There are WAY more important laws that clearly shows Canada's are generally more enlightened and less restrictive compared to their American counterparts.
Including copyright law. You see, Michael Geist is stuck in the 80's, where "bad" means "good". Understand now?
That is what is so great about open source. You don't need to wait for Sun or Oracle to sell Open Office. You can do it yourself. Just make sure to include the source code on the CD, and the GPL notice in the manual, and on the box.
I tried to access the floppy drive. Eventually gave up, and re-installed Windows. That was 1998. I finally installed Debian Aug 2006 and it's been running on this machine ever since.
Windows is like a drug addiction. Sometimes it takes several tries to kick it.
When I saw the summary title, I immediately thought of paypalsucks.com. However, this is different. Nobody would think that paypalsucks.com was run by Paypal (*), and it is a commentary on paypal, so it is not infringing trademark. Wikipediaart.org sounds like something run by Wikipedia.
* Interestingly, googlesucks.com is owned by Google. They took the domain name to dampen criticism visibility. See: googlesux.com
Something is seriously wrong when you have to explicitly state, "The FBI did not commit any crimes in this story." When I read the summary, I felt that the warrant was implied, but with everything that has happened, I also feel that you are completely justified to think that that info was missing.
This guy makes a big claim, that filesharing services such as TPB are hurting indie artists, but provides abosolutely no evidence to back it up. There is absolutely no evidence against this either: "Filesharing will provide massive marketing to new artists, and drive forward a new and more dynamic music market."
The closest thing to evidence he has is a list showing that the Top 100 contains only popular stuff. Duh. Not saying he is wrong. I have always thought that the "we are helping indie artists" was overplayed by freeloaders such as myself who like to get something for nothing. But this guy wrote too many paragraphs to supply no evidence.
First, the vast majority of people will not pay a hefty monthly fee for immediate access to recent movies and TV shows. So there really is not market for it. You cannot compete with free by putting a "hefty" fee on it. God, that's fricken ludicrous. Why is this completely asinine idea even posted here?!
Presumably, if the writer would be willing to pay a hefty fee, he would also be willing to pay a reasonable fee.
which stores the owner's biometric information, including personal details
By definition, any biometric information will be personal. We can only assume that "personal details" is actually a euphemism for something specific, although I do not believe that that is appropriate for a passport.
No. All I said was that it would be safer. And logic and history predicts it would be.
It takes a really special kind of person to write all of the stuff you did. Considering the immense detail, and inappropriate outlet, I am sure all of that stuff happened to you. I'm sorry. And you still have several years to go before you are old enough to move out of your parent's house.
You should consider talking to your school counselor. Or one of your teachers, if you feel you can trust them.
That would reduce the risk for the mother; I doubt it would reduce it for the child.
I couldn't disagree more. Machines have an excellent track record for accuracy, compared to humans. During the experimental stage, it might be dangerous for mother and child, but when the technology matures, it will be safer for both, and lots of people will be doing it. There will, of course, always be people who prefer the old fashioned way.
The one thing that would quickly decrease the risks of pregnancy to absolutely zero is an artificial womb!
Hooray! Somebody finally found something in this universe that has absolutely zero risk! And it involves babies and surgery!
I tried playing an online linux game called Daimonin. It is kind of like a multiplayer of the old Ultima's. AFAIK, it still suffers from a serious problem, in that it doesn't do any client side prediction, and so there is severe latency between every move and every action (about half a second, which makes the game too painful to play). I tried to fix it, and started by attempting to introduce some lag on my local connection, but didn't find a way to do it.
I have since discovered several methods of making a connection more internet like. Using iptables (or tc like in the article), you can introduce lag. You can also drop a certain number of packets, and cause UDP packets to show up out of order. I think a tutorial might be in order, as I was unable to find one years ago.
I think, in recent years, its become readily apparent that a company's true customers are it's stock holders and board members. The consumers are just raw material to be milked for money in ANY way possible.
Did you read the same summary I did? They stopped selling pdfs. The only alternatives now for a digital copy are to buy the books and scan every page yourself, or piracy. They aren't milking their consumers; they are throwing their money back at them.
I attempted to ping protecttheking.net, and got "ping: unknown host protecttheking.net". Perhaps they haven't set up the nameservers, or that info hasn't propogated yet.
Not to mention the risks. Cancer treatments can kill people, and surgery is always dangerous. Elderly people are the most likely to die from such treatments.

TigerDirect is nothing like AOL. TigerDirect sells cheap crap with lousy customer service at low prices.

In other news, Beethoven doesn't like rap.
Nice ideas. Here is all I had: Demand that the info be in ASCII text, and download it with wget.

I was thinking of writing in myself. Anonymously, of course.
