I find it facinating on how emotionaly charged the whole subject is.
For instance @ work we were discussing the subject. Somebody said that if the temprature @ the south pole was raised 1 degree it would all melt and the world would flood.
When I pointed out that the avrage Summer temperture was about -25C (I had found that out on a PBS or TVO spcial the week before) they got really offended. bizzare.
Other things that are really Odd.
Have you ever noticed that on a hot day everyone talks about "Global Warming" but on a cool day everybody forgets about it.
When the great lakes were low everybody said that it was global warming. Then it rained a lot and we had a really cool summer, every body forgot that The great Lakes were being emptyed by Global Warming.
There is a guy out in Winnipeg who went through old Hudsons Bay Jouranals and got the weather readings from the last 200-300 years (i forget wich), and he claims this is just part of a 100 - 150 year cycle.
My perosonal opinion is that Global Warming is a scam by "green" conmen ("greenpeace" comes to mind here) so they don't need to get real jobs, and can screw high school girls
Shure And some times my hits to a station in ottawa go by way of Japan & Europe.
There are 2 links from Canada to the US (one in Windsor, one in Vancover) , So in theory anyway all it would take is 2 good sharp blows with a machette or something.
Every thing would just reroute. (Probbaly to Japan an Europe)
"An answering machine is a device to talk to people you don't want to talk too. A VCR is a device to tape shows that you don't to watch"
I think I got that more or less right.
So what you do is connect your Answering machine to the VCR, then ABC Can talk to the VCR with out bothering you. Then hook up the VCR to your computer and pump the whole thing out on Gnutella. (This is so that all of us have the option of not watching the shows, more effective then if each of ignored the shows on our own.)
Please do this right now, as I want to start stopping watching ABC soon.
When I was a kid, I hung with a lot of skins and punks. The Cops would shake us down every time they saw us.
It wasn't that they knew we were up to something. (although yea sometimes we were... but no more then anyone else). I personaly have never had a record, but the cops knew we were trouble, mostly because we were skins & punks. (And no I was not a bigot)
It is not a question of being a crook, it is a question of being percived as a "unwanted element". We were an unwanted element.
I do not feel comfertable with the FBI (or anybody) with this kind of power. How long to they start shaking you down.
But your Goverment is not going to opperess anyone. NO REALLY. Just ask them. YOU: Are you going to oppress any one? US GOVT: No. Of course not. What would make you think a thought like that. Silly boy (girl, whatever) are you paraniod or something?
How many times do I need to redirect a printout to Someplace else on the planet. Esp. when the printer is on the Internet & (one would assume) so is the person. (E-mail, FTP whatever.
If it is within the compnay (say the HP plotter in Eng) I can print to it with the Jetdirect software. (or windows shared with the printer shared.... but we wont talk about that).
So what do you need another printing protocol for?
"I think you should do what jefferson said (it is your civic duty to break bad laws)" Jeferson also tried to Invade Canada (When the majority of the inhabatents were revolutionary refugees.) Jeferson also owned slaves...or wait was slavery a GOOD law....even though he found slavery repulsive. He talked a good talk, but lets face it, He did not live up to it "but why is it wrong to vandalize a place which commits such horrible wage slavery" Mostly because when you vandalise something you don't really accomplish anything. Lets say I walked in to a Gap with a hand granade and tossed it. What whould happen. The store would shut down for a day new stock would come in form wherever, paid for by the insurance company. Nothing really changes. True it didn't hurt anyone, but it didn't help anyone either But lets just say that you convince not force people not to buy GAP clothing. All of a sudden you have change for a positive world. Companies that make non-exploiteve clothing would get sales. People would examine there own lives. This is thebegining of change It is the hardest way, but to do it any other way leads to Facism and intolerance. Which is right back where we are now. I doubt there will ever be a time when every (wo)man will have equil power in all decisions. I am not entirely convinced that they should. "So when I watch the completely biased media report on what anarchist do (it's certainly gonna be biased because we are against they very companies who pay for these news channels)" Oh right like the ONLY people who the NEWS is biased agenst are anarchists. We will just ignore Goths, Skins, Blacks, Arabs, Hispanics and just about everyone else who is different. Nope It's just YOU. Spare Me.
I think it was Larry Niven who said someing like this....(This is from memory) "If you were to ask a ape 3 million years ago what the 'Super Ape' would be like he would Probably say 'Bigger, stronger' but really it was an opposable thumb, and the Ape that had it (man) was smaller, and weaker"
Also it is not true that History has shown that "the first society to take advantage of advances in technology will dominate".
I guess I would have to call this the Maxium Machine Gun argumment. It goes like this. "The British developed the Maxium Machine Gun, and they used it to maintain power over everybody else."
And that worked fine for the first 50 years or so, but then EVREYBODY got Machine guns. And look where England is now.
Slashdot Mirror
But I would miss the Darwan awards.... :-)

But I am known as something of a cynic
From my boss who used to work @ bell I think I have a red face now
It was called the war of 1812. The Yanks claim they won it. But They tried to take us over. They failed. We won.

What 3 films did the Phoenix studio do?
So...If somebody dresses in a manner that offends you, you feel that it is Ok for them to harrased by the cops.
Reminds me of a line from The Dead Kennedys
"It's the Suede-Denim Secret Police. They have come for your uncool nice"
And that is sorta what the whole topic is about Eh?
There are parts of Qubec where it is 80% english or cree.
What is unnecesary Paranioa?

Good point. Another is....

HELLO.... The Second Best Place to open a untraceable bank account is YOU GUESSED IT.... THE CAYMANS.
WOW Just imagine
My toaster on Win2K....
Knowing Microsofts love of overkill they will use lasers to heat everything.
The toaster "freezes" for no apperant reason casuing my toast to comeout as carbon.
Script Kiddies get a hold of it and now the lasers burn "I love you" in every piece of toast. The rest is uncooked.
You can surf the web from the touch screen on the side of the toaster, but you burn your fingers when you use it.
You would press the done button to start toasting.
you need to reboot the toaster every morning.
There are rumors that the Linux toasters spread Black Death....
Thx I have a nephew who is a Script Kiddie well.... VB kiddie.... I never know what he is talking about
It is Odd that you say that becasue all the warez sites (s1t3s...z1t3z...51t35?) that I know of are in Germany or Russia.
So I just assumed that the laws were... less over there....
Not that I or any one I know would EVER vist a warez site.
That would be WRONG.
What effect (if any) will this have on other OS'es in Germany
Do you think that it will encourage Linux\BSD et all? Or are they just going to pirate Win2K.

What is the next evolutionary step?
I think it was Larry Niven who said someing like this....(This is from memory)
