    And that's why I hope my Sugar Linux XO laptop arrives as promised this month after a lengthy manufacturing delay.

    Re: I love Mexico
    I hope you're enjoying yourself Derek, truly. I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't have fun in Mexico. I'd also be lying if I didn't say the stuff I said in my post. Course, I'd suggest people do that in a place other than Mexico until Brenda is fre...

    [Linux] [Life] [Politics]     I will soon be a criminal

    ... and so will pretty much everyone else in Canada.

    The Canadian DMCA as recently tabled this week in the House of Commons will make criminals of us all. Share files online? Get ready to pay or go to jail. Unlocking the cell phone you paid for? Get ready to pay or go to jail. Encrypt your e-mail to have some semblance of privacy? Get ready to pay or go to jail. Buy a CD or DVD and then copy it to your iPod? Get ready to pay or go to jail.

    The DVD player in my house is on a Linux-based computer that uses an open-source DVD player. Soon, everytime I watch a DVD (that I legally bought from a store and OWN) in my house I'll be committing a Federal crime.

    Please help stop this insanity. Write your MP and join the Facebook group. I've done both - it takes two minutes.

    P.S. - Strike two, Mr. Harper.
