Canada Waives Own Rules, Helps Microsoft Avoid US Visa Problems 122
Freshly Exhumed writes Citizenship and Immigration Canada has granted an unprecedented exemption to Microsoft that will allow the company to bring in an unspecified number of temporary foreign workers as trainees without first looking for Canadians to fill the jobs. No other company in any other field has been granted such an exemption, and it does not fall within any of the other categories where exemptions are normally given, according to a source familiar with process, effectively creating a new category: the Microsoft Exemption. Microsoft Canada did not immediately respond to questions about the deal, but in an interview earlier this year with Bloomberg Businessweek, Karen Jones, Microsoft's deputy general counsel, said the deal will allow Microsoft to bypass stricter U.S. rules on visas for foreign workers. The entire issue of temporary foreign workers has been as blisteringly hot a topic across Canada as it has been in the USA.

IsoHunt Unofficially Resurrects the Pirate Bay 116
An anonymous reader writes: Torrent site isoHunt appears to have unofficially resurrected The Pirate Bay at oldpiratebay.org. At first glance, The Old Pirate Bay seems to be just a commemorative site for The Pirate Bay, which went down this week after police raided its data center in Sweden. Upon further inspection, however, it turns out the site is serving new content. This is much more than just a working archive of The Pirate Bay; it has a functioning search engine, all the old listings, and working magnet links.

Couldn't we have shocked Japan by just dropping the nuke in the nearby ocean?
One, they might have just thought it was an error. Two, nukes don't make much of an effect on oceans. Just a bit of steam. You couldn't create a tsunami with one.
At what point is it okay to kill civilians in order to save the lives of soldiers?
Not what he wrote. But by some reckonings, more Japanese civilians could have died in an invasion than were killed by the two atom bombs.
The other option was a blockade. Similar result only slower.
Of course, from a political POV it's their civilians and our soldiers, and they bloody started it. Add on top the mistreatment of prisoners and conquered civilians and I'd have made the same decision as Harry.
