"This kind of "oh they won't do that again" serves the other side, not ours."
I despise what the MafiAA is doing, but that doesn't put me in the pirates' camp. "Ours" presumes I am, and is wrong. Boycott the !@#$%^&*. Nobody *needs* their !@#$. Put 'em out of business. Don't play their game!
This kind of "oh they won't do that again" serves the other side, not ours.
"Ours"? Methinks you presume too much.
Yeah, the US' copyright regime is fscked, but don't presume everyone's a "pirate". I advocate boycotting the bastards. Let 'em go out of business, ASAP. Support producers who don't want to enslave you, or sue you into oblivion. A quarter of a million dollar fine for dupping a DVD? Get serious. We can all do without. There's lots of stuff out that that is nowhere near as demanding.
Seriously. If we're so damn superstition and ill educated, why does everyone still come to our schools from around the world, particularly china and india? Why are we the country that gave the world computers, space flight, airplace, nuclear physics,...
Wow. That's some serious reality evasion you've got going on there. I'll guess you don't read the newspapers or hit their websites very often.
Have you heard of Kansas and Texas? Have you heard about their efforts to outlaw the teaching of evolution? How about Louisiana, post-Katrina when the cops were doing more to kill people than protect them, and the first responders to get there were Canadians?
The sad thing is that there are people who are smart enough to work on this stuff but so stupid they think doing so is a good idea...
This is one of the first lessons I learned in IT. Yeah, you could build a database to manage the contents of your freezer, but any person in your family who's not bothering to update the database when they do something with the freezer will corrupt the db. So, dumb thing to do.
Reading this story, I'm wondering what they have against dogs. We've been training them to do this stuff for ages, and dogs are likable too.
He said anyone without a job after signing up to the scheme would be lacking 'imagination.'
What this says to me is Iain Duncan-Smith has not held a job, such as one which he is wishing on us, in his lifetime. I've had some great contracts/jobs with teriffic clients/employers. Then there's the other ones; the "gap jobs" that tide you over between the good ones. Between insufferably clueless management, three hour per day commutes to minimum wage jobs, penurious support, "to the second" clock watchers,...
Co-worker: "I need to take Friday off to attend the funeral of an army buddy." Vince: "But I need two weeks notice!"
Hired to be a "Computer Operator": "I don't want you doing computer stuff until 4:00 PM!"
There are way too many jobs out there that make you want to bang your head on a brick wall or jump off a bridge. I like to work and create. I don't enjoy enduring boring and stupid un-fixable regimes which no-one should have to. Unfortunately, most of those sort of jobs out there are just that; tyrannical abysmal managers utterly unwilling to improve anything.
I keep asking if this is so true then why does every nationality and US state that has stricter gun laws have a lower rate of gun death?
Perhaps a flippant anwer, but perhaps the US contains more people who deserve to be killed? I'm not making any judgment here. US-ians are doing it it, not me, after all. "You cut me off! Eat lead!" Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Voyager 1 has been moving away from Earth for what, 37 years, and it is now at the edge of, if not beyond, the Solar System's farthest reaches. It is 11 billion miles away.
It's been running on empty since soon after it was launched. Consider what its velocity would be if it had been continuously accelerating for the last 37 years. We can do that now.
The only 'users' it effects are ones that use Gmail's web interface to check SOMEONE ELSES POP3 server.
So, wtf is wrong with that?!? How can that affect Google? POP pulls. It doesn't send. How can that be in any way a spam problem? They resent me pulling spam from a server unrelated to Google? Why?
I for one am VERY happy with the free email services provided by google and their ability to filter out spam.
Anyone who can figure out how to make bogofilter and procmail work together (which is trivial) can filter out spam. You prefer to sign your life away to Google, which is fine, but not the best choice in my mind.
Your parents pay mortgage on the basement you live in, they pay taxes to the county for your right to an education and utilities so you can download every nasty porn scene from bit torrent
Nice (gross) ad hominem.:-P Some of us have actually worked for people and corporations, and done a good job. BTW, never pirated anything. I boycott the bastards.
My Mom loves my cooking. She's 90 years old and needs the support. Stick your transparent bigotry/intolerance/preconceptions where the sun don't shine. Shove it.
Certainly they can, and so can we; including not using them. My ISP's IMAP server is happy letting me (encouraging me even) use SSL and TLS with mutt + OfflineIMAP. What's wrong with Google? Actually, I don't really care. As others have mentioned, commercial CAs hardly have a reputation to crow about, and that's where Google's really being foolish. I generally expect them to come up with better solutions than this. No skin off my nose though, as I never intend to use them. This may be good for Google, but (as usual) not for users of its "services."
... but (is this typical in Canada too?) you'll see a few horizontal/vertical lines of seismic, and the rest is artistic interpretation and Monte Carlo statistical simulation.
No. Canada was an area of sedimental deposition for a long time. The centre of North America was an ocean at one time. Southern Saskatchewan is almost all *way* flat sedimentary stratigraphy.
Well configurations are also rather dynamic, where some holes will be full-cased and others only partial casing,...
Possibly; I don't know that stuff (I didn't do much field work)... However, in Canuckistan, I suspect stuff would've been done right, or they'd be shut down. At least in those days when I was working with them.

You're right. It was I who was presuming too much.
but don't presume everyone's a "pirate".
When did he do that?

Imagine a Judge whose dictionary has the same definition of 'obvious' as the rest of us.
Imagine a /. editor who can see "syncing" and then allow "synching."
Good to see another obvious patent go down in flames. "But, this is done on a computer!" Meh.
You can't chuck a mule into storage to wait until it's required
Corral or paddock.
You can't ship a mule in a, say, container
Mules have been shippen in far worse.
You can't (at least easily) airdrop a mule
Parachutes fit on animals just as good as they fit on humans.
You can't temporary hide a mule for couple days in a forest or under snow
You've got to be kidding.
You cannot remotely controll a mule
Okay, ya got me there.
Mules might have difficulties in staying calm when bullets and bombs start flying arround
You can train them to do that.
In case of injury the whole mule must be replaced, no spares
How's that different from a machine that takes a bullet?
Soldiers get emotionally attached to animals ...
Soldiers get emotionally attached to UAVs, and lots of other stuff.
It won't get stolen by the locals to use as a sex slave?
Ya know, I've always thought that sort of comment said a lot more about the commenter than those the commenter's insult was intended for.
... no animal rights issues that would surely result from bringing a mule into a combat zone ...
Are you aware that the chief mode of transport in WWI was horsepower?
How far we've progressed in such a short time.

If so, then that means NIGGERS!
Are you aware that you're an ASSHOLE and an anachronism? Just checking. In the future, we won't have to suffer the existence of such as you, ideally.
... you might want to stock up on ammunition for your Grendel gun.
Or, shiny beads that the natives may enjoy trading for.
Just a thought.
I'll go. Please? No reservations here, just sign me up. Beem me up, please.
beam up no we have a gate you walkthough to get there.
Even better. Is Sam there? Hell, I'll settle for Rodney.
Kaplah (to seriously mix a metaphor)!
Yeah, but if we're considered a cancer on our planet ...
You may consider yourself a cancer. I consider myself an inhabitant.
Cortez had no intention of wiping out indiginous natives when he arrived in the New World. Feature. Serendipity. Ignorance is bliss. Yadayada. :-(

How many 'hacks' of real CA's have occurred?
I'll just have to say TOO MANY, and leave it with that. The CA system is crap.
Life costs money, get used to it
What a shallow way of thinking.
