I'm sure health care is the only difference between those countries. It couldn't be that governments offered better subsidies to make a plant in a country, or that a cheaper Canadian dollar makes it more favorable to pay people in cad and export to US, or a variety of other factors. Health care must be why they chose Canada.
I know you guys like to give Canada as an example for health care. Guess what, on top of the basic levels of health care provided by the government (which have actually decreases in some parts in recent years), a lot of companies offer health care insurance to their employees.
CO2 is not trash gas, it's actually quite fundamental for life. What kills you (some other gases too) from auto exhaust is generally CO. Chemistry hard.
I shouldn't answer an AC troll but, you really are fine with the government in power using one of it's departments to make life hard for it's opponents while giving passes to it's supporters? You do realize that democrats will not be forever in power, and if it is fine now well I imagine it will be fine for a republican government to look into the tax exempt status of media matters and moveon and planned parenthood, right?
And at the same time Switzerland has almost no gun laws, a massive amount of guns (even fully automatic rifles) and one of the lowest rates of crime in the world. Maybe, just maybe regulating guns has nothing to do with it.
"regulate handling guns at least as much as you regulate driving cars"
If you think guns are not at least as regulated as cars, then I suggest you stop watching msnbc.
"Then of course there is the little empire of Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio."
If you make comments at least inform yourself on the issues. Texas, Arizona, ah fuck it same thing.
The same bill has to pass through both house and senate. So even if the senate passes the bill (PIPA), the house would have to vote on the same version. If they can't agree, then they can either make a session together to vote on a version (not sure what the requirement is for a bill to pass in a conference session) or the bill dies.

Samsung also will be paid the feed-in rate of 13.5 cents a kilowatt hour for the wind power it produces and 44.3 cents for its solar power. Electricity bills are climbing in Ontario, because these generous contracts with green power producers are well above the market price of 3.31 cents for electricity.
They do not ban an entire account from all their games. I.e. they do not ban you from playing WoW if you cheat in SC2. They ban that battle.net account from playing SC2.
And for the hundredth freaking time - they banned him/her for using a cheat while playing multiplayer, not singleplayer. Whether it was a custom game or ladder is irrelevant.
How is that a work around? You do not care about any of the online features - multiplayer, achievements, etc. so you get to click on one button which basically takes you to a screen which is similar (in content) to the Starcraft screen.
You don't have to be connected to the internet ALL THE TIME to play single player SC2. After you connected once - the first time - for the game to authenticate itself (since your key is attached to your bnet ID) you can play in offline mode (I think it is called Guest - button on the login screen down right)
You are missing a couple of things:
1. The game is supposed to have 3 battlefronts, each culminating with a battle for the respective capitals. Stuff done in the lower tiers (their name for zones) helps the fight for the capitals somewhat. By removing 2/3 pairing capitals you basically invalidate 2/3 of your game. Why would I fight in the dark elf/high elf zones when it will have 0 impact on the end game. I can go in the human/chaos zone and actually impact the end game that I will have to fight in.
The capitals are the end game of WAR, they were not the end game of WoW, so they are not directly comparable.
2. It does have 12 classes per faction, and 24 in total, but those classes are mirrored. For example the orc tank and the high elf tank have similar mechanics. Different names for it, but the underlying mechanic is the same. By removing the 4 classes, they are actually removing mechanics in the game, and making the game somewhat imbalanced.
Human tanks removal means they are removing tanks that base themselves on auras to fight/get aggro. (This was matched to the chosen who uses auras)
DE tank removal means you lose the tank that gains power as his allies/himself get beaten on. (This was matched to the dwarf tank that gains power as his allies get damaged)
Choppa/hamerer removal is the same. They were paired melee dps if I remember correctly, so again you lose mechanics that were supposed to be in the game. I think they had the idea of building momentum as they did more damage for both of them.
Especially the DE/human tank removal is going to unbalance a game, that they felt should be mirrored, and that is supposed to be PvP (RvR) first.
Remember all the crying of WoW paladin/shaman before BC, this is going to be quite similar I think.
You might want to check about Canada before saying. Canada also uses a system similar to the US - it is not proportional voting. We have a bunch of ridings and in each of the ridings you have subsection. The candidate with most votes in a riding wins that riding for his party.
Why is the count so fast in Canada, because each subsection counts its votes and reports back up. Usually we get the results by next morning and by midnight it is generally known who won, unless it is very tight.
It is totally different. On one hand you have two companies agreeing to "sell" to each other their own rights (you can consider they both sell for the same amount if you wish, if money do not change hands). On the other hand you have two companies sharing their rights in order to create a bigger amount to pay by someone new. (who for example might survive paying only MS, but not MS and Apple)
So let's see, you have two options:
1. Hard code value in code
2. Define a property in the registry let's say and read it when the scheduler starts, throttle the NIC accordingly.
You are seriously telling me 2 takes so much longer to code then 1 they did not have time? If it was such a big issue then the architecture of Vista is horrible.
We have to admit that they are great code writers, just not the best. No one in their right mind who knows even a small bit about coding, should consider hard coding a value to throttle network. Best case scenario that should be some form of externally read property, which should scale depending on system performance.
This is bulk file transfer. Not necessarily, for example most MMOs communication is done via very small, but very frequent packages. Now I am unsure as to how many it sends, but I can see problems if you transfer some files while playing an MMO at the same time.
And, in the applications department, there's really no open source offering that comes remotely close to Visual Studio 2005 and C#, SQL Server 2005, and certainly not even Office 2000, let alone newer versions of Office. Sure, OpenOffice word processing is ok, but the spreadsheet is crap, and the "Access" clone is terrible. Um Visual Studio 2005 is not a good application. Go take a look at any of the Java based open source IDEs - eclipse/netbeans. VS2005 is missing key features like on the fly compiling. (I had to install a paid plug-in to get that in VS). As for C# I believe you can find Java which is now open source, which works on ANY platform (well almost). C# generally beats Java in local apps while Java beats the crap out of c# server side.
SQL Server 2005? Derby and MySQL come to mind as open source. Office is true, the Visio equivalent in OO gave me headaches, but the math part of the word processor is much better then Office. As for access never have used it and never will, as I do not find it to be really a good solution for anything.

Or, an even better idea: Stop subsidizing it.

"Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jared Polis (D-CO)" But don't let the facts interrupt your blind support.

So Guild Wars 1 is a single player game in that case?

Notice the 41.0 cents they are getting for solar above market prices, guaranteed. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ontario-samsung-in-7-billion-deal-for-green-energy/article1439002/
Clean energy, who spends most of their money on R&D?
GE? Car companies getting money from goverment for electric cars? Companies getting massive subsidized energy prices for wind/solar?

Could it be because he has no technical knowledge about the issue and so he checked before he answered? Nah I'm sure it's all more sinister.

Galileo might not have been, but Einstein's relativity theory was. That is in part why his noble prize was not on the theory of relativity.
