..to drum up financial support from the government to pay for the RCMP.
Canada has been putting the brakes on all gov spending and the RCMP would like more pie. This is simply fear mongering with the intent to get more funding. All police organizations do this. I doubt if any technological advance has escaped this type of concern... Running shoes included.
If it was a terrorism thing, it would probably come under CSIS's juristiction anyway.

But that doesn't make it OK to blame foreingers for all your country's problems.
The Labour force participation is dropping because baby boomers are retiring. This means that the generation younger will be paying a hefty bill for their retirement. Social Security will not withstand this problem--people do not have as many kids and the only way to "pay" for it is to have immigration. Grampa is not going to have the retirement he hopes for.
Much of Europe has the same issue. Many of those countries have declining populations. How will the old be able to have a secure retirement? They won't without immigration.
If you want to blame something for the unemployment rate, it is not sufficient to assume that every immigrant entering the US == one job lost to an American. It is simply a too simplistic view.
To blame trade agreements for lost jobs is unfair. Every time a government negotiates a trade agreement they claim that they will train people with new skills for those who have lost their jobs. They should do it. This is the right policy, but how many governments have actually followed through with the promise? Not many.
With free trade, those that have 3rd world skills will be offered 3rd world wages. Ask what your government has done to lower tuition lately?
There is a classic economic discussion about economies: "Guns and butter" Essentially, the argument is that some societies place more emphasis on the Guns than Butter (or vice versa). These are just two products, but they have symbolic value: You folks spend more than the rest of the world combined on the military. Could it be better spent? Do you really want to be an empire, knowing the costs to your own society? One stealth bomber can pay for an awful lot of teachers. North Korea has made it's choices. They blame the evil south and the evil US oppresssors--bla bla bla. They have a militaristic outlook. Their people must eat bark and roots and possibly each other. Don't walk down their shoes, alright?
To single out some arbitrary group, and then blame them for your ills, is a classic approach seen many times throughout history. It has never solved anything before, so why do they think it'll work this time? Sure it'll get one politician over another elected, but that doesn't really solve anything does it?
For those that agree with the page's ideas: Instead of thinking about how to worsen someone else's situation, at least try to think about improving your own first.
I get a lot of sshd too. Yesterday (19th Sept) it was 213.33.89.156 and 205.209.151.40---(OrgName: Managed Solutions Group, Inc. --- Ouch!!!) On the 18th it was 64.163.55.45 and 62.193.232.55. 17th, 211.10.156.25 16th, 200.143.125.194 etc. etc. They try a root, a bunch of names and I suspect default application passwords.
They seem to be cycling through IPs. There isn't much "interleave" between IPs so it looks like these boxen are part of a timed (coordinated) attack.
Using nmap, the look like RedHat boxen but nmap didn't know exactly which version. Haven't they heard of the great taste of Yum?
Jesus Christ, where do you get this idea? EVERYONE thought Iraq had WMD. We knew they had it at one point, we knew they wanted to make more of it, we just never could find proof that they didn't, and Iraq decided to go to war instead of simply proving they had gotten rid of what they had. Why would they have done that? How can you prove their stockpiles weren't sent to Syria or Iran? If they had no stockpiles of WMD, where did those shells with chemical weapons inside come from (I suppose they just made one or two of those things right?)
Well, there was the work of one Hans Blix for starters. Unlike the UN, how many human assets did the US have in Iraq before the war? Ziltch. They went off about those trailers (disproven before the war) aluminum tubes (disproven before the war). Yes, folks in the US thought everyone thought this because their government said so. The US government believed it because they were overzealous--anything would buttress their beliefs. Most outside the US questioned it of course. There are always reports of a shell here or there but so far I don't think any have been shown out to be viable. They have used these weapons previously (and one should ask where they got them) but they don't last forever-- they decompose. Finding some shell from the 80s does not constitute an active program.
If there were significant WMD assets there would have to be a convoy of trucks to a WMD storage depot in say Syria. Satelite images would be all over the news now if this was the case because they were looking...
Also, this idea of a country being in our "dog house" is absurd. You act like it is our fault these countries are oppressing their people and building WMDs to threaten surrounding countries!
I'm saying that US government is backing countries into corners and this policy is not having positive outcomes. The US may have got it's bases back in the Middle East (after leaving Saudi Arabia), but the cost was a much less stable Middle East. That defeats the purpose of the whole adventure, doesn't it?
It isn't about oppression of their citizens. That is important but it wasn't part of my argument.
BTW, one country "in our doghouse," Lybia, took a different path than the one you think is so rational, and gave up their WMD program.
Libya wanted out of the dog-house long before Sept 11, though are being championed as a success story of this administration. Fact is that the US is in the world's dog house and were looking for a success story. Any success story.
Now it looks as though Iraq may be unravelling...... -b
Yes. Further to this, the invasion of Iraq sent a strong message to other countries in the US's dog house...
Since most thought they Iraq did not have substantial stockpiles of WMD before the war (despite the claims of Bush et al) and the US attacked with a pretty good understanding that they wouldn't be requiring their chemical suits.
Alternatively, an attack against N-Korea is off the table because of their WMD programs and delivery systems, plus significant traditional weaponry which the US would have difficulty taking out before Seoul is razed.
So what is a country in the US's dog house to do now? Their rational choice is to build weapons and WMD ASAP to deter a possible US attack. Syria and Iran likely have a new urgency to their WMD programs now, but other countries are likely ramping up their programs too.
The pre-emptive war policy will have perverse results.

