I say, follow Microsoft's example and put bounties out on these guys...
Yeah... somehow we could make a living of it! Getting into these script-kiddy gangs, just like a secret agent infiltrating terrorist groups... and then some stoopid republican president will find a wat to take credit out of it, saying he, once again, made his homeland safer and blah, blah, blah...
Well, I live in Canada (Québec), and it is not *really* legal.
It's just that the do not enforce the law, just like you won't get sued for stealing for eating a raisin in a grocery.
We have, at least in Québec, publicity in the papers, on TV, in the metro, etc... that try to make us feel sorry about sharing music, financed by l'ADISQ. The have some stats about file sharing (in french).
Right now, since the idea of suing people who share music is not popular, I doubt that we will see any action taken until the federal election on june 28th.
Another interesting thing, Apple started to make TV commercials of "iPod + iTunes". But we still have no iTunes... my iPod is angry/hungry!
I had once a bad experience with my local phone company, Bell Canada.
The line was cutting repetedly (like, every 10 secondes) and some distortion was audible on the line. Not to mention my adsl connection wasn't functionning.
We used to pay for some "line quality assurance", a kind of disguised tax on my phone bill. Well, that time, the quality hasn't being assured.
It took 11 days before I could get a tech to look at the problem. 11 days without internet connection, and with a sound of something that sounded like Slayer's songs playing backward in the background. Charming, believe me. When the guy came, he told me the "little delay" has been caused by all that particulary bad weather lately. A rainy 45F isn't particulary bad weather. Not in Québec.
The guy look at some cable outside the house, shakked 'em a little, took the phone for 15 secondes and leaved qithout saying a word. I runned to ask him what the problem was: "I don'T know, I guess it's working fine now." I told him I had to see if I could connect to the internet: "I'm not here to repair your internet, i'm here to repair the phone line. If you can have a conversation ver the line, my job's done."
I'm already covered infear each year that I might get an apple containing razor blades, now I'll need to worry about my apples might contain a nuclear bomb. Damn!
If this business model works for Wi-Fi networks, could it works for water network?
Our water network, here in Montréal, Québec, is in a very bad state. It will cost billons of dollar to repair it, and neither municipalities, provincial or federal government want to pay for fscking it.
I personnaly wouldn't care to have an ad displayed in the bottom of my toilet. I might even enjoy using it, sometimes, depending on the advertiser!
I accidentaly poured a complete beer in a laptop... yeah, those things appends. It was ruined... The beer poured in was cold, but it was hot when it came out... I guess it touched some hot part of the laptop...
I also droped my Palm in a coffee... but it still works. Thanks Ford my coffee was not too hot...
Then in Ages of Empires and Civilizations, I was a king!
In Starwars Galaxies, I played a mayor for a while. With a bunch of friends, we started a town, it grown big, my friends and some of the folks were reelecting me each week, until someone started to complain about my politics and won the vote against me.:(
Since I had a lot of powerfull artisans still in my camp, we boycotted thier artisans and raised the prices for them... heheheh, we showed those bastards how it was to be Cuban!!! héhéhéh
Politics make some games great!!! But it is not a must, just a good option games can count on.
In this article, posted by the same author on the same site as the RFID article, the author clearly state: "Just to be clear, the HHS RFID article was an April Fool's day joke. I

Come on, why will Bush administration spend money on homeless anyway, they don't vote?
That's the further I can go without being impolite with to corrupted government.
</non-sarcasm>
Of course they did blame Canada! It is the American way! You break something, you accuse your neighbor! You get sick, you accuse China. You crap you pants, you accuse Canadian beef. Your powergrid fail, you accuse Canada!
Did anyone think it's strange that, 2 or 3 hours after the begining of the blackout, the Canada was accused to had caused it, but it took six months to find the real problem, wich was on your side of the border? LMAO
The fact is, security is so much more of a concern in Canada. And we wouldn't accuse some country and/or business and/or virus without proofs.
Being fair, that's the Canadian way!
Enough patriotism for today, let's get back to writing code that won't get eigth American states in the dark... or maybe I should... mouhahaha!!!
I get it! Valve and 3D Realms are probably merging together, right now!
So, in the Half-Life'em Forever cooperative mode, Gordon and Duke are gonna save the world together... Barney will had muted in a hman/pig... you will be able to give a little cash to Alex to see her b00bs. If you shoot her, she'll bleed money and pigs will arrive... yeah, it will be... pathetic...
Did anyone at Disney has any concern about pollution? I guess they hired someone from AOHell to study the ecologic impact of such a product.
It's not the first time Disney take a decision that is dangerous for our health. Some of their former employees got crabs or some sorts of "bad hygiene sickness your girlfriend don't want you to catch" from wearing dirty Mickey Mouse suits that hasen't been washed for a LONG while (as seen in Michel Moore's The Awful Truth, Season One, Episode 3:Crackers vs. Mickey Mouse). Look like the plastic world of Disney don't really care about the rest of the world. I think I'll wash my little cousin Disney DVDs before he put one of them in his mouth. Who knows what he could catch?
I guess the frozen guy would be crying in his ice coffin if he knew his company is now spoiling the earth of his beloved childrens.

I'll agree with that, but only if the same punishment is given to spammers.
Is that a joke? I don't know...

Are you sure you can legally use the word "Words"? Ha damn, I did it too! Don't sue me, Billy!

I'm more of the "bait and fsck off" kind.
I've buyed at the current price, but I won't at an higher price.
Guess I just won't fill the remaining 5 Gb on my iPod, or I'll get copyright free music.
And I 'll just laugh when I'll hear them crying on TV.

Lol! I bet the students of the IT departement already have the source trying to crack the code! I don't think it will take more than a month!

Ho, BTW, I meant Mario Bros, not Mario Dumont...
Yeah, anyway, they are all the same! That's why I want MARIO FOR PRIME MINISTER!!! MARIO! MARIO! MARIO...
