Well, as a *married* Canadian man, all I can say is, "where do I sign up?"
The few, the proud, the Canadian expeditionary sex force, sent to save lonely British women from the easily distracted British househusbands stuck to the telly.
And the Bush restrictions are out the window once he's President, along with $4000 a year for college students who sign up to work in hospitals or the peace corps.
So I wouldn't worry about the privacy restrictions being in effect for very long.
Think someone may have YouTubed it - I was there for three hours and just got back.
At least when I critique performance I post with a name.
Look, most of our code is either Perl or C code - graphics is a total waste of time in genetics, except when displaying result sets on another computer... some of our jobs take weeks to run (you try running 5000 people thru DNA genetics statistics packages...)
Your mileage may vary - if we played games on them, perhaps WinVista might be closer - but we don't, so it isn't.
Most of our people use PINE instead of WebPine, for example - we just want the files.
As a raging pedant i must point out that in the UK you have to be over 18 to buy alcohol.
Oh. Dang, when I was in the UK all the vending machines in the hotels said 16 - I seem to recall this was one of my high school's high points in London...
In France, it's legal to drink when you're 6. If your parents say you can. At 16 it's legal to drink without their permission.
And 16 is drinking age in the UK too.
How do you know it's underage? When I was in the military, federal drinking age was 18, so while it might be 21 in the state I was in, I can drink on base at 18.
We tried running Vista and it was, on average, twice as slow as XP, so we just gave up and won't install it on any boxen in our labs.
We have real work to do and shelling out cash for graphics cards we don't need for an OS that runs even slower is a total waste of time.
Most of our boxen are now Linux-only or Linux/XP dual boot now - performance matters, and making it only 45 percent slower than XP when it was 50 percent slower won't cut it in a production environment.
Now, true, half my friends post pics of their drunken parties (yo! Aislinn and Katelyn! love the pics!), but so far I'm not in any of the pics, and I happen to know some of my friends are not the people they say they are...
Nobody trusts the man, man. We all realize you're all pervs.
One is a problem. Two is a coincidence. Three is a mystery. Four is suspicious. Five is a coordinated and planned pre-emptive attack by President Cheney on Iran, dragging the US into yet another war based on lies. Six is... wow, I didn't know they had that many cables to Iran!
Oh, I don't know, after the track record since Ike, it looks to me like if you don't mind ruinous debt, unneeded foreign wars, and expansion of government crony contracts - then sure, voting GOP makes perfect sense.
Or you could be a patriot and vote for any of the Dems and save our country instead.
I agree that you'd have to be crazy to support Ron Paul.
But you'd have to be crazier to support any of the other GOP candidates who want to drive this country into hundred year wars, massive debt, the destruction of the middle class, and our eventual third world nation status if they win.
What if there's a revolution going on in Iran and they cut their own cables?
It's not that hard to arrange, and it would cut them off from any media coverage while nobody could communicate to the media without becoming very visible and easy to arrest...
Remember what happened in Bhurma when the monks revolted - they cut the Tubes to the Internets.
Bing - no pics of people revolting - and they could quell it successfully by killing a few people and beating or imprisoning the rest.
It's not always what you think. Sometimes it's different...
Al Qaida never uses electronic communications in ops, not in successful ones, anyway. The 9-11 attackers, and bin Laden himself, only used face-to-face communications.
They do use encrypted images to send basic updates while on task, though.
Usually limited to specific messages like "go to ground" "abort" that kind of thing.
That way they can be browsing a Net image of a nice car, save it to a disk or USB, and decrypt it when they're in a safe spot - which is totally normal behavior for someone viewing an image who wants to save the cool picture.
Um, did anyone remember to go to the sub-sub-basement and see if there's anything on display in the bottom of the locked filing cabinet in the disused bathroom?

Canadian men would just laugh in your face.
... sigh .. sadly would probably go for it, but would try to get you to make it a 72 inch HDTV.

So if I post a Facebook pic of me and teen friends getting drunk on our trip to France ...
What's your damage?
And that includes the charities that spend 97 percent of the money they fundraise on "executive compensation".
Sigh.
I'm not surprised politicians are exempting themselves from the Do Not Call list in a law they pass, though.

This news is making me think of bailing from Yahoo and going to Google and Real.
It's a shame, as I've loved Yahoo, but if need be, consumers don't have to stick around on the Web.
Unless you have been reading the literature and noticing that the rates of Gonorrhea, Syphilis and other sexually-transmitted diseases have gone up.
From that perspective, considering many of these are now drug-resistant strains, it's not really encouraging news.
If you mean they do not carry a sufficient load of antigens and viral packets, then perhaps this is the case.
If you mean they carry such a low number that they are unlikely (below 1 percent) to infect someone through non-invasive sex, then I could see that.
If you mean the virus is basically in a semi-dormant stage, then sure.
But that does not mean the risk factor is 0.000000001 percent. It means it's most likely a very small number.
Inquiring minds want to know ...
No, the minority GOP who can block the impeachment took it off the table.
Facts are like rocks - if you hold them up to the light, you see things.
Just as I want to Yahoo to avoid AOL and Microsoft, I can easily bail from Yahoo should the deal go thru.
I have no loyalty anymore - if a software web portal stops working for me, I can ditch it with just one URL.
Well, Thomas Paine - he did not go by Tom, by the way - was also a bit of a nutter.
... and the lack thereof indicates a post written in haste.
I find the use of paragraphs indicates taking a breath between thoughts
Our nation has had enough with GOP solutions, all of which amount to putting our nation in a race to the bottom, while piling on massive debt.
Oh, I don't know, after the track record since Ike, it looks to me like if you don't mind ruinous debt, unneeded foreign wars, and expansion of government crony contracts - then sure, voting GOP makes perfect sense.
Or you could be a patriot and vote for any of the Dems and save our country instead.
It's your choice.
But don't pretend it doesn't have consequences.
I agree that you'd have to be crazy to support Ron Paul.

The countries internet connection is hanging by a thread, and you slashdot their university. Smooth move, asshole.
You're assuming he's not working for the NSA.
If you were, posting such a link might be intentional.
Never assume the friendly repairman at your door in a secure location is there to help you.
And a traceroute from within the US shows the traffic going to Paris (te10-2.passe1.Paris.opentransit.net) before Iran.
We already have an Echelon listening station in the Paris location, so that means we get both NATO feed and US feed of all traffic to/from Iran.