What about some, for example, really naughty p2p ones? Wouldn't the employer then be responsible as the owner if the idea became public? Would there not be an issue for liability then? -b
Yep. Use NAT even after you update. There are zero day Windoze exploits out there now....
Mine is a Pentium 100,/w PCI bus and 2 nics, average hard drive and IPCop. The system works nice and you should probably keep any Windoze box behind a NAT firewall all the time anyway.
IPcop is nice. DHCP service, DMZ service, easy updating, ez web based interface, straight forward install and more. Make sure your nics are all PCI for easiest install though. My load on my P100 is typically around.6 so it might be a wee bit underpowered.
We could get them to auction off portions of the "IP Right" documents in units of 1/0000ths on ebay. (Nobody else will want them I'd bet.) Penguinistas could buy them for cheap and then we could claim to eat the heart of our enemy, burn them, etc.
He implicitly understands basic economics but he just represents the producer, not the consumer. For instance, he states:
Noone can ever truly accrue any value from owning hybrid source software, because everybody (and anybody) has the rights to every line of improvement in it.
Consider the "Producer's Surplus" and the Consumer's Surplus nicely defined here: google cache: http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:tf2fN iEpLrkJ: www.sci.wsu.edu/math/Lessons/SupplyAndDemand/solut ionSetUp.html+&hl=en original: http://www.sci.ws u.edu/math/Lessons/SupplyAndDeman d/solutionSetUp.html
The shaded areas represents benefit of a market to either the consumers or the producers. Now imagine what effect that the supply curve for OSS (f(x) = 0 ) would have on the graphs -- the producer's surplus is now zero, and the consumer's surplus is the area under the whole demand curve. The net benefit is a much bigger triangle, or a very large net benefit to society as a whole.
My question to Mr. Brown would be: Given that people (and even governments) are freely willing to freely licence their creations and work under a GPL like licence, does this not benefit consumers? Furthermore, when releasing products through the GPL (in economic terms, SupplyCurve(x)=0 ) is the substantial net benefit to all of society not worth the lesser loss to IP renters? -b
Your analysis is wanting. I watch the shows I mentioned all the time (I almost never miss them), and they ask all the tough questions asked by foreign news programs and more, and yet I and many other people who watch these shows favored going to war in Iraq.
Have you watched much foreign news? I'm baffled why you'd say that.
Huh? These pictures were not circulating the Internet significantly, and there were no accusations -- except what the military itself was doing in its investigations and court-martials -- until after 60 Minutes and Seymour Hersh broke the story. You're just making stuff up.
No prior accusations of prisoner abuse eh? I think Hersh broke the story to you folks, not the rest of the world. Please see question one again. = )
I didn't watch *all* the news shows that morning. You maka stuff up!
Don't think so. The shell didn't go off likely b/c it was too old. (They don't last forever.) Left over from Iran/Iraq war? If I recall, it was a shell, right? If so, it was meant to be fired from artillary, so Al Qaeda wouldn't be making it. Mortar rounds, maybe but not shells. -b
I've watched excellent UK and excellent Canadian news. The three examples mentioned above are very good for US news, however.
In general US news is vacuous. That is a major reason why they have a penchant to go to war. They just don't ask any tough questions, until it is safe to do so. Much like penguins testing the water, they were finally showing pics of prisoner abuse after they circulated on the 'net. Not when accusations originally took place.
When they were about to go to war with Iraq, during the president's news conferences, I was wishing that they would ask about this or that but they could only come up with the most fawning questions.
This morning I wached Chris Matthew's show guest starring that dead beat Chalabi, and how he was now in the US's dog house. Nobody asks whether his dumping is merely to fulfill the role of the administration's scape goat for the "faulty intelligence" that they supposedly received. After all these years of grooming that loser they chuck up a couple unprovable accusations against him and then dump him years too late. Chris Matthews fell for it all. Accusing him of false intel, etc. Sure, but it was known yonks ago. Why are they dumping him now??
The US press must live in fear of something, or just be very lazy. But then people like McD's here so they might as well eat Fox too.

