Re:What do they mean by regressive?
You can view WSJ articles (up to 5 per day) by googling the title ("Nevada's Solar Flare" in this case) and clicking on the WSJ link. It's also possible to bypass the paywall permanently.

Re:Silver
Let me guess: You're using AMD CPUs without proper (or rather not fully functional) thermal sensing and therefore don't see a difference between coolers... if the CPU doesn't actually display the current core temperatures, but rather calculates a theoretical temperature based on the current power usage and a generic heatsink model, you're obviously not going to see a difference unless you install a thermal probe yourself. See here: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/amd-overdrive-cpu-temperature-vs-core-temperatures-1066954/#post13247506
If you're running stock speeds and don't mind your CPU hitting temperatures that may or may not significantly reduce its lifespan, you're completely right - a high-end CPU cooler will be useless for you.
For the rest of us, reducing load temperatures by 20-30% is always a great option... and overclocking the right chip (I'm still on Sandy Bridge for this reason) provides a fantastic performance boost. 60-70C at nearly 5GHz across all cores on air cooling is pretty impressive, IMO. The stock cooler (I'm using the old "Alpenföhn Brocken") would probably be around 80-90C, which is far too high if you're looking to keep the CPU for more than two or three years.

Re:Not murder
The irony is, it was really only 20 cents.

Re:buying a car
bad example BMW will not sell you a brand new car if you are a Canadian resident
:). this is a good read if you plan on importing a car. http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307601&highlight=Import CAD MSRP and US MSRP are like comparing apples to oranges. You really dont know what kind of savings you will have until you actually bargain with the US dealers. $20k on a Subaru Outback is a huge savings IMHO for a couple hours of work. -
Dell AthlonX2 $382.59 USD @ DELL
OK... so Dell.ca has a very decently spec'ed computer for about $100 more... (I'm sure there are similar deals in USD... it's $399 CDN... just did a quick conversion on XE.com
http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/alldeal s/pop7days/#e26983
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4000+
* Windows XP Professional
* 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz - 2 DIMMs
* 160GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
* 16x DVD+/-RW Drive
* Microsoft Works 8
* Integrated 7.1 Audio, Video
* Dell USB Keyboard, Optical USB Mouse
* 1 Year Next Business Day Onsite/In Home Service and Tech Support
I think it's worth it for $100 more... even with possible crapware... XP Pro itself is worth like $150 OEM. (I'd still rather of XP than Vista at the moment) -
Re:Wait a minute...
I hear ya! I finally got mine this afternoon... after waiting for two hours at an EB Games in Calgary.

Mike Jandreau is not the first
...to be outed after stupid behavior:
Laura K Pahl is a plagiarist!
Subway pervert Dan Hoyt was arrested by police and charged with public lewdness
The Ultimate Best Buy Extended Warranty Nightmare outs by name a couple of store managers...
And many, many more.In these cases, there seems to be acceptance of truth by the accusers; how many others are fabrications? If Jandreau's accuser were a jilted ex-girlfriend with a creative, convincing lie, how would he undo the damage?
Will the continued slashdot-front-paging and diggability of these stories dwindle as we become numb with their commonness?

saving
i normally use the Hot Deals forum of http://forums.redflagdeals.com/ or Mbay at http://mbcanada.com/
-
For Canadians --
http://www.redflagdeals.com/ is unmatched. They also have a very big message board, the "hot deals" section always has the latest deals from various Canadian vendors. It's not uncommon for a product to go out of stock quickly after being posted to RFD.

In Canada, Redflagdeals.com
http://www.redflagdeals.com/
The forums are what make RedFlagDeals such a great site. There is an active userbase who post deals and others comment on them based on their knowledge/experience.
From their site FAQ.
What is the purpose of RedFlagDeals.com?
RedFlagDeals.com was and will always be designed as a source of information to help Canadians save money on both online and offline purchases. With the advent of the Internet, Canadians from across the country can now gather together and share information. RedFlagDeals.com is the community where this can take place. With daily deals, coupons, rebates, forums and much more we hope that everyone will be able to save just a little bit on their purchases.
Is this an online shopping site?
No. RedFlagDeals.com is not an online shopping site. It is a web site designed to inform Canadians about the hottest shopping deals across the country. Via the Internet, visitors to the site can access information about online and offline shopping deals, as well as coupons and rebates.
What is the difference between RedFlagDeals.com and online shopping web sites?
Consumers should visit RedFlagDeals.com BEFORE they shop to learn about shopping deals, coupon codes and rebate information available to consumers for both on and offline purchases. They can then visit their favourite shopping web sites or retail outlets to take advantage of the deals they've found at RedFlagDeals.com! -

Cheaper from Comwave
Using a link from http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/main.php/ongoin
g /, you can get a Comwave VoIP package for $9.95 Canadian with a Long distance package for $2.95 Canadian. Those prices seem a little more reasonable than the AOL package. -
For the Canadians, EH!
Redflagdeals.com is a lot like slickdeals.net (mentioned above) but for more aimed at Canadians (in Canadian dollars, tries to target Canadian retailers... etc). Handy site, I picked up a generic 4 port wireless router for $37CAD - $40USD mail in rebate a few weeks back!

Re:Canadian bargains?
If you haven't noticed any of the above commenters saying the same thing, try RedFlagDeals.com.

In Canada the two best are...
RedFlag Deals and Price Network
I prefer RedFlag Deals myself. -
For the Canucks out there ...
Check out Red Flag Deals for a nice selection of rebates, coupons and specials from Canadian dealers. The site covers all sorts of merchandise, but seems to be predominantly geared towards geek-analia.
