I don't think you need ADHD to be annoyed by people.

KDE was still cripped with QT GPL/dual license since Gnome and GTK were always LGPL.
Trolltech is a company like any other. They shouldn't be forced to do anything just because their toolkit was popular with some devs. KDE fragmented the desktop with their shortcut in QT.
It wasn't until QT was picked up by Nokia and LGPL'ed in mid-2010 that KDE's license was appropriate for mainstream Linux.
They're couching the act as a consumer safety issue. They'll cite counterfeit child-seats for cars, Vic Toews will start rattling "you're with us, or you're with the child-killers".
Then the legitimate Conservative position is another layer to the whole thing. This makes big business happy, which means jobs for Canadians, and jobs make the economy tick, allowing everyone to buy the services which the government needs to withdraw from the mooching unemployed.
A bill like this could thin the border, free up trade, spur on new markets.
Finally, intellectual freedom isn't a tangible thing. Jobs are, and getting ripped off with a dangerous child seat, that's tangible too.
There's a logical consistency here. A complete disregard for the fact that corporations are impossible to control and will let people starve on the streets if they can save a buck by sending jobs to Brazil or India, but still, consistency.
There will be short term gains which provide political backing, enough that any conservative supporter doesn't need to worry about their constituency ousting them for supporting this bill.
"A 1988 desktop publishing setup of Mac and LaserWriter and Aldus Pagemaker that replaced a million dollar printing press is expensive and underperforming?"
The inflation adjusted price of a Mac SE is $5200 (without a printer). Although the hardware was underspeced for that price, the software was unique and it was an awesome deal if you were in the market for a $1M printing press.
That doesn't do anything for the vast majority of the population who would be fine with a $2000 (inflation adjusted) clone running Wordperfect and a dot matrix printer. To top it off, you got a bigger monitor (which woudl do colour), a better keyboard and more computing power.
2.5x the price, for less of a computer, so that you can get some awesome functionality which you don't need (and Aldus wasn't cheap either). The market felt the same way... so I stand by my point.. overpriced, underperforming computers from a guy who was out of touch with reality.
When Apple bought NeXT and brought in Jobs, NeXT was already dead (the NeXT Cube was $13k inflation-adjusted... again out of touch) and Apple was in a death-spiral. MacOS was still doing cooperative multitasking. If they didn't jump to a new platform they'd be screwed. Buying NeXT was a hail-mary pass, and good for them and for Jobs, it worked. I wasn't talking about the OS. I was talking about the company.
Everything after that falls into the last 10 years of Jobs' life, which is where I said that he did great stuff. Prior to that, his accomplishments could be attributed to his ability to utilize Wozniak, being a jerk and the success of the Apple II.
For much of his life, he was out of touch with reality, producing expensive, overdesigned, underperforming computers. He nearly killed Apple before he was fired, and failed spectacularly with NeXT. Eventually he found a talent for creating markets in new breeds of consumer electronics.
Jobs was mostly a dreamer and goof for all but the last 10 years of his life. We mostly only think about his most successful ideas... because they were successful.
To be a CPA you need a degree, two years of supervised experience, years of additional training in accounting (given the requirement for work experience, school+work could take you 5-10 years) and then you need to pass the exam. http://www.calcpa.org/Content/licensure/requirements.aspx
After all that. Then you're an entry level accountant and not just a bookkeeper.
Any job which has a desigation requirement with work experience means you'll be abused for years as an intern. Your bosses know that without the work experience, you'll never get your papers to get a real job.
Wordperfect + 123 was twice the price of Word+Excel+Windows, wasn't integrated and couldn't multitask.
Microsoft outcompeted Wordperfect and Lotus by combining the marketplaces so that they couldn't compete. By the time Wordperfect (+Quattro) and Lotus (+Amipro) created their office suites and targetted the Windows platform, it was already too late.
A decade of being in the right place at the right time only keeps your bad decisions in check for so long. Eventually somebody comes along and makes good decisions.
Although I don't have much hope for RIM, I think any decisions this guy makes are as irrelevant as his decisions in his last years at the company.

Harper doesn't give a rat's ass about civil liberties, the environment, or even the long term well being of the country. The "Secret agenda" is no secret at all.
He's an intelligent man with a morally reprehensible, narrow and ruthless ideology. Despite majority government, his power is not unlimited... he has to act within the constitution and the interests of the political future of his party members.
"Track performance and give bonuses to the people who manage to stop the intruders."
Ensure the bonus even goes to the average schmo hot-dog vendor who challenges somebody who doesn't have their ID showing. It's not a new strategy, but turning it into a game like this shifts cultures. Suddenly all the con-man defenses of "seriously, don't you know me?", "man, you're uptight, chill." or "Bob says it's okay" fall out the window to your "hey, I get $50 if you don't have a badge".
Not to pick on hot-dog vendors. They're probably more people savvy than most of your security team.
The real niche for these were digital recording for reporters, sound sampling and radio and stuff. Great tool.
The less useful market in North America was as the rich-kid's tape player. You could seek tracks, it was a little smaller and had a little better battery life. The audio quality was cleaner too, but you had to dub all your music to the things and it wasn't practical to buy pre-recorded media. The selection was too small.
Remote buffer overflow in what? the Linux Kernel? IPTables?
There are some crappy routers which expose remote administration tools by default, but those are the exception. Most old home routers only flaw is to enable Universal PnP out of box and not to encrypt wireless.

Conservative majority and some recent added senators. Why do you think it won't go through?

An entry level CPA might earn $45k, but realistically, they'll probably intern for less (maybe $25k).http://blogs.payscale.com/salary_report_kris_cowan/2010/04/cpa-salaries.html

"makes about as much sense as making guns illegal because criminal commit crimes with guns."
There's an obvious and much better analogy:
It's like making violent films illegal because some people film violence.
The Pirate Bay doesn't host pirated content, but these anti-piracy guys do. Interesting.
I guess links to http://piraattilahti.fi/ are links to pirated content.
I'm sure if TPB asked them nicely to take down the infringement, they'd comply. No need to make a big issue out of it.

By default I mean.
No home router I've ever seen has allowed login on the Internet exposed interface.
Wifi yes though. Very much yes, and very vulnerable.
Remote buffer overflow in what? the Linux Kernel? IPTables?
There are some crappy routers which expose remote administration tools by default, but those are the exception. Most old home routers only flaw is to enable Universal PnP out of box and not to encrypt wireless.
