Slashdot Mirror

Now, the going radio theory is that there is a problem near the Niagra New York/Canada border. The Pentagon is saying that there is no indication of terrorism.

See what happens when the mad cow / low-flush toilet / softwood lumber disputes are not resolved to our satisfaction?
[adopt Kodos voice] Bwahhahahaha!

Canadian World Domination Map

I am SOOO glad I was born in Canada.
Why don't you folks hurry up and conquer us?

I came across these recently. I had never seent hem before, they're interesting.
Basically they're USB CD towers. They do not actually play the CD's, but rather just catalog them, and spit them out at you when you request a disc. They also have some features that allow you to loan discs to friends and they'll track their location and such.
I like it.

This one does 75 CD's http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool s/item-details.asp?sku=K26-2800%20P
This one does 100 CD's http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool s/item-details.asp?sku=B600-2000%20P
The cool thing about the second one is you can daisy chain it and store up to 127,000 CD's or so.

Also there's tigerdirect.ca for the Canucks out there. :)

The Canadian Alliance is the official opposition. The Minister, in this case responsible for culture/heritage and a member of the Liberal party, championed the bill for "artist's rights" (I guess) and with the support of the Liberal party, which has a majority, pushed it through. I guess the Liberals also miss the point that independent artists (well, OK, NO artists as of now) are getting any money from the levy.

Unfortunately, we live in a not so benevolent dictatorship where one guy rules the roost. In a majority government, there are no real checks and balances: the Senate is pretty toothless here. Ever read Piet Hein? Majority Rule is a pretty cool poem.

I'm sure that Stand On Guard will give you a better perspective on Canadian politics.

Yes, we know all about you canadians!

Mouhahahahaha!

Our time is coming!
Soon the weak will be crushed by the ski-doo riding hordes from the north!

Step 1: Ice age
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Canadian world domination!

of course not... we've known all along - its Canada!

Just you wait...

Are you kidding?

It will be glorious when the Tanks roll across the border and the conquest is complete

The article plainly describes that the beam will be fired through the earth, past the detectors, and INTO CANADA

Can't you see that this is a retaliatory attack. The people of the United States have lived in fear of the looming Canadian invasion forces for the nearly two centuries since Canadian troups burned down their presidential mansion. It's only right that the US should be able to defend itself against the Canadian menace.

...and the final step in our glorious plan for Canadian World Domination!!

...we [Canada] should annex The Netherlands...

Candian World Domination

Actually, you want us (Canada) to invade.
Think about it, better beer, lower drinking age, etc.

Nah, we'll just make them (and the rest of the world) our slaves while they worship their benovalent dictators in the frozen north. See here for the battle plans!

They have secret plans in the works.

Is conquering Slashdot part of this evil scheme?

dirty Canucks, first the movie industry, now IT, soon, we, I mean THEY, will complete their drive for total world domination. HAHAA HAHAHA HAAAAAA!!!

Canadian World Domination

You can get an hour for a bowl of poutine and a few strips of back-bacon.

Fair warning, of course, this is just a small part of the grand Canadian master plan to take over the world.

Oh, I'm sorry but you have it all wrong. You see, Canada is going to take over the U.S. ...it's all described here. ;-)
(by the way, the equipment was shipped FROM Canada TO the U.S.)

Neo-Canada, eh? This must be after the Canadian World Domination Front worked out. ;)

Stand On Guard

..this is how we plan to take over Earth. Our spaceborne regiments of hockey-stick armed toothless warriors will plunge towards the Whitehouse and burn it (again) just as the Presidential transition is taking place, eliminating both of your "great leaders". This will leave you with no choice but to bring back Jimmy Carter.

Essentially leaderless, you Americans will be easy pickings for our elite spacedivers. Imagine the surprise advantage of having a regiment of troops show up out of nowhere. Once military objectives have been achieved, we will appropriate your radio stations, and subject you to Canadian content, 24-7. Those Americans who do not kill themselves after two continuous hours of Celine Dion will be given the option of slavery or becoming part of FROG (France Reconnisance Operations Group).

Our next objective will be Buckingham Palace. A quick, effective strike on the Royal Family will destroy the tabloid industry and thus destabilize the world economy. Demoralized and destitute, the rest of the world shall fall beneath the crunch of our hockey skates.

Oh, come on. It's pretty obvious geographically that all of Alaska, especially the panhandle, should belong to Canada. We'll even give you Quebec if it makes you feel better.

Or we may just take it. :-)

Actually, EA Sports (a big player in the Sports Games field) is located in Vancouver, Canada.

I remember hearing a while ago how Japanese companies are buying all the American companies. But guess who's buying the Japanese companies? The British.

The Australians dominated the Olympics. The British are taking over the corporate world. The Canadians are plotting a military assault. The Commonwealth will rise again! :-)

Now what was that web site again?

www.standonguard.com

Yeah, that's the one.

Interestingly, the top 10 links in the MSN search are all for the Canadian military. And then IE5 GPFed on me.

Is Dungeons & Dragons really a Canadian conspiracy as many have suspected all along?

funny, but I've only ever heard americans say "abOOt" instead of about

That's because you live in Canada... I'm Canadian and I don't say abOOt, but I realise that I don't say it "abOWWWt" like an American. The Canadian pronunciation of vowel sounds is quite distinctive, and even has a name in linguistics: Canadian Raising.

Americans and others who say "abowt" tend to hear an "oo" sound even though it's not there. Our pronunciation is often much closer to "oo" (from their point of view) than to "ow", so they hear "oo". Americans just don't make the same vowel sounds as we do. It's like an anglophone's pronunciation of the french letter "r".

Think about it. When you hear an American say "about" do you hear an American accent? I do. It sounds like "abowt". Conversely, it makes sense that they should hear just the opposite from us: abOOt.

And yes, I am living in the States right now, but am (as any good Canadian should be) a full-fledged member of the Campaign for Canadian World Domination.

Canadian World Domination

Canada will soon take over the world!!!
