I'd say that if you really wanted to have a party, refiting an oil tanker would be best if you want big (just not as cool). (If anyone wants stats on modern carriers or oil tankers, google'em yourself.)
Any ruling by an American court using the DMCA would be mainly a moot point. The only thing in reach of US courts is the Network Solutions domain registration. PirateDen should get a.ca domain or shift to a Canadian registrar.
As for shutting down the site, their ISP is NISA, under Telus. Any action on that would have to be via Canadian courts or proving an AUP violation.
You obviously have no understanding of the laws of Canada, nor its current relationship with Great Britain (not England). I'd correct your mistakes, but why bother?
They should have gotten a.ca domain or at least used a Canadian registrar. Network Solutions could be pressured in an American court to transfer the domain.
I wonder if there is a niche for packaging a Waste distro with easy install/maintainance tools, and providing support? (Dressed up especially for the corpo environment.) Not exactly another Red Hat, but who knows?
All joking aside for a moment, I'd just like to say that I do admire and respect the people who do put on such gear to perform their duties.
My sense tends towards the practical, and my humour, a bit dark. My immediate reaction was "They're wearing 40 lbs of sealed armour, they're facing something that may explode in their face, and they've got to be cautious and patient with it, but time is of the essence" My joke about Depends was relevant, I'd be facing a brown-trowsers event if was me.
A stalute to them, and I hope the makers of such suits do think a cooling breeze for those tight moments.
Every time someone wants to get a news-op, they drag out how much it costs for something that you could buy at the local hardware store for much less.
Guess what? Your local hardware stores probably aren't ISO-900x compliant. Their suppliers probably aren't. If some unauthorized cheap toilet seat pinches a general's butt, no one will be able to track back the supply and manufacturing trail to 2002/03/01, the 3rd shift, line 2 of PlastiButtCo, employee Al Kali.
The price is expensive, but that's $5 for the toilet seat, $5,000+ for the time and paperwork. (Not that soft, triple-ply padding doesn't happen from time to time.) It's stupid, butt^h that's the system.
Better keep a watch on dem $cientologists den. They claim to be able to build sandbag walls for flood fighting. Hey, they wouldn't lie to people would they? (Other than that Red Cross claim.)
Those on display included MATILDA, built by Mesa Associates, which uses a robotic arm to investigate and detonate suspected bombs and packages.
Couldn't they just mod an AIBO to do that job? Especially for the Bunker Buster job: Strap some C4 to it, "Woof! Woof! Time to die.. BOOM!" (Okay, I'm joking about the AIBO, but haven't we seen oodles of home robot Slashdot articles in the last couple of months that could probably do the job for less, and be controlled by a cell phone?)
One thing they probably didn't add is air-conditioning. 40 lbs of sealed suit and other stuff as well? That's not "RoBoCop", that's "OverclockedCop" -- they need a case-mod.
Even better! ($)COX from their stock symbol. ($) describes their financial situation, the rest describes their attitude.
Too bad that it's not really possible to change open code so that it's borken under SCO Unix. If they want to jack the open source community, it'd be nice to return the favour and exile them to their own little world. (Not that the planet they're on right now is very large.) Still, a FAQ of what borks under SCO Unix could be useful. (Didn't RMS withold new releases of EMACS at MIT over some snit-fit?)
Slashdot Mirror
"Alien Inside"?
He was a spammer, probably still is, only now keeps his company name better hidden.
It looks like SearchKing used to spam. Are you sure you want to try that here? (Of course, this is trusting a DejaGoogle search... :^)
Sure, but not SDF-1, Macross "whole town" big like the parent post suggested. It'd be tight for a crew of Zentraedi. :^)

Neal Stephenson was lucky that $cientology didn't sue him for violating their IP.
I can't find that on my Middle Earth map.
Ah well, it makes my final shift away from Windows all that much easier.

Goofed that up. The missing word is conventions. But the ? link does look mysterious. :^)
Don't mystery murder fans have ?

Keep in mind that there is no DMCA "circumvention device" provision in force in Canada.
It would be a shame if the excellent legit uses of this type of product get caught in the legal crossfire, but it could happen (again). *bleh*

I wonder if they had any plans to allow clustering of trusted Waste networks? Then the fat would truely be in the fire.

Kevlar Depends for when something goes BANG in a big way?
