I realize you're joking, but I'm pretty sure if ancient vikings (and other smiths throughout the world) had access to propane forges, mass produced steel (not iron they had to smelt and then add carbon to make into steel themselves) and power hammers - they would have used them. As it was, they had apprentices to wield heavy sledges to do much of the drawing out.
It's the end result that matters most.
Now, if he was at a Viking times re-enactment camp for tourists, then sure... hand hammer away! Having done some hours at the forge myself, I can tell you when you switch from a 3 lb hand hammer to a power hammer, it's amazingly relieving and time-saving.
In keeping with our Common Sense, bringing 5000 cases to court against an individual would be pretty obvious to the court, and time consuming for the company suing. I'm guessing our Judges would not like to see that, considering how congested our courts are already. Not to mention circumventing the spirit of the law in this case. And the 5000 dollar sum is on the outside of the award - considering the guidelines for judges and the government FAQ on the matter (range from 100-5000 dollars) it is unlikely that 5k will be the norm. Would it be worth it to the company suing?
Oh, my sweet summer child! What do you know about fear? Fear is for the winter, when the snows fall a hundred feet deep; fear is for the Long Night, when the sun hides for years and children are born and live and die all in darkness...
Winter is coming.

Oh, that's okay... I'll just play single---...Oh right...:(
I'll probably do what I did with Skyrim. Buy a legit copy and never open it... and download the pirate version that allows me to not have to be online to play it.
I am only interested in the single player experience. I was on dial-up through 95% of my time during Diablo 1 and 2, and I have never had the urge to play online with people in those games. The few times I tried was ridiculous... people had crazy obviously illegitimate equipment who constantly offered to give me a "dupe" of their cool shit. Meh...
So I played single player with "Players X 8" enabled to have a good time.
I'll give it a few days and then get the pirate version that has the stupid DRM stripped from it like Skyrim (and Steam requirements). Maybe it'll be available a day early on the torrent sites like Skyrim was!:)
Of course... not much will happen. The link below from an article about a Waterloo phone call problem, which also mentions the Guelph robocall problems listed in TFA above.
"Under the Elections Act, an election in a specific riding can be overturned if a "competent court" finds "there were irregularities, fraud or corrupt or illegal practices that affected the result of the election."
However any application to the court to contest the election must be made within 30 days of the election results being published in the Canada Gazette. A complaint can also be made the same day the applicant "knew or should have known of the occurrence of the alleged irregularity, fraud, corrupt practice or illegal practice."
Moreover, the Commissioner of Canada Elections would have to investigate and refer the matter to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, which would in turn decide whether charges were warranted. All of which means it is premature even to suggest any election results could conceivably be overturned."
Exactly.
I purchased two copies of Skyrim on November 11, 2011. One for the PC, and one for the PS3 (For the kids) - Bethsoft got my 130 bucks to add to their 600+ million in sales.
I still have the PC copy in it's package in my desk drawer... and have been playing the non-Steam version of Skyrim since NOVEMBER 10th.
I had been planning on purchasing Skyrim since announcement and I did this only to avoid the mandatory Steam installation. To date, I have never played any games on Steam - the requirement of any third-party program to "allow" me to play what I purchase will only encourage this behaviour in the future as well. I have also managed to avoid the buggy patch issues that plague so many as well. I will patch my game when there is a good, stable, non-game-breaking patch available.:)
Yes, I know the arguments for and against Steam (or other "services" like it)... I have made my choice.
Cheers!

If they both erupt the "is man effecting climate" argument would become soot.
