One of the most important posts regarding this election campaign.
I won't touch "global warming" or most environmentalist nuts with a ten-foot poll, but this has got to be the stupidest plan for the environment I've ever seen.
Polar bears not facing extinction? She hasn't been to Alaska or even to her neighbours has she? Even the Nunavimmiut are only allowed something like 2-3 polar bears a year, and the government wants to try and stop that too. Whales are another issue. They're an important source of energy for them, but they are some of the most spectacular creatures I've ever seen. Intelligent, long-living (some have lived for 200+ years), beautiful, and tame (only orcas are fairly violent and they're not really whales).
She definately does not deserve to be anywhere near the US capital. We'd never let anything fly like this here, not even as candidates. I'm suprised you've let her get into the system. But she's appointed and not voted in isn't she?
If the president dies don't you call another election?
Although nobody's ever died in office here, we call elections all the time (Canada). I thought they did the same in the US? Or are election dates set in stone and the VP takes over until elections?
Because everything was made from nothing that was created by nothing that one day exploded due to the nothing and created everything...... Is like not being a member of a fictional comedic society.
Right?
Because creationism is so flawed. And thinking that something or someone must have sparked the dawn of life! How barbaric! We all know we spawned out of nothing! Fuck your "laws" I listen to no one! We all know you're a bunch of cavemen who all think that the earth is 6000 years old and was created perfect as is! All of you types believe humans frolicked with dinosaurs! Your beliefs are so stupid compared to our true ones! They are facts and totally incompatible!
Reminds me of people who scream stupid things like Ockham's Razor. Well, think about it, a wizard did it, or it all appeared out of nothing one day? What's simpler then?
There should be a -1, Religious mod. Because seriously, fuck off. Nobody invited religion to this topic. We're discussing Ms. Palin's technology platform, not what she holds true.
It's pointing out apple is not magically godly quality.
By the way, I'm pretty sure they don't do the Wii, if only because it's ATI graphics and an IBM CPU; highly unlikely Foxconn is the one making the boards.
I have no idea what my MP is saying on it, but I'm pretty sure he's against at this point (McGuinty).
IMHO, if your local representatives are shit, or they won't stand against the DMCA, vote Green. If only because even though I disagree with the whole socialist-green-politics, the Greens need the votes. If you get as many people convinced to vote Green too all the better. And one Green seat means one less conservative/liberal vote, and one less chance of stupid bills being passed.
I think the most important thing is, though, the CRIA likes the levy, and was not interested in the Canadian DMCA.
That says a lot. I don't really give a shit about what movie companies say. There are none in Canada, and if there are, they're either incredibly shitty, owned by americans, or tiny shops that wouldn't mind more exposure.
What were they thinking with the DMCA? I mean, what we need is a murdering of corporations like Rogers and Bell, not encourage them. If Verizon came to Canada we'd pay their offices, pay their wages, and help them lay down fibre. Anything is better than the fail rogers/bell/ are, shaw/telus are in the west, videotron is in Quebec, and a government-run internet is a horrible idea.
Zalman, SeaSonic, and anything made with CWT parts are the best. For gamers, go for a Corsair power supply; made by SeaSonic and/or CWT, most have Japanese so you know you're getting the best, and they have a single 12V rail for stability.
450W should be fine unless you've got 12 hard drives and dual GTX280 in SLI and one of the Pentium Ds... which you shouldn't.
Look for plenty of certifications, too. Weight doesn't mean much anymore.
All of Apple's parts are Foxconn, except the intel processors, and $somebody's hard drives.
Congratulations, you have parts made from the bottom-of-the-barrel of the shittiest components maker, Foxconn. Nobody would touch that with a 10-foot poll when they have Gigabyte.
Apple cuts its costs to make a profit, too. Or you thought an iMac really costs 1000$ to make?
But let's not count the chickens before the eggs hatch, because the conservative "government" might not be wiped out entirely in this election.
Of course conservative party has never really held a real majority passed Sir John A MacDonald's days, or maybe Diefenbaker. So they could quite likely fall in October.
They sit around unused. Now a bunch of "I WANT MY SHOOTING GAME WII SUCKS" idiots jump for 360s, but at the end of the day, you can play these games at "high definition" resolutions with pretty much any entry-level PC equipped with a good video card. So why buy the 360? So you can give microsoft money for the software that you could buy much cheaper later?
When science is being run by politicians and a minority of scientists on data based on one specific view with the rest rejected, well, is this really better science?
I'm a skeptic. Don't consider me a nutjob like most of you view the "oh there's no global warming, there's no pollution, just dump your shit in the rivers" types. I'm a skeptic. I will follow through on most of these "reduce your carbon footprint" guides if they make sense, because lower bills is good.
because *nix does not cripple the Atom-based PC's hardware restrictions.
But that's if the harsh atom limits are not hit first.
Atom and Microsoft go hand in hand. That's why I've been planning to go for a VIA netbook. the 1000 series are looking very nice, even though no other netbook is really as cheap as the dell one.
I don't want my native tongue, my language of expression, to die because of american influence.
I'd rather be shot than not allowed the right to speak French. If you love yourself you'd do the same for you language. You wouldn't drop English for Spanish.
The laws are there to protect minorities. French in western canada, english in eastern canada. Because one of the things we all agreed on a long time ago is that nobody gets isolated and effectively wiped out anymore.
The warmest periods on earth supported gigantic creatures and even larger plantlife.
Why is this a bad thing? I love the cold and I really can't see a negative to seeing india and florida flood in exchange for bumper crops across the globe, or giant forests, or what have you.
The problem is it's not getting warmer across the globe.
If one year in the "trend" you seem to claim exists breaks the "trend", does your theory still hold true? Especially when the period with the most CO2 in the air was a "frozen era"? With Times going so far as saying there would be a global ice age?

Shooting animals from low-flying planes?
Sicko, total sicko.

What are your thoughts on OCZ then?
(Here's something sad: FutureShop has beaten out a few local stores, and a couple online stores, for Kingston DDR2-667. What the hell.)
Make sure to get a quality power supply.

Consoles? Useless without online play?
I'm really feeling old. I remember visiting cousins just to play SNES/N64 games with them. =/
The problem is nobody wants a 360.

Like first person shooters?
Because IBM made the "PC", which ironically did not use an IBM processor, but the "mac" did up until the end of the "G5-era".
People falsified science for a long time.

Well, the numbers look realistic.
Hey, you know what'd be funny, if there's only 2/3 of the xbox users reported and the others are RRoD'ed units...
The only "evil" thing in the NES era was that Nintendo did everything, and you were allowed like 3 games a year.
That's not mistreatment. It's good business policy. ALL the games on NES/SNES were good.
I can't say the same about the playstations or xbawxen.

And yet they'll release to France next, right?
That's what they did for ubuntu systems, at least. =/
I don't really think they've ever screwed over developpers, unless you mean they make great first party games that wipe them out.
It's not underpowered at all. You kids just seem to think everyone's got an HDTV, now get off my lawn. :)

Yet it still doesn't erase the legendary 33% failure rate ths 360 still has going.
I hear from an anonymous coward claiming to be a walmart higher-up that this is the biggest failure of a product without being recalled...
Why is parent modded troll? It's really informative to say the least.
Remember kids, troll isn't "I hate you", it's "You're cruising for a bruising!".
