Personally I blame, in no particular order. Government for telling people that the world is coming to an end, and keep your kids inside. I blame 'think of the children' idiots, for telling everyone that their kids are at risk from *random thing here*, and they should be coddled from birth until they leave. I blame psychologists for repeatedly saying the same things as the 'think of the children' idiots, along with telling parents that males should be quiet and demure. While prescribing drugs to keep them 'under control' aka ADHD.
I blame the media for doing the same thing and reinforcing it. And I blame parents for not being well informed, and following what the media presented, and what the 'school psychologists' told them. Along with being told that games like cops n' robbers(or variations like cowboys n' indians), or war, or any supper-happy-stupid childhood games are bad for them because it 'reinforces negative stereotypes'.
Pretty sure that covers it, I know I'm missing a few like school boards, and such. I don't however blame the kids, but I pity them. Because of all that, they never had a childhood where they could actually go out and enjoy themselves.
Canada, parts of the US, various parts of Europe. Australia, NZ, former soviet satellite states, most of Russia. Pretty much anywhere that isn't Japan or S.Korea
Okay sure. Well how about most places where you're on a capped bandwidth limit? Wonder what would happen if people started sending bills to the company who's sucking up all their bandwidth. It's sure not exactly cheap, some places have no cap on the amount they can charge you, and others cap at a max of $50/mo.
And no, ELUA's, walls of text, and so on are not binding everywhere. And where they are binding, many places require them to be plain declarations of intent(so people can understand them).
What unpleasant results? If they are operating as a dumb pipe, at the end of the line it's the user who is 'apparently' abusing it. This about the same as hydro, water or NG. If a user snaps a pipe in their basement or plays captn' sparkler against their mains box, it's sure not the service providers problem if they die.
Considering the guy who attacked the arab while drunk worked as part of a group supporting the ground zero mosque and was a devout leftist, you're going to have problems running that one by. This guy however takes many points of the hyper-leftist environmentalism an ran straight forward with them.
But hey, what does it matter? The left have been screaming wildly and blindly for the last year that all members of the tea party are conservative, and racist.
The reality is in the criminal system there's two lines of thought. The "environmental factors are the cause"(liberals) and they "did it because they thought they could get away with it"(conservative). In most criminal justice systems, liberals have pushed hard that people aren't at fault, but everything is at fault around them. I understand what the GP is talking about. There's been no shortage of studies in the last 150 years showing that criminality is opportunity based. Even at places of business ~40% of the people who work in a office will steal if they can. 30% will if the opportunity is there. The other 30% will never steal.
It follows through with most other crimes as well.
Dunno. I'm the first person in my family who hasn't been in farming in some form or another and I've never heard the term "milk from contented cows" before. However making your own silohooch is easy as dumping a jug at the bottom of your silo, filling it up and waiting.
Welcome to Canada? We have 33m people, and the majority of them live in a 100mi corridor along the US border. And where cable won't go, in some cases all you can get is copper.
I'm not sure who's brain is firing over at MS, but economy in the shitter. Mass unemployment, people using media as a form of escape. And instead of lowering the price and getting more(or return subs), they're increasing the price. Musta hired someone from Canada, or the UK.
No sorry it's not. Go forth, look at case law. General knowledge is the knowledge of the common people. AKA people who have no freaking clue. Depending on the situation you may be required on how to determine your accounting values on how you reach 2+2-387=4.
Sorry, but if you need to call a subject expert to tell you the atomic number of copper, you are a moron. As I said, pick up any chemistry text book and you'll find it. It is know, it is not disputed.
Well let me put it to you this way. If the judge, jury, either of the councilors, or witnesses don't understand what it may be. You're calling a subject expert, that's how law works. I suppose I could call you a moron for not understand how the courts work, or why they work the way they do. Court and law are built in two principals, fact and procedure.
It may be common fact to you that, 29 is the atomic number of copper. To a judge who's spent his life working in the legal system, it means nothing.
You shouldn't need to cite that, it's common knowledge. It's in any elementary chemistry text book.
Huh it's not common to me, and that's probably because my common knowledge doesn't apply to chemistry, or anything relating to elements in any form.
You'd probably be required to call some form of subject expert. Common knowledge would be things like, water comes from a faucet, rain falls from the sky. When the sun sets, it becomes dusk, when it rises it becomes sunrise. That the sky is blue, in the winter(around here) we can get lots of snow. Shoes have sizes, golfclubs are meant for golfing. Otherwise it's a supposition.
IANAL but I spend an awful lot of time in court listening to lawyers argue the definitions of 'common knowledge'.
It's crowdsourced knowledge, which is likely correct in many cases but is still subject to errors and abuse from bored teenagers and people with an agenda.
An interesting point with it being crowdsourced, in Canada in legal tradition. If something is common knowledge to everyone else, but not to the body of the court you might be able to site that as a basis of information. Lot of adults have no freaking clue on terms, ideas, etc of a generation below them. Then again the Justice or Judge could simply go "meh" and say it's not allowable without an expert witness of some kind.
Well lets roll up with this one. You state you haven't been in your comfort zone. Then you call individuals nazi's with no factual proof. That first sentence implies that you base your information off of specific talking points. Your second point states that fox manufactures stories and ignores the news.
How about some of the more recent news of the day. Cole prosecution dropped(or postponed), members of ABC news inciting, and attempting to manufacture false 'racism' at anti-mosque rallies. Failing to investigate various financier information with regards to various people. Failing to do proper investigative journalism with regards to individuals it has on it's show regarded as subject experts. Burying 'news of the day' that the majority of americans would be interested in.
There's an actual reason why only 20% of the public trust TV news(standard broadcast), and 15% trust newspapers.
You need to look up astroturf. Those outlets are reporting the facts. If anything, they're failing to properly deal with the facts about Fox News.
Actually perhaps you should get out of your comfort zone, and try doing some research. The only facts they present half the time is that they happily manufacture news, or report news that has no needed basis in reality. Manufacturing news is not reporting the facts, and they've been going hog-board-wild with it for the last 10 years.
Yeah. There were a few back during the early 90's that would transfer themselves via serial link cables if you had two machines connected. The worm would actively scan for active transfer connections of any kind, then copy itself. USB meh, nothing really new. USB is the floppy disk of today, and a lot of virii, trojans, and worms were spread by floppy in the not too distant past.
I'll bet that you'd have felt a lot different about it if you were downwind from it. While it might seem like a good idea, trash-to-steam is actually a fairly expensive way to create power, and can produce a lot of really toxic waste. Of course every generation of the plant gets a little better, chances are that your 'nearby' plant was older and less efficient.
Not really no. I've lived in some massively shitty places, before. I can also recognize when something benefits me and the community. Considering I was very hopeful when they were going to build a medical waste incinerator here, that would generate power and create somewhere around 400 jobs. Of course nimbyists and environmentalists killed that one too. Well considering steam is generally what is used in most power plants to generate power, that's kinda moot isn't it? It's not hard to pipe some off for nearby buildings so close you could hit all 4 with a rock.
The reality is, you're incorrect. Now you tell me, which one is worse. Trucking garbage 150+km(at the time) to toss into a landfill where it will rot away. Or burning it in a ewr, where the remains become the size of a 40gal barrel.

