Yes, it's a tit for tat situation. We can spy on American's and the US can spy on Canadian's.
Several folks that I know or knew(some are dead now from old age/terminal diseases) who worked for various police services across the country said that this is exactly what goes on. Since you can't look at/up people via CPIC legally, among other databases, you can let your neighbors spy on you and reciprocate. All with the nudge-nudge, wink wink.
I don't think so. Note the cost estimates for a program of supposedly massive scale: $20M/year.
That one number completely destroys the credibility of the slides. Even if you multiplied that number by 10 it would probably still be a bit on the low side.
If it's anything I've learned in the land of politics, estimates are always lowballed until the program/new building/etc is up and running, and then the "real un-estimated costs" come to light. An example from Ontario(cdn), with the gas plant scandal. Estimated costs to move the NG power plant from Mississauga, Ontario to Bath, Ontario: $40m. Actual cost after the preliminary investigation by the auditor-general: $150m+ Final cost? Unknown, wait for the final report later this year.
In truth it doesn't destroy the credibility, but rather reinforces it by the standard low-ball approach.
Nah. Gotta keep up the imaginary growth factor, after all it's not like banks over there are already running into issues seizing assets from companies who've taken loans out against them. You know, two, three or sometimes four times. Wish I could find the article on zero hedge again but it was up sometime last year.
I'm not a generally paranoid person, but damn it all to hell. You've got the DOJ and it appears members of the Obama administration targeting "enemies" and now you've got them on a run with them being able to do taps because of whatever they feel like. And people called Bush bad? This is right out of "how to create your own dictatorship." What's next? Said enemies start to disappear because they're not toeing the Obama line.
You talk nonsense. People were murdered and their home stolen. After pushing them onto reservation-type camps, they are still subject to things like collective punishments - which include mass aerial bombardment of civilian homes with white phosphorus, or the interruption of potable water.
No actually I'm not talking nonsense, see other posts that have replied to you. And the Arabs went out of their way committing pogoms all over the middle-east, and all those Jews who were forced out have never seen a day's worth of compensation for them. As a useful point, said pogoms started just after the grand mufti came back from Nazi Germany, and the creation of the arab brigade. In turn, arab countries started instituting similar policies.
After all, when you flee from your land on the hope that a group is going to be collectively slaughtered and you get it all, is your own damned fault. Never mind that said palestinians will happily put things like armaments and weapon manufacturing in "civilian homes" which is a war crime, they put weapons and weapon manufacturing in mosques. They launch attacks from the grounds of hospitals, homes, farms, and mosques...again all of which are war crimes. The interruption of potable water is *not* a war crime if you still supply it by another source, which Israel does.
Not only are you ignorant of what's going on now, the last 20 years, but you're ignorant of what's happened in the region 70 or even 100 years ago.
Ah the 1948 war, where the arabs told the other arabs living in said regions that if they flee, they'll be able to live on the land of the jews that they those arab armies were going to ethnically cleanse. Never mind that said arab armies did in fact commit cleansing...of their fellow arabs, and in those regions among others. That's not new, news.
Anyone know how they made up the slack besides conservation? More coal?
Yes coal. In fact they've been buying long-term contracts, or outright buying mines in Western Canada to supply their energy needs, though the fact that we are dripping in coal up here is of no consequence. One of the mines(Grande Cache Coal) where my sister lives(Grande Cache, AB) was bought out simply for that. And GC coal is now on the road to open a 2nd and 3rd strip mine, I believe that the agreements are complete, though I may be wrong. Oh and all this stuff is shipped by train, to the west coast.
I did find it funny there, there's so much oil, coal, and tar sands around there that you can watch it either ooze up from the ground, or right into the river. Oh and I can't forget natural gas, there's a reason the entire area from there to Grande Prairie is known as sour gas alley.
He's not a dictator in any sense. A majority of Turks are very clearly supportive of him. There is very little doubt about this.
You mean the same guy who's bulldozing anything relating to "anything he doesn't like" and putting malls on them. While grafting out the contracts to his best friends and skimming money off the top. Or arresting and executing members of the military because they support a secular society.
As a point right now, Turkey is running full on to a theocracy.
To be realistic? Baldurs Gate worked fine before they tried milking it for an "enhanced edition" which was horribly broken. And most people used Tutu(be kind/. they can't always handle the load) to make it a bit more stable and of course add kit classes.
The *actual* problem is that becauso religious fundamentalist social conditioning, you think a kid watching porn would be something bad or even "harmful".... while *insane* psychopathic bood-baths and religious schizophrenic brainwashing on public TV is somehow completely OK.
Yeah you might want to go explore the world a bit, I'd run out of fingers, and toes three times over with the number of left-leaning parents who have this view point. This mindset is exceptionally prevalent in the GTA, and other left-leaning strongholds here in Canada.
If you can't spare the time to supervise your kid's on-line activities, they shouldn't be on-line, or you shouldn't be a parent.
Considering the quality of kids these days? Most people shouldn't be a parent, after all many people for the last 20 years have been using TV as the parent, and now more are using the interwebs. Quality upbringing right there.
Compared to China, which in the last year has crossed into India and conducted raids. And attempted to seize border areas? Yeah, China is the bigger threat.
Yes they are very popular, but it's not like there aren't alternatives
That was pretty much the reasoning from the big3 and others, and it still didn't help them. It took AMC dying a grueling death to wake them out of their stupor.
That's how they currently approach every product. And when I say every product, I mean every product. They're not even trying to compete anymore.
That line of thinking didn't work for the automotive industry in the 70's and 80's. It won't work for google either, all it will take is consumers being fedup and an alternative.
326. (1) Every one commits theft who fraudulently, maliciously, or without colour of right,
(a) abstracts, consumes or uses electricity or gas or causes it to be wasted or diverted; or
(b) uses any telecommunication facility or obtains any telecommunication service.
Noting:
(2) In this section and section 327, "telecommunication" means any transmission, emission or reception of signs, signals, writing, images or sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, visual or other electromagnetic system.
That charge can be laid against someone who illegally uses access to a telecommunication service--meaning phones, illegal wiretaps, and so on. Also including breaking into wifi networks and so on.
We can stop essentially all crime, or at least prosecute it after it happens by installing surveillance everywhere
Well I suppose one could you take a look at the UK and their surveillance everywhere idea and how it's not doing squat for reducing crime rates. Rather with fewer bodies on the ground, criminals know exactly when and where to hit because of how long it takes police to respond. And how to foil the system as well.
Really if they wanted to reduce graffiti, they'd have people on the ground doing patrols. It works, even if it's random. They don't need to be peace officers, or the german equivalent but rather min. wage patrollers who watch high value targets and can call in police. Arm them with camera's and some stuff for self defense and call it a day.
You mean the Fox News that is banned up here in Canada because it is too biased and inaccurate for it to be allowed to be called a news program?
You know, if you're going to lie. Make it believable, it's available in Canada as a specialty channel. I should know, I was one of the key people who got it carried here, being an ardent charter believer that S2 of the Charter means what it says.
Can you point to us where the other networks were investigating things...unless fox was investigating it first? You know, sometimes a month or more beforehand. Besides, it wasn't just MSNBC in pander mode, but NBC, CBS, CNN, and NPR. So, really now we've got a 5:1 ratio. Then again, Fox was hardly silent during the days of W, and broke several stories that the other part of news media then caught onto. And really the media hasn't only done this with the current administration, but other important news stories...like the Gosnell trial. And the only reason why they refused to do any news on that is because they were carrying even more water.
Even though I'm up in Canada, Fox was the only one that carried pundits on both sides of the issue on that one. The other 5 did nothing on it, for nearly a month. In fact the reserved press section in the courtroom was uniformly empty of them, AP, Reuters, AFP among others and only Fox and bloggers were the ones covering it.

