Have the captcha page displays some really good porn video footage - drawn from a huge repository of suitable images (say, the rest of the internet). The clips are fairly long (say 3-5 mins or so). To pass the captcha the user merely has to click on a button at the right time.
So, if the user clicks right away, its a bot. if there is a suitable pause (say 3-5 mins), then its more likely human :P

Well why do you think there is so much talk and push to store your data in "the cloud"? Once all your data is backed up in the cloud they can just cut off your access to it and then scan it at their leisure :P

No thats up here in Canada. We are taking our lead from the UK and US mind you, the Harper Regime is all about removing personal privacy these days.

To cause havoc and/or gain access to the nuclear weapon on board a train, I just have to have a well timed attack on the tracks its on. To do the same with the truck I have to actually attack the truck and its escort vehicles. The vehicle can be rerouted to avoid a potential ambush much more readily than the train can. I would guess that might be a contributing factor in the decision on transport means.

And as Hollywood has shown us, LA is clearly a major deployment destination for all Nuclear weapons :P

It will be the media lobbies, they have been trying to chip away at Canadian law for years. They are making the same attempts at other countries and of course in the US. I am sure they own the Conservatives in the same way they seem to own or influence a lot of other governments.
This bill should be retitled "The Eliminate All Electronic Privacy Act" to reflect its real purpose.

Despite all the spite and screaming against Apple that will populate this thread, I thought I would point out that people are *still* judging the iPad as if it were a laptop.
Its perfect for what it is: a tool that is great for certain uses, and not for others. I wouldn't do programming on one, its not suited to it - even if you use a keyboard - in my opinion but if I want to view images, watch TV off the net, use Netflix, its a perfect tool. Its well designed, performs well, seems fairly bug free, easy to use, quite portable, has good if not great battery life etc.
All that said, my wife bought an iPad, and stopped using her netbook entirely at the same time. It is serving all her needs - including writing (using a keyboard mind you) quite well, and I have yet to hear a complaint.
If I had a need for one, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one myself. I am however a desktop person. I hate laptops, netbooks etc. I might get an iPad at some point but I will most likely never buy a laptop or netbook.

From what I can see, Universities in Canada are now more about making money and less about education. Not that you can't get a good education in the process but they are very focused on maximizing the amount of money generated.
At University of Victoria, they added an Engineering Department, it got a brand new building, tons of funding etc, and the reasoning at the time was that it would generate revenue via patents etc.
Meanwhile the Fine Arts department languished in the same ancient Quonset huts it had been in for 20 years or more, and didn't get a building of its own for another 10 years or so.
Students these days pay as much for 1 years tuition as I did for 3 years or more back in the late 70s/early 80s. I used to spend about $200 on all my books for a year, now some books cost over $100 easily.
I think the Businessification (if I can coin a term) of the University system is only going to continue sadly.

"HARPER IS AN ASSHOLE" - they should print that on the next issue of our money up here in Canada. I couldn't agree more. Like Bush he has some vision in his head of the way things should be, and he is going to ram it through into law until he succeeds. Since he now has a majority government, thats probably just a matter of waiting for it to happen.
If the laws the Conservatives are pushing through Parliament at the moment are passed, Canada is no longer the "Home of the Free", period.

Oh I have zero doubt this is about filesharing and getting the Canadian Government to foot the bill on behalf the MAFIAA. The entertainment industry has put a lot of effort (and money) into getting government support to change our laws concerning file sharing to be more draconian. I am sure the bribe money has been quite effective, although admittedly this government seems willing to do whatever business - or the US administration - tells it to do.
Nonetheless, the Canadian public seems fairly opposed to this legislation (C-30 and others). However the Conservatives have a majority and I am sure they will force it all through no matter what objections are raised.
