Your might as well just state that your provider is videotron.
I'm in the same boat but, as I'm sure your aware, that 100GB limit is combined download+upload traffic. This is an important fact for a generous leecher.
Dear Mac guys,
You can keep your browser, I never asked for it. And if you're offering to no longer distribute itunes+quicktime (because, god forbid i should be able to get one without the other) for windows, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That pdf link is very interesting. But it's a bit hard to take a document seriously when the ms word screenshots they used have the animated cat (for help) turned on.
I've been using Ubuntu for about a year now and the repositories have always been very fast. If many people actually do buy these Dells with Ubuntu preloaded, could it actually hamper my ability to perform updates?
I've often wondered if mainstream adoption of linux would actually be harmful to one of its best features (IMO).
What exactly are people searching for that they are afraid of having tracked? I use google all the time, the more it tracks my searches, the more it seems to know what I'm looking for. For instance, google suggest has gotten excellent at guessing what I want to search for.
I just don't understand the fear you people have of someone knowing what you searched for. And so what if they buy DoubleClick? I don't consider google ads to be intrusive in the least and with adblock I don't think I've seen a doubleclick ad in ages. Worst case scenario: if a doubleclick ad does gets through adblock it may just be relevant.
penultimate: The next-to-last in a sequence. For example, in a sequence of events, the penultimate event is the one that precedes the final event. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/penultimate
Apple, the penultimate source of cool. So apple is the before last source of cool?
Penultimate just happpens to be my favourite word in the English language. Please don't misuse it anymore.
I just finished my university degree in physics (I also had a brief unsucessful engineer degree debut) and no graphing calculators are allowed in exam rooms.
The McGill science faculty, engineer faculty, and the Polytechnique de Montreal only allow certain calculators at exams. If you plan on seriously investing in a calculator don't spend more than 25$. I have a Casio fx-991MS (on all the faculty's white-list) and I love it; it did everything I ever needed a calculator to do. For anything more complex I used maple or wrote a C program, and rarely did I ever need to graph something on a calculator (I got pretty good at approximating curves by hand).
I won't deny that TI makes a nice graphing calculator (the TI-89 is quite impressive), but in all honesty graphing calculators are just toys.

I strongly resent the use of the word pepper to describe Quebecers and their alleged suffering. According to a couple referendums apparently we DON'T want to separate from Canada (it's why were still Canadians).
Believe it or not a lot of us are level headed bilingual people. Even though I am from Montreal and love my city, it is not the only place worth mentioning in our province. We also have really awesome hydro-electric dams that provide electricity for a sh*tload of people.
And, by the way, you're not the one preventing us from playing your "reigndeer games", we do that to ourselves.
The main problem with the whole global warming thing is that it's a positive feedback mechanism. So the warmer it gets the more ice melts and the more ice melts the warmer it gets... and so on and so on.
Another huge problem is the enormous amount of flooding (in some highly populated areas) that is bound to occur when the large sections of land locked ice do thaw. So if you want to move make sure you move inland and uphill.
I honestly don't think there is anything you, or we, can do. Unless you can privately afford to build thousands of nuclear reactors around the world and then create machines that are powered by your nuclear plants that actually remove and store excess CO2. Some people say that we could reduce our emissions but that really doesn't help, we haven't yet seen the full effect of what's already up there so even if we start putting more in at a slower rate, I doubt it will help.
We are past the point of no return, it's too late, we're FUCKED!
And that is my humble opinion

I could live with that.
Seriously, I think google could probably do GPS navigation pretty well.
The last time I downloaded quicktime (many moons ago, right around the time itunes was first released for windows), there was no such option. Since then I have discovered these two gems: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alte rnative.htm

Considering how easy it is to add repositories, if Dell did this they might find themselves providing updates to more people than expected.
But, if they are providing software I might like, this could be a good thing.

In french it's pronounced "toton"