Apparently DHS can search laptops and phones based on "hunches" as well.

Yep, and look at how well that worked out. Case in point: Egypt.
He's not a dictator in any sense. A majority of Turks are very clearly supportive of him. There is very little doubt about this.

Same holds true in Canada. Though they have been rolling out FTTN for the last few years, but in the end last mile is still copper.

Most young girls learn about sex by the time they're 9 in said muslim countries, even in places where child brides are illegal.
Compared to China, which in the last year has crossed into India and conducted raids. And attempted to seize border areas? Yeah, China is the bigger threat.
Sounds like a regular disk drive structure to me. Nothing particularly "intricate" about it.
Well look at it this way, going by the blurb for the low-info voters, everyone is now guilty of having child porn.
Yes they are very popular, but it's not like there aren't alternatives

The one regarding " fraudulently obtaining telecommunications services" is pretty straight forward.
326. (1) Every one commits theft who fraudulently, maliciously, or without colour of right,
(a) abstracts, consumes or uses electricity or gas or causes it to be wasted or diverted; or
(b) uses any telecommunication facility or obtains any telecommunication service.
Noting:

Easy enough. And an extra. POP is considered the defacto source for police services around the world if you're wondering.
Try to install and run Steam in a restricted user account without ever granting any elevated access.
Try "offline mode" or simply set user permissions for the app from within the user restricted account and guess what happens? It works.

Don't trust the DOJ on what it states as "best rules."
