Part of what happens is that people think they can apply their laws and way of life inside of our borders. Yet, they fail to consider what would happen if you or I tried to do the same thing. What would happen if I went to Canada (which I wouldn't, it is too cold and I don't care for Canada much), and brought my AR-15? What would happen if I went there and burned their flag?
I for one do not trust the government, nor do I trust big business. But, the fact of the matter is, these entities are the backbone of the country we live in, like it or not.
Now, I read alot of the bad points of the Patriot Act here on/. . How about some of the good? How about the terrorist suspects that have been detained because they could be watched easier, search warrant fast tracked and all?
Personally, if I found out that someone had one of my children, and the only person that knew where my child was located was sitting in front of me, I would peel their skin off to find the information I needed to help find my child in one piece. Right or wrong, that is what I would do, and it would not bother me if my government did the same thing to people who were trying to cause a disaster here in this country. The people we are fighting, so we all (yes, even you Canada) can be safe, are animals. These people want your women to hide and not be seen, and they want to be able to execute you if you believe in a different God, or none at all. You people that believe that gays should marry... Go to Iran and try it, lets see how well that works out!
Like you said, there will be some bugs to be worked out. This whole process is new to us, and we are going to make mistakes. The world (and some prominent US polititions) seems to feed on these mistakes like parasites, yet they fail to give credit where credit is due. Lets give the USA credit for kicking the $hit out of 2 countries that were either terror based, or supporting terror. Remember, wacko's, Saddam was paying the families of suicide bombers... Is that not a terrorist? Flame away, wackos.
Either way, you have to give the Patriot Act, and also our country, a chance. We may very well be the ones that will come and save your a$$e$ when it hits the fan. Don't think that by being the way you are, you are completely safe from the nasty little world around us. And if you live here, work hard to bring your point across, but do it in a respectable manner.
You know, it is not cool to generalize, since somebody can pick apart your argument easily. But. There is no proof that everybody can be good at everything. There is proof, however, that men and women are wired differently. This could explain why men are probably more likeley to excel in Math and Science. Men, for the most part, are wired to be hunters, which needs the problem solving skills to complete the job. Women, on the other hand, are wired to be gatherers.
Anyone who tells you different is full of shit. This is the way we evolved, and this is the way it is.
I have my date set to 2099, and this seems to be the highest date year I can attain.
The intersting thing is that my computer is still functioning, so blah to the current 2038 doomsayers. My office is not on fire, and everyone can still print through me.
The only problem? My Slashdot cookie seems to have expired!
I don't know about Speakeasy, but Verizon lets you do it. I have a computer store in town here, and I resell my 3 meg connection. I have many other users connected through 802.11g, with a linux box doing radius and tables. I shut off the broadcasting, and it seems to work out rather nicely. Of course, most of these businesses are surfing or chatting, and if it were different I would have to bump up to the 7 meg. I charge $45.00 a month, and it helps recover the costs of my expensive phone bill. Plus, if they need help, they come to me!
What really gets me is that there is tons of child porn, snuff, and other illegal stuff on the torrents and p2p networks. Why don't people get upset about this? It seems to me that the message being sent is "If you download our stuff, you are in trouble. But, if you download illegal sex films, that is OK." Seems a bit backwards to me...
Perhaps you should take some of your bullshit rhetoric, and back it up with facts. Not some crap that flies from your finger tips, but cold hard facts. Back up everything you say here, or continue to be some jerk that nobody takes seriously. Hence, your -1 mods on most of your ridiculous posts (Fact Example!!!). LOL!
And I don't mean some gay website that supports your views and misguided thoughts.
Well, lots of people said airline security was not necessary, because most terrorists were not flying airplanes into buildings before 9/11. Could you imagine them trying to implement half of what they are trying now, before 9/11? Most travellers would have shit if they had to get to the airport 2 hours before their flight.
Additionally, since GPS is a relatively new technology, it seems to me that your statements are "bullshit".
I personally like the "exaggerated" threats. Jeez. Just 4 years ago, people were bitching because they never got any threats.
...how does attacking spammers make them better people then the spammers?
Tell you what. I do not think that the issue is being better than spammers, I think the issue is that it is about time a bit of vigilante justice is done to these bastards. No matter what laws are created, because of the nature of the Internet itself, this may very well be the only way to stop these people currently.
Although I agree that we need to find better fuel sources, I would appreciate it if you not spread your own spin here. Back your bullshit up with facts.
If you can say that "It's all about oil and controlling the supply", then where is your proof. If the USA was controlling the oil supply in Iraq, I for one think that my fuel costs would go down, not up. You fail to explore certain aspects of both sides, and in doing so your argument is nothing but drivel.
I just got out of the hospital... I went to visit/. last night, and I saw a dreaded http error... I suffered a seizure, while my hand was on my penis. Not a pretty site.
I will be sending you a bill, along with my severed penis...
I see it this way. If you are sending pop-up pictures of women getting fucked by a dog, to my computer, while my child is sitting with me, I should have the right to shoot you.
BTW..My child uses the Internet while I am sitting next to her, never alone... Because of this trash.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually good users. Every Windows user on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you Linux users do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Linux users are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.
First, Norton will not pick up ANY virus that it can't see. And since most of the bad bugs are network aware, they will kick your ass and Nortons will not see shit. His problems are with getting the updates in the first place. No updates, and none of the AntiVirus products out there will see things like Nachi.
As for your comment about "If Linux was the monopolising OS...", that is bullshit. Mac users are on BSD, are they getting hammered?

I completely agree with your point of view.

I am very glad you live in Canada. Stop benefiting from my country, and the goods and services that come from it.

Stupid asshole.
No $hit. Great post, Ingolfke. I could not have said it better, but I tried ;)
Some people will use any excuse to bash the man that WON THE ELECTION (OWNED!!!)
Ehem. Thank you.
I would like to tell all you worry warts out there a little something about GPS... Civilians and Military use different GPS.
There is a smack on the flame baiters foreheads.
Additionally, it would behoove you to read the article a bit before making yourselves look like a bunch of asses.

You can't have it both ways, people.
Good. Make the GPS service a pay per view type thing for those bastards.
"Excuse me, Mr. Putin, your credit card has been declined..."
"The Motion Picture Ass. of America (MPAA)"
Perhaps this is the new way to refer to them, and we should all jump on board.
The first thing that I noticed was that when you go to the page, the cursor does not have focus in the search field.

Searching for "tiananmen student uprising" yeilded no information on that event.

The site cannot handle traffic like Google!
Netcraft thinks differently. They say that most of the backbones are blocking it.
I think you are 100% correct, and I applaud your post. You hit it on the head.
Tell you what. I do not think that the issue is being better than spammers, I think the issue is that it is about time a bit of vigilante justice is done to these bastards.

Well, I used to have lots of fun hot swapping ISA and PCI cards, to see what would happen to the system itself.
:)
Although you must be fast to do it, I rarely did this and had a board blow out.
If any of my customers are reading this, this was in my "lets beat up the computer days", not since PCI was new
Find a new line of work.

Well, I am mixed on this one. I hate the ads for 2003 Server, but hey, at least Microsoft is PAYING OSDN, instead of the other way around!
