"Fair Use" does not exist in Canada. There is a more amorphous concept called "fair dealing": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing#Canada Related to that, you might want to check out this lawsuit against the Law Society of Upper Cana

How is that reasonable? Sounds like Mr. Swartz was willing to host them for free! And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling police. But seriously, $12/article is ludicrous. That must be way above cost recover

Haha. Ok ok, children cost $166k in Canada to raise: http://www.ccsd.ca/factsheets/family/ It is possible to have a family that doesn't cost you money. Having kids is expensive... "Family" is a bad example. True.

Wrong. The vast majority of the world is free. Friendships are free. Families are free. Nature is free (in Canada, much of it is). Not really the free you're looking for? Feel free to walk around on public property and enjoy your right to f

I was happy to return to my domestic airport security after coming back through SFO. This type of "security" is alienating foreigners. I opted out of these scanners at SFO and was hassled by security as to why I would want to do that and th

Ha! But that depends on getting an interview! The article says that the shotgun method doesn't work and that the solution is to personalize your messages. You can't personalize based on the interview that you don't have because you didn't p

I think what you're doing is cool as hell. That may be because I'm stuck with workplace coffee today that sounds like a far cry from what you're sending this great volunteer.

That is not the case that the large drug companies sell for distribution + manufacturing cost. If that were the case, drugs would be essentially free in the rest of the world and they most certainly are not for brand names. In Canada the go

Especially if you're questioning them with very short direct questions that are relevant to their job (that may be important to them...) and then not letting it slide by dogging them until they answer. Not saying that's what the blog post r

Sorry, I don't. Are you interested in games? There are probably some good open source games you could try "modding". Probably some searching around on Sourceforge or Google would help you identify a project in your area(s) of interest.

Download Wordpress and try making a plugin. Play around with it and see what good programmers have done. You can try this for other software too (pick your language). It's one way of working with great programmers.

Sounds a bit abrasive to do this: "You ask, “Are you bored?” Even if you don’t have a gut feeling, it’s a good question to randomly ask your team. When I ask, I look you straight in the eyes and if you can’t stare me in the face and answer,

The firehose is actually a sample of the full amount of data. If you want more coverage you need to use other techniques. One way to do it is to search for a specific word. Constantly... Here's a poor quality video from TC Disrupt last year

What do you mean by "evaluate her requirements and build the simple online presence she needs"? If it's custom work based on a spec developed by interviewing her, it's going to take a while to do. It's probably not going to be "simple". May
