i spent most of this evening helping my friend do some DMCA take down notices and send them out to imageshack and to another site where my friends images was being used without her permission on a sex related site.
imageschack complied within 10 minutes and the other site worked over the next hour or so to remove profile pics and also cancelled the account of the person using the images without permission.
there are some provisions in the DMCA that are useful and which would be a shame to lose.

halogen? bad choice tbh, There are really only two choices of lamp types for indoor growers, high intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) and florescent lamps. Other lamps such as standard household bulbs or halogen are just not up to the job of growing cannabis. They convert most of the power they consume into heat not light or produce a light spectrum that won`t support good plant growth. .
there are even a new breed of colour balanced LED's which are becoming better by the year. i have a friend who use them in the vegetative stage then moves the plants to the other half of his growing room to use HID's in the flowering stage to great effect.
Halogens, as mentioned above and not efficient and produce a MASSIVE hear signature leading to what you state above.
growers with a brain use more efficient and balanced lighting which provide results which give not just a cheaper electricity bill but a far groovier stone!

Well that's where you are wrong. An online petition along with a facebook group and other pressures helped raise awareness and created enough stink to have The Wallace Letter returned to Scotland to be displayed in the National museum instead of sitting in a drawer in Kew archives in London.
the petition and the facebook group helped raise awareness of the issue to a point where Members of theSociety of William Wallace along with members of the Scottish government were able to negotiate it's return.
the only thing that's pathetic bud is you aloof apathy which just goes to shows your own feeling of impotence hiding behind a false assumption that you know better when there are instances which prove you wrong... this letter being one of them

well as we say here in Scotland it's more like "where there's a willie, there's a way" :P

apple fans will LOVE it! :P

Erm.. android? erm... no there is a nice simple setting where you can chose to install things not from the official android market, there are also other markets such as the app brain market for android.... so yer kinda of .. well way off the mark

we want to declare independence as that is what we want...... 69 seat majority in the Scottish parliament for the pro independence SNP
increasing rates of approval all the time
independence getting higher % of the polls each time
Also what's wrong with drawing parallels between Scotland and Norway?
Norway has roughly similar population , slightly less oil/gas reserves and is also due to it's "national oil fund" coasting easily through this recession as it has over 300 billions in the bank to help it.... what's not to like about it?(except maybe the price of a beer there..lol)
As for braveheart ~shakes head~ the only thing that film did was get people interested in the story of William Wallace
his love interest in the film , in reality, would nt be born for another 100 years, ther are many other glaring historical inaccuracies therein as well. BUT those with half a r4ain can then go on to READ more about it andfind .... Mel gibson is full of crapoica.. .. in fact him promoting the passion of the christ as "factual" whe it was written in the middle ages to foment anti-jewish feeling should be enough about that.
As for Alex Salmond.. he is a politician of high standing, clean reputation, and can run circles around anyone who debate him. i have never in my 23 years of interest in politics seen him lose a debate
you are right about the killing thogh RDW..lol as long as you man the original Danish/Swedish production and not the American remake albeit i suspect the remake of the killing will be better than the remake of the millennium trilogy :/ Alba Gu Brath agus Saor alba :P

thank fuck we have another choice in Scotland... the SNP

you mean the real Scots regiments never shown you the "dance of the flaming arseholes"?

I guess they assumed we had a "don't-ask-don't-tell" policy ;) Is that what you boys do after the sheep run away?

you've obviously never see n it.. also there is no "don't ask don't tell" policy in the Uk forces, that's a yank thing

and yeah, even being Canadian , without the airborne head dress you re a crap hat :)

True 'nuff. I got offered the jump course several times, but somehow the idea of a 1-in-10 chance of broken limbs didn't really appeal to me. Now that we've finally gotten parachutes that don't date back to medieval times I'd definitely go for it, but at the time it seemed like a loose-loose proposition. I did my jumps civvie-side, where the success of a landing isn't measured in how well you can walk after.

BWAHAHAHA typical crap hat wendy response

at a guess you got yer ass kicked by real Scottish regiments and hence the bullshit about Scotland

On that point, I'll have to concede; while we always did very well against every other nation, you lot brawl like nobody else :)

yer damned tooting we do hence a high percentage of SAS soldiers come from Scotland and their unit of origin is the Parachute Regiment. i never did the 22 selection course personally but i did do the 14 int one.. not an easy task.. 14 int has now become the S.R.R

btw yer response is in Irish not Scottish Gaelic :P
Yeah, realized that after I wrote it. Close enough!

Laughed my ass of when I got the translation of your original barb. Truly, only the Scots could come up with that kind of insult.

they have Scottish Gaelic insults online?.. bargain o hope it's use grows as that brings interest into the language. also when you live "next door" to the Sassain you kinda have need of those phrases.. as they are generally quit fitting :P

the is a method to the madness of the Scots and the fact you don't get it speaks volumes LOL
that twinned with the fact that, as a nation, Canada doesn't know what the fuck bacon actually is speaks more as well :P
