The obvious potential hazard of the radiation aside, she has mentioned riding at high speeds as well as animals on the road slowing her down.
One of the mostest important aspects of driving or riding safely is expectations. A bike racer can expect that if he follows the leader at 180mph, and is only separated from his rivals back tire by an inch or two, he is in most regards, safe. You cannot do that while riding in public.
Elena's biggest safety risk may very well be "the unexpected".
If I offer you child porn with a disclaimer, no matter what's in the disclaimer, traffiking in the child porn would still be illegal.
There are many instances where you cannot be forced to abandon your rights by signing a contract saying that you do. And this Google search happens whether or not the 'complaintent' searched or not. He's concerned about other people doing this.
I've no idea who's right here, but your logic fails badly.
And although it's not revolutionary, it does allow those of who live outside the city limits and have no access to cable an alternative besides satellite.
And this isn't an I hate th US post. Rather, the US would feel compelled to protect their neighbour against any foreign invader.
If, however, at some point in the future, our Great Protector needed something we had badly enough, they would probably end up with it, through pressure or other means.
Either way our military is more for show in the form of 'doing our part' than as any real World force.
The US government is responsible because they sent him to a country that was not his. Mr. Arar WAS and IS a Canadian citizen.
The US government CHOSE to threaten Arar with deportation to a country that it knew would torture him if "he didn't talk"....and then made true on this threat.
This would be like England sending an American citizen, who was wrongly accused of being a spy for Israel, to Iran......and than claiming that they had no idea Iran might torture him.
"He was detained" by the US, and sent not to his home country, but by the US to be "tortured by Syria".
Can they snoop on "everyone" and not just you? Which would require a whole lot of 'winking'.
By this I mean can they probe everyone who cashes more than $10,000 at the casino because this may be suspicious behavior if it's repetive. I am sure that if the FBI probed banks in select communities they may be able to justify it to themselves.
One other thought I had was this....if I were investigated unbeknownst to me and later applied for a loan at the same bank they 'grabbed' info from, would that bank be more likely to turn me down......
The worst side effect of this is the punishment of the not guilty.
I backup stuff regularly to cd's. I've NEVER burned a music cd.
I also have a handy little 128mb key drive. Wonderfully handy for transferring stuff I'm working on.
I could very well have a 40GB iPod and use it to hold music I own - why carry all those cd's when I can pop'em on my iPod, or use to start story all the music I CAN NOW LEGALLY buy online.
So add a huge tax to that and how do I feel?
Do my morals change? Do I all of a sudden feel that since I am paying for music via this tax that I had may as well benefit from this? Or do I happily understand that because someone else doesn't something "they" don't like that I should pay more?
Internet Service Providers (ISPs): 7 (2000) Internet users: 5.7 million (2002) Population: 23,092,940 (July 2003 est.) Area - comparative: slightly larger than New Mexico

