy was even the kind who drove himself around town in his car. Unescorted. You could walk up to him on the street, and shake his hand or chew him out. But he was high enough in the approval ratings not to worry about his safety.
"Because when Heads of State violently die it tends to cause chaos, political/economic instability and/or wars."
Perhaps if the citizens want you dead, you are doing something wrong? As you and other posters point out - you can't stop the crazies, but you can stop the regular Joes by simply doing your job well enough not to anger anyone that much.
" I agree that it's a shame, but you have at least one Representative. Talk to them. They are your voice to the PM."
"After 30 years on the market you would think that 'Dark Side of the Moon' or the 'Led Zepplin' CDs had made their money and maybe could be reduced to the price of say, a CD produced in 2007?"
The article says they are reducing the price to $19.99. Which, if I recall is what I paid for some of those titles when I ""updated"" from vinyl to CD 20 years ago.
"Solar's big advantages are that it is essentially pollution free, doesn't up CO2, reduces petroleum requirements which means more lubricants, plastics and so on at reasonable prices, reduction of political leverage of oil rich countries, increase in ability to operate independently at every level from national to individual, and over the long term, it costs less."
Excellent points, but it's advantage is also it's disadvantage. Imagine trying to run a steel foundry on solar power. Now, imagine running a third world steel foundry on solar power. That's the gripe many developing nations have with Kyoto - how are they supposed to enter the 20th century if they can use coal fired power?
Specifically Rule #1 "1 Professional engineers, geologists and geophysicists shall, in their areas of practice, hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public and have regard for the environment."
And the law that governs Engineers etc in this province, the "Alberta Engineering, Geological and Geophysical Professions Act"
42 In this Part,
(a) "conduct" includes an act or omission;
(b) "investigated person" means a professional member,
licensee, permit holder, certificate holder or
member-in-training with respect to whose conduct an
investigation is held under this Part;
(c) "practice of the profession" means practice of
engineering, practice of geology or practice of geophysics,
as the case may be.
44(1) Any conduct of a professional member, licensee, permit
holder, certificate holder or member-in-training that in the opinion
of the Discipline Committee or the Appeal Board
(a) is detrimental to the best interests of the public,
(b) contravenes a code of ethics of the profession as
established under the regulations,
(c) harms or tends to harm the standing of the profession
generally,
(d) displays a lack of knowledge of or lack of skill or
judgment in the practice of the profession, or
(e) displays a lack of knowledge of or lack of skill or
judgment in the carrying out of any duty or obligation
undertaken in the practice of the profession,
whether or not that conduct is disgraceful or dishonourable,
constitutes either unskilled practice of the profession or
unprofessional conduct, whichever the Discipline Committee or the
Appeal Board finds.
This is studied as a required course in order to become a Professional Engineer. In exquisite detail we use the 'bridge' example. Reporting it to your superiors is not enough, if you know the bridge design is defective and can compromise public safety. It is not good enough to simply tell your bosses. By law in this province, you must go over his head, and their head, until you run out of bosses. If you know there has been a spill of highly radioactive substances - should you not call the EPA if you 'run it up the chain of command' and they do nothing?
Now, go back to my original reply. By act, or omission, this guy (according to the article) did not do everything in his power to make the public safer. He reported it to his superiors (who did nothing) and let it be, as far as I can tell. Silence is the same as representing the public is safe, when indeed it is not.
So, all this over the fact you can read what I write.
Second, your silence can only be applied as misleading if you had the ability to say something and did not.
So, what three letters are missing from the article? EPA. He has their number, or the ability to look them up. He had the ability to say something, and did not.
There was nothing wrong or what would be considered a lie in this guy based on anything he didn't say.
As I originally stated, a lie is an act, or omission. This guy, by all standards of professional conduct I know of - lied.
Now, as for such adjectives as you have used to describe me, like 'ignorant', 'liar', 'half-wit' (I'll correct that one for free); please print this thread out, fold till it's all sharp corners, and shove it up your tight little ass. *kisses!*
LOL. Nice troll attempt. As you so rightly point out, many here have the tools they need, and a part of geek training is Common Law and Tort Law.
Omitting the fact that a bridge is unsafe is against every professional organization out there, and it is a lie no matter the secrecy agreement or NDA you signed. Not saying anything at all about a very toxic spill is a lie by omission and malicious.
And learn the difference between, "your", "you're" and "y'arrh".
"If I read your argument correctly, he can only tell me what happened and maybe why, but never what will happen."
Not quite. As others point out - predictions can be made in the short term as to trends, but over longer periods of time the predictions of the Meteorologist become less accurate because not everything about the system can be known. The Climatologist is also a slave to the inaccuracy of his model as well, but his generalizations can be more accurate over the long term because he isn't concerned with minute details.
"But show me valid, repeatable proof that it is changing because of something humans are doing."
I didn't say which side of the fence I'm on as to the cause of climate change. I am more on the 'sun is too hot' side of things, but I do believe we should clean up our act just from the pollution perspective alone. The 'cost' of spreading pollutants is far too high, and it's not 'free' - it will cost future generations. We are simply deferring those costs till later, when we are long gone.
"So far I have seen a lot of conjecture and chicken little predictions that have not come true. Until then, forgive me if I feel a bit skeptical about how we're "killing the planet".
So, you'd rather wait till the planet is dead, then say 'Oops, I was wrong'?
"Every night on the news I see that it was a "hot one" but the record always dates from the 1920's, 30's and 40's."
In my area of the planet, we've had the hottest Januarys and Julys on record - ever. And each year breaks records set in the last 5 years for mean temperature during those months. For example, this past January, the past mean temperature for the month was just under freezing (0C) for years before 2000. Since then, it's risen to +4C for the month, 2001 to present. July was a hot one too. The mean temperature was 19C before 2000, this year it was 22C. It is unusual around here to have an overnight low above 20C, but we went a whole week where the overnight temps didn't fall below that.
There are still some record daily highs dating back to the 1800's, but those are dwindling. Last year we recorded the hottest temperature ever recorded (39C) since records have been kept. We've also had an ongoing drought since 2001 - precipitation is far below average and the lakes and rivers and glaciers that feed them show it. 40% of the glaciers that feed our water table in spring and summer have dissappeared, and 80% are in danger of disappearing in the next 10 years.
I laugh at climate change deniers, as the signs are obvious - but I also don't beleve human industry is 100% responsible.
"once they start getting the local weather 2 days out correct on a consistant basis THEN I will start to believe their long term forcasts"
Don't know the difference between a Climatologist, and a Meteorologist, do you?
Here, let me give you a bad analogy;
Fill a bathtub with hot water. As the tub fills, throw in a few grains of rice. Now, it's the Meterologist's job to predict where the rice will be in an hour, tomorrow and 4 days from now. It's the Climatologists job to predict the temperature of the water in a year, and 5 years, and 10 years.
I just love it when people want the Climatologist to determine the position of the rice before it's put in the tub. And denounce global warming because he can't.
