You should really go study your criminology. Your thinking is wrong. Crimes are motivated by a persons mindset? Yes. All crimes against a person are motivated by their hate against another person, the only differences are how aggrieved they are against the other party.
The funny thing is, all crimes against another person are hate crimes. Putting a special label on them is stupid and obtuse. But you've got to make the hug and run liberal establishment feel better over it, feelings have to be considered and guilt reconciled. Instead of treating a terrible criminal act, as a terrible criminal act and applying a harsh penalty.
What's odd about this is, the paid calling card is apparently from Quebec. But this guy is from Alberta? Did he drive across the country or something to get it. I also seem to remember this guy doing work for the liberals a few years ago too.
You, much like that article seem to be forgetting the wear cost on the vehicle. Starting unless there's a pre-oil pump even when the vehicle is hot does damage, and you're also causing hard stress damage to other components restarting the car like that. Timing chains, more so belts on most vehicles. Bearings, gaskets and so on don't take shutting off and restarting off and on in rapid succession very well. Especially with all the lightweight materials we use in engines these days.
That comic is stupid. People need to stop making up stupid excuses.
No the comic is factually actuate. When people want to buy something, with money in hand. Give them the opportunity to buy it, when they have it with the money in their hand. Otherwise, they'll go anywhere else for it, even if they download it.
People won't wait. Why should they, welcome to the digital age. Does it magically take data longer to show up online when it's being stamped for retail sale too? No, no it doesn't. They'll figure it out eventually, that impulse buying = more money. Until then, it won't change.
Hell if they want to get *more* people interested in digital services, they'd undercut the retail market by doing this.
Good luck with that. This is why harsh privacy laws already exist in some countries, germany and canada for example. They can try to mine whatever the hell they want, but the second that they violate the laws of the country and they operate here they're screwed.
I'm not actually blaming them. I'm pointing out a fact that the liberals brought forth the original legislation, despite their "anti-american" stance. They happily ride the line of hypocrisy until it bites them in the ass. Oddly enough, anyone can promote a bill outside of the rider. Though here's the odd part, there's nothing to say that backroom deals haven't gone on to support the reintroduction from the conservatives for liberal support either. And that has happened before in politics here too.
The liberals also happily supported it. Along with blowing billions of dollars, remember adscam? Following their leader blindly right off a cliff and taking tax payer money along with it...right.
Someone forgetting that it was the liberals who brought us up to bring the law into line in the first place? Besides, I'd have thought that you'd have figured something out. That even with enough outcry the government still listens to the people up here. Otherwise C30 wouldn't be open for discussion being modified, we wouldn't have scrapped the long gun registry. And we sure wouldn't be looking at scrapping S.13 from the HRC(the one that prohibits free speech).
It's not our internet anymore. It hasn't been for quite a while now.
No it's still my internet, as much as it's your internet, and the GP's internet. The reality is, people don't want tinpot dictators grabbing any power on it at all. And the more people fight against it the better chances they won't be able to.
I thought it was a pretty good joke. You have been to Tokyo right? Well, it might not fit well with Kyoto but all the same. People seem to get their asses all up tight whenever a building goes up in Kyoto, hell if I know why.
And Dan Rather didn't try to throw an entire US presidential election by lying out of his face. It was "fake but accurate" until he got caught with his shit running down his legs either.
Funny how ethics suddenly becomes this slippery slope.
No I do know, oh how do I know. I've made(as in designed) them before for custom CAD-CAM software. Though this is going back 8-10 years, and I know they've gotten better, especially considering what we were working with. But the reality of breaking them still stands, at worst you might have to screw around with them a bit. But a dongle isn't a viable option.
The first revision that they subbed out was beaten in 8 mins with a soldering iron. The second version took around 30mins, again subbed out. The version I made, well it still took around 8 hours, and you had to be able to get your hands on the IC for it. But even then someone with an oscilloscope and enough time was able to beat it eventually.
Funny how you got modded troll for telling exactly what environmentalists have been going on for about, for years. It's been much warmer than it has now. Much, much warmer. It's also been a hell of a lot colder. $20 says that in 30 years, our kids will be wondering why anyone believed in this.