It's always cold in Canada. Don't worry 'bout it.

What about some, for example, really naughty p2p ones?
Wouldn't the employer then be responsible as the owner if the idea became public?
Would there not be an issue for liability then?

Have you tried to product replacement plan?
(I just can't resist stuff like that. Sorry!)
=)
I'd like to see it too. I've got an extra box lying around.
Wonder who/what org made it?

Yep. Use NAT even after you update. There are zero day Windoze exploits out there now....
/w PCI bus and 2 nics, average hard drive and IPCop. The system works nice and you should probably keep any Windoze box behind a NAT firewall all the time anyway.

.6 so it might be a wee bit underpowered.
Mine is a Pentium 100,

IPcop is nice. DHCP service, DMZ service, easy updating, ez web based interface, straight forward install and more. Make sure your nics are all PCI for easiest install though. My load on my P100 is typically around

Put them under your keyboard you crazy fool!
We could get them to auction off portions of the "IP Right" documents in units of 1/0000ths on ebay. (Nobody else will want them I'd bet.) Penguinistas could buy them for cheap and then we could claim to eat the heart of our enemy, burn them, etc.
Or would IBM swoop in???

For instance, he states:
Consider the "Producer's Surplus" and the Consumer's Surplus nicely defined here:
google cache:

original:
http://www.sci.w
The shaded areas represents benefit of a market to either the consumers or the producers. Now imagine what effect that the supply curve for OSS (f(x) = 0 ) would have on the graphs -- the producer's surplus is now zero, and the consumer's surplus is the area under the whole demand curve. The net benefit is a much bigger triangle, or a very large net benefit to society as a whole.
My question to Mr. Brown would be: Given that people (and even governments) are freely willing to freely licence their creations and work under a GPL like licence, does this not benefit consumers? Furthermore, when releasing products through the GPL (in economic terms, SupplyCurve(x)=0 ) is the substantial net benefit to all of society not worth the lesser loss to IP renters?

Your analysis is wanting. I watch the shows I mentioned all the time (I almost never miss them), and they ask all the tough questions asked by foreign news programs and more, and yet I and many other people who watch these shows favored going to war in Iraq.
Have you watched much foreign news? I'm baffled why you'd say that.
Huh? These pictures were not circulating the Internet significantly, and there were no accusations -- except what the military itself was doing in its investigations and court-martials -- until after 60 Minutes and Seymour Hersh broke the story. You're just making stuff up.
No prior accusations of prisoner abuse eh? I think Hersh broke the story to you folks, not the rest of the world. Please see question one again. = )
I didn't watch *all* the news shows that morning. You maka stuff up!

Don't think so. The shell didn't go off likely b/c it was too old. (They don't last forever.) Left over from Iran/Iraq war? If I recall, it was a shell, right? If so, it was meant to be fired from artillary, so Al Qaeda wouldn't be making it. Mortar rounds, maybe but not shells.

Mod the parent posting up... The coward is right.
I've watched excellent UK and excellent Canadian news. The three examples mentioned above are very good for US news, however.
In general US news is vacuous. That is a major reason why they have a penchant to go to war. They just don't ask any tough questions, until it is safe to do so. Much like penguins testing the water, they were finally showing pics of prisoner abuse after they circulated on the 'net. Not when accusations originally took place.
When they were about to go to war with Iraq, during the president's news conferences, I was wishing that they would ask about this or that but they could only come up with the most fawning questions.
This morning I wached Chris Matthew's show guest starring that dead beat Chalabi, and how he was now in the US's dog house. Nobody asks whether his dumping is merely to fulfill the role of the administration's scape goat for the "faulty intelligence" that they supposedly received. After all these years of grooming that loser they chuck up a couple unprovable accusations against him and then dump him years too late. Chris Matthews fell for it all. Accusing him of false intel, etc. Sure, but it was known yonks ago. Why are they dumping him now??
The US press must live in fear of something, or just be very lazy. But then people like McD's here so they might as well eat Fox too.

PS: I'm a news junkie that has lived in all three countries. I usually say to people that to learn about your own country--read foreign press.
I think you're right!

Anyone know how one can get hooked up down here?
