CBC has permission to do that though, from CNN. It's CNN that did not have permission to sublicense the way they did (or at all, who knows). So why this guy is suing the CBC is beyond me
Can't believe this modded +4 informative. This is not informative at all.
Concerning Iraq, the US did not offer any kind of deal with Iraq to normalize relations, expand trade, or all the other peace-time feel-good stuff the US offered to Iran.
You're essentially saying that:
"Iraq, we're fairly confident that you have restarted a WMD program that we can't actually prove. Stop it, or we bomb you"
and
"Iran, we will lift harsh economic sanctions in return for greater international control over your nuclear program"
are the same thing. They are not.
Concerning Libya, the US did not offer Libya anything at all, and the US certainly did not start the civil war in Libya. They just joined in a bit later, dropped a few bombs, and that was that.
If you just say "sanctions, in perpetuity", then no that won't accomplish much.
So yes, the sanctions worked. It forced Iran to the table, and now they have a deal. So the next time the West decides to punish a country, at least that country knows there is a way out if they do something to change.
> Don't use Uber,Lyft,AirBnB, etc. if you don't agree with their methods, don't work for them if you don't agree. simple. only those that agree on both sides of the transaction will be involved. No one is being required to take Uber instead of a taxi. I have never used them, I will probably never use them, but just let people decide on their own.
I love these American-style arguments of individualism as they are always based on the availability of choice.
Choice never lasts which is why regulations are needed in the first place.
For starters, I was not able to find any way with what I had at my disposal to setup a standing desk without having to look downwards all day long. Having your head tilted down all day is bad. The company doesn't want to buy us new monitors (I'm still on a 19in 4:3 Acer that only does VGA) and at the time, my laptop was too small to push far away. So I really had no means of being able to type comfortably, and look straight ahead at what I was doing.
Secondly, being 6'7 (200cm), standing up is a bit awkward in a cubicle environment. While cubicles are not 100% private, they at least offered some illusion of privacy. Standing up however, there is no question about it. You're pretty much out in the open. Kinda sucks to feel like everyone is looking at you.
So to get my standing, I just go out for a cigarette;)
> I don't really have very strong feelings in this debate, but that kind of protesting isn't acceptable. Standing outside a government building or your company's HQ to protest, that's perfectly fine. However, once you start interfering with other people's lives (who aren't involved in this at all), I view that as unacceptable and utterly puerile. While I don't call for arrests like the other people who've posted ahead of me, I do hope the police force open the roads.
Democracy is about convincing the voting public. If you annoy the voting public so much, that they call on the government to give in just to shut up the protesters, then it's a job well done!
Of course though, it's a gamble. the police could use questionable (potentially illegal) strong-arm tactics to remove the protesters, with the blessing of the annoyed public. But this is France, a very pro-union country that regularly sees strikes by the public sector, and often with the public's support.
> It's a pity that most folks either don't or won't realize this...
Most folks do realize it. They also realize how it's not really that great of an idea in the 21st century and that some collectivism/socialism is a necessity in a modern state in order to help individuals achieve success.
no one cares about you, and your download pages full of ads and big bright green fake download buttons. The only thing you can do that would be of any value, is something akin to the old Walnut Creek FTP site.
Microsoft is pushing.net in directions no one thought it would five years ago in terms of being an open development platform. I think this will help boost c# popularity if anything. C# is a nice language to work with, and Visual Studio is a nice IDE to work with for the most part (it's virtual filesystem has got to go, and needs better RCS integration a la Eclipse).
While Angular and React might be all the rage today, you're expected to be an expert in whatever framework comes out tomorrow.
You should be able to write the same Todo List application several thousand times, justifying the existence of each one.
You should also demonstrate a strong desire to re-implement every single piece of software in existence in Javascript, including Linux (http://bellard.org/jslinux/), 8bit Console Emulators (https://fir.sh/projects/jsnes/), and possibly the software that drives your Kuerig. For example, I would expect you to tell me that you're just dying to start a new github project where you'll re-implement MS Flight Simulator 10 in Javascript, and how awesome the cockpit checklist feature will be.
You must demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of the differences between asynchronous and concurrent, and you must also be able to give a short presentation on what "web scale" means, without being able to explain it. You'll probably win a few favors by throwing in the term "cloud".
This and more, is what it takes to be a 21st century javascript developer.
Americans have to understand that Canadians actually more than one or two ISPs to choose from in all major cities. Granted, most lease their infrastructure from the big players (Bell, Videotron, Shaw, Rogers, and I believe Cogeco), but those smaller ISPs still compete for customers.
If TekSavvy turns around and advertises the fact that they are an ISP willing to standup for their customers that would work well in their favour I'd imagine.
I don't understand why Microsoft wants to make a browser so badly. The consumer world has moved on to Firefox and Chrome and Safari and this is propogating through the enterprise world now.
What is the business case for having your own browser? So that bing can be the default search engine?
this is a fantastic video that demonstrates how stupid this court case is. when debating music originality with people, I often make them watch that video and this TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
There may be only 12 notes on on the western scale, but only certain combinations of those notes actually sound good.

A stronger cultural acceptance for certain minorities over others?
I have three computers connected to two monitors and one set of keyboard/mouse.
I use a tool called Synergy to share my keyboard/mouse across all machines.
The upside is that it's super simple, low latency, and free (though I did pay the $10 the dev asked for because it's such a great tool)
The downside is that I need the computer hosting the synergy server to be on. But this has not been a downside for me.

I personally find KDE5 to be superior in most ways.
The idea that all consumers have all the choices in the world, is patently false. This is a tired argument and I wish people would stop making it
Not after Harper wrecked the thing to pieces.
And even if they did, CBC should just turn around and sue CNN for misleading them into a dangerous situation.
CBC has permission to do that though, from CNN. It's CNN that did not have permission to sublicense the way they did (or at all, who knows). So why this guy is suing the CBC is beyond me
What fiendish method of communication is a Slack DM?
If ALL you want to do, is watch your media on your TV, then get a Raspberry Pi + wifi dongle, and share your media drives on your LAN.

It only works if you actually offer an out.

> but also because I can get much better sound quality out of headphones for a fraction of the price of comparable speakers.
Doubtful. The distance between your ears and your headphones are far from long enough to experience lower frequencies.
First you point out:
> You may be, you may not be, but you are not in the position to make that determination.
But then you:
> I'm sorry you're too simple minded to understand that some people are not worth letting live, but thats the reality of it.
so what position do you have to make these determinations?
