Didn't an equivalent thing happen in the financial auditors world when it turned out WorldCom and a bunch of others were houses of cards? I'm pretty sure a bunch of "reputable" auditors basically ended up dead in the water.
Actually, leveling in WoW was never really the problem (well, the 30-40 stretch in the pre-expansion game was kinda a drag). It was once you hit the max level that you learned what grinding really means. Grinding rep, grinding raid instances, grinding for items, blech. Chased me away from TBC.
I believe this is a method of suspension rather than a chemical reaction. To be clear, it's the CO2 in the water the same way fish pull O2 molecules suspended in water to breath.
I strongly believe the producing an internet-specific version of libel/slander would re-invigorate the paradigm, enable a net-new market, and actualize synergies of cross-medium defamation that would allow a best-of-breed convergence of mission-critical turnkey insult infomediaries while recontextualizing frictionless compelling channels.
That's it, I'm writting my member of parliament to demand that canada switch to millimeter per cubic meter! We'll show those damned yankees what's what.
I would just like to point out that I'm sick of the American auto industry treating us Canadians and the rest of the metric world like second class citizens. You in the US all enjoy your wonderfully efficient 230 mpg, whereas we are stuck with only 98km/L, less than half!! For shame.
I plan to start a boycott until this terrible treatment of the metric world halts.
You believe that the people directly responsible for managing gov't-run power plant safety change with elections? My good sir or madam, if you belive that elections have much bearing on safety at a plant, you are sorely deluded.
"Here's mine: If we must have nuclear plants, either have the government own them or make them (highly) regulated monopolies so that they can't escape government control." Oh yeah, gov't sanctioned monopolies are the pinnacle of efficiency and responsibility.
Up here in Canada, the Green Party used to have a wiki for their policy that intended to foster debate. On one of their pages, they decried fission. I posted a comment (not an edit, a comment), asking, basically that if the looming problem is global warming, and the waste products of nuclear fission are manageable, how is replacing coal plants with nuclear plants a bad thing. My comment was deleted.
Kinda stunning.
There are elements of the Green movement that are irrational, all you have to say is "we must/mustn't do X because it's good/bad for the environment", I consider myself a Green, and I find this behaviour abhorrent. While GP paints with too broad a stroke, imo, the colour is just right.
1) You will wait. A very long time. 2) When the waiting is over, nothing will happen. Rogers has been running this annoying crap for months and nothing's happened
To anyone annoyed at this from rogers or bell, point your dns to opendns, the rogers (at least) name servers suck balls anyways.
A happy medium will always be found between the cost of supplying a service and the desire to pay for a service. If ad-supported can't cut it, and no one wants to pay, the happy medium is the death of the service.
Well, just cause it's in the TOS doesn't make it law.
IANAL, but I do read techdirt (that's a joke) so here's my opinion:
I doubt there's much of a copyright issue here since the letter was attributed to her, and since she put it up on myspace, it is fair ground for commenting and reporting. The more salient point was if the publishing, associating with her name, etc... was done with malicious intent. While harder to prove, it strikes me that some teenager/tween bitching about a town on myspace doesn't really bare publishing in a paper except as a means to stir up a controversy. Newspapers can stir up controversy, but if was done with malicious intent or reckless disregard for the well being of the people in question, that could be the actionable point.

Actually most of that is pulled from dack's web bullshit generator
I disagree.

I see no reason why it shouldn't work. After all, I believed and clapped my hands, and Tink got better.

So you're saying we're being treated even worse?!?! Outrageous!

Who's with me?

Arbitrarily close to the cleanliness of mining coal(the other viable power source in North America)?
I'm in the same mindset as you.

"If we just made houses more secure, we'd never have to worry about burglary!!"
There will always be cybercrime, and these days a lot of it involves duping users rather than computers.
Two points:
1) You will wait. A very long time.
2) When the waiting is over, nothing will happen. Rogers has been running this annoying crap for months and nothing's happened

You mean roast long pig...
Wizardry?!
Crusaders of the Dark Savant was an awesome game.
Wizardry 8 was ok, given the rug got pulled out from under the game midway through the dev.
That was Les Grossman worthy...
Wow, I really hosed that...
Um, that should be NewYorkCountyLawyer, us crazy Canadians put u's in everything!!!
Doesn't this provide a handy precedent against the RIAA?
If IP's aren'[t personally identifiable, as a matter of legal precedence, then isn't trying to tie a person to an ip de facto not possible?
Seems to me the courts can't have it both ways.
A happy medium will always be found between the cost of supplying a service and the desire to pay for a service. If ad-supported can't cut it, and no one wants to pay, the happy medium is the death of the service.
And that's related to the OP or article how?
To paraphrase Jean Chrétien: "It's not a good [standard], it's just the best we 'ave".
Well, just cause it's in the TOS doesn't make it law.

Again, this is all conjecture, and IANAL.