Wait. They consider traditional newspapers a reliable source? I haven't had a chance to laugh today, but that was great.

Really, Aussieland seems to be heading into the direction of you own no personal property. And as such, you can't do anything once you 'rent' it.

Well both of the sheets shown are terrible. They're at information overload, for most people who only care about how far will it go on X type of fuel.
Welcome to Canada? We have 33m people, and the majority of them live in a 100mi corridor along the US border. And where cable won't go, in some cases all you can get is copper.
Someone modded you funny, but that *is* the operating environment in Canada.

It's a fine example of what's wrong with patenting lines of code, vs a product. Welcome to screwed up city. Population: Everyone.
I understand the Canadian federal government doesn't give much to those parts of Canada for things like roads and infrastructure
That's because with the BNA, technically provinces and territories have more power than the feds and required to do their own leg work.
Guess you don't watch msnbc, abc, cbs or npr. I could cover a football stadium by the amount of astroturf they pump out.
Ask Quebec if they want to be a sovereign country they go hell yeah. Ask the east coasters if they want to join the US and they hmm. Might not be bad.
Were there any worms spread using a serial port?
Yeah. There were a few back during the early 90's that would transfer themselves via serial link cables if you had two machines connected. The worm would actively scan for active transfer connections of any kind, then copy itself. USB meh, nothing really new.