With 25% of the population connected the small number of ISP's likely isn't an issue.
I issue I see here is that the books that will be worthwhile selling (ie - make money) are the books someone wants to read. Basically - the more popular a book is, the more money it will make for the library. Why I find this bothersome is that the only books libraries should be getting rid of are books that ARE NOT in demand. They should not be taking a book that is desirable and making it harder for me as a user to find. This is backwards logic to me.
Considering that "Statistics show that anywhere from 75-92% of all child sexual abusers - abuse family and friends children " according to http://www.beachildshero.com/neighbor.htm I'd say he'd better not live anywhere near his family or friends.
The sell them to themselves as a loss. Therefore using them as a tax deduction twice - once for the loss and once for the cost......and if the loss is great enough they might even make a profit!
But if the other 98% of internet users followed the "rules" and installed anti-virus software, as the "rules might require", any viruses getting around this system would have a potentially more difficult time getting a foot hold world wide.
For the simple reason that the average Joe would be forced to at least consider security or not get online, this is helpful.
"A somewhat more realistic interpretation of "Migration path with discounts" would go more like this:
1) You already owe SCO money for their IP that you are using in Linux, 2) SCO knows this was unintentional and says "Hey, we know you didn't mean to infringe our IP, but you did. Since it was accidental, we'll charge you LESS if you stop infringing our IP quickly by converting to something that does not infringe our IP"
Basically extend the licensing that they were already doing:
$699 - Binary license $599 - License current and prior use of SCO owned Linux IP on one server and migrate that server to xBSD within 6 months. $499 - License current and prior use of SCO owned Linux IP on one server and migrate that server to HP-UX within 6 months $299 - License current and prior use of SCO owned Linux IP on one server and migrate that server to Windows 200x within 6 months
The discount is to what you pay THEM, and does not affect what the other vendor charges you for their OS."
So I'm Joe Average user and I get home from work on a Friday to find out I've been hit by this nasty new virus. I spend a while trying to fix it, but can't. I call up my friendly neighbourhood computer shop who tells me he wants 3 figues to fix it and he tells me it may end in a format.
I decide that I can backup my stuff myself and as I have disks for all my software, this isn't too big of an issue. So I format, install windows and with a new sound card find myself on the phone dealing with product activation. That's frustrating as it's past midnight and the phone lines aren't staffed as well as they could be.
This by itself is frustrating......but imagine this is the norm....imagine I have graphical software, tax software, a few games and several apps...all paid for and all requiring activation. How happy do you think I'd be?
As long as activation isn't the norm it's not too big of an issue...more of an inconvenience....but it has the potential of being much more of a problem in the not to distant future.
This is my 1st experience with BitTorrent as well but I did read the faq after starting the dl. While I found it slow at 1st I am sitting now at 70% and 110KiB/s Down and 45 KiB/s up.
Not too bad at all.
I do find that a single file open right now uses about 10% of my system resources on a PII 366 (my old laptop).
All in all better results than I would see on Kazaa.
I am a bit at odds as to how easy it would be to find files a week or two old. On Kazaa this is easy but with BitTorrent is seems a file must be left open to be downloadable. Anyone who downloads much can't be leaving much open. This technology might go far with Open Source software releases were the demand is high shortly after the release.

The story starts out talking about Pacman but then finishes with discussing only modern "video intensive" games.
I'd bet that "yahoo games" or popcap games are as popular as the traditional store bought games.
Simulation type games (Monoploy Tycoon - SimCity) aren't touched neither, nor are Sports type games.
This article doesn't really seen to a variety of games at all. Yet it implies that "new" games aren't coming out. They are.

I wonder what would have happened if she had just simply "taken" them back.
It would be hard to charge her with stealing stuff that she already owned.
I'm sure someone here must know some law on this.

I use Telus ADSL here in British Columbia and have never had a limit issue. And I quiet often upload and download a lot.
I've had no issues with hosting web sites or running an ftp server even though servers are not allowed.
Having used Shaw cable here as well, I can say that I find Telus more reliable.
Can they snoop on "everyone" and not just you? Which would require a whole lot of 'winking'.

The copyright something is released under has to be considered.
We read this here all the time in regards to the GPL. The GPL must be respected.
Yet it seems to many that it's okay to ignore the copyright that "Metallica" or whoever releases there music under.
You don't like the copyright it's released under that's your choice - DON'T listen to it.
The worst side effect of this is the punishment of the not guilty.

The grandparent asks why people aren't selling - indicating that they should as the price is going down.
And he's modded insightful. I wonder why he thinks the price is going down if it's not because people are selling.

Good example. Getting screwed at the gas station over a gallon of gas.
.
As a Canadian, where a gallon = 4.54 litres, I get screwed every time I go to the US and buy a 3.9 litre US gallon.
The last time I drove you to the US.....
I spent my $500 dollars (which you call $350)
I also drive down in a car that I bought with 0% financing (yet paid $2300 more than I would have if I paid cash).
I wore my size 42 shoes (about size 9 to you) and drove at 100 most of the way there (60 for you).
