When I was younger, 40 odd years ago, I used to wonder why America was considered a bastion of freedom. Possession of certain plants were highly illegal, being a communist was illegal, kids who went to the States for a year of schooling came back with stories about having to swear allegiance to the flag every day much like in a dictatorship. Black people were finally being allowed to use the same washrooms as white people. They could with a straight face have a constitution which stated all men were equal and allowed slavery. America always seemed like the ultimate example of successful propaganda.
Actually the Canadian system was put in place to make it legal to format shift. As in make a copy for your car stereo. The courts have ruled that this includes all music sharing. Perhaps you are in favour of people being sued for making a copy for their car or MP3 player but I'm happy I can buy a CD, rip it and copy it to my wife's MP3 player all legally.
Yes and no. Some blank media like CDr has the levy but they never got around to implementing it for blank DVDs, MP3 players etc. Now a days blank DVDs are cheaper then blank CDs and since everyone has a DVD player/burner...
I used to have a chart, presumably done by someone who knew the math. At 1 gee it was about 70 years to the edge of the observable universe. A month at one gee will get you to Pluto including spending half the trip decelerating. It takes about a year to accelerate enough to start getting much in the way of relativistic effects.
Here in BC where the Olympics are being held we just finished the warmest January recorded. February is shaping up the same way. Just because the gulf stream seems to be slowing down and those places are getting the kind of weather that is expected so far north means very little.
They actually use 16 mm? I was just talking to a friend who was bitching about a Jeep that used 15 mm somewhere. I commented that I had never needed a 15 and we both agreed that we'd never needed a 16. My '88 F150 seems to use a 9/16ths for the oil drain.
All that happens is that you have 2 bins in the hardware store. Metric and imperial. Much like today where some equipment is metric, some is standard (split between fine and course threads) and pipe threading is still whitworth.
We (Canada) converted about 35 years ago. Lumber is still measured in inches and feet. At the grocery store the prices on signs are per pound with the metric in small print, potatoes etc come in 10 lb bags. Distances and elevations are usually referred to in feet and miles and I have no idea how many cm tall I am or how many kilos I weigh.
And while I like the idea of having a standard system, perhaps it should be done per industry, rather than across all industries in all countries.
In practice that is what happens. Here in Canada we went metric in the '70's. Lumber is still measured in imperial and cooking is also done in imperial while most everything else is metric though many also use feet and miles for distance and elevation.
Unluckily the rest of the world is planning on implementing DMCA type laws. Even worse is they have learned from the American beta test. Canada has twice had versions working there way through parliament that luckily died due to elections. Also see the ACTA negotiations, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement .
All the Supreme Court has to do is enforce the first amendment correctly, eg congress will make no laws etc therefore legalizing child porn and watch how quick the constitution is amended. Come to think of it, shouldn't the first amendment override the copyright clause? At least where it infringes on free speech like singing happy birthday.
Wordperfect 8 (the tar.gz commercial version) runs fine after installing libc5.deb and xlib5.deb or something close to that. Even Wordperfect8.deb will install though a lot of stuff will get uninstalled. This can probably be fixed by removing the xlibg5.deb dependency.
Sorry, I jumped to my own experience, where the changes started within a day. Before my son lost his capability of speech (for 5 years) I was a very firm believer in vaccines. It also took quite a while after this to accept that the boy who was starting to talk, even called me Dad, was now incapable of speech. He still hasn't got to the point where he was the day before the vaccination though after his most recent evaluation the psychiatrist was quite amazed at his improvement. For most things he is about average now excepting communication, both spoken and written.
Back when this first came up the fix was considered pretty simple. Split the 3 live viruses up into 3 vaccines, space them out a bit to allow immune systems to catch up. Not stop giving vaccines. A little bit more pain in getting more shots, exactly the same reward.
When the issue first came up the fix was considered to split the vaccine into multiple vaccines. Inject one live virus at a time, let the immune system adjust then vaccinate for the next virus. Not stop giving vaccines. Anyways there seems to be lots of evidence that whatever was wrong with the first versions of MMR has been fixed now.

Yea, but he was going to India.

A lot of rinks have more then one ice surface with one resurfacing machine shared. So at somewhere like 4 rinks you can divide your number by 4.
Being this is BC, power generation is usually hydro.

You're right, I guess I'm behind on my bugmail.
There are also efforts being made to use GStreamer for Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422540
Some are smart enough to realize that it is in their self-interest to look after the interests of their friends and neighbors.

Of course the article is about the UK where the King James version of the bible is still under copyright.
Still when your child starts acting weird, and stops talking within days after getting a shot it is easy to draw a conclusion.
"For every problem, there is an answer that is simple, obvious, and wrong."
Which logically means the above is wrong. Which logically proves the above is right.
Seems your statement leads to infinite recursion.

The other question is, have all the studies been done with exactly the same vaccine?
