  2. Re:OS X not that bad. on Windows Vista, More Than Just a Pretty Face · · Score: 1

    Windows Vista it will be possible to implement Exposé properly-with live window updates and low system overhead

    That sentence on its own could be read to imply that Vista does these things in contrast to OS X. i.e. Expose was not implemented properly (although anyone that has used it, knows that is false)

    If the Chinese economy is flattened, America's goes too. All that wonderful natioanl debt is funded by China and all those wonderful cheap items are made there. America is utterly beholden to China.

    Horseshit. There are many countries that the US could never conquer. Russia and China come to mind.

    I can call him a fat drunken slob

    Attaturk had a pretty severe alcohol dependence too. Although, in Turkey it is downplayed pretty heavily. He wasn't fat though.

    The law in Turkey is actually quite new. It cam into effect in 2005.

    I once joked with my friend, as I dropped him and his Turkish wife off at the airport so they could go to visit Turkey, that I expected some stuffing as a gift. She yelled at me and accused me of being a racist.

    Even so, we at least have the colossal distinction of being the first country on Earth to have the power to militarily conquer the world

    So...what happened in Iraq?

  13. Re:Super-Secret Uber Hacking Thing-a-ma-whatsit on Turkey Censors YouTube · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anything that "insults" Turkishness is illegal in Turkey. It makes for some very odd behaviour. For example, their most famour novelist was recently tried in the courts because he admitted (while in SwitzerlandO) that he believed that Turkey played a role in the Armenian Genocide. Participation in genocide is construed as insulting Turkishness and thus prosecutable. My friend married a Turkish woman and she is the most nationalistic person I've ever known. She will not tolerate any jokes or snide comments about Turkey.

  14. Re:David Wilkins.. on U.S. Senators Pressure Canada on Canadian DMCA · · Score: 1

    Canada did request a clarification regarding the justification for Arar being on the no-fly list. Since our inquests showed him to be unrelated to terrorism entirely, the government wanted to have the American rationale disclosed. The Americans promptly told us to go shit in our fist and stay out of their domestic affairs.

    Charming, no?

    Well, if I susbcribe to your idea that Canadian piracy hurts the movie industry bottom line (which I don't, but for the sake of argument I will concede), then would it not benefit Canadians to pirate films as much as possible up to the point that the industry collapses? You know, since more movies will be shot in Canada, since it is cheaper, in order to keep profits up.

  16. Re:Canada's response on U.S. Senators Pressure Canada on Canadian DMCA · · Score: 1

    I wrote to my MP, David McGuinty, about changes to the Copyright laws over six weeks ago. All I asked was for him to clarify his position regarding the changes. Still no response. Bev Oda is the Minister for Heritage, contact her and demand that she tell these uncircumspect Americans to fuck off. (I wrote to her too, and still bupkis)

    More like the USA won't. It is really a matter of priority. Bush and his cadre are focused on their idiodic Persian Excursion.

    The 'scientists' accepting these payments don't have any real credibility. They do however have PhD's and work for official sounding institutes which gives the air of credibility for an incurious public (their audience).

    In fact, many of the same 'scientists' that worked for Big Tobacco have signed on to shill for Big Oil. There was an expose of this on CBC's The Fifth Estate.