Pft. Considering the state of public education these days, fuck'em. And I say that in the nicest way possible. About 3/4's of the kids in the neighborhood where the wife and I are are either home schooled or go to a private school, simply because parents don't believe that they're being taught correctly. Then again this is Ontario, no the US. But the more flappyheadeness that comes from a teacher and unions over 'attacks on public education' the further I come to believe that there's something fundamentally broken.
I still remember the happy-go-lucky fun times of attempted indoctrination and pressuring, though I actually didn't understand it until I was much older. As far back as grade 5. When the teachers here would push students to pressure their parents to vote for political parties like the NDP or we wouldn't get paper and pencils.
Well provide the paid version like you do now, and provide a stripped down version that has some really neat features that the pirates who would really want your software would use. There's no form of DRM that will stop anyone from taking it, none. Auth servers? Crackable. Dongles, about 8mins with a soldiering iron. Token keys, same deal, just longer. Rings, yep. And every bit of DRM that you use, will more than likely piss off your paying customer when it breaks the software.
Unique serials do work, especially if they're uniquely identified to who you're selling it to. Then you can at least go after them for copy infringement.
My guess. Knife-fight range, in other words not much difference then what we saw in the days of battleships and dreadnaughts on the highseas. Both sides hammering the living fuck out of each other with smaller ships on each side trying to maneuver in to cripple the larger vessels, while trying to pop each other off..
You know it kinda makes me wonder how much more the average Brit will take before they simply riot the hell out of the place. Then again, there might not be that many actual brits left, in the last 3 years I've had 104 families move into my neighborhood that came from there to Canadaland.
Well, Pakistan doesn't have much in the way of nuclear security for their nuke arsenal for one thing. So don't kid yourself. Their launch codes going rogue has happened more than once according to intercepted wires. That's different then losing the codes. So in truth I'd be more worried about that, then anything. But the atlantic, meh. Not exactly high journalism to start with.
Section 34 was introduced merely as negotiation fodder. It will be thrown out so that opponents will be more willing to accept the other terms of the bill, which are the ones actually desired.
Don't get the reasoning on this. Most people seem to be up in arms over the exigent circumstances part. But we already have that on the books, covering entry to a home, phone taps, mail, fire arms, etc. There's rules governing it if you do it. Serious penalties if you fail to follow the rules including long jail times. There's a reason why there's an exigent circumstances clause, the FLQ. Canada has a pretty good, long history of home-grown terrorists who like doing nasty shit to pretty much anyone they decide they want to.
What I have a problem with, is everyone under the sun having the the ability to do this instead of just law enforcement. Exigent circumstance as it stands now isn't abused, you're risking 10 years in jail. It's automatic.
Can't tell if you're ignorant of world religions, or simply brain washed to the point where you think that Islam has been sunshine and bunnies from the start. Islam has been "putting people to the sword" in the "convert or die" type of way from the start. In Christianity, the regular people had their reformation already tossed off the yoke of the church, and more then one government did, from the simplistic to the grandest points.
But I'm sure your first point will be to try and argue that it was "christian aggression" that started the crusades too. Instead of muslims and the tide of islam mass-murdering people in Spain for nearly 300 years that did it.

Hey, if you were Al Gore, you'd be correct.
/. has no shortage of people stuck in group think mode. What's worse is they haven't figured out that -1 flamebait isn't "I disagree" rather it's "-1 I'm an intellectual coward."
You should really go study your criminology. Your thinking is wrong. Crimes are motivated by a persons mindset? Yes. All crimes against a person are motivated by their hate against another person, the only differences are how aggrieved they are against the other party.
Those are aggravating circumstances. Not intent.
The funny thing is, all crimes against another person are hate crimes. Putting a special label on them is stupid and obtuse. But you've got to make the hug and run liberal establishment feel better over it, feelings have to be considered and guilt reconciled. Instead of treating a terrible criminal act, as a terrible criminal act and applying a harsh penalty.

I guess you don't watch much sun news. They're far more critical of the Harper government then the Star was of the Chrétien or McGuinty governments. Or the Globe was of either of them. In fact, if you look at the articles of the day, both papers were sucking at the tits and still do of both parties, and the sun has been critical of the conservatives when they haven't been conservative enough(i.e. acting more like liberals).
Someone forgetting that it was the liberals who brought us up to bring the law into line in the first place? Besides, I'd have thought that you'd have figured something out.
