It already is. More people in Canada are connected online and get their information from it then watch the TV. It trends even more deeply in the winter when we're not outside and freezing our asses off. Watching hockey or doing some other wintery sport, or sometimes just doing something inside.
The belief that Canadians will roll over for this are sadly true, unless it affects them directly it won't make too much of a difference. However, small numbers of people can make a large impact. It's getting the citizens to realize that they can make a difference and do what needs to be done.
I say that as part of that 'small' group of people that managed to get the expansion on broadcast rights for various media outlets into Canada like Fox, Euro-networks and those from the far-east.(As well as the change in CTV-Newsnets broadcast license) While I don't agree with everything broadcast on any of them, I strongly believe that people should have the option to choose whatever the hell they want, not have the government shove it down their throat. And feel free to strongly disagree with them, as well. Debating openly the merits of whatever the hell they see, while screaming over it should they wish. (Oh and I say that as an evil conservative, and member of the CPC. Get the pitchforks!)
I also believe that people should be against this, write their MP, MPP, Industry Minster and perhaps the heritage minster. I could be missing another but it's already been a long day and I'm tired.
Sounds like someone has their panties in a twist. You might forget that strict permission levels don't imply security when the person behind the keyboard is an idiot.
How common is sports addiction anyway? I've never heard of people staying up until 3am to kick a soccer ball around several times a week or pissing in a water bottle because they couldn't bear to be away from the tennis court for a couple of minutes.
Very actually. I've got a couple of guys in my police class who are avid sports fanatics, they're usually up at 4am running. They're out at lunch running, they're out of school at the end of the day running. When they're back at home, it's right to the gym and into some type of physical contact sport. They push themselves hard as well to the point where their bodies break. These guys are in great shape, their bodies are a physical wreck. The one fellow has successfully torn the tendons in his arm 8 times.
They're always pushing for a state where they're going to get a new rush from whatever.
Not forgetting we hear the same from golfers who do the same thing, and I know a few cricket players who would play in the dark. "Night" horseshoes used to be very popular in the US back about 40yrs ago as a middle class sport.
It's easy enough to say, unfortunately having seen dev. trees come and go. When someone starts saying 'go by the wayside', 'implying code base on so and so' or anything along those lines, we'll also see the same in terms of any upstream OS's based off of it.
I know where you're coming from. I simply don't trust devs not to fudge things up along the way and 'forget'.
You know those of us that will never get a SP3 for XP64 per MS "making it so". I know there are so few of us these days, but that's kind of beside the point isn't it?
Ah yes. Let us not forget N.Korea kidnapping people from Japan, or the last time they lobbed a rocket over them. Or the repeated attacks on fishing boats or anything.
Which comes back to my original point. To make reasonable decisions, means that the leadership has to exist and function that way it doesn't. And with that, maybe the next missile I lob will have a 'failure'.
The only thing stopping any country from doing anything is the inevitable retaliation.
You're forgetting that sanity has to apply to that equation as well. Tinpot dictatorships don't have any of that and are more then willing to sacrifice their people as long as the glorious leadership and it's selected people survive.
You know I'm really not sure where to run that. Except it makes me sad, 300 plus year copyrights are pathetic on the same arrangements...and most people don't even realize it.
I'm starting to think that Piratpartiet has the right idea.
I find a huge amount of sadness in this, after hearing for years and people saying: KIDS! Learn music!
While the people producing sheet music reply: Only if you pay us one hundred, million dollars...
The sad thing in that, is part of the reason why the local middle school near me killed their music program. When I went through(more then 15yrs ago) everything was photocopied in some form. Now it only seems that the highschools have a music program which is a terrible shame, and even those are on the verge of dying for the same reason.
I know of a few preforming orchestra's here in Canada that are now dead due to the ever-ever-ever increasing costs of sheet music as well.
Personally I'm going to lay this down at one of two places. Either ISP issue on their end or an issue with netflix with their peer. Doing a few quick and dirty traces w/reveres I found that everything off rogers upto llwn was fine, however on llwn I was getting a 5-8% packet loss.
Could be that some areas are seeing more, while others aren't seeing anything at all depending on how things are routed.
When you buy a new car, and you're getting an upgraded version of an engine you generally pay more, this includes the upgraded drive train to support it. When you buy the same said car, and want one that has less power then normal, the price is adjusted downward accordingly.
Hmm...makes me wonder. Does that mean XP is better then Vista?
About 7 years ago I got a 'overnight' parking ticket in another city for parking on a side street in the winter. Now mind you, this was my fault and only $18. The ticket only had the seal of the local police force, and a signature of the police officer. Nothing else, besides what the violations were and what could/couldn't be checked.
They've since changed it, they're double sided with the police seal at the top, county clerks office under that. And city hall on the back as well as a list of all the phone numbers. And the court house. Apparently there was a few issues with fraudulent tickets going around, with 'submit via mailing'.
I'm thinking of them...and I'm thinking coddling them too much is highly damaging. Kindly reminding myself to the horrors my coddled cousins got when they realized that the world wasn't a happy, safe, pretty place where they were protected from all of societies ills.
Nope this is the perfect time. Since we're in a down turn, it's the perfect time to start slapping away at innocent activities in order to protect people as fear sets in.
I dunno but if they could kill crows, I'd be in support of it as well. There's so many here that several of the 200+yr old maple trees were black from the lowest to the highest branches, and they're becoming a nuisance everywhere.

So the problem with Three Mile Island (TMI) was Too Much Information (TMI). But I didn't read the article, as that would have been TMI.
Sounds much closer to a breach of the KISS protocol.
Ah yes, I nearly forgot about the performance fees. How much bile can you taste in your throat over that one?
Unique idea, I'll pass that along.

They're attempting to push through a law to put cameras in anywhere you buy booze. Just small steps, small itty bitty steps. Sure makes me wonder when the UK is going to wake up, one time many years ago I considered it a nice place to maybe want to travel and live in.
...you're about to drive a nail between your own eyes and complete a self lobotomy.
Go away youngin, and leave us old folks to Bill the Cat.
Study history, you'll find that Spain started going through desertification until they started planting trees again.

Sadly. Those 60gb caps they have up here in Canada mean you really can't download all that much...
But, think of the children!

And Americans wonder why people think they're ignorant schmucks. You might forget this but around half your shows are made in Canada these days.
Nope this is the perfect time. Since we're in a down turn, it's the perfect time to start slapping away at innocent activities in order to protect people as fear sets in.
What's this hulu thing...oh right. Only works in the continental US...you'll have to forgive the rest of the world while it tells them to flip off.

I keep wishing they'd bring back the bounty.
