I would assume that there were some measure of having a judiciary 'link' to where the US could provide its proof to the Canadian courts and have them decide the matter with their own system using the information the findings of the US courts provided.
Well, I'm glad that if Mellott is actually correct, I'll be long dead before this actually occurs, kind of like my fervent hopes for the destruction of Earth at the hands of a gigantic meteor. Although, this poses a question. Would you LIKE to be around to see Armageddon, or not? I'm pretty sure you can classify this scenario as Armageddon if it essentially wipes out a huge amount of life on Earth.
That's like saying 'if politicians would actually tell the truth.'
But in all honesty, you're absolutely correct. That's a pretty big 'if', and we can't expect it to change anytime soon, if ever. Since parents can't instill responsibility into their children, on whose shoulders does that task lie?
Doesn't lie in the people, really. The government is hell-bent on keeping its iron grip on the people. Think about this for a minute, if more people knew about proxies, wouldn't they be using them? I almost never see any Chinese online anywhere, so I assume that the vast majority, obviously, don't know about them. This is a fear factor. If you lived over there, wouldn't you be scared to death that you were found out finding a way out of China's protective bubble?
I might be over-reacting here with such an irrelevant, out of the blue statement, but look at Burma/Myanmar. The government there clearly knew about the incoming threat, and neglected to warn the people there. How do they expect to let the people figure out for themselves that a storm is approaching? By the same token, how do we expect anyone except for the elite few Chinese to even be aware that there is a world out there on the internet waiting to be discovered outside of the protective bubble?
Point being, if you control the one thing people nowadays depend on, that being the media, there is nothing you can't do to them. We already know this about China, but again, consider the fact that with little to no education for the majority of Chinese, how in the world would anyone but a handful even know the existence of such workarounds?
Although, it makes perfect sense now. I was trying to send a youtube link to a friend of mine and was wondering why it wouldn't go through.
Suspiciously, it instantly said the message couldn't be delivered, which were the exact same symptoms of my googlepages links also being blocked. TinyURLing the links worked.
Microsoft is blocking Googlepages, Youtube and others. What else is blocked that we don't know about? This almost makes me want to move to a third party client so I'm not being forced to abide by their restrictions.
I fine both Limewire and eMule to be far better than KaZaa, which I'm actually kind of amazed people are still using.
Then again, people use internet forums for help in their personal lives.
It doesn't take just a crappy Hollywood writer to fuck up a movie. Anything (or anyone) involved can twist the quality around, from directors, to actors, to writers, to budgets!
I don't think that we should blame exclusively the writer when the movie turns out to be a stinkbomb. I'm not saying it will be, but you know, it's better to lower your expectations and be surprised in the future.
Shouldn't we solve our own little worldly conflicts before we go ahead and conquer other planets/moons/asteroids and claim them in the name of [insert country here] so we can have full-blown interplanetary wars?!

Never tell me the odds!

When in twenty to thirty years, the study will repeat, with a comparison between whatever is coming in the future, and an iPod!

...Youtube links work again! Good work, Slashdot, protecting the rights of Internets users everywhere using the power of publicity or something!

Sam, move over. Here comes Neanderthal. We'll call him 'Nean' for short!

Is it supposed to make us feel inferior due to the size, or superior due to the function?
But don't worry, we're working on new technology as we speak! Forget the users of our graphics cards, physics is the future! SCIENCE!
