  1. Telus' Side (if you care) on Canadian Telco Admits to Blocking Union's Website · · Score: 1

    Not to come to the defense of a Telus, which I generally consider to be entirely evil, but I saw this story on the TV News last night (I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada). Telus claims that they blocked access to the site because the site contains photos of non-union workers who have not given their permission for the union to user their images. That's basically bogus if you ask me, it's kind of selective enforcment of a law. If telus blocked access to any site that had picutures of people without their permission, or offered other illegal/questionable material, there wouldn't be much of an Internet left. But telus dosn't really supply access to the Internet anyways as they block all traffic to and from their clients on port 25 (smtp). That was the last straw for me. I live in BC, do everyting I can to avoid Telus.

  2. What most languages say to me... on If Programming Languages Could Speak · · Score: 1

    "Ouch, what are you doing? That's not how you do that, learn to program dumbass."

  3. Re:A simple answer to a simple question... on Bounds Checking for Open Source Code? · · Score: 1

    We can't leave Java out of this discussion, did someone say "Array out of bounds exception"? The VM does the memory monitoring automatically and most will tell you exactly where it happend. "I'll check my own bounds thank you very much!"

  4. Re:But Why? on Intenet2 Backbone Upgrades · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've recently been working for a client developing software for monitoring highspeed connections, when he mentioned his recent exposure to 10Gb/s (yes that's 10 gigabits/sec) backbones, a team member asked what that much bandwidth would be used for. He responded with one short word "Porn"
