  1. Canadian IP firm on Finding an Intellectual Property Patent Lawyer? · · Score: 2

    I've heard that the best in Canada is Smart and Biggar. I'm not joking about the name either! An organization I'm familiar with hired them, and another large organization that was about to sue them just scampered off with their tail between their legs... from what I've heard.

    Good luck!

  2. My Favourite Techie's Birthday on October 5: National Techies Day · · Score: 1
    Yep, it's my favourite techie's birthday today. What a nice surprise! I will have to send him an e-greeting...

    Rob never needs to look at who posts anonymously, but he can if a problem arrises.

    Yes, but wouldn't it be better if he had no way of knowing who posted something libellous or whatever? That was he can't be subpoenaed or in anyway responsible, which I'd say is better.

  4. Damn straight... on Voices From The Hellmouth · · Score: 1
    This system evolved to serve a purpose; by ruthlessly punishing difference, rewarding conformity and reinforcing an immutable status quo, it creates the preconditions of a modern industrial society; a population of predictable, conditioned worker/consumer drones, people who accept their place in the great machine of society and don't make trouble. The relatively small number of murders and suicides is well within the margin of acceptable loss.

    I think there is an interesting point to be gleaned from acb's statement above. Highschool prepared/s us for the modern industrial society - which is the source of our public schools system. Highschools, last time I checked, is doing a mediocre to terrible job of preparing us for the information economy (sorry about the overused cliche, but it need to be there).

    Highschool sucked, in university it got better. The 'real world' (as much as I'm in it) got even better.
