Actually, I was for the war, but not in the method it was initiated.
Other nations collectively enforce international law - which gets thrown out the window in overbalanced situations such as this, leaving only moral suasion, which the US ignored.
And the 1991 war never ended, absolutely true. That war, however, was a UN action, not a US one, and only the UN Security Council could re-escalate, without the Iraqis provoking. The US did not gain that approval from the Security Council, and therefore can't use the 1991 war as grounds for continuing conflict.
Either the 1991 action is in place, in which case it's the UN's call, or the US follows international law for starting a war and gets UN approval. Neither happened, so it was technically an illegal war. Immoral, not by my judgement, but still illegal.
It has nothing to do with sovereignty, and everything to do with international law. You know, that thing ALL countries that sign up to are bound by. That thing the US violated by resuming conflicts without either UN approval (resumption of hostilities by the UN side under the UN mandate requires security council approval, if you aren't attacked first) or being attacked first (it's legal to declare war if you are attacked first - and no, 9/11 wasn't done by the nation of Iraq, so no dice there).
Fair enough, it could have been seen as a godsend/easy out for our shamefully overtaxed/undersupplied military. Even now, that scuttled helicopter purchase frosts my shorts.
Hardly. We're not blinded by flagwaving and being led around by the nose into wars that shouldn't have been waged in the way they were.
We were right beside the US until the US decided "fuck the UN". That's where we draw the line.
Unfortunately, you're too blinded to see the truth, and amusingly call our clearer vision "navel gazing" - which is what I suspect you meant, as staring at ships isn't related to nihilism.
We're 1/10th the size of the US. At the time, possibly even smaller, as we've embarked on agressive immigration since WW2. Our casualties were proportional to theirs.
Also of note is that during WWI, 3/10ths of the adult male Canadian population served in the war, and 56,500 were killed, 149,700 wounded. Hell, at Vimy Ridge we had 10,000 casualties and deaths in one day, out of 100,000 men there. We've always shouldered our share.
That would be correct - if I, as the sharer, were doing the copying. I'm not, the downloader is, so he is making a "private copy" which is OK. I'm not making a copy at any time, so I can't be making one for distributing or making a copy for communicating to the public.
Hm. That's just asinine enough for our government to have passed... legalize only one half of the copying action (I have to let you borrow it to copy it in the first place, obviously).
Certainly bears some more reading, thanks for the pointer.
On a side note - it is also possible to get a media levy exemption. My friend's workplace makes custom presentations, and goes through CDR's like mad, and they got such an exemption.
The one word "personal". I admit, I glossed past it.
I had understood that he preferred to use Eudora instead of OE, for work. If he's pulling in unfiltered mail, then yeah - I can see the problem, and I have no sympathy for him on that front.
His data people seem to be ass-backwards about it though. From his phrasing, the problem is that he's using Eudora for his personal mail - not that he's getting personal (unfiltered) mail at all. As long as you pull in clean mail (and your bosses are fine with you doing a modicum of personal items at work, which most are), then I don't care what you use to read it... but it better be secure.
What was his response when you pointed out his mail server wasn't filtering the damn viruses in the first place?
The software you run has nothing to do with if people send you viruses. The SMTP server is supposed to block them... or does this guy think it's actually feasible to do endpoint virus filtering?
Sorry, but I've seen too many people learn how to kill off their virus scanners because they think it's slowing their system down to a crawl. (Of course, it's not that Bonzi Buddy's fault, no - it's that pesky antivirus program)
I had a similar experience, except I had the misfortune of working in a building dating back to 1893.
Wood floors, big spaces... and above us, crack addict tenants.
One day, I sat down to start work, started typing, and dozens of baby roaches started to flee out of the keyboard. Most disgusting thing ever. That keyboard got flung out the window, to the accompanyment of much swearing.
Yes, but what he's saying is that it's the VoIP that makes such a business model feasible. That way, they can buy much cheaper bulk IP data, and shunt it all over the country, connecting the ends with local calls, and still cost less.
Naturally, the actual telcos don't like losing their highest profit percentage traffic, even if the other guys are doing it by the exact method they are.
Your power company analogy has nothing to do with this, as the ISP's that are suffering ARE NOT SELLING TO SPAMMERS. They are being overloaded by spammers, not profiting from them.
The ISPs that are getting annoyed aren't the ones writing the pink contracts. They're the ones that are being victimized by spammers on other ISP's who did write pink contracts.
Not quite correct. They decide to list, and delist, people based on their criteria. They decide how you will contact them when you get listed - or decide to make it absolutely impossible to reliably contact them, and decide to mock you/nitpick the minutae of your phrasing when you fall back on posting to nanae.
And many of them decide, quite clearly, to be assholes.
You don't think it's possible for a group to change what makes you like them over the dozens of other similar bands, when they start "making it big", and having things they used to have to do themselves done by professionals who "know better"?
Obviously, purely manufactured bands don't fall into this "degradation by overproducing" but I don't think the comment you're laughing about is impossible. They could have been good when small, and now are bad - for whatever reason.

Not necessarily encryption, but more likely signing.
They could, but the flowrate doesn't look great - they say it'll suffice for ~120-150W constant power dissapation.
Since the PSU is 300-400W these days, that's possibly 4 pumps that would be needed... and if each pump draws 75W, then you have a problem.
Basically, if it can't push the water to cool X watts without using more than 10% of X, I think it won't work for a 100% fanless system.
I read through the PDF, too - 200V? I don't recall a 200V output on my PSU.:) Didn't see any current figures in there either, but perhaps they expect you to derive that from the formula.

No, making a personal copy is expressly legal here.
The method of copying is irrelevant. Since you make the copy of somebody else's music, you are within legal bounds. Read the linked article.
Pretty much. It's because the downloader is creating the copy for themselves.
I can't create a copy FOR you, but I can allow you to copy my music (as in, my CD's, or other music that I've made private copies of).
For more information, take a look here.

AFAIK, caning is "corporal punishment", not capital. Capital = death, corporal = physical.
And I agree - bring back the cane!

Whoops! Forgot to close my blockquote. The first line is theirs, the second line is mine.
No, MB is short for megabyte.
M is "mega", not MG. There is no "G" in byte. As well, capital B for byte, small b for bit.
No, you just aren't getting it.

Blackhole lists don't decide anything.

The whole article is about pumps with no moving parts, to make them supersilent.
They could, but the flowrate doesn't look great - they say it'll suffice for ~120-150W constant power dissapation.
