I figured that next to the linked word 'equivalent' it would show tvo.org, and that you would get the idea. Yes - I thought of the same question myself, and assumed you would understand.
In regards to the link not working for the torrent:
If you've never seen this film, The Corporation is a documentary covering the history of how corporations came to exist and their roles in society today.
This film begins by conducting a psychological prognosis of a corporation, where they find it's condition is of a psychopath.
Just some of my own experiences, in regards to restricting children's use of the computer.
I got my first 'real' computer when I was 13 years old..... what perfect timing.:-)
No computer.
Saved money for 2 years to purchase my first computer.
If computer, no net connection.
I traded porn and warez via floppy disks with friends of mine who had BBS connections. I saved up and bought a modem a few months later.
If computer and net connection, then computer is in parent's bedroom, locked.
My parents tried that one on me. They left me alone in the house, and I learned to pick locks from a PHRACK like howto I downloaded off the net before they put it in their room.
If computer and net connection and computer in living area, password-protected access.
This yields to an ugly battle of wits and technological superiority. I learned to get around the BIOS password within a day. Just called up the company that built the computer.
If computer and net connection and computer in living area and no password, check under the bed and look for the loaded pistol.
My parents gave up by this point and just let me take the computer into my room w/ my net connection.:-)
If parents are stupid and/or ignorant, the children will suffer.
I hardly suffered, I learned a lot out of my parent's ignorance of technology. I can only thank them for providing so many barriers to defeat.:P
"As unlikely as this might seem to the skeptic, the National Security Agency (NSA), that coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to protect U.S. information systems and produce foreign intelligence information, made the folly of developing GPL-licensed code to improve the Linux operating system. After reading the terms of the Linux GPL, the NSA realized they needed to post this enhancement to the Internet in source code form for the world to see. Unbelievably, any person with a PC and an Internet connection can now logon to the NSA?s website and print out the blueprint for NSA s Security Enhanced Linux software."
This is just wrong. NSA had no requirement to distribute the source since they were using it all in house. But since the people who work at these places are on the mission of creating disinformation, they obviously would ignore this:
NSA initiatives in enhancing software security cover both proprietary and open source software, and we have successfully used both proprietary and open source models in our research activities. NSA's work to enhance the security of software is motivated by one simple consideration: Use our resources as efficiently as possible to give NSA's customers the best possible security options in the most widely employed products. The objective of the NSA research program is to develop technologic advances that can be shared with the software development community through a variety of transfer mechanisms. NSA does not favor or promote any specific software product or business model. Rather, NSA is promoting enhanced security."
It seems to me that NSA's intentions and reasons can be inferred from that above statement quite easily. But if these think tanks are being used solely for propaganda then I'm not all that surprised.
There's several cases where software failure has been fatal.
How about the case of the THERAC-25, where several died or were seriously injured.
This is a typical case study shown in any ethics course involving software design. It turns out the cause of the severe radiation burns was from the operator entering commands and parameters faster than the unit could handle.
Then there's the Soviet pipeline that blew up due to delibrately buggy software stolen from the US.
Then there's the Osprey , had software bugs that killed 30 Marines in 3 accidents.
There's also 2 commercial jet crashes due to software problems with either radar, or just reporting position properly to the pilot, killing over 300 people in the 2 accidents.
This problem is very real. So when people joke about getting a BSOD while driving a car, it's highly plausable.
If you've ever worked technical support for a consumer electronics manufacturer, you would realise that the person on the phone is required to follow certain guidelines in troubleshooting.
When I worked tech support I attempted to reduce the required number of steps by removing redundant troubleshooting. Upon hearing that the customer is relatively competent in what they're doing I would skip the bullshit. I always sat at the borderline of getting fired for just not following policy. It was fun knowing that within 1 year the job would not matter.:-)
Even if I tried to follow the guidelines I would change simple questions like: "Do you have it plugged in?" to a "I assume you have it plugged in...." with the customer, when realizing their dumbassedness would reply "Well whatcha' know... I did forget to plug it in!".
It makes them happy when they figure things out on their own without telling them to do anything.:-)
To make things clear, management came down on me even over happy customers. Customers who even had written letters of appreciation!:-) I didn't give them anything for free, I did't give out 'confidential' information, I just skipped 'Basic' troubleshooting steps.
It's pretty straight forward when it comes down to fighting this kind of bullshit....
Step 1) If there any kids in your family which you have a good relationship with, show them how to download good warez off the internet. (Suprnova.org - thank you for making life so easy)
Step 2) Tell them that those who have a direct interest in making money off this stuff will pay people to come to your school and tell you it's wrong.
Step 3) Show them how to burn warez to CD's and distribute to friends on a regular basis, they'll all thank you for being so nice.:-)
Step 4) Students no longer give a shit what was said in the class room and will happily use their downloaded mp3s/games/movies.
Simple as that - it worked for me. My 12-year old brother, and 17-year old sister have been doing this for some time already.....:-) They're slowly moving over to linux, but that'll only truly happen when all the games work under linux and are easier to get running.
Umm.... My 91 Honda Accord is at 411,000+ KM (255 383.56 miles) right now and is working great. It needed some work (engine tune up... ) but if you do the regular oil changes and keep the engine tuned it will be fine and run efficiently.
Again - maintenance always helps and usually solves most of these problems. Sure I have a rust spot here or there, but that's what I get for not keeping my car cleaned better throughout the winter highway salt madness.....
(BTW: I've had nothing but bad luck with North American vehicles... why would I ever want another one?)
Well - in regards to atheists being argumentative, that's not all that surprising. But in regards to "frightful outrage" towards people with different views, I disagree. I have no problem if you wish to be Christian/Muslim/Hindu/Buddhist/Jewish/etc, and I personally am not the type to align myself with those that perceive people of religion as being weak minded. So your broad sweeping generalizations are absolutely unfounded.
If you would like, I could bring up numerous factual examples of those who practice Christianity reacting in "frightful outrage" towards those who have different beliefs. To my understanding, many atheists have become atheist due to religious institutions giving moral backing to very dreadful and brutal acts.
I could go on, but that's not fair to those who do not fit into this generalization. I suspect this is why you are moderated "0, Insightful".
That's right guys, we are now going to be condemned that our TV viewing habits have gone to downloading that "evil" pornography!!
I just saw a couple days ago some female televangelist condemning the internet and all the porn. Of course, I came across this while eating breakfast and looking for the news before i left for class. I laughed for a good ten minutes and watched her make statements about even some audience members viewing EVIL pornography.
The traditional media realizes they have a strangle hold on the over 34 market, and will attempt to use this angle of attack on us.
They've started with the 'studies' and try to find any example they can think of so that videogames are responsible for violence. This is the same old bullshit when rock music gained popularity. All this crap reminds me of an old friend's mom who told us playing Dungeons & Dragons will cause us to commit suicide and hand our souls over to the devil.
But we know this isn't the truth. I'm beginning to think that even Howard Stern is beginning to pick up on this shit for once.
Now quit surfing that TRASH and go watch some wholesome programming.
Yes - we should fear the AC - we should fear those who post anonymously. Oh please, not everyone agrees with absolutely every single comment on this site.

