Personally I'm one of those odd people that believe that if a government agency fucks up this bad, there should be a public inquiry about it. And decide whether the agency should be dismantled all the people canned, and new blood brought in.
Hey we've done it before in Canada. Not once, but several times.
Someone with a stick up their ass, and doesn't like your opinion. It's happened alot since the UID count started going past the 600k range, which is a shame. I like to go with the: If you don't like my ideas or opinion, refute me. I don't rate negatively because I don't like someones opinion.
Best way to beat people with their own stupidity is meta-moderate.
Sadly, a lot of different factors combined to destroy the only multi-cultural democracy in the Middle East: Lebanon.
You mean Iran, the muslim brotherhood(along with their splinter groups?) I really don't consider that a lot of different factors. I'd simply call it 'we hate the jews, and everyone will die for the cause!' "pushing the jews into the sea!!!!!111!"
And no, it doesn't necessarily give you a single point of failure, or "central points of wekaness" any more than the internet does.
Oh I believe that dedicated links are worthwhile. The only question is what will happen, and how much money will be spent later. I'd call it human nature myself.
As for a central point of weakness? Sure. All you need to do is look at past incidents where some ship(whether cargo/fisherman/idiot) dredges along and kills net access to 1/3 of the worlds population, or limits it.
Because all trade networks connect to each other now, and the internet is the cheapest way than building dedicated hardlinks to innerconnect to all stock exchanges. I doubt that any exchange would be willing to drop billions to build trans-atlantic/pacific data exchanges, unless something catastrophic happened. Plus it creates central points of weakness.
That's nice but I'm Canadian. And we've done some damn bad shit in our time, even worse than the US in order to keep our country safe. Embargo? Pft. Even countries embargo'd in this day and age have a higher standard of living than people who were living in the 'high-life' days of communism.
The problem with communism, is communism itself. Don't try to whitewash what was done, or the ideas behind it. There's no need to look at the pretty artwork on the cover, when the pages are covered in the blood of hundreds of millions.
That's ok. The old Communism wasn't much of a threat either.
Nuh-huh. Keep on telling yourself that, I'm sure that many like my grandfather who spent 25yrs in a soviet gulag(he was Ukrainian), because he refused to hand over all of his crops, and livestock(except 2 animals), to the local government so they could send all the food into mainland russia; would by and far agree that it wasn't a threat.
I mean sure. Starving people to death is so passe, better to steal their livelihoods then starve them to death, along with an entire country. And the ones that live will be so grateful to you for that. No wonder he ran his family to germany, hooked up with resistance members, and ran like fuck for the west. My mom has some rather interesting stories from working in the underground too. Like hiding in basement crawl spaces during a stasi raid, because there was a rumor someone had a crystal radio.
How about every place where religion of any stripe is on the rise?
Sorry no. Some religions are bent, towards a goal because they lack things like reformations. Canada for example is exceptionally religious despite what people believe. We don't see these problems except with the arab-muslim communities, where they're close to being 100% insular.
49% of Egyptians say Islam plays only a "small role" in public affairs under President Hosni Mubarak, while 95% prefer the religion play a "large role in politics."
84% favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim faith.
82% support stoning adulterers.
77% think thieves should have their hands cut off.
54% support a law segregating women from men in the workplace.
54% believe suicide bombings that kill civilians can be justified.
Nearly half support the terrorist group Hamas.
30% have a favorable opinion of Hezbollah.
20% maintain positive views of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden.
82% of Egyptians dislike the U.S. â" the highest unfavorable rating among the 18 Muslim nations Pew surveyed.
And every place where 'islam is on the rise' including moderate indonesia, you'll see: repression, repression, repression. It's not the new communism, it's a push towards the dark ages.
If you had a clue about middle east politics you'd know that a large part of the people there support a form of sharia law(80% or more). Which in turn means that the MB has strong peripheral support from the public to push for such a thing. Now with this being a defacto coup, there is the possibility that the military would step in before such a thing happened as well, just as it did here. But that remains to be seen.
Welcome to reality, she's a cold mistress. Mubark was a bottom feeder, but he isn't as bad as it can get. Of course Iran is now panicking, and has cut various news feeds of it too.
That's nice. But in some parts of the world(like Canada) cell phones are so expensive that the telco's fuck you in the face with a cheese shredder as a form of business.
Easy. He'll raise taxes. Of course I'm sure this will make businesses love him, and the people too. Especially when your economic situation is very close to a depression style event.
I hope you're joking. Seeing a speed increase of 40km/h in under 25m isn't a radical increase? Damn. Good thing people don't get hit by cars at that speed(50-90km/h) and die or anything.
Wait republicans are incapable of cooperating across party lines? And you think that repealing the healthcare thing is a bad idea as instanced by the republicans? Man the entire thing should be scrapped and then launched into the sun.
If the US was trying to get healthcare for everyone, they should have modeled it after Canada. AKA no federal control.
Did you know that if either the lower O2 sensor, or the EGR valve are bad/failing/etc, that you'll get acceleration without doing anything? It's because the engine revs higher, in order to compensate for a bad fuel mixture.
What I find amusing is, all the people who said "he was different" well they were right. He is different than say Bush Jr. Of course, that's not in a good way. I guess you, deserve what you vote for.
No industry canada is equivalent to the FCC. The CRTC would be equivalent to...hell if I know but it no longer is an actual reflection of what it should and be doing.
The problem with your line of thinking is that you believe that the CRTC is a defacto part of the government. It's not, that's Industry Canada(signal usage/telephone/etc). The CRTC is a regulatory agency(regarding TV and now apparently internet), and doesn't touch telephony issues. And it's fully separate from the government.
Well I'd be with you, without question. The only problem is, people seem to get upset when you consider this as a viable option. I regularly get called out by the local police, to go and 'recover' idiots on my snow mobile(along with 3 other folks around here) until they can find someone to pull their car out which is stuck 2-8mi down a 'summer only' concession. Never mind the large signs that say NO PLOWING FROM NOV TO MARCH, with a 2ft plowed in drift at the front of the road. Then again I'm always surprised at how people will go around the 2ft drift, and through the ditch to get on these roads.
I might actually break my old record of 40 trips out this year. And yes, the services(police) around here have snow mobiles, but these people are low-rung on the totem pole, and the police are more likely to ask locals who know the area better to get them out, unless it's really serious(then they might fly in a helicopter). In the end if it's not to that, I just go pick up someone from the triage team from the local ski club.
Well I think the answer is simple. Texas should simply cut back on selling power to California as needed. Maybe then they'll get around to building a nuke plant or two.

Then we start again, running into problems.

In an obvious point to myself, I should have posted this but I guess it doesn't matter. I'll expect the usual partisan hacks to start trolling now. But you can read some reality right here: http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/562840/201102101920/What-Egyptians-Really-Do-Want.htm

Depends on where you are. In some places in the world it would be considered harassment and defamation of character.
No industry canada is equivalent to the FCC. The CRTC would be equivalent to...hell if I know but it no longer is an actual reflection of what it should and be doing.
Please come to Canada, and realize that what I said is right. What's reported, and what is, are two different things.
