They're the two *cabinet ministers* who have been behind this farce. I can't imagine what would change their minds. My solitary vow never to vote for the Conservatives specifically because of draconian copyright changes surely wasn't enough. Perhaps other voters hold the same position while the Conservatives are sagging in the polls and the Liberals could topple the minority Conservative government at any time.
Not taking "proper" drugs can save your life too. It's a bit of a toss-up.
Only rhetorically. If taking "proper" drugs kills you one in 10,000 times and not taking them kills you 9 times out of 10, then it is not a "toss up", meaning 50%-50%. Is there a one-word term for "blindness to orders of magnitude"? Most ideologues seem to suffer from it.
Except that you have good transit systems and are counting around 30M fewer votes.
Counting paper ballots is an embarrassingly parallelizable task. If you get enough people doing the counting, you could count 400M votes and sum up the results in half an hour.
So where is Alex Brown's Wikipedia page? One needs to be created so that every Slashbot can update it every second of the day to say that he is a Microsoft marketing agent.

Microsoft made it impossible for me to copy files around between USB keys, dvds and hard disks with anything like the speed of XP for reasons they've never explained.
Well, it takes time to analyze the content you are copying and report it to the RIAA.
But does this plan have as much plausibility as the environmentalists' plan to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions by 200%? (Logically impossible, but this is what would be needed to reverse global warming, where it's unlikely that we'll even see a slow-down in the growth of carbon emissions without enormous sacrifices to our standard of living.)
You can blame Pierre Trudeau for this. In his drive to leave a legacy, he saddled Canadians with a terribly flawed constitution in 1982 that actually reduced our rights and freedoms. In particular, the biggest one of the "Mack-truck holes" in our protections is that any government can pass a law that violates the Constitution simply by including the word "notwithstanding" in its language. The Quebec language laws flagrantly violate the Canadian Charter of Freedoms and universal human rights, but they are legal because they say "notwithstanding". Thanks a bunch, Pierre.
There have been a few months when we've been above 500GB, but have never broken the 1TB level.
This just means that you are an abusive user who should pay a hell of a lot more than I do for Internet access. I only use 1 to 2GB per month, since I rarely do bulk downloading. I think every plan should include 10GB of throughput and each additional GB should be an additional charge. Then assholes like yourself can pay your own way rather than sponging off my payments.
So any child may not have pictures of themselves naked.
More than just photographs, she is also in possession of a 1:1-scale articulating sculpture of a naked child's body. All children need to be thrown in jail for this offense!
If you believe, and there is no God, nothing happens to you - this is the existential viewpoint.
OTOH, people who aren't schizophrenic don't actually have the power to *choose* what they believe. At most, you could feign a belief in God, but if you'd think an omniscient being who can read the mind of everyone on Earth at all times might just catch on to your deception and be a little peeved with you.
Parent clearly indicated "consciousness", and you indicated "intellectual capacity", yet make a point based on "earliest memory".
I pointed out that animals have "consciousness" and it's okay for us to kill them, so some other, higher standard is required. Some animals are rather clever, also. The key question becomes at what point does a child's "intellectual capacity" exceed that of a clever animal? I merely suggest that perhaps the inability to form specific permanent memories indicates that their brains are not coherent enough to be considered more than animals. I'm well aware that ordinary people are terrible hypocrites. Indeed, this is what I am pointing out.
And if you were so truly enlightened you recognize how two wrongs do not make a right
Indeed, it usually takes three or four.
More seriously, the "two wrongs do not make a right" sounds like religious or ideological (pretending that there is a distinction) dogma. Where is your proof?

I have a Slackware 3.3 disc for sale to this London company. Its OS is much better than SCOs and I'm willing to part with it for only $5-million.

The money still goes from taxpayers to government through the slightly more indirect route of consumers -> service providers -> government.

Balls thoroughly licked!
They'll make a lot of money off downloads of OpenOffice.org... which is similar to the outrageously priced Microsoft Office.

Do rent-a-cops have any power to seize property, or is this just a case of theft?

Indeed. Half-dozen more iterations, they'll have an ICBM capable of delivering a ton of... satellite... to Washington, DC.

This kind of shenanigans has happened in Canada, too. Votes should stay open for 24 hours to disallow this kind of fraud.

A pen is a much more dangerous weapon than that. Strangely, you're also allowed to bring them on airplanes.