Umm currently I don't. Your best bet is to just search Suprnova.org for working torrents.
Sorry, the URL is somewhat broken, I forgot about the space in the URL. Here's a working link:
The Corporation
My apologies.

I figured that next to the linked word 'equivalent' it would show tvo.org, and that you would get the idea. Yes - I thought of the same question myself, and assumed you would understand.

Enjoy.
If you've never seen this film, The Corporation is a documentary covering the history of how corporations came to exist and their roles in society today.
This film begins by conducting a psychological prognosis of a corporation, where they find it's condition is of a psychopath.
It was shown on the Canadian equivalent of PBS.
So here's oddly enough a bittorrent download of the 3 part series.
http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/1983/The Corporation(3).torrent
If anyone is asking for more proof, I think this film will provide it for them. Otherwise, I still found watching this film to be very informative.
I've never been charged a fee to deposit money.
I assume it depends what bank you're with.
Just some of my own experiences, in regards to restricting children's use of the computer.

From http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/info/faq.cfm:

Even in Canada this is true.
Sorry to shatter anyones belief that Canada doesn't have such a requirement.
I understand that clearly. I was just pointing to examples of software failure resulting in death.
:-)

The idea is to make you pay for not having to revinvent the wheel everytime.
There's some pretty complex wheels out there.
