What's wrong with the middle ages? People were fucking and screwing everywhere, because of the black death. Hell most of the fetishes that exist today were directly responsible because of STD's(Chlamydia, Gonorrhea), Syphilis being the big ones) which led to various fetishes(feet, hands, bondage, kinks, etc).
Maybe it would be better to say, just when you thought people being stupid about sex was over. OMG BOOBIES!(I like legs myself).
Service obligations are different from actual training. A group of swiss soldiers, or Israeli soldiers both who are drafted get more in basic outside of the whole million man army. So what you smoking? You seem to believe that large numbers of people with limited training, are better off then small groups of people with specialized training, or longer proficient training.
By all means, go actually check and see how much training is given. The average US or Canuck soldier gets more in basic then the average 'conscript' gets in 12 months.
The fact that it's an unelected body means it's not beholden to the people it's "supposed to represent" in otherwords, it operates in the land of despotic decree. Imagine that, people who aren't elected, believing that because they're not elected, and therefore don't have to be subject to the whims of the peasants, will in turn make all the choices based on what they want to do. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. I believe that Venezuela just switched to this(Chavez can now run the country by decree, effectively he's no longer an elected leader).
Man I can see it now. We have Iran on the human rights council along with several other countries that believe human rights are what you're told, not what they are. Hey, cut off the fuckers hands, he stole a loaf of bread. That believe that women are chattel, well I suppose if you're into that it's all cool. Hey, get back in the house! And believe mass oppression is the opiate of relief.
Good government is the representation of the people, by whom they're elected by. Self-government is representation by appointee(read czars, and other unelected officials).
No but they're more likely to. The die hard followers will always hang on, Japan post-WWII, same with Italy, Nazi Germany, and so on. The majority who are tired of it, or actually see the outside world beyond their borders will be what kills the cult-centric leadership and following dead.
Well I don't know about it being painful to see it go. It was a terrible show, and whoever thought that horror-story based tv programes were a good idea should be shot. Or flung into the sun, either one works. I hated SG:U for the same reason I hated the revamped BSG. It was the same thing, with shitty camera work that's supposed to make things look 'cool'.
You're pretty much spot on. Just remember that their military power isn't all that great. Sure they've got lots of soldiers(read cannon fodder), but they don't have the training to make up for it. A lot of countries are still on the whole 18th century method of soldiers. 3 weeks of training, hand them a gun and send them out. China does it, N.Korea does it, Russia does it. Manpower based armies are dead, especially when you can take out the commanding leadership with one missile, and leave all the gunts on the field brainless.
If the US had as much control as you think it does. Iran wouldn't be on the 'anti-racism council' I mean...the "we hate all jews council", along with being on the councils for womens rights. I'm sure you see the irony in all of that.
Considering that the average reading level of an adult in Canada and the US is between grades 6-9? Dunno, that's the main reason why print media(read all news papers), use a simplified format.
Collecting and using IP addresses is useless. You can spoof them, you can spoof mac addresses, you can find some IP or MAC from a government building and use it as your own. And where does that leave you? Pretty much no where. Well I'm sure someone is going to be in trouble when their government office gets raided and the printer gets taken away.
As for a inner circle of ring leaders? No, it's a very large group of people who share commonalities in group-think, and the same idealism. Trying to work with something like that, it leaves you to: They are everyone, yet no one.
Both Lynx terminal sofware(1992), and Skylink custom terminal software(AKA skyterm) for BBS's had a 'highlight all' button. This has literally no legs to stand on.
Sure it is. Drudge posts aggregated links to an article./. allows the slant of an individual to post their own summery, and add their own bias to it. Usually leaning towards the left, as the majority of posters here lie in that camp.
I agree, ad firms have put themselves into that mess. The reality is, they don't even realize it. I'm still wondering who had the brainwave to allow flash and js, to play outside of the sandbox.
Queue people whining and crying that people are thieves and all that because they block ads. Sorry, but if you can't be sure you'll never serve malware. You'll never be allowed to serve ads which might infect my machine with something...nasty. Especially now that ransomware is starting to become the next trend.
Honestly? For a privacy commissioner she's done a hell of a job. Taking her mandate seriously? I'd say so. Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Green, Bloc, small business, big business, internet related. NGO's, and so on. If you break the privacy act, you'll have her breathing down your neck fast. She's about as non-partisan, and pro-privacy as you can get.
In Canada we call it the privacy act. Works pretty well, unless you're dealing with a company outside of Canada. In which case as a Canadian you simply ignore everything they scream at you.
The only questions are: will the supreme court be smart enough to see this (it could affect them too if they link to external websites...assuming that you can actually sue a court?) and, if they aren't, whether the government is smart enough to see the consequences and fix them immediately without waiting to get sued.
If it's bad enough, the justices will simply give a current stay on their response. And let the government change the law, if it's really bad. The government will file an appeal and then change the law so it's not so fucked up.
The current justices we have on the supreme court are good, they're smart, and they understand technology for the most part. I'm not really worried about this.
Too true, family is what you make of it. I think I have one friend locally. The rest have moved world wide. In the US, Alaska, Indiana, California, New Mexico and Arizona. World wide, England, Ireland, Japan, China, Philippines, S.Korea, Israel and I just had one friend move to Uzbekistan from Italy because he's doing work on the telecom systems for the next 3-4 years.
My family? Alberta, all over different places in Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba. And I'm on the road about 330 days a year right now.
You're pretty good at the insults, especially when you have no idea that you're talking to a Canuck. What's to refute? Other than you're a blind partisan hack, frothing wildly at the mouth.
Meh checkboxes aren't binding in a lot of places. And are on par with shrink-wrap EULA's, in Canada the privacy act states that anything that's personally identifiable that a company collects, the customer or consumer must be clearly informed, that the company is collecting it and for what purposes. And if their policy is changing, the company must get written permission explicitly stating what they're changing and why.
Even a business relationship with a customer is not enough of a reason to violate a customers right to their privacy. If you want that marketing data, you must get full permission first.
That's pretty much the reason why FB is trying to make nice in Canada. Because the law says: You shall not under any circumstances do anything with personal information, without a clear explanation to the customer, client, or user.
I just skip ELUA's, privacy policies(unless canuck) and their ilk, because I already know they're not binding here. But if I have any legal problems, they're required to come to Canada in order for any disputes, according to the law of my land. Especially if they want to keep doing business here.

I'm quite sure they'll be taking down the The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice any day now. No shortage of kink in those that's for sure.
My brain hurts.

The main reason that WWI started though was because the doctrine of mobilization still existed.
As many times as it takes, for common sense for basic security to actually win?

Give everyone a knife!

That's nice. Now maybe you can have a cookie, nom on it. While the adults go back to discussing things.

What you're surprised at this? These are the same people who run second and third hand information as if it's factual.
