Actually, almost all of them do, you need to press a button at the bottom back near the hinge to raise it. Its also a great way to lie down and sleep if the seats next to you aren't taken! It's like 1st class in coach.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the bill of rights entitle every Canadian to freedom of speech? And what Bell is doing is limiting peoples access to communication resources, therefor limiting peoples freedom of speech.
Man, the CRTC is so bias, and utterly useless! They have never seemed to care...
Well, any HD content that produced by big media is protected, so... for the most part, the average person isn't going to come across HD content that isn't HDCP protected.
Who here actually has an HD video camera and actually produces HD content that they distribute to more then just their family/friends? I'm betting, very few.
There are lots of small companies who do, but they are certainly not mainstream...
But, meh, your do have a point...
Vista compatible computers have had this for years. It's called HDCP and if you want to view HD content at an actual HD resolution, you need to have HDCP compatible hardware.
Apple is obviously readying themselves to start offering Blu-Ray video, probably at Macworld this January...
Maybe a solution to this problem is to go higher up and see if another person in your department at a higher lever thinks it's O.K. to proceed. If so, then you know that if you don't change jobs, you'll be in for a lot of resistance.
Personally, there is no way in hell I would do that for my boss. It's just plain wrong. But it's always good to see where everyone else stands in the company, just so you are not shocked at the ramifications if you decline, and try to go higher up for support on your position.
I just have a computer sitting on my network at home with a domain name as a server for my stuff. Of course it's not offsite so if my house burns down or is robbed I am screwed, but my stuff is on the cloud so I can access it where ever I am. Plus it makes a nifty web server for my blog. www.ccdcweb.com:D
Some how I don't think this is quite what he had in mind though...
Well, here in Ottawa, Canada we get 95GB/month on Rogers' highest plan. We regularly use about 150GB/per month. The great thing is that in our part of Ottawa (Old Ottawa East) Rogers has a monopoly so we can't switch to a cheaper provider because we don't get DSL...
I agree. If you include a whole modern system, there is no reason why it would not last 25 years, as long a corrosion does not get to it. The C64 still works don't it? I think you should be fine.
I work for an Apple authorized service provider in Canada, and there are two options (with two different prices)... there is an exchange option for hard drive replacement (cheaper) and there is a non return hard drive replacement option (more expensive)...
There is only one program that I use to watch or listen to media on my computer, the program that came built in with my os, Quicktime. That way I am guaranteed that if file X will play in Quicktime, it will also play in every other media based program in my computer.
As for your other point, what happens if I want to watch or listen to that content on that web page out side of my browser?
I, personally will pay to get a better product. I know that's not in style now a days, but thats just me.
So if I have to pay a royalty so the content on the web can be used by any application on my computer, then so be it!
Im not saying that all things that are free / open source are bad, but if there is an option for a better product, for a cost, I would be willing to pay that cost, as long as the cost is reasonable.
Public looses? It would be a loss for me (and the general public) if Ogg was used... I have a music library of 2300 songs in my computer all in lossless MPEG 4 format, and I don't have a single piece of software that can play an Ogg file, like 95% of the rest of the world! HTML5 is suppose to be a standard, so why don't they use what is popular?
If you want to use Ogg, go right a head, but I (and most of the rest of the world) use MPEG, so don't force Ogg on me, because I don't want it.

Actually, in the interest of fairness, some people actually can't do anything about their weight... but the other 95% can...

Return it and demand a refund. I did that with my Palm Lifedrive after 4 units broke in 8 months...
If you were working as an undertaker, and your manager tells you to bury a live person, would you? I would certainly hope not.
To add: You could also transfer to another department within the same company to avoid it.

I think a better question is why would you buy an Eee PC with Windows on it? I say thats just karma teaching you a lesson! ;)
Yeah this is fake. It's not actually on google maps... Take a look: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Tscheljabinsk+Russland&ie=UTF8&cd=1&ll=55.16035,61.402127&spn=0.004952,0.007499&t=h&z=17

That was hilarious! Don't you think? Or was I the only one who notices that Bill's club card (0:57) had his mug shot from when he was arrested on it?

No, no, its because they played too much Grand Theft Auto.

Consistency is what I want.
Well, personally, I hate flash with a passion.
