Most of us think that they're a bunch of nutjobs, but unfortunately, because of the fucked up way our electoral system is set up, and the appallingly low voter turnout, .
Well, that's because someone's been tampering with the system. That someone should, ideally, be preserved and hanged from Parliament Hill as an example to others.
I am not picky about the order in which those are done nor the methods used.
2 years. That's enough time to get the cash from a top-40 hit, have any game be relegated to a "classic" / "greatest hits", and get a movie released onto DVD.
After that, it's all public domain.
You would still require judicial oversight and a warrant.
It guarantees privacy among other things. Having your ISP record everything you do without a warrant is simply not constitutional and wouldn't get past the SCC.
The other problem, and this is where they'll fuck it up, is that the loser pays court costs. It's not like in the US where the threat of a lawsuit means you're out tens of thousands to defend against the frivolous. If they were to try and sue someone, that person could easily have the "evidence" suppressed because the search isn't lawful.
Canadian case law would also make it more likely to be thrown out if you were using encryption, since you're locking stuff up so people don't take it.
Bear in mind all I know about law is my lawyer's phone number.
That's not true. They're day old FROZEN donuts made in a huge factory in Ontario.
That's why I get my donuts at a local bakery. A dozen and a half fresh-baked donuts for $5.25. (I get them from the OEM supplier for most of the cafes in town.)
If the Liberals or NDP are behind the robocalls and election tampering, a judicial inquiry would destroy those two leaderless parties.
For some reason, the most politically astute opportunist in Canadian history (Harper) is choosing not to call for an inquiry and letting the opponent he's sworn to destroy at any cost (The LPC) recuperate.
Well, I'm an electrical engineer, so my paycheques would stop. On the upside, so would the cheques of the people who would be coming to collect the payments...
I've got an eight-year-old girl. Every day I tell her that she's smart and strong and brave and beautiful, and that I love her, and that I'm proud of her. We've told her how they use computers to make models look different than in real life. (The Fotoshop by Adobé ad is great)
Yet for all the work we do to tell her how incredible and awesome she is, there's a constant barrage of ads screaming that she's ugly and dumb and girls are wimpy.
I love trying to find out OD or bend radius on a cable that someone's deemed ITAR. Look guys, if someone is on your war machine ripping out the cables to try and figure out what you're doing, then you have bigger problems to worry about.
I spent a year waiting for the kernel dev team to realize that Elan touchpads weren't on their list of magic knock responses. A year with the touchpad acting like a PS/2 mouse -- every slight tap was a click, no typing / palm detection, no scrolling. There were a lot of other bugs, but those were mostly driver bugs.
(Still better than Win7)
And thank you, person responding, to say that I should have spend $500 more to get a Linux-powered laptop. I appreciate that.
In the meantime in addition to looking to generate new resources for energy, for God's sake, start giving out leases for oil in the Gulf again....let the fscking pipeline from Canada go through...start drilling for more oil that is being discovered domestically in the US.
No, thank you, we don't want to just hand over all our oil to China.
That's where it's all going to go. Not to the US, but to China. And the environmental problems are simply too great. We have a fragile stark wilderness up here that we don't want ruined for all time because your entire country is too lazy to bike, bus, or walk to work.
The company that wants the pipeline has a terrible record for spills. Transport Canada has said that supertankers are just fine off the coast.
We aren't going to sit back and idly let multinational companies rape the last vestiges of wilderness on the planet.
Oh shit, no, you just hit it right on the head -- this is PERFECT for children.
Throw a Qimo port onto the SD card and now you've got a stand-alone school-friendly PC that plugs into any TV. See, I've been trying to get Qimo into my kids' school but the IT folks don't like the idea of booting from USB. (Long story and their perogative.) If, on the other hand, I get a RPi and a little case from the local electronics shop, it's not a "computer" per se, it's a little educational TV box.
The problem is I like to be helpful, so I'll answer questions if I can. Last couple of times I went shopping I was offered a job! I mean, seriously, can't a guy just go about his day without people begging him to take a job?
I have also thought about moving from "helpful" to "grand theft" but then I realize that I could just buy the stuff for a lot cheaper than whatever my lawyer would charge.

That's up for debate.

Good point, and one I missed, was MODERN warships. They probably learned the lesson from the Titanic.
Warships seal the compartments all the way to the top. Even the cable penetrations are watertight.
It's expensive, so I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that's the reason they don't do it.
Yep, this is the smartest option and the one your IT department will like the best.
Okay.

If you really have CDO, you spell it CDO.
What I loooove is ITAR cables.

I quite like Unity, I was using it since it was on the "netbook remix".
See, the OS isn't a program, and that's what people keep forgetting. It's just a tool for running your applications.
Yep, the only way to get my machine working after trying to install Xubuntu over Ubuntu was a rebuild.

We're both on /.
I wouldn't really say we're getting a lot of WORK done.
Yeah, the rich technologist Bill Gates who has blown his billions on malaria research, HIV/AIDS research, composting toilet technology, etc.
What an asshole.
Come to think of it, Windows machines might be used for piracy. Maybe they should be investigating some folks in Richmond...
It's more like them putting Sony Execs in jail because a Walkman might play non-licenced MP3s.

Fucking brilliant man, nice.
Oh hey guys, what's going on in this thread?
I get that a lot as well.
The problem is I like to be helpful, so I'll answer questions if I can. Last couple of times I went shopping I was offered a job! I mean, seriously, can't a guy just go about his day without people begging him to take a job?

I just ate a bunch of nuts, so I'm getting a kick out of your reply.

I guess you think eating vegan means eating salad but that's simply not the case.
There's also 0 cholesterol, which means ~it's way more dangerous than animal fats.
