as near as i can figure, those are "will be implemented later" things. keep in mind this is the first alpha release out of likely a dozen+ releases (didn't 2.3 have about 20 releases before they put out 2.4?) until they hit 2.6.
i see bell (and the ISPs they lease lines to) and rogers doing it. i see no throttling going on here (saskatchewan), unless you count shaw's caps (which they're upfront about and the caps are semi-reasonable (between 10GB and 150GB depending on the plan)).
If for one reason or another Bush and Cheney were removed from office Nancy Pelosi would become president. How many would like that? evidently more bullets are needed.
i have seen several adverse reactions to vaccines, including anaphylactic shock, none of which contained thimerosal.
i don't dismiss that vaccines might have something to do with it (our immune system can do some funky things in reaction to new stimuli), though i think the link to thimerosal can be safely ruled out.
we recognize the concept of freedom of expression, subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
they aren't speeding. the problem is that it is NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE to stop or exit the intersection before the light goes red. also, it is specifically illegal to have yellow lights that short.
yes, the problem being that the lights are being set so short, it cannot be managed reasonably.
if the light turns yellow when you've hit the "point of no return", the light will be red before you get out of the intersection, resulting in city_revenue++.
1. yes, but using that is generally politcal suicide. the federal goverment has never even used it. quebec has (their french language stuff) and alberta tried it in regards to same-sex unions (and got overruled as ultra vires).
2. where the hell are you getting that? the charter IS entrenched in the canadian constitution. perhaps you're mixing it up with the bill of rights from 1960, which was just a federal statute.
3. i would guess that's a matter of opinion.
4. yes, they can do that, but as i said, no one will, as they'll be promptly removed from office.
5. IMO, we more vigeriously defend our rights up here, as we know they are subject to limitations, and thus we will set those limitations on our own terms.
6. i never said anything about parliments being "more democratic" and our checks and balances seem to work fine.
i wasn't even trying to troll. i emphasized "technically" for a reason. there is no "freedom of speech" in the charter. the word "speech" isn't even in it. freedom of expression is technically different (it explicitly includes all forms of communication) from freedom of speech (includes only spoken word), though they're effectively the same with "speech" being reinterpreted.
unless i missed something, that declaration is non-binding.
while we don't have the freedom of speech idea, we have the broader/more accurate concept of freedom of expression, rather than reinterpreting "speech" to mean a bunch of things other than spoken word.
actually, the nursing home my grandma lives in uses this sort of thing for their advanced alzheimer's patients. they implemented it after one of them wandered out last winter and died from exposure.
same here. paypal falls under my category of evil and incompetent.
last straw was when they locked up over $1,000 of a friend of mine's money for "lack of proof of receipt of product" (said money was donations to a CS server). after a month of getting run around by them, he just took it to small claims court, won, sold the judgment to a collection agency, and cut payfoe from finances.
Now, why don't sharks get cancer? immune system again, i believe. i remember reading that their immune system is able to recognize when a cell becomes cancerous and proceeds to kill the cell before it gets anywhere.
i believe treatments to make the human immune system do the same trick have been being researched for awhile, though i haven't heard of any actually in use yet.
while the only real marketable success that they have enjoyed during that time has been the introduction of a competitive video game system. depends on how you define competitive. IIRC, they're selling the console at a good bit below cost. then again, i'm fairly sure sony is selling the ps3 below cost also, though i believe nintendo is making a profit on each wii system.

1. doesn't work to increase growth, not "doesn't work to do anything at all".
3. that's controversial in of itself.

IMO, any union communications should be privileged automatically.

no, they can afford it just fine. but they buy it in pints.
you're assuming that the camera is installed/configured properly.

those don't work

of course. we've got lots of pictures. =D
well, technically we don't have "freedom of speech". freedom of speech is not mentioned anywhere in the charter of rights and freedoms.

unless i'm mistaken, the penalties for performing civil investigation without a license is similar.

i find this thing rather questionable, considering they're putting japan down at 19th.

he mentioned in a parallel thread he's using "crocolisk" to generally refer to crocs and other closely related creatures.
