Actually, it has absolutely nothing to do with Canadian Border patrol. If they came from Canada and went through the border to the US then they would've passed through US customs officials. The US has to allow them in the country, They don't need Canda to Let them leave. The problem is the ease of them obtaining a canadian passport in canada.
Hmm... ya... most people would think we're in the year 2000, but if you actually know anything, it's really 1984. ------------------------------------------- ----------
umm.. wasn't his sentence for 5 years? cus i'm pretty sure that it was, but i could be wrong.. anyway, if it was for 5 years, then he has served his time. he wasn't let out early, his sentence was completed, therefore it's not parole.. i don't know how long probation lasts for him, but he's getting the shaft up the ass that's for sure. the damn government is using him as an example to all the other computer geniouses who think they can get away with hacking and cracking... ------------------------------------------------ -----
Ya, but he served his friggin' time in jail, and now he should be able to live a life... think about it, car thieves and the like have been known to turn around and put their skills to good use by working for security companies and alarm installers, so why can't kevin work as security for a big company, or teach people what's behind the technology so that people actually understand how it works, instead of just being mindless drones and using it... i mean COME ON!! -------------------------------------------- ---------
finally... although, i remember posting a similar story about linux driverfor the H+, but it was never posted... I'm glad someone out there is still writing code for this kinda stuff so that we can use it in Linux despite all the stupid lawsuits.. the only way that the RIAA is gonna get the message is if people just keep doing this. YAAAYY!!! ------------------------------------------------ -----
You dumbass! all of these files types that you've mentioned only fit those sizes because they are compressed... with huge drives in the TBs compression won't be needed. movies that u say take up 2-4 gigs are only like 720X480 (i think that's what DVD is, i don't remember), so imagine a movie with a resolution even 2 times higher! way better quality, and takes up more space! and that's still compressed... with bigger drives it's not the ability to store MORE files, it's the ability to store HIGHER QUALITY files! ------------------------------------------------ -----
Why do you people get so offended by being called geeks?? holy crap!! you're reading news on a site that reports stuff that geeks care about... you ARE geeks! who cares if you're not the sterotypical 80's geek with the black rimmed glasses with white tape around the bridge, you're still a geek. ------------------------------------------------ -----
hey, what about all the people who laughed at einstein for saying that it was possible for man to harness the power of the atom and destroy 2 Japanese cities, and make fish with 3 eyes, and make underwear glow??!?! u guys are being mean to this person! perhaps he just needs a good pharmaceutical? --------------------------------- --------------------
2001 sucked ass! oh sure, it had some interesting points to it, but it was boring as shit! i WANTED to fall asleep! ------------------------------------------------ -----
What are your views on the idea that life exists on another planet in the solar system? also, everyone agrees that in order for a planet to support life, it must have water.. is it not conceivable that there may be some other form of life that is radically different than anything we've thought of? life on earth is relatively young, especially human, so how are we to know that some other life didn't exist that was not dependant on water? -Nick
