I'm sure some terrorists communicate with their family members, maybe a very low percentage, but I bet you some of that communication is not encrypted or obfuscated in any way. If authorities suspect a certain individual of being a terrorist, I bet you they'd tap everyone they knew, and sooner or later someone would say something of importance.
"Shaw" is predominantly in Western Canada, "Rogers" is predominantly in Eastern (i.e. Toronto as an example).
So what are your real options for example in Toronto? There's Rogers, which in my opinion has the best bandwidth (5000 / 800 with) with the $100 modem. And then there's one major DSL provider, and a crap load of other DSL providers that run on the major DSL provider's backbone. But in my opinion, Rogers is the fastest.
My torrents were throttled but I switched to BitComet and another port, and now they're fine.
Oh yeah, Rogers cancelled its Newsgroup access in December so they're getting rid of all these "unimportant" services but instead providing free anti virus downloads (like I give a flying fuck).
Heh, it'd be cool if someone made a game where the character's hud is in a contact lens, and a la "The Diamond Age" at one point the HUD is hacked. Then again maybe not.
After 9/11 happened all air traffic was grounded and the contrails that are created by airplanes dissipated. Temperatures went up but at night were generally cooler because the clouds trapped heat inside.
So if ONLY air traffic were to cease you would already see a difference in climate. I'm not an expert so I don't know whether or not this is good or bad, but seeing as this is a human created phenomenon I'm assuming that it would improve the balance of the earth's climate.
You're telling me, today I log in and see if anyone has responded to my posts and lo and behold. I thought it would have been modded off-topic at least.
My dad was sort of part of that. He worked in a big factory in the early 80's, and the stories he told were quite interesting (some involving the military going in to squash a strike, another with him being threatened with 20 years in jail because he was sending letters to his brothers in Norway & Russia).
Which reminds me, I should ask my grandfather about some stories he's had before he passes on to the next life (he's 83).
I've seen viruses or whatever hijack other people's IE options. For example, disabling the ability to change the security level etc. Couldn't find a way to fix it quickly (i.e. uninstalling IE) so you have to reformat the entire OS. Whereas if Firefox were hijacked you could just uninstall it and use something else.
Who said anything about bringing the space junk back to earth? I agree with the parent, in the future you'd definitely have a use for space junk, if not for anything more than raw materials you can use for your space ports or other "star ships".
"Will Sony face future repercussions for this potentially long-term damage?"
No they won't because they're a huge multinational corporation who will probably layoff some employees and reward their top execs from the whole ordeal. I'm not trying to be some hippie about this, it's just the way the world works.
Not all DJs are playing music by RIAA or PPL artists or the equivalent of that in the UK, and if they are they should just boycot those artists and record companies.
Many DJs playing electronic music often play their own tracks, or their friends tracks, or some unknown music producer or some local music producer who isn't going to be angry that his tracks are being played in clubs. And what about vinyl? It said only digital but it's just a different medium?
This includes legally-purchased downloads, which are normally licensed only for personal use, as well as copies of tracks from records or CDs.
You know...vinyl also is licensed for personal use, why should it be different? I think the artists part of the PPL should rectify this situation because often times the way they get popular is by DJs playing their tracks in clubs. So I see that this already has a lot of problems.
A friend of mine worked at walmart. The way they're so rich is because of their logistics abilities. They run on a 24 clock for warehouse materials. If a truck is late 5 minutes or less, then it is sent back and not accepted.
They also take their profits and instead of paying their suppliers first, they take that money and put it to short term investments. They're definitely bullying other corporations as well.
Trust issues aside, maybe it's time to teach your son about encryption and the stupidity of using a public forum for buying illegal drugs.
I'm being serious here.
Regardless of your disapproval for such a thing, regardless of whether or not he will stop because of your wishes, he has to learn to be a little more discreet, a criminal record is something you wouldn't want your son to experience as it can hamper him in his future job opportunities and across the border travel.
If you can hack into his account and see exactly what goes on with his other buddies, don't think that it's difficult for that same kid to get arrested for having a picture of a pound of weed, have his computer confiscated, and then have the police go through his conversations with his other friends who'll he will easily rat out for a slap on the wrist.

He doesn't know what the sea shells are for!
Then it truly is "all over". *Starts digging hole for bomb shelter*
No kidding, I found a copy inside the CD Cover of Snoop Doggy Dogg's latest album.

Don't tell anyone about it.

I use braile. In ASCII.
I don't know what's more funny, the presentation of that joke, or the fact that I laughed at it in the first place.
