So yeah, pot is illegal in Canada entirely because of the US. Its like this in most countries.
I would say it's entirely Canada's fault for not being able to be self-sufficient, and electing leaders who negotiate your trade agreements. If Canada hates our policy so much, don't trade with the US. We're not forcing Canada to trade with us. Elect leaders who will do what the people want, and stop complaining that it's someone else's fault.
After all, if a house is burgled and the tagged person's data says they were there at the time and date of the crime it would be pretty difficult to protest innocence.
1. Kidnap offender with tag
2. Burgle house
3. Profit!
If the software had been free, with a brief trial before a subscription stage, or if the software had cost, but the game was free to play, I might have given it a shot.
most people would probably suggest positive results be given an extra-high-intensity scan just to confirm it with a clearer image
I would suggest just turning the sucker up to 11-thousand when you initially scan the perp for the database. Problem solved. Hopefully they don't use one of those lame machines that only goes up to 10-thousand.
All they photochopped were three of the screens, two of which were blank (one says "loading") and one of which looks like it's staring directly at a bright light.
But why even do that? Why take the risk of people figuring out it's been PS'd, because that usually generates even more bad press. I don't think the sinister-ness of the PS job is the issue really, but rather it's that this sort of disinformation and white-lying is part of the culture of BP, so much in fact that they probably do it now without even realizing what they're doing. They've become so comfortable with bending the truth that it's all they can do. Who cares if one of the screens says "loading"? Why is that SO big of an embarrassment to them that they need to PS it out and risk the backlash? It's not. It's not embarrassing at all. Sometimes computers say "loading" -- everyone knows that. It's just that lying is such and ingrained part of their corporate culture that they don't even know when to stop..
The only bullshit part of it is that the fact you were arrested shows up on any criminal background check. It's the kind of thing that could deny you employment in the future. Sure, you can explain why the arrest happened, and most management types will listen to your explanation and decide "he's an activist troublemaker who might rock the boat, a loose cannon" and throw your application in the trash.
I have a feeling that this sort of thing actually helps a journalist's resume...
Yes, original papers...that people are then buying and passing off as their own work.
But if the author of that paper says I have the right to do so, do I not have the right? In fact, I actually have written the paper, I just used a remote typewriter controlled by a proxy instead of an actual pencil. My actions directly caused the paper to be written, hence I can attribute ownership to myself. It's the same as if I threw paint on a turntable, which flung it onto the wall, and it happened to spell out some words. I wrote those words, even though the turntable is the one who actually delivered the ink to the medium. And I can copyright those words, because I wrote them, hence I own them, hence no plagiarism.
attacking an individual's personal life for what he does in public I find offensive
I do not find it offensive in the least. You don't get to do whatever you want and hide behind the "It's just business, nothing personal" excuse. You are responsible personally for any business you conduct whether it be private, public, business, or personal. You are complicit in everything you do. I don't want to hear about how the lawyers are just doing it to put food on their family's table. You really think the guy who owns the law firm is just barely scraping by? These guys are just greedy fuckwads, plain and simple. And they are supporting an entire industry of greed and abuse. It doesn't matter if it's legal or not. There are plenty of things that are technically legal that are not ethical. Just because it's legal doesn't mean you should do it. I say fuck them and their personal lives.

now it's just the buses fueled with CNG
Well that's a relief!
Ignore this guy. I will happily sell you a first-class seat on my spaceship for $100,000. Cash or money-order only, please.
in fairness to facebook, when you hear the name "teachbook" doesn't that make you immediately think "facebook for teachers"?
When you hear the name "Textbook" does that make you think "facebook for texts"?
"PowerPC dildo deluxe"
I'll take 3, please.
Anybody else find it scary that there is a cloud obscuring the site and pretty much nothing else?
That's no cloud...

Uh, it did have a free 5-hour demo.

So how is this any different than existing HDDs?
I'm guessing existing HDDs aren't bit-pattered.
Let's reserve terms like "retard" for people who aren't behaving irrationally out of fear for their lives.
I reserve the term "retard" for anyone who isn't me.

Hell, they don't give a shit about stolen cars either and those are worth quite a bit more than a laptop.
Speak for yourself.
I don't know, I think I'd take 3 months in jail over a 675k or even a 67.5k "fine"
Assuming 3 ass-rapes per day, I think it works out to about 270 ass-rapings total. Doesn't seem like such a good deal to me...
Bands/promoters don't have to use Ticketmaster.
Tell that to Pearl Jam.
Just wanted to share that helium is for more than balloons.
Lungs aren't balloons?

with quite a bit of physics saying that such a design will never be able to achieve breakeven at any scale
Because physics has never been wrong about anything, ever.
I don't think so
Why not?
Wait. There's millions of them?!?! Is the bottom of the ocean going to be large enough?

One should never choose a lower level language than necessary only because it is hard core
However, if the lower level language is punk, it is imperative to choose that one.
"Neuromancer: The Movie" will look like it's just following in the footsteps of dated crappy cyberpunkish movies.
Ah the insightful words of a true visionary...
If everybody thought like you did, we wouldn't even have sci-fi to begin with.
Next thing you know Volition will make their own horse game. Paint's Row?
