A co-worker sent me this article because he likes to see me get riled up. The article is about a company called NebuAd which claims it has balanced the privacy/advertising dilemma. “Mr. Dykes said NebuAd requires ISPs to ask their customers whether they want to opt out.” First of all …
I stumbled across this chart of the top 100 Canadian albums of all time. Evidently it was made by musically challenged Morons. Neil Young has an astonishing 7 albums on the chart, yet the Barenaked Ladies do not have even one. Not one! Ever heard of the album Gordon? Speaking …

UNBC has begun controlling access to the sports centre with finger print scanners. There is nothing at UNBC that warrants that level of security. People are being forced one finger at a time to give up their right to privacy. They didn’t say what would happen to students who refused, …
