Most commenters here take care to add "IANAL" somewhere in their post. Well, if YANAL, then your pseudo-legal advice is not worth the time it takes to read it.
It is fine and dandy to suggest that others fight, countersue, challenge the legaily of [...], assert their Nth amenment rights, etc., all from the comfort of your ergonomic chair.
The question is: has anyone done it? Is there any precedent? Has anyone successfuly challenged a EULA? Has anyone successfuly fought a court battle with the BSA? Without losing an ungodly amount of money in the process?
Well? Didn't think so...
The fact is, we're all sheep and there is nothing we can do to stop the wolves from thinning the herd.
How I wish people would read it instead of just referring to it.
Specifically:
33. (1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding a provision included in section 2 or sections 7 to 15 of this Charter.
Unlike the US Consistution, there has been no widespread effort to undermine these freedoms, either
I can't find the exact reference but the Canadian law permits postal workers to open and read mail at their discression if they have reasonalble grounds to believe that the letters have some sort of connection to a crime. No warrant needed.
Many motherboards today include features that were traditionally used as add-on cards. IDE RAID controllers (usually HighPoint or Promise), sound, video, IEEE1394, etc.
I'd like to hear your opinions on what can be considered decent (or even good) on-board solutions as compared price/feature/performance-wise to their add-on counterpats.
Here's what I gathered so far:
Integrated video: The concensus seems to be "don't bother".
Integrated RAID: Several recommendations for HPT 372.
Integrated sound: nForce, C-Media (which?) are OK. AC97 is junk.
Given that their bullying tactics have made the news in Salon and Slashdot, and been plastered all over various aquarium-related special interest sites, PetsWarehouse needs to ask whether they are decreasing or increasing negative publicity by continuing to press charges. Even if they get some cash by intimidating defendants into settling, they've also earned a permanent reputation as an abusive company that responds to criticism with ridiculous legal threats.
Really? So far no printed publication has mentioned this case.

The "power" of the internet (in this case salon + slashdot) is overrated.
I think a company such as Forté could create a real standard using an encoding method similar to yEnc (it wasn't "invented" by yEnc's author, anyway). I think Agent's programmers, of all people, should know how hard it is to deal with these (non)standards, and could save themselves a lof of work in the future by making sure it's done right.
I sure hope so but i'm doubtful. It's just that in Israel the people are less vocal (or concerned).
>> Here, everyone who's sane and not a convicted criminal goes into the army at age 18
Do we live in the same country? Ever heard of yeshiva students? The last official estimate talked about >30% draft avoidance.
>> we have a society where everyone learns social responsibility and to take care of each other
What??? The one thing that bugs me here is that everybody wants to cheat everybody else. Because if you don't cheat somebody else you're a "sucker".
>> you'll see every able bodied person within 50 feet step up to try and prevent the crime.
Tell that to Nethaina shootout victims. Tell that to Gil (I forgot his last name) that was knifed in front of witnesses for asking the murderer not to scratch his car.
>> community oriented
I would laugh if it wasn't so sad. You're totally out of touch with reality.
>> Make the draft madatory
And you think Ehud Barak would do that?
>> give every one of them who wants it and doesn't have a criminal record and isn't insane a licence to carry a M-16 EVERYWHERE.
Tell that to the torched kids.
>> You'll see a much better society with rediculously low crime rates result from this.
Yea, right! What would the drivers that scream and threaten each other over right-of-way do then?
>> Israel [...] is the most densly populated country in the world.
Really? Let's check some countries at http://194.95.119.6/basis/e/ausl/ausllae1.htm * Israel: 273 inhabitants/km^2 A bit crowded but look at our neighbour: * Lebanon: 300 inhabitants/km^2 Or other european countries: * Belgium: 334 inhabitants/km^2 * The Netherlands: 383 inhabitants/km^2 Going east... * Republic of Korea: 460 inhabitants/km^2 * Taiwan: 599 inhabitants/km^2 And finally: * Singapore: 5549 inhabitants/km^2 * Hong Kong: 5788 inhabitants/km^2

Can anyone please provide (or point to) a good comparison between the latest versions of Mozilla and Opera?

Could you lpease elaborate on that?
I was under the impression that the "loser pays" model is not implemented in North America.
How does it affect the system resources?
I got my domain name from eNom through a reseller
So far I'm happy with my decision.

hah! We're Canadian! Such frivolous lawsuits would never occur in our great nation!
What makes Canada different?
Remember, the defendant said he and his lawyer were confident they would win the case; he just didn't have the resources to fight.
