I got my first passport a couple of weeks ago (three days after filing on basic (amazing)), and I'm really glad I don't have to file for this beast of a passport in the future. I sincerely hope this gets out and people will get pissed, I barely missed this article because it was neatly tucked away in YRO.
In respects to this project, I wish it would fail. A digital copy has me extremely worried. Best thing we can do is get other people onside to block this crapola.
So then I shouldn't mention the Communist parties (Marxist and the Lenonists), and le Bloc Quebecois...
Le Bloc is an interseting party, they're a national party who's single mandate is the seperate quebec from Canada, and they only run in Quebec, but they enjoyed Official Opposition for two terms once.
And then there's the Rhino party, which sadly is not running candidates this election. Their mandate? To turn the house of commons into a party. Seriously, they elected around 10 MPs.
I followed this case quite closely. Despite our highest court ruling in favour of Monsanto, all it would take is this to become an issue in our upcoming federal election (will be called this Sunday), and our patent law will be changed. Once the law is changed, the Monsanto case's precedent will be tossed aside, and we will get back on the right track.
Our (Canada's) patent law is quite out of date, it does not address the issues regarding patenting of genome, plants, organisms, and other living matter. Once it is brought up to date (not when, it would be political suicide for all parties not to protect farmers like Schmeiser), we will get things right.
All parties which are running in every riding have to deal with this the correct way.
- The new Conservative Party of Canada will stand to loose grassroots support if they do not protect the rights of farmers to save seed. Although I wouldn't vote for them because they have yet to release their platform... shuuush... they don't want people to know that yet.
- The Liberal Party of Canada will stand to loose support in Ontario where Schmeiser was situated, although it is slipping because the provincial government did a 180 in the first budget.
- The NDP hates GE food, says there is no viable market for the stuff, it should be labelled, etc etc. They would definitely protect the rights of the farmer to save the seed.
- And the Green Party. This is a given, they don't like GE foods, they don't like GE anything, because it destroys biodiversity.
This is just a temporary setback. The justices here did not fully comprehend the severity of their decision, but they were forced to work within the framework of the laws given to them by Parliament in 1985. Things have changed, and this act of Parliament will be apart of our next election, and will be dealt with the next government.
And here's some common sense: while you can deduce intent from physical evidence and documented actions, it's the evidence and actions of the suspect that make the crime, not the idea. What your rule demands is that we prosecute thought crimes, and only thought crimes.
Once can produce intent by going on past activities, and personality disections. Also, one could simply view the urls requested in order, and see which site set off the chain. If we can not prove beyond a reasonable doubt this guy wacks off to kiddie porn, and is a threat to children everywhere, should he be in the registry?
Once again absolute rules screws common sense. If there is no intent, there should be no crime. The man probably didn't want to open up the string of popups, therefor is not responsible for this.
According to Xine's website there is a Mozilla plugin in the works that provides embedded stream playback. Until then, if you install gxine it comes with a Mozilla plugin that all you need to do 'ln -s' it into your ~/.mozilla/plugins... this will launch gxine and start playing with a nicer interface.
God man, take a JOKE! This was funny and very enjoyable... I pulled quite afew Pranks today, none of which effected 1 million readers... but what the hey... CmdTaco! I salute you!

Yes, but you don't have gun manufacturers suing criminals for misusing their product.
You have got to be kidding? I apologize on a weekly basis on behalf of Canada for allowing Celine Dion to wreak havoc on the world.
Maybe we should try this with our political leaders...
