Canada trades a lot of goodness with Cuba, which is a pretty good source after you get past Castro. The US would have access to this goodness if it weren't for the badness mine known as the Senate.
I think computer magazines are dead and have been for a while. The Internet makes it practical for a site to target a narrow audience, but a magazine has to be readable by a large audience to be profitable.
Slashdot is the new computer magazine. It filters out all the news I don't want, advertising isn't intrusive, and I can read what other people think after I've read an article.
I wonder how long it will be until all magazines become sites like Slashdot? I wouldn't count on Crochet Monthly becoming a Slashdot-type site for a while, but it definitely might be that way someday.
BTW, has any more thought been given to the Slashdot Magazine? I'm not sure that I'd buy it, but then again, I sure could use some News for Nerds while I'm sitting on the can.
"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" did one of their "Talking to Americans" segments and Rick Mercer got a regular ol' Yank to say "Congratulations Canada on getting running water in all five states!" I laughed at that one for a while.
I'm scared that I'm going to spend a good day or two looting and coming home to realize that I looted stuff that wasn't Y2K ready. It doesn't matter, what good will it be if I have no power.
Can I configure it to be a act like a regular modem as well? If so, I'd buy it just because it is a PCI controller-based modem, and there aren't too many of those around.
My major problem with the article is that it seems to lump the whole Slashdot community together. I know that all you Slashdotters are very opinionated and I'm surprised I haven't seen any offended by the fact that Roblimo tells you that the best woman for you is the same as the best woman every other Slashdotter.
So what is my advice? I say that you have to find out for yourself. You have to be in relationships with women that you believe are physically and emotionally appealing. You have to fuck up a relationship and make mistakes sometimes. You gotta find out if the geek woman, the ditz, the old fashioned woman, or whoever is right for you by yourself or you won't likely find the right wife or be a good husband.
After reading that last sentence, I just realized I was being a little hypocritical. I'm sure all the female Slashdotters out there would not want to be labelled as one of the categories I previously mentioned. So don't say you like a woman because she's old-fashioned, be specific with what traits you like.
Now I'll say what I like best in a relationship. I like it when I've had a bad day, I like when I have someone who will comfort me. I like to be able to rant to someone about what really pisses me off, and get some sincere sympathy. It's very cathartic. But even better is to do the same for your partner. It's very satisfying and makes me really happy to improve my partner's mood. (Am I being selfish by getting happiness in this? Should I be taking while giving at the same time?)
Furthermore, I don't think Roblimo says anything really new (at least to me) other than to avoid geek women altogether, which I disagree with anyway. It's sort of like saying that "Genie in a Bottle" tells the truth about relationships. Well, it does, but it doesn't say anything insightful or that I didn't already know!
I'm not participating in the corresponding poll because to say that women are a mystery would be saying that all women are mysterious in the same way.
Mr Cleese said this on Dennis Miller Live a while ago when it was taped in Denver. I'm paraphrasing it heavily.
He talked about how he attended an event where they had a few of the richest people in the world in one room. Cleese thought that all the people would be able to sit back, have a glass of wine, and be happy that they've succeeded. But no. They all hate each other. It's insane.
I'm a bodybuilder and hockey player so I have pretty big wrists. Does that affect my chances of getting CTS? (So far, I don't have any of the symptoms of CTS. I have an original MS Natural Keyboard and a mouse resembling an Intellimouse. I use my computer 8 hours a day at most, but usually 2 hours a day.)
Even people who develop on Windows don't care about open source.
I don't think open source is about world domination, it's about sharing software with people who want it, and the number of people who benefit from open source on windows will be next to none.
Leave him alone! He has four things that keep him busy enough: -Be a family man -Kernel stuff -World Domination -Work with aliens on strange new technology (that's his paying job!)

Hehe, you just exactly described my Win95 box. What's it for? Word Processing and the like, and games. And I don't plan on upgrading because I still get decent framerates on games like Driver and Quake 3.
As for my Linux box (P120, 40 MB RAM), I don't ever plan on upgrading it. It's more than enough to learn to code.
Tell that to Gary Larson. It's hell month on my Far Side off the wall Calendar! Hehe: "Graffiti in hell: Satan is a warm and tender guy. For a pleasant conversation, call Satan":)
Think of it as in between the USA and Sweden, politically speaking. Or think of it as the USA plus social services and a little more tax. I wouldn't call it socialist seeing that the NDP isn't big anymore, except in BC.
I've been following many of the instant messaging projects that are around, but I don't know which one to try.
I want the one that is closest to ICQ, has a good Windows client, and is fairly mature.
As a little side note, I think Teaser and Firecat is an important project in this field, mainly becuase it does not attempt to emulate ICQ and therefore is more secure. But we need something that is like ICQ, just because Windows users are more at home with it.

Regardless, all is clear up here in northeastern Alberta!!! The moon has risen and I have my camera all ready.
There is also one on August 1, 2008 for the Arctic.
Would it have survived if they used the Giant Airbag method of landing? Isn't that what Pathfinder used?

Then I saw I rabbit with a face, a beer, and a joint.
But this is weird because it says this on the page where Mahir gets funky with this bad self: "e mail : lil_bastards@telus.net (for ad offers)"
It's strange because Telus happens to be my ISP, and I live in Alberta, Canada!

hehe, mod this up.
The point is finding out who has code that will most benefit Linux that Redhat can buy.
More replies like this please! These are the gems that keep me from ignoring comments all together.

Insert lame-assed Beowulf comment here.
I don't waste my time worrying about what stereotype I should fit into.
You can call me a geek or a nerd. Hell, you could call me a grilled cheese sandwich for all I care!
I am me.
Tell that to Gary Larson. It's hell month on my Far Side off the wall Calendar! Hehe: "Graffiti in hell: Satan is a warm and tender guy. For a pleasant conversation, call Satan" :)
The party will suffer due to the Slashdot effect! Imagine a million geeks crammed into a small area.
Think of it as in between the USA and Sweden, politically speaking. Or think of it as the USA plus social services and a little more tax. I wouldn't call it socialist seeing that the NDP isn't big anymore, except in BC.
Do you think it will be embraced as widely as the PSX was?
