But seriously, as was explained at great lengths in my Globalization class countries need to participate in globalization. Some great examples include countries like Chile (I think) where if a country does not participate in the global economy you start to have hyperinflation. The most interesting part of that class and probably totally OFFTOPIC to this discussion is how economies correlate to atrocities. So in the case of Germany having to pick of the tab of the first world war their currency was worth less than toilet paper...then you have a fascist radical come along and promise wonderful change at the expense of others...war, mayhem...etc...etc.
So in conclusion the obvious solution is quite wiping our arses with money and to force pray in school!
I'm sure like all different marketing the novelty will wear off and if history has shown us will be copied by everyone until it's no different than telemarketers and spammers.
Scott said Shaw, because of the design of its network and its policy for storing customer data, does not have a way of "reliably" complying with such a court order.
I assume dynamic IP addresses might be an issue here - would hate to see poor senior Mrs. Johnson down the street get nabbed for being accused of dl'ing P.Diddy!
[1] yes, some schools have Co-Op programs. But I know of none that are requirements.
My three year Computer Programming/Analyst program at Georgian College required you to have 3 co-ops before you could graduate.
Take note I started in '99 where the bubble was still making the IT industry a beautiful and blue-sky world, and finished in '03 where I was lucky to get a job from one of my co-ops...I mention this only b/c if a student couldn't find a co-op for the designated semester they'd still have to pay $250 regardless. Oh, how we would like them apples!
Rest assure they'll make an example out of them. Much like RIAA attempted with that 12 year girl...b/c that certainly made ppl stop downl...oh wait, no it didn't.
I'm not sure I totally agree that they should be rewarded. Although I found your point suggesting to the laws of supply and demand applicable to virus writers.
The whole "security industry" is created b/c of virus writers (of and hackers, crackers, white hats, black hats, 3l33t g33ks, script kiddies, etc, etc.) just as that whole Y2K scare created a short and profittable industry for some. As long as there's terrorists and virsus writers out there someone is making money providing the warm blanket.
I can't understand why any would modify their behavior to something as unpopular as that layout. Can you imagine the handicap you'd feel if you had to use someone else's computer that were among the 99% percent that were QWERTY? Mind you I'm pull that number out of my ass but I'd be shocked if it wasn't damn close.
Change to the entire marking and essay system will eventually happen. The idea of making students write essays was no doubt introduced in the printing age when students had to battle to the local library and hope that none of the other 99 students (the e.g. number given) didn't sign out the only 2 books regarding the given topic.
Sidetrack: Does anyone actually remember the days when the librarians were the key holders of all information, and they had to walk you through the process of finding them hidden books? Yes, a feeling of pain comes to mind for me.
We now live in the digital age were, as every one of us knows if we labor long enough we can find anything floating around online. To tackle this problem with tools is almost futile as we can see such tactics have failed to stonewall other unmentioned practices from occurring online. I'm unable to suggest another alternative to substitute essay assignments, but as you preach about students cheating themselves of learning, you forget that teachers nowadays are cheating themselves of actually teaching. It truly is a rarity that a college or university instructor can excite students and engage them to participate, rather they tell the class 500-800 words, double-spaced, due next Monday!
With great irony I've heard about this guy in a tabloid article back at the beginning of 2002.
The article was eye-catching b/c it included a picture of this guy. He looked like a victim of malnutrition with a beard and this god awful eye piece that looked hardly ergonomical. The tabloid article went on to mention how if this poor lad went w/o wearing it he wouldn't be as mentioned "feeling nauseous, unsteady, [or] naked", but would rather suffer possible brain damage. I suppose the picture alone wasn't dramactic enough for the editor.
What if I'm dl'ing a copy of a new Linux distro but all the ISP's see is bandwidth usage?
Does that mean I'm to pay extra to obtain freeware?
I'm not "legal educated", but can the empty pocket publishers generalize justification to everyone despite whether they're dl'ing slopyyrighted garb or not? Would that not be the equivalent of burning everyone and calling them witches?
I realize that...the parent to this discussion suggested we take a lesson from France who uses nuclear power, when even he himself admits the dangers and expenses.
After a nuclear explosion or something to midget the devastation of Hiroshima, cities like Pickering will sever them grid connections and become more greedy.... hmmm yes, because that will certainly provide a solution to blackouts. *sarcasm*
I live in Ontario and I distrubed when I learnt that the city of Pickering, which has an enormous nuclear power stations, was also victim to the August 14th blackout.
It was apparently shut down to prevent an "incident" as part of the chain control measures. Although it was not the blame of the blackout, it's still part of system. Is it fair that the residents have to live a city with the possible threat of nuclear destruction only to have no power like the rest of the other cities running them so-called ineffiective oil power plants? Where's Pickering's return on risk using that efficent nuclear power?
Kazaa refuses to band together..."They think they're Microsoft," said Rosso
That's a losing strategy right there. No wonder ppl are turning to KazaaLite. The original version of Kazaa was slick and easy to use, then they added Bonzi Buddy and that other spyware crap...we all know how it would boggle down a machine if we didn't alter the startup settings.
Let us not confuse for a moment that Sharman Networks is noble and in support of a "free lunch" and doesn't have a hidden agenda.
//*BTW, what's the new Napster site look like? **
If the so-called "higher powers" don't shut them down, like it's predecessor Napster was, then the end result will be an implosion within itself, a maker of their own demise. CHANGE THE GAME PLAN!
If only they had these bunch of monkeys conduct this sort of research on that first attempt the terrorists tried at blowing up the World Trade Center with that bomb in the garage, prehaps they'd have figured those towers were "collapsable".
I know that really doesn't make any sense but when my father was dying of cancer the depression he went through was considerably worse than the actual cancer. Not to knock the doctors that treated him, but it was as though he was very much second priority b/c they was not too much they could do. They were giving him all sorts of chemotherapy and surgeries, the bathroom counter was just full of drugs he'd pop every day...he fought for 3 years before passing away.
Something like this would've been an incredible chance and hope for his treatment, instead of a bunch of quacks poking around aimlessly at him without results. I say lets stream-line this to the front lines double time!!!
Well my friend was fired from the staff and the professor didn't fail him in the classes, but gave him D's causing him to loose his scholarship.
Don't worry...his chances of buying a win in a presidential election are still good! Otherwise godforbid...he'll have to get off that ass of his one day.
I totally forgot about them with all this action from the "publisher" speaking on behalf of them...read an article by good old Richard Stallman and you'll realize copyright laws were orginally created in the printing age to protect the artists FROM THE PUBLISHER...not in the digital age where the RIAA thinks everyone is a criminal.
You're right, update the laws but not people's behavior. Artists are really not in the RIAA's tunnel view...just ppl's wallets.
whether he did it on company time and with company resources.
Who cares whether it was or wasn't. Stop him if he lies - was he not accurate to say how more people use Windows as an operating system and thus it is therefore a threat to national security. I'm not sure what @stake's target market or mission statement is but from the product list I assume it's security...an employee that does his job by blowing the whistle that there's a security problem is not shitty on the copier, he's doing his job.

It's true, I saw a posting on our news server for this article that blames a partner, Mainsoft, for the leak.
From the company that brought you the direct model in computing, we now bring you a direct link into our Linux team and their expertise.
Model in computing? Ahhh....so they want to show us how influencing Linux is done....yeah right Dell Dude.

If we're going to discuss liberty and music copyright we might as well throw in musical taste.

Didn't bother to read the rest of your post as your mention of jazz just took me back to those fond hours in the waiting rooms. j/k
It's corporate terrorism.
I like that! Those are the two most popular words on CNN, but never used together.
