1. Check the "Khan Exception", it was a precident set during a sexual assualt case calling the witness to the stand would be too traumatic for the witness so they admit testimony from a 3rd party on behalf of the witness, ie hearsay.
2. Check "R. v. Silveira", "R. v. Wiley" and "R v. Plant". Also it doesn't appear they need one if there is an emergency, the case involves drugs oddly enough though they require one for explosives (per the Explosives Act).
My personal take on the situtaion is laws can be turned around in EITHER country, Canada just appears to be in some political pissing match. Probably because the Frenchies in charge of the country don't like GW Bush.
"...Thankfully, privacy still means something up here."
Sure the Canadians may have slightly more privacy, but they still have other bad things that we luckily don't have down here in the states.
1. Hearsay evidence is admissable in a CRIMINAL trial (in the states hearsay is only admissible in a civil trial).
2. Evidence gathered without a search warrent or even probable case is addmissble in a CRIMINAL trial (in the states this is a big no no, it is tossed out period).
I mean at that energy level it wouldn't penetrate the sticker itself, not that a high energy electron would really do anything to the battery anyway and who the hell wants a strong radioactive source in their pants pocket anyway;)
Evidently the BatMax product emmits electrons in some fashion, possibly a radioactive special ingrediant?:
Quoted from the BatMax article: "The wavelength of the electron released from BatMax is around 3-40 microns, and is considered to be within almost the same range with the oscillation frequency of molecules inside the battery. These molecules are able to raise their oscillation energy and electricity generation by receiving electron wavelength from BatMax. "
How you calculate the wavelength of an electron:
wavelength = planck contasnt / energy
So WTF you ask? Basically it is just a whole lot of snake oil by the manufacter, this product is no better then those sticker EMF shields (at least in my less then expert opinion;)
WTF? This is BatMAX product is right up there with those sticker EMF blockers. Slashdot mods who posted this need to have their heads examined. Putting a sticker on a battery will do nothing more then maybe trap a little more heat in the battery and shorten its life.
I remember talking to an older engineer back in 2001 (when tech was crumbling and people were losing jobs) at the giant tech company I was working at. His advice was that these cycles are normal (I think he said he had been through 3 or 4? like the most recent, he was pushing 60) and if you want to remain in the tech industry you need to get used to basically relearning and retooling and regular layoffs. So unless you want to learn a new skill or language every 5 years or don't like dealing with industry ebb and flow then maybe you should look at going back and getting and MBA, there is always room for more managment;)
Is it me or does Gates seem to be very out of touch with what is going on in the real world and mostly seems to be getting his current information from his "Human Search Engines". Not to mention the fact he is constantly doing little more then plugging Micro$oft products.
Just remember: If you don't buy from Micro$oft you are a Communist!
Where the the Montely Fool come off saying this will change the way we drink coffee and look out Starbucks? Warmed up coffee in a can? I think that is actually a level below vending machine coffee and vending machine coffee sure didn't change the way we drink coffee. It certainly is a novel idea, but 10 onces of coffee warmed in a can for a couple bucks. Sorry, only be drinking that when it is really ass cold outside and there isn't a vending machine nearby.
This really isn't new, it has been done at the store level forever. When I worked retail many years ago we would finger people who returned stuff excessively and deny them any further returns. So the only really new thing is the fact that it is automated, though I am sure the managers of a store have some level of override for this (THEY ALWAYS DO).
And remember if you don't like it, DON'T shop there. Voting with your dollar is the best way to tell a retailer you don't like something. So don't shop there and pen a letter to their corporate office telling them so. Don't yell at the local people, they have no control, don't email it is meaningless. Simply don't shop there and WRITE a snailmail letter to their corporate office.
Huh? The question isn't about salesman or goods or hiring, the guy is asking whether he should pull some stunt when he quits his job. Whatever you want to call normal civil behavior in the workplace (I call it being professional), burning bridges isn't a good idea, if you like to remain employeed.
Of course ignore this advice and act however you want at work, burn bridges until your hearts content. This is a free country after all.
The world is a lot smaller then you think and eventually whatever you do at this job will come back to haunt you. So unless you are independently wealthy and work for fun I would advise you to be professional and just turn in your notice and leave it at that. Making an ass out of yourself by doing something funny will only be a detriment later.
Hmmmm, this whole registar to vote thing seems stronger then ever. Seems like the libreals are depending on people who generally don't vote to turn the tide.
According to Microsoft, this limitation 'helps [users] stay organized and reduces confusion
That reminds me of a Logitech wireless mouse I just bought. The outside of the package said in bold letters "Power Saving On/Off Switch". Seems Microsoft marketing is doing the same thing.
Cause we could go ahead and program ourselves a couple new minivans this evening;) (yes I know Wally from Dilbert said it before I did, but this just seemed like the perfect time to use it)

Last time I checked "Computer Enthusiasts" didn't need a Tivo to capture TV shows and share them. Not to mention the fact that time-shifting is legal. What is next, garrote survivors suing companies that make wire?
If I were a purchasing executive, and had just blown a large amount of money on an SL8500, I'd seriously reconsider buying from StorageTek in the future if they were going to lock me in to their own service plans with such an ability to set prices without any competition.
Odd, EMC has been locking people into service contracts and putting the screws to them for decades;)
I don't think people are reading more on the Internet rather then paper books. I think people are simply reading less and watching more TV and playing video games. Take for instance pen and paper RPG's, those are pretty much things of the past, people play magic or Playstation now. No one uses their imagination. Sort of sad, oh well.

I am not sure if a single quarter in 2003 really counts as the company being profitable.
32 items a second is all good and well but when will they actually have a posistive cash flow?

The page quotes the cattery cost alone at $3000, so I am confused why the posting states it was built for around $600?

They didn't even have Kim Jong-il's hamburger recipe, I am pretty disappointed.

I could have sworn I remember seeing this or at least something damn near the same, and I did, 3 years ago. It was invented in Georgia.
I just got x2 250gig drives and mirrored them.
