New packaging, same product, poorly written software.
Look if they took vista, and put out a version that you could strip the DRM, indexing, firewall, and was backwards compatible all the way to DOS then I would buy it at a fair price.
Right now they want me to pay for services I don't like at a price thats too high. You can dress it up all you want, I still wont buy.
If memory serves can't the US confiscate anything that contains digital data at their border, therefore couldn't they now just take your passport and never give it back. That could prove to be a issue. Imagine, your going from Canada to the US, you present your passport to the US customs, they take it and then tell you "Nope not allowed in, you don't have your passport." You try to go back into Canada and then they say "We would let you in but since you don't have your passport your stuck, eh?"
As IT through your usually compensated some way through. When I worked for a company during the bubble we got OT, when I worked for NRT we got time in lieu, when I worked for shoppers drug mart they told us we were getting time in lieu, but if we tried to take it (like I did for my wedding) they just fired you. And at where I work now we get overtime and time in lieu, basically you get 1.5 times pay and you get a day off for the future, its actually really good.
Make sure you are not an ensign on this ship. Additionally if your in a red shirt it would be best to stay away from the plasma conduits. Or yellow shirt for the next generation of this engine.
Alright American's heres how it is:
You have always looked at us, Canadians as like your younger brother. Its always sad when the younger brother has to hold an intervention for the older brother. Your starting to wig me out here bro, I want to come and visit you without thinking your going to jack my ipod to pay for your addiction (oil) your other friends are worried too. Mexico always looked up to you but now even he's worried for you, I know you and Mom (england) have a weird relationship but even she is worried. Please sort yourself out bro, I want to hang out with you again. I want our governments to get along again. I want to go pick on the smaller nations with you again, but not till you start seeing reason.
Thanks, eh

if it wont install because of the other software on my computer I'm not worried, because it wont say so until well after I try to install in Canada I can sue them for the scam.
this story reminds me of a quote from star control 2:
A little superconductive spray-paint and Presto!
Your lander can sustain a direct hit by a lightning bolt
without crisping the passengers inside... usually.
Since the job is so easy that a nymph could do it
I expect all your landers will be treated in less than an hour.
Insted of giving these people a forum on youtube post video of a cop shooting these people and when they call for help the person on the other end says "haha, not going to fall for you pranking me again." I think THAT would be funny.
reminds me of my first day as an IT lead:
The old lead as he is leaving hands me 3 envelopes and says that if I run into a problem that the bosses have to call me on open the first envelope, if it happens again the second and if it happens one more time open the 3rd.
The first one told me to blame it on him, the second said to blame it on the team and lay a few people off. The third says "make 3 new envelopes..."
I don't buy the "space alien" story for the simple reason that the "Area 51" aliens look too much like us. Bipedal, five fingers, five toes, two eyes, one two holed nose, one mouth. Look at the diversity of life on earth, with hooved animals, pipedaal animals with feathers, squids, six legged insects and eight legged spiders, no legged snakes. And all of these creatures presumably evolved from the first earthly protolife, as we've never seen life sponaneously appear since, nor have we been able to cause it to spontaneously appear.
How many of the creatures you listed there evolved into curious tool builders? because seriously those are the only ones that will ever build spaceships. It could be that there is just something about a humanoid form that lends itself to being space fairing.
The thing that made KOTOR ok, was it was a MMO without all the annoying people. Now that they are putting them in the game will just be SWG and suffer from the the same problems. Personally I want to see them build a EVE like MMO for starwars.
or how about: "You will cooperate with the state for the good of the state and your own survival" over and over again. This technologies application are just plain not good. Theres only one I can see and thats helping deaf people hear by using a microphone and then beaming the sound into their brain, but this is a long way off.
Actually has more to do with the fact that the strip clubs rarely card and the drinking age is just a suggestion.
Just remember that driving in Quebec is different, drive as the locals do...you cant turn right at a red light, but you can drive straight through it!
slippery slope my friend, slippery slope...
that makes the assumption that citizenship must be earned and if thats the case what do you do to earn it?
read Starship troopers (read don't watch the movie) I think you'll find yourself in line with the society listed there.
You know I think this is one of the few game companies out there that actually get it. All there modern games have been a hit and I think thats because they produce quality first: the game has to have a good plot, it has to have replay and it has to be pretty, and if it doesn't meet those rules it doesn't get made. As someone who only buys good quality games, I know when its a blizzard game its worth me shelling out the $40+ for it.
Rogers doesn't charge a cancellation fee for contracts under 14 days old. So buy phone, with contract, cancel it with less then 30min of use on phone, get the contract monies refunded, unlock and sell. problem solved.

Same goes for Toronto, the company I work for cant get enough IT people, we have a man power shortage on the help desk.

wait? something that violates rule #34?! That's something truly news worthy.

how do we use it to open a stable wormhole to other planets?

You I guess you really do only rent the bottled water from the nasa cafe.
You could just come to America. Unless, that is, you like freedom. *accusing stare*
There, fixed it for you.

I have to ask, I know for mathematicians this is a big deal and all, but what are the piratical applications for this?
as a witch: I would rather not be burned thank you very much, and take your hunts elsewhere.
