This is incorrect. The FBI only has investigative jurisdiction over federal crimes, thus differentiating them from local police departments. The RCMP and the Calgary police department enforce the exact same set of laws - Criminal Code of Canada, and they have identical investigative jurisdictions. While the RCMP is a national police force, it is not the equivalent of the FBI.
Simply put, RCMP hands out parking tickets but the FBI does not.
It depends where you are in Canada. Some Provinces don't have their own Police and the RCMP does that role. Ontario for a counter example has the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) and the RCMP are purely Federal here. Even the OPP is restricted in cities with their own police departments. In Ontario the RCMP won't be handing out parking tickets, in Cities with their own police neither will the OPP. Other provinces differ.
So in short it depends on the Province and City on whether the RCMP has local policing roles or not.
Sure it does. Atheists stake their eternal future on the presumption that God does not exist. They live their whole lives doing what they want, and rejecting the concept that there could be anyone or anything greater than themselves. If they are wrong, and there turns out to be a judgement day they will spend eternity burning in hell. That takes a great deal of faith (or ignorance take your pick).
Theists gamble their eternity on the presumption that they picked the right religion.
I believe that if there is in deed a God worth worshipping that he/she/it will judge people on more than their faith but on their actions. A just God would not condemn people for eternity if they were good people.
(people not doing auto- or frequent updates, for some reason or other).
Among the reasons for not doing auto updates are patches from Microsoft hosing your system.
A couple of personal examples:
An update to IE made it impossible for ANY program to access the internet with that computer. Why an IE update was able to block other programs was never clear but shows why the integration of programs for marketing reasons is a bad idea.
Another one "updated" a driver for the motherboard to an older version that predated that motherboard and BSOD'd the machine.
Carbon dating the same artifact can return results that vary by 100,000's of years.
You need to check the accuracy of the source you use for your claims as carbon dating is not capable of measuring ages in the 100,000's of years. The limit is in the vicinity of 60,000 years.
Abrams is free to write his own Roddenberry-esque universe that includes different physical laws, different events, different characters, and of course lots of lens flare.
What annoys a lot of fans is that Abrams did not do as you said. Instead of creating his own he like Berman and Braga before him messed with Roddenberry's work.
Others did truly create their own and shows like Babylon 5, Firefly and Stargate were born. They do things their own way and Trek fans can still appreciate them because they are not screwing up what Roddenberry did.
I took two variants of that test and ended with two different results INTJ and ESFP. If seems I am right on the edge in all four categories and just slightly different questions gives the opposite results.
You create your first variable to increment something, is it odd to use the first letter of the word increment? You then create another variable to do the same thing, would it be odd that your NEXT variable would use the NEXT letter in the alphabet and so on?
The Linux Foundation's largest financier is IBM. Therefore, it's obvious that they'll dismiss complaints over IBM's anticompetitive behavior and its overall hypocrisy.
That is an assumption. They could very well agree with IBM merely because IBM in their view is right.
You don't know that the Linux Foundation wouldn't oppose IBM if they felt IBM was wrong and lose IBM's backing willingly in that case. Organizations have done such things in the past.
You merely assume that they are opposing you for monetary reasons but provide no proof
Concerning Groklaw, I don't want to make claims as to who funds it (although a lot of people have previously - not in this discussion here but elsewhere - voiced theories that might make sense), but there's no doubt that it's been slavishly loyal to IBM all along.
Again no evidence merely assumptions and innuendo.
Your assumption that anyone who backs your opponents must be paid by those opponents and therefore unwilling to oppose them says much about your thought modes. Don't you ever go against your financial interests and stand on principal? If you do why do you assume that others do not merely because they are on the other side of the issue? Can you not conceive of the idea that others might sincerely oppose you based on their principals and understanding of the situation and the possibility that they might in fact be right and you wrong?
I agree. Atheists like Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler were well-known for their humanitarian initiatives and clearly weren't responsible for the largest amount of human slaughtering in a millenia.
Stalin before coming a revolutionary trained to be an Orthodox priest. Doesn't sound like an atheist to me.
See, hacking government computers is illegal everywhere, recognized by a crime by two allies who have an extradition treaty with each other.
Odd thing about that treaty, when the U.S. used it in this case to get extradition ordered the U.S. hadn't ratified it yet. The U.K. had but not the U.S..
EEE netbooks used to ship with a Linux distro. You know what killed that? Returns. Joe User booting it up, braying "The hell? Where's my Windows?" and returning it. It got so that retail salesweasels were begging people not to buy them, because they got dinged for all the returns.
At the time this rumour started it was checked with ASUS who said that the rate of returns of Linux and Windows netbooks were the same.
The whole nonsense started with a different netbook provider who delivered a Linux netbook with the WiFi and camera not working and then published the 4 to 1 return rate. This was then widely touted as being netbooks in general rather than just one minor league player who "fucked up" their Linux netbook.
So please stop spreading this Microsoft propaganda.
The GPL is only a freedom license when compared to closed-source license. Compared to other, freer licenses, it's really concerned about creating a commons than it is about freedom.
It allows more freedom than copyright law itself does that makes it a "Freedom License".
The typical "UnFree" License tries to extend copyright law to remove freedoms from the user of the software that the law itself would otherwise allow.
their mysterious claims of Linux patent infringement for which they've refused to name a single example but keep claiming that such a list exists, etc.
The whole "I have a LIST" scam worked so well for Senator McCarthy why shouldn't Microsoft think it will work for them too?
I'm starting to wish I had installed XP instead of Linux on this laptop, because it's idiot-friendly and my brother knows Windows.
I've seen this so many times and it was untrue the first time and it is untrue now. Windows is NOT idiot friendly or user friendly. Windows merely has the advantage of being familiar to the idiots. An "idiot" who was started on Linux instead would find Windows just as unfriendly as the "idiots" who started on Windows find Linux.
It will then be up to the user to aquire the required codecs and what not, which can't legally be distributed in North America as entirely free software,
Can't legally be distributed in the United States. Canada does not have software patents so it can be distributed here. I don't know about Mexico.
Uh, that would be about 1.5 days—there are 86,400 seconds in a day. That's assuming that they maintain their maximum flight speed the whole time, of course.
I believe you made a typo. That should be closer to 7.5 days. Assuming maximum speed and no diversions from the direct path.

It was a count down. Now the aliens will attack.
More than one book and/or movie with such a subject. 2001 a Space Odyssey,Saturn 3 and so forth.
Just like the typical Windows experience is the BSOD?
I know I shouldn't reply to a troll but sometimes I do anyhow. Sorry guys.

illegally taking = theft
illegally copying != theft
piracy = capturing and looting ships on the high seas (without the backing of a nation, then it is war)
illegally copying != piracy
Rather like "You're either with us or against us" and "Why do you hate America?" when you opposed Bush (II). No real change.
