WTF? "Other people's property"? I was under the impression that the internet was developed by ARPA (DARPA) in 1969. (and a bunch of universities -- go bruins) with my tax dollars. Can the part that is owned by the tax payer (Government, Military, Public Universities, and the parts that were built with government subsidies) all be run the way "I" want? (We want)

Sorry to harp on this one, but it has been bugging me for years. In 1997, Microsoft saw that browser based computing was not only possible but in fact, the future. The idea at the time, didn't fit into their world view (read: profit stream) so they spent millions to kill Java applets, then gave the world a system that was so virus prone it has soured us against all browser based apps for over 10 years. I don't know that Mozilla will have the perfect system, or anyone will, but I do know that 'market share' will not be the defining factor in security decisions, and open standards will get us a lot further down the road.

I think the real take away (after reading the story) is that the police; Canadian or United States, look as if they are becoming the gang enforcers of Corporations. If the prosecutors can't produce evidence after 9 months then it begs the question: what evidence was demonstrated to get an arrest warrant in the first place? Show the evidence or let the guy go. Especially if he's stuck in Canada ;)

I'm sure its been said in previous comments but being from Utah (oh no, did I just Geo-tag myself?), this is 100% about politics and political party names. No one, knowing anything about Utah State Government could, would, honestly say otherwise. Its also another in a long long long list of Anti-Government Zealots Legislators insisting you do and think what they want and they will pass a law if they have to! Truly, for all who revel in human (and government) folly, look here! For Utah excels where others just fail. Thank god, Google is hiring!
