Newsreader: From today, dialling 999 won't get you the emergency services. And that's not the only thing that's changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they're not just "the" emergency services - they're "your" emergency services. So, remember the new number:
Unfortunately one of the chemicals has a ph of 17 and is stored at 2500 psi. When the tank developed a leak everyone had to don gas masks, move the cockpit and then make an emergency landing before it ate the plane. A full hazmat crew run by the company had to be flown in from Albuquerque to run decontamination.
Seems to me that if they miss with the laser they could just dump the plane into the nearest village -- 2 weapons for the price of 1.
So what about from the viewpoint of someone travelling into the United States from out of the country? Can we expect the right to privacy or would we be beholden to the same ritual? As a Canadian, who often travels into the U.S, can I expect that my laptop could, essentially, be seized because the powers that be just want to take it? Can I demand a warrant for the seizure of my laptop? I wonder if they would lock me up for demanding a warrant then lose the key sort of thing.
The U.S is fast becoming a police state -- kind of scary the lack of freedom within the Constitution and its amendments.
I've installed a keylogger onto your computer to capture your login credentials for the Yahoo Centmail site -- I have now solicited over half of Nigeria and most of Scotland for monies on behalf of your cousins uncles nephews best friends room mate from college who is lying sick in a hospital bed in Sweden and needs a foreign bank account to deposit large amounts of monies into before he passes away
McKinnon stands accused of hacking into US systems 97 times, causing millions of dollars worth of damage. McKinnon claims he was merely looking for evidence of aliens - though he doesn't deny the hacking charges. If convicted he could face 70 years in jail.
If the Aspergers defense doesn't work he could always try for insanity in the U.S!
Very interesting you mention that.... it was common practice for people using a BBS or 2 where I live to "ANSI BOMB" the bbs -- they would put the modem hangup chars into specially crafted ANSI messages. I was nice because the NFO for the file you were downloading looked pretty until your 9600 Baud modem hung up on you before you could download your ARJ files!!:P
I used to wait anxiously each year for the demoscene to release it's winners and top demos. I would hit the ftp.cdrom.com archives (where they tended to dump everything in the day) and download all the demos on my 9600 baud modem.
The 4k demos and the much larger DEMOS were amazing -- it was cool to see what people could do with a bit of assembly language or C
There was a small clique of us (in jr high) that would get together and try run them on the latest 486 setups and be in awe of the likes of Future Crew (Props Skaven and Purple Motion).//end reminiscing
Shape my traffic - seriously - I HAVE NO BANDWIDTH ANYWAY - in Canada I've given up an arm, a leg, my right eye, and a kidney for 15Mbit -- most of the time this is reliable and I can get UP TO that speed and when I am getting that speed it is usually trying to download something from Netflix or update my Linux Iso's.
I am sick and tired of Canadian ISP's providing crap for bandwidth - overcharging for this bandwidth - then complaining when I use it.
From what I've read in previous comments it's that this survey is more alarmist than anything. "hey you know your neighbor is downloading movies off of the internet, which makes your internet slower. how would you feel if we made his internet slower so you can get your mail faster".
here is some information from Canadian providers -- none of them specifically state what information they will or will not provide when requested or what is specifically logged.
Most pages include contact information for a privacy rep. I suggest you contact that person(s) and see what information you can opt out of having tracked.
I have excluded TELUS because they are wh0r3ish and don't listen anyway.

Interestingly enough I've worked on systems that have software interface that claims to be APACHE while serving up IIS pages --- I hardly trust info being served up about web servers -- http://www.evolt.org/node/60160
say they can trick a pair of cobalt atoms into thinking they are in a hexagonal close packing structure by bonding them to a hexagonal carbon ring such as graphene or benzene.
...
the cobalt has to be arranged in a hexagonal close packing structure to ensure the stability of its magnetic field. Otherwise the field can spontaneously reverse and the data is lost.
So one day the atoms might just realize that they've been tricked and you'll end up with your computer on fire because your benzene chains have all broken and you end up with
2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene

Silly goose!! Ozzy is too busy bashing skulls and casting AOE on WoW to be talking on MSN..... or don't you watch enough TV?

64K ought to be enough for everybody.

So does this mean the moon really isn't made out of cheese?
That is not my glove!
So I must be a dog then.... Except for the finding food in the morning -- I usually just find a stack of paperwork

Perhaps this is just another clever ploy of N.K to get the rest of the world very very angry.
