and it would be quickly caught, and the outcry from the privacy groups would be so severe, you'd have to either take it out, or the whole kernel would fork, and you WOULDN'T be leading development anymore
"They are fully subsidised by the Canadian government"
No it's not. It's partially subsidised by the government, but since trudeau they've been slowly turning off the tap, leaving the CBC to try to pick up the slack with advertising
It's one of those rare times the disadvantage comes close to negating the advantage.
Not necessarily. If you add a feature (one that isn't just making the icon in cornflour blue) or fix a bug, you can submit it to the main thread if you want, and it may or may not be added.
Quite a few foreign shows ended up excellent, despite the budget of what seems to be what the producers pulled out of their couch. Red dwarf (uk), corner gas (ca), etc.
The claim you're not entitled to is holding that rights are natural & self evident.
Even Descartes justifies the claims he holds self-evident, rather than just assuming them and working from there. The framers of the DoI, not so much.
And I'm not american, i'm a philosopher in canada.
Don't get me wrong, I Like liberal theory, but I think that the way the constitution framers justify it is logically inconsistent, so I can't in good faith allow it to pass uncritically
Actually, I'm familiar with the writings of John Locke. Furthermore, there ARE a postereori proofs in philosophy, most of them come from the philosophical tradition of empiricism of which John Locke is concidered a member of.
Furthermore, the "proof" given by John Locke is paper-thin and rests soley on there being a creator, unless one wants to examine the dubious claims as to the original state of mankind pre-large society. Since acheological evidence shows that man was never, in fact, a free individual running around in a romanticised "state of nature" as Locke's philosophical inquiry in to the matter depends on, it is safe to assume that John Locke's philosophy can be safely disregarded by any right-thinking individual.
Philosophy has long since discarded the idea of natural rights (with a couple deviations, notably Libertarianism, although Nozick uses different justification for his rights than the state of nature of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau), The only remnants of a true-to Locke version being enshrined in the constitution and declaration of independence of the USA.
The founders of the constitution may "hold these truths to be self-evident" but I sure as hell don't. I find any talk of "self-evident truth" to be suspect at best. It's a cop-out when there's no reason for you to make claims that you aren't entitled to
If they're a priori, back them up. Show me how they exist as self evident.
Consensus by a bunch of old dead guys is not self-evidence
If there is a god, and he grants us inalienable rights, prove it.
the only truly self evident truths are mathematical in nature, and they're self evident only in so far as the structure that we've agreed upon for dealing with a fundamental similarity we find between groups of objects. Even math, then is only self-evident insofar as we agree upon certain conventions of mathematics
Opening the market to allow Canadian drugs would be a start
Not if canadians have anything to say about it.
The practice of drug exports from Canada is resulting in threats of withdrawing the bulk-buying agreements that make drugs in canada cheap to begin with, not to mention that it's invariably going to cause drug shortages in the great white north.
Ontario's premier is concidering banning export of canadian drugs to the USA, and other provinces will likely follow.
GTKPod does a pretty good job of updating the song database on my iPod, all I need to do is retrieve the DB, drag and drop songs, and then update the DB and it works.
Censorship we know about. Capitalist rule is more like an oligarchy, just ask File sharers.
They rewrite history, just look at what happened to that first leader that died. They threaten other countries, just look at Iraq/Iran. They destroy cultural identities that are not their own, look at Japan.

The replicators from SG1 don't appear to address this either. They need power... where does it come from?
Subspace or something... jesus christ, it's stargate, power comes from everywhere on that show.

There are two types of geeks. scrawny geeks and fat geeks.
I'm a scrawny geek
my wiener?
Wife's breasteses?
More the second. That's something i want to hide from people who aren't me or baby.
First of all, this feed isn't encoded with WMP whatsover.
Second of all, why would it be a PODcast (made for iPods) in a file format that sed iPod cannot play?

Fortunately, the target market country is the most broadband connected country in the world, so that should be a pretty negligable issue

I don't know about others, but my main reason for using open source is that I'm free to do as I wish with it.

My iPod (connected to USB2) is connected to the computer pretty much all the time unless i leave the house.
works fine
what's wrong with a negative fertility rate?
Less land used for farming, less energy needed, etc.
I think a negative birth rate is EXACTLY what we need right now
Exactly!

Fair Market Value: The price that an interested but not desperate buyer would be willing to pay
Tell me... If you're going to either die, or take drug X, isn't that the definition of desperate?
Wow... an example of eminent domain being used improperly = eminent domain is evil...
That is not an argument. Move along.
investors don't pony up the cash to develop new drugs, taxpayers do through funding for universities.
Next question.
I, Robot was horrible for it... I don't know what the movie was about... something about converse shoes i think
