  5. Re:Enough...please on US Expands Fingerprint and Mugshot Program for Visitors · · Score: 1

    So adulterous, nimble-minded (nucular?) liars (WMD?) are the way to go? Our last PM spent a few hundred million to keep our country unified (51 against, 49 for)...tax dollars (sort of) well spent, IMHO. Don't be so quick to point fingers pal.

  6. You'd be surprised... on US Expands Fingerprint and Mugshot Program for Visitors · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. My buddy and I jumped in a canoe one day, and decided to paddle over to the US. (we were bored). 20 minutes later, we were being questioned by the US Coast Guard. They saw were were only kids (17) and mentioned that we shouldn't do this. They let us go, but they were checking that we weren't smuggling booze/smokes/drugs.

    The Canada/US border is vast, but people *are* watching. Chances are, it has been determined that you're harmless.

    I have mod points, but I can't seem to find '-1 Sucker'...

  10. From the Judge: on Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case · · Score: 4, Insightful
    From The Toronto Star: "No evidence was presented that the alleged infringers either distributed or authorized the reproduction of sound recordings," von Finckenstein wrote in his 28-page ruling. "They merely placed personal copies into their shared directories which were accessible by other computer users via a P2P service."

    He compared the action to a photocopy machine in a library. "I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service," he said.

    Besides, the IP changes, and the ISPs *don't* have to divulge who had the IP at any given time. Kind of hard to sue in that case...

    So much for modding this thread.

  20. Re:Also 10 years ago today... on Linus on Linux in 1994 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you have to give credit where credit is due - he didn't sell DOS to IBM. That helped make him a billionaire.

  21. Re:stills vs. motion... on ExtremeTech Wages War of the Codecs · · Score: 1

    Try BMW Films. I recommend the movie from Season 1 'Star'. Madonna, Clive Owen - directed by Guy Richie. These are all in Quicktime format. And they're really good shorts.

    "The contract that we signed with SCO specifically prohibits any party from discussing the economics of the transaction. If you have an agreement that calls for certain aspects to be protected, then you would hope that that would be respected."

    Sue the litigious bastards. They'd sue you.
