What's USA gonna do when they are facing war on their own turf?
Smart-assed answer #1: nothing, those mexicans work for cheap anyways.
Smart-assed answer #2: like the Canadians will ever invade. The worst thing we've done to you guys recently is have some no-name member of parliament stomp on a Bush "Action Figure" on national TV.
I've discovered a good trick, which is to tape the receipt to the equipment itself - you'll never lose it! Unfortunately it makes TV a little harder to watch.
Clever people notice that many TV's have more than one side to tape things to, sometimes as many as five more.
TOS was too campy, NextGen was too stateless. DS9 was painful when it started, losing me before they got into the long-story-arc thing once Babylon 5 showed that audiences would follow such a story.
Don't know why, but it appeals to me and I enjoy watching it. I still watch Voyager in syndication... not daily, but a couple times a week.
And just to prove to you all that I'm a total crack-pot, I'll also cop to liking Dharma and Greg.
Anything you need to quanitfy can be measured in some way that is superior to not measuring it at all.
Gibb's Law does nothing to address the problem that just because you've found a way to measure something, that particular way is superior to not measuring it at all.
I think the gist of your response is: enough people do it that it is worthwhile to all of us.

Actually, it is more a knee-jerk reaction to the holy-wars which engulf any potential difference. I choose $x, and therefore anything which is not $x is eeeeviiiil.

I'm hoping for Renault to do one of those crazy "we don't have launch control - wink wink" starts from row 3.:-)
Launch control (detecting wheelspin and dynamically adjusting engine output) is illegal. Having a pre-programmed engine map (where the rate of output change is set ahead of the launch) is legal. It is like a computerized version of Top Fuel dragster's "launch control".
More likely, the NYT waited until the cars were in Montreal, where they could send a photographer for $500 for the weekend to shoot some snappies, as opposed to $3000 to one of the european races.
Also, the photos would be more timely, considering the US race is this weekend.
Which? That there aren't more works for Linux or that it's not taking off in the corporate world?;)
Heh.
Seriously though, the worms. I mean -- name two linux worms. Heck, name two worms that any linux was vunerable to, period. I can think of only one -- Ramen -- and that was an Apache/RedHat combination.
When I was in the Queensway Carleton Hospital (Ottawa, Ontario) Tuesday on some unrelated business, I heard a couple of techs explaining to a doctor-type that the CT machines were all down. However I happen to know that the windows-based ultrasound systems were up.
Interesting -- I wonder if the virus had anything to do with the CT machines being unavailable.
if their machines had been properly firewalled (can someone please explain to me why any ports other than those for servers running in a DMZ should be visible over the net, because I'll be damned if I can think of any)[...]
All the firewalls in the world don't do shit for you when your administrative officer plugs his laptop into your corporate net after having it plugged into the unprotected internet all weekend. If you are lucky, the firewall can become a chokepoint permitting you to detect where the infection is coming from internally -- but it does nothing to prevent the internal spread.
You can't possibly believe that I think the government is against you having an income any more than you believe I think the government is in favor of you buying political influence.
Very, very dangerous, and of doubtful legality. A government that starts selectively laying taxes against people it doesn't like will eventually get to you.
Hello, are you new?
Governments already use taxes to discourage activities they don't like (such as having an income) and tax breaks to encourage activities they do like (such as buying a senator^W^W^Wdonating to a political party).
Very true. However in this case, the EMS crews who extracted him out of the driver's seat (and his friend from the passenger's seat) can testify to the search warrant as to who they found in which seat, which leads to a preponderance of assumption that tweedledumb there really was driving.
They should need to show evidence that you were in fact in violation of some law and that the black box could provide the proof of that violation.
Open-and-shut in this case, I'm afraid... the defendant claimed he was going just a little over the 50 Km/h limit, but there was excessive damage to both cars. Also, the defendant's spedometer was frozen by the crash at 125Km/h (the video was on the CBC last night). Put that all together, and you have probable cause that he was excessively breaking the speed limit, giving you the legal handle required to sieze the data.
Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit. We therefore categorically reject the argument that a vendor has a right under the Constitution or otherwise to send unwanted material into the home of another.
...said Mr. Warren Berger, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in 1970.
Broadly interpreted, it means that while you do have a constitutional right to speak, you have no constitutional right to any particular (or general) audience. You do not have the right to be listened to.

Look for this strategy to be repeated in Afganstan and Iraq.

If you have a system any idiot can administrate, that's who you usually end up with as an administrator.

People keep saying that, and it keeps not happening.

It's a joke.
