Brian Burke was fired for being a crappy GM. Also, I heard Brian Burke was fired for wearing dresses at practice and pretending to be a pretty ballerina.
But mostly because the Leafs sucked under his mis-leadership (true statement). He couldn't even manage to pull off a winning season last year (true statement).
...the native advertising. Most of it is noise since I'm unlikely to make life decisions based upon an advert or blipvert (for those of you old enough to get the ref).
I do wish the poppy-uppy thing at the bottom would allow me to open the link in a new tab, since I'm usually not done reading the page I was on when it pops up.
But really, just more of the same from our government. Problem is, we are just continuing the policies of previous administrations because the civilian employees making these decisions never get shuffled out due to seniority, a perceived ability to 'do the job', and union contracts.
What I wouldn't give to see a purge in DC... maybe then we could have some real discussions about what is right for the country (in the best interests of the CITIZENS instead of the lobbyists).
Agree with the majority of the comments here. This makes good sense for many companies, especially when employee machines have access to sensitive information and many some email clients automatically render attachments and active elements.
MiM can bite me. I was over there defending our country and *this* is their contribution? Put up or shut up, Morality in Media. How many of you have fought for our country or signed up for other full-time public service? If your contribution to this world is to sit back and sling road apples at other people perhaps it is time to take a long hard look at yourselves.
I heard that someone said "OISE and the TDSB need to be purged, or burnt to the ground"
Dear Toronto Police Services officers; please to bring a dozen donuts and a cup of coffee when you leave your country to interview me. Grab some of that sweet sweet Quebecois maple syrup on the way past, too, please.
When I read the title I was *SO* hoping that Techdirt was included in the list. Maybe if we push it along a bit...
Paul Duffy's action make him sound like an asshat.
That oughta do it. I really want to see what he plans to do with the list, given that he does not appear to have requested the text of the comments. Asshat.

I don't know if Teri Buhl broke the law or not when she published the contents of an underage girl's private journal, but it sure sounds like Teri Buhl broke the law because publishing the contents of an underage girl's private journal might be illegal somewhere. Of course, only a court can determine if Teri Buhl broke the law, and far be it from me to even speculate that Teri Buhl broke the law. I probably would not want to be Teri Buhl if a court finds that Teri Buhl broke the law, because then it would be a fact that Teri Buhl broke the law. Also, she doesn't seem to understand The Streisand Effect.
First, couldn't see much of anything except the article so I checked AdBlocker and ScriptBlocker. Wowzers, probably five linear inches of things wanting to run scripts. Temporarily allowed TC and their scripting service, but still couldn't see any comments. Didn't feel like allowing the rest of the world to drop trackers on me just so I could *read* the responses to the new policy. Sorry TC, I realize you need to monetize but there needs to be a reason to visit in the first place. News I can get anywhere, I like reading comments from people.
If I hire Christopher Dietz to perform remodeling, I can get sued because there is a possibility that he might not complete the work properly? Gee, I would not want Christopher Dietz to sue me simply because he may not have completed the work to the customer's satisfaction. In fact, it seems like Christopher Dietz suing a previous customer in small claims court, and then in the Virginia Supreme Court about possibly shoddy workmanship is a bad thing. If this is true, then I should make a note to never hire Christopher Dietz because he could sue me after possibly not completing the work that he was contracted to perform to the customer's satisfaction. Lesson learned. I have never hired contractor and remodeler Christopher Dietz, but, had I hired him and then found that he sued me, I WOULD NEVER HIRE Christopher Dietz AGAIN.
But these new rules regarding multiple items really annoy me so I am looking around to other funding platforms (maybe IGG). I frequently purchase extra copies of things to give as gifts to family and friends (just bought another 3 DVD sets of Firefly at $8/set for Xmas) so this new rule really only hurts me, the backer. Based upon the many comments I have read, the 'add on' process is convoluted and a hassle for both sides.
Additionally, the new Risks and Challenges are clearly an attempt at CYA by KS management, but are nonsensical and basically worthless.
I heard that

The Colin Firth version was better
if you ignore the gigantic gaping maw of a plot hole through the center of the earth.
I don't mind

I'd say I'm sick of this

Sensible policies

Speaking as someone who was oversees being shot at (sort of)

Re: Article is a bit Harsh
Didja RTFA? There is no 'support' required because it uses the same character set in which I cam currently typing.
@Mike Uchima
Good point, I'm not sure what to make of it.
Time for a Tim Horton's run!

I can't imagine
Why anyone would think that 500 days was a good idea.
As much as I respect Mr. Watterson
And loved his comics, the law clearly says that transformative works are allowed, 'wishes' of the creator notwithstanding.
Bought some of Hogarth's e-books
On her website after reading about it here last time. Good stuff, well-written and fun. Recommended reading.

Also went and looked

So let me understand this
If I hire Christopher Dietz to perform remodeling, I can get sued because there is a possibility that he might not complete the work properly? Gee, I would not want Christopher Dietz to sue me simply because he may not have completed the work to the customer's satisfaction. In fact, it seems like Christopher Dietz suing a previous customer in small claims court, and then in the Virginia Supreme Court about possibly shoddy workmanship is a bad thing.

Re: This will totally work.
OK, glad I wasn't drinking coffee when reading that. Nice.
I'm in
Very happy to support musicians
