Correction: The US government doesn't like it when spies catch them doing something that they shouldn't be doing. In which case they go after said spies. After all, when you know who the spy is, sometimes it's useful to just feed them a bit.
People have plenty of attention span, the media on the otherhand has none. Heard much of anything about the majority of the democrats walking out of the Benghazi hearings because they refused to listen to witness testimony?
Wait, so factual information regardless of source is "misrepresenting" something? If one thing doesn't change with partisan hacks, it's "attack the messenger" and "flail uselessly" when faced with something they don't like. And since that's the standard M/O for the global warming movement, I shouldn't be surprised at a comment like that.
Okay there. You realize that a "social contract" in it's correct terms applies as: Society as a whole gives up specific rights/liberties, in exchange the state provides protection, and other protected rights/liberties. This whole new round of marketspeakish "social contract" stuff is nothing but bunk. What does need to happen is, the classical social contract needs to catch up with the digital era.
That was of course after the liberals were telling everyone that the total cost was going to be dirt cheap. And more recently with the destruction of said data, the RCMP is lying through it's teeth. What burns my ass on the entire thing is that the registry did nothing. Except as a feel-good project for anti-gun nuts. Well that and allowing the RCMP to break into houses in High River, gets even more interesting when you find out that they targeted houses, and broke into where firearms were stored.
As a useful point, this has been an on-going issue with Nvidia drivers since about 290ish--and in the last three releases on 400,500 and some 600's where the drivers were so bad that they caused hardlocks across the board. Where either the drivers have been crap, or causing hardware lockups, or the various reports that can't be confirmed of them nuking hardware. In fact, it got so bad back 6mo ago that nvidia was looking for people in the continental US to send their entire rigs in to their hardware labs for testing. So, people thinking that this is a "flameware" or some other asinine thing, need to realize that there's driver issues on both sides. Sometimes however, the issues are more serious than reported for one side or the other. And between the two, nvidia has the more serious driver issue, and that's coming from someone who's last 6 cards have all been nvidia made by evga--three of which that had to be RMA'd because of a sudden hardware failure after a driver update.
Thinking on this a bit more, it reminds me of how nvidia was at one point blaming the driver reset issue only on "bad configurations" and "PSU power issues" until it was found that undervolting or overvolting(mainly) the cards solved this problem. Especially on the 500 series cards, this was of course after they had adjusted the voltage supplied to the cards downward, in order to make them run cooler.
It removes the ability to **easily** create dozens (or even hundreds) of sockpuppet accounts.
Really? It's nice thinking, but it doesn't work. It didn't work when Blizzard tried it on their forums, and nothing stops people from making "fake real-id" types on *insert site xyz* if anything, the people are assholes with or without pseudonyms. And in some cases, when using a real-ID they're even worse than without.
Yeah that's not exactly hard. This entire thing is a waste of effort in terms of "making a better stove." Feel free to look up a daruma stove, or even the semi-classical pot-belly or mini-pot belly stove. The fun thing about pot belly stoves is they can be made from any material that doesn't burn. Of course the most common type was cast iron(iron of course being cheap during that time), but pure clay, and clay mixed with other materials such as asbestos was also common.
Oh it's pretty easy for us up here in Canada, it's even public knowledge.
Navy: 2 battle canoes, equipped with M34 beavers. And two rusted submarines. Airforce: 3 men and a hang glider. Army: 260 strong, 35 guns, no bullets.
Jokingly aside, it wasn't all that many years ago that "live" fire training on Canadian military bases revolved around yelling "bang." I wish I was kidding.
I always liked this line of tinfoil hat craziness. It reminds me of the people who say "there will never be a cure for cancer" except when you point out that there are indeed various clinical trials up now, and in some case experimental deployment of various cancer drugs now. My grandmother who has stage 4 lung cancer received a non-radiation treatment as part of her treatment plan, it reduced the size of the tumors by 50%. Sadly it didn't reduce it enough that they could successfully operate and remove said cancer, or even remove the lung itself.
Or people who complain that there won't be a cure for diabetes, except where you can point out things like...islet implants(aka a artificial pancreas). Where the failure rate over time is in the 20-30% range after 15 years. My sister got that, as part of the clinical trials here in Canada. Sadly she was in the very small subset(~10%) where it fails within 3 years.
Well here's the problem, in some cases that extra money leads to higher performance throughput for various applications. So like any deployment it's a performance/cost ratio right? It might mean you're saving on X but degrading on Y, and still ending up having to deploy Z.
Wonder how well it would work on those of us with cluster headaches/migraines and so on. Those rare days when it's only a headache would make thing implode.
Really? Odd that I can buy SSD's in a 1.5-3TB flavor these days, they're expensive as all hell, but I can buy them. They come in PCI-e and SATA flavors. And really at that point, you're running with a mirror or shadow backup, or something anyway. Besides, if you're using a single drive like that, you're at a single point of failure at both the consumer level and at the enterprise level. But let's be honest, you can't beat good backup practices into anyone. As much as you try, and all that.
Yeah those "college students, weed smoking liberal hippies, and unwashed OWS layabouts" have done a really good job. Remind me again which political groups that they've worked for that have been acted for/to american society? And of course those "NRA gun-toting loudmouths" were also the backbenchers behind the tea party which... gee...actually made a serious impact on the political landscape.
Hey remember the Bosnian civil war? You know the bosian muslims there shelled their own with chemical weapons as a pretext to get the west involved. He's not stupid, though he can be ruthless just like his father was. But there's no point in using chemical weapons to win, when you can use conventional weapons.
Be a long wait as the Conservatives have defunded Elections Canada quite a bit to make sure the wheels of justice don't turn.
Really? Cutting large numbers of duplicate bureaucrats which were appointed a decade ago, to do the same job as the same people who were already doing it...is cutting funding? Odd, somehow I never get that line of thinking, especially in government that has exploded in size and scope. Pay more attention to what's actually happening, and not what the CBC and Torstar is telling you.
The ones where people have actually been convicted of said misleading and fraudulent calls. Until that happens via court, or via elections canada--my statement is factually correct. Unlike some people who love to bash, and be partisan hacks. I'm more than happy to wait for the wheels of justice to work it's course.
Oddly, it reminds me of the Liberal party in Canada, who whined and cried over conservative voter fraud. Oddly enough, with elections canada stuffed to the gills with Liberal-friendly appointees, the only ones who've been found egregiously guilty were the Liberals and NDP...and that was in both cases of robocalls. The same thing that people(mainly special interest groups funded by leftwing groups from the US--gee I wonder why the Canadian Revenue Agency is looking closely at their finances now) were clamoring about with the conservatives.
Perhaps you can explain to us why your version of events doesn't match the witness testimony of the prosecutions star witness. That Martin left, went home, and came back.

That's pretty good, I remember back in the late 80's that they said that it would all be gone by 2000 or so.

Constitution? What's that? Oh you mean that banned document that you can't hand out on some university campuses anymore?

Well that explains some other things, like the cult of global warming; and their desire to cover up anything that isn't contrary to what's actually happening in the world.

Of course we have biological WMD's, haven't you ever seen a beaver tail?

Hey you are forgetting the stealth snowmobiles!
I'm sorry to say that those stealth snowmobiles are actually highly evolved moose.
