When you're writing with a blunt tip fountain pen whose inkwell is clogged with dirt, it doesn't matter who is doing the writing. It is going to eventually end up a mess.
And for those Luddites proudly proclaiming their cellphone-free status: Your position is nonsense...
I have a cell phone, so not arguing most of your points, but this is a broad sweeping statement that is totally false for many areas. I can get local phone service for $22 / month, and I can use that to make an unlimited number of local calls 24/7. Cheapest standard cell phone plan I can get is more like $27 when you add in the SAF, and that only allows me 150 daytime minutes a month, and the "unlimited evenings" start at 8pm.
And on top of all this, personally I have a VOIP "landline", so I get unlimited long distance calling 24/7 for less than $20 / month.
I don't know about the other remarks, but I am pretty damn sure that any introduction of this law without a parody exemption would be quickly struck down in the courts, as it would be a blatant violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, specifically, "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication" - and I have a hard time believing that even Harper would have the gall to try to use the notwithstanding clause on this bill.
Wake up call - Friend or Foe is not Facebook. It is an add on application used to rank your friends list, one of several. Personally I find the whole idea of ranking people from important to not important pretentious - so I do not install those applications.
And what happens when the Kindle fails and Amazon stops selling the books? Or they release a new format and stop supporting the old one? Or any other of umpteen donzen scenarios whereby you can no longer access these "backups" Amazon so thoughtfully decides to hold for you on their own servers?
You don't have to back up a paper book because unless your house burns down (and sometimes even in that case) you will still be able to read it.
Electronic digital data is very fragile in comparison to it's analog counterpart. The benefits of that fragility however is the ability to cheaply make exact duplicate copies of the data.
When you have digital data with DRM, you have the worst of both worlds essentially.
So what you are saying is that Captain Picard time traveled back to the 15th century only to be killed by his great-great-great-great grandfather, thus completing the paradox?
Lisa: "You know, in a way, all Americans are immigrants. Except, of course Native Americans." Homer: "Yeah, Native Americans like us". Lisa: "No, I mean American Indians." Apu: "Like me!"
Your numbers are irrelevant because almost every child in the US is already vaccinated. If there was no tetanus vaccine program, then the number of people who contracted it would be much much higher.
Basically what you are saying is that even WITH vaccination programs the number of people who get tetanus is STILL HIGHER than the number of people who get autism. If anything you are just re-enforcing my argument.
Unless Google can lobby Rogers to get rid of its arcane practice of capping usage at 60GB / month for it's standard high speed, me, and around 50% of people in Canada with high speed internet, can not make any real use of this service.
It is pretty sad that a company will give you a nice 6 Mbps link only to cap you at 60 GB, which you could exceed in only 1 day of saturating your link.
You don't need statistics to show that vaccines work. it is scientifically provable.
You give someone a vaccine, they get the antibodies for the virus they didn't have before. You can see them in your blood. How do you think this stuff works?
This isn't saying anything as to whether or not the flu shot should be a required vaccine or not, IMO NO vaccine should be required by law, but up to the parent. And I have never gotten a flu shot in my life and I likely never will until I am 70 and at risk, because other wise it is just fear-mongering nonsense (the flu is not going to kill me, a healthy 28 year old. At worst I will get a 2 week paid vacation).
As for the video and the claims of vaccine causing autism in some? May or may not be true. IMO it is not the issue. Think of how many times a child cuts themselves on metal each year. The likelihood of them getting a SERIOUS case of tennis from these injuries far exceeds the likelihood of them acquiring autism.
There is a degree of risk in almost every treatment in modern science. You go into routine surgery to get your appendix removed, you might die from the anesthetic. But the risk of dying is MUCH HIGHER without treatment. No different than many vaccines - the risk of death from the disease is much higher than any risk of autism. Nearly ever kid in the US gets a huge vaccine regiment, hardly any have autism. To me, that makes the probability pretty small. Much smaller than the odds of dying from any of these eliminated diseases used to be.
This is a tool. I have been looking for a way to log my home phone calls using my WRT54G to an external samba share - but havent found code I can build for the device. Maybe I should get in touch with these guys.
PS can any hack just say they are a security researcher nowadays?
a) How old are you? I used to be able to eat 12" pizzas in single sittings and Mcdonald's 4 times a week and not gain a pound as well when I was in Univeristy 4 years ago. Trust me - it will catch up with you.
b) This is the big one and the one these books NEVER talk about. It isn't all about looks. Those foods you are eating, regardless of fat or caloric content, are loaded with LDL cholesterol which is clogging up your arteries, even if you can't notice any outward weight gain. If you don't start eating better someday, you will probably die of a heart attack before you hit 50.

What is the "wrong behavior" that it is modeling - that you shouldn't EAT PIPES?? Oh but I guess sitting down and woffing back 30 -40 cookies at one sitting is OK behavior? No wonder America is so obese.
Bloggers don't have some magical "hollywood hacker app" they use to dig up informatrion on people real time. They do what anyone with half a brain woudl do, some intelligent Google searching.
All these bloggers did was aggregate a bunch of personal info on the woman that was already public ally available. If you outlaw what they did, then you'd have to outlaw Google as well.
Once again the axiom comes home to roost - if you don't want personal data about you on the web, don't put it there - ever. Don't let companies who you do business with put it thee either. If you do it will be there FOREVER, you can't remove it.
Once these kids get out into the real world they will see why everything can not nor should be done via IM. Email has it's own virtual paper trail. I have all my work email going back 3 years - when someone questions me on a decision related to a project, I can go back to the exact conversation via Google Desktop in a matter of minutes. Sure, IM clients have logs, but from my experience they are too disorganized and unreliable for anything work-related.

You honestly think that Amazon is going to sell the Kindle and it's first generation eBook format until the end of time?
Wow. I have a plot of prime acreage in Florida to sell you.
It found my location to "within 2400 meters". It is about 2K off actually.
But I am impressed by the fact alone that it started zoomed right into my city. And I am connected with WiFi, not even GPRS.
Pretty swift if you ask me.

Ugly girl + princess outfit == Ugly girl in princess outfit. No I do not find that appealing, thanks.
If it was a HOT girl in a princess outfit, for sure.

Trust me - it's just you. That or the fact that most guys on /. have very low criteria when it comes to judging a good looking woman.
She has a huge nose, chubby face, and weird smile. And the other one has a mustache.

When you run a relatively small server room with 40 servers each with 5 drives in a raid that 5 watts turns into 1 kW fairly rapidly.
Why can't the planes own internal GPS relay their EXACT position to the ATC towers?
What am I missing?
